Only issue with home row key combos is the letter comes out delayed since it’s now waiting for keyup event to register single press vs keydown for a combo. You don’t notice that with caps lock remapping because caps lock doesn’t output anything.

Ask me how I know :)


Oh that's a good point! I forgot I actually tried it with jj or kj combos in VIM to exit insert mode and it was a bit annoying. That is before I found a way to re-map CapsLock to a dual duty key on Windows (I am using WSL2 but remaps go through Windows).


I do this cross-OS with Kanata, since I don't have a keyboard with QMK.


This is definitely a fair point with home row mods, which I left out on the blog. ZMK has has had the best configs to manage the timings for me. It requires some tweaking based your typing speed.


That’s more due to mono being the dominant format at the time so the majority of time and money went to working on the mono mix. The stereo one was often an afterthought until stereo became more widespread and demand for good stereo mixes increased.

Since you’re porting the 808’s sounds/panel I understand the order you have matches it. I also agree it should be reversed if only because the kick/snare are lower frequency sounds and the hats are higher frequency and that would map better to reversing the direction that is currently on the site.

Love this btw, it will be fun to noodle on this when I’m away from the studio


Chiming in to say I downloaded this what feels like ages ago and occasionally come back to it when I’m away from my keyboard for too long, so thank you for this amazing app!


Love to hear it. Thanks for the years of usage!


Very neat explanation of solving these kinds of unique challenges, especially given how similar the illustrations were.

One question I had was, knowing how difficult it was to train the model with the base images, and given that the client didn’t have time to photograph them, did you consider flying someone out to the museum for a couple of days to photograph each illustration from several angles with the actual lighting throughout the day? Or potentially hiring a photographer near the museum to do that? It seems like a round trip ticket plus a couple nights in a hotel could have saved a lot of headache, providing more images to turn into synthetic training data. Even if you still had to resort to using 4o as a tiebreaker, it could be that you only present two candidates as the third might have a much lower similarity score to the second candidate. Good write up either way.


Assuming it’s on a computer (big assumption for kids) you can install this[0] extension and customize it to do things like remove shorts from appearing, disable autoplay, hide recommended videos, etc. it’s a good way to not let YouTube pull your focus away from you.

California at least is 15 days/year the first year, 20 to year 5, then 25/year after


15 days a year is awful!

Here in the UK for a full time employee the minimum by law, regardless of how long you've worked at a place, is 28 days. For all full time employees.

I think I'm on 32 now, and sick leave doesn't come out the holiday allowance, that's absurd!


Yep. The PTO policies of US companies are just terrible. Often even the ones with "unlimited" PTO have defacto limits that just happen to work out to typical US PTO policies. (What a coincidence!)


I’ll add that specially when it comes to playing go, professionals who are at the peak of their ability can often find the best move at a given point but be unable to explain why beyond “it feels right” or “it looks right”.
