The industry is calling it "human-in-the-loop" for now but it's basically going in the direction OP hints at.

Re:Monado: Open-source XR runtime for VR and AR on mobile, PC/desktop
on Monday October 14, 2024 @03:04AM (#41834965)
I have been aware of Monado's existence for a few years now, but could never figure out how one is supposed to integrate it into a development workflow.
Do you build an OpenXR application with Godot/Unity/etc and then build monado on your computer, and have to write some code using the SDK to launch your app in your target connected XR device? Or do you run Monado like a backgrounded server somehow and register compliant applications and hardware to it, enabling you to run them in the device.

for anyone looking for something like this, especially for teaching - TinkerCAD has a circuits app that is extremely similar but without the janky 3D. https://www.tinkercad.com/circuits

YES IT WAS README! I remember that speed reading feature was really cool too! The one where it shows only a single word on screen and highlights a few letters and you set a tempo to change the words.
Since they needed DRM-free ebooks, I spent some time to find some authors who published their works that way officially. Doctorow was one of the few that really cared to do that.
I've always remembered the name 'BeeLine' but couldn't find that app again. The name ReadMe has been used for too many other things for me to link it to a lesser known e-book app.

I didn't even know that this popped off from HN, but I used to used this on my gen 1 iPad to read Cory Doctorow ebooks. I had completely forgotten it but I loved it and want to set it up again. So cool!

this is so cool! I just listened to 50 different recordings of the same bird from all over the world and they all sound so similar. It should be obvious but I still find it fascinating

But they do have PyTorch support??? They ship a 'cerebras graph compiler' extension for pytorch that allows you to replace the default optimizer with theirs.
Re:Images of Hatha Yoga from the Joga Pradīpikā (19th Century)
on Thursday April 15, 2021 @06:27AM (#26818610)
A bit unrelated but important thing to note is that yoga isn't just exercise poses, it is a framework for a specific way of life. Asana is the part of that framework that deals with different postures that can build a healthy physical body while other parts of the teachings get into self-care, breathing, social interactions and self-reflection.

I do some projects that require WebGL and a good understanding of OpenGL makes life so much easier. WebGL from what I understand is based on OpenGL ES 2.0, and knowing how to write custom vertex and fragment shaders is important for my work

I can understand a fair bit of japanese and posts on Qiita have often been life-savers. They have quite a few medium-like long posts where people describe how to do something specific through a tutorial or step-by-step explanation. StackOverflow/Reddit aren't really great for that
Re:Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

I had an idea for a library that follows log files and triggers some events that can be defined through python code. I used it for one task at work and gave up on figuring out how to structure it since.
The idea is that it allows you to verify and test logging, which is an odd concept but helps ensure that things are predictable and consistent.

Re:How to count every language in India (2018)

I usually explain it as being similar to the differences in languages across Europe. If you take portuguese at one end and russian at the other and start tracing across countries, you'll notice certain similarities and patterns but also encounter a lot of unique character especially in some areas.
Spanish and portuguese people might be able to understand a little of each other like tamil and malayalam speakers and so on.
