I got taken back to Club Penguin as well. Especially clicking into the cave or treehouse and getting transported into a little side pocket of the map. Amazing work!

Thanks! Basecamp's and Github's were a few of the open source ones I came across

I know this is mostly parody, but I'm curious if anyone has good starter templates for something that covers the general stuff and doesn't require a lawyer to customize

It's possible, but then wouldn't retailers who don't force their customers to crawl through an LLM maze eat their lunch? Natural economics at play would still happen I think

Amazing stuff, have you written up a blog post? I could see a video being a fun format for this as well. Might help people develop the intuition for watts/power consumption in a different way

This led me down a bit of a rabbit hole but, yikes

I personally haven't noticed that. I am also primarily coding & writing rather than image editing or such so am less sensitive to things like that fwiw.

Appreciate the suggestion!

Appreciate the feedback and notes here- I would love to revisit the methodology and use a separate physical brightness meter to normalize for that. To my best memory I made sure both devices were at max stock brightness for each photo.

Not to my knowledge, I think Samsung was one of their manufacturers for a while, but they do have patents on nano texture which differs somewhat apparently from traditional matte screens. I'd love to understand more of the differences and more about their manufacturing process though.

Yes, the HDR boost is awesome as well, combined with nano texture it feels like overkill, but I love it.

Author here, I published this a few months back but have been continuing to use it on a daily basis - everything I wrote stands

Feel free to ask any other questions!

Makes sense. If you enable the Debug menu (Shift+CMD+D), there is an option for "Always-On Microphone". Might be worth a try to remove that latency.

I'll also add in getting a standalone sensor (I went with Aranet) gave me insights into this was well, as a non smart watch wearer

Curious if you were using AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones for this?

If so, there should be "keep microphone on" or similar setting in the config that may help with this, alternatively, I set my microphone to my MacBook mic so that my headphones aren't involved at all and there is much less latency on activation

Relatedly, has anyone seen tooling or approaches to calculate shadows behind particular hills and mountains, depending on the season and time of day? The sunset calculation for Boulder Colorado is quite inaccurate as we are in the foothills with mountains to the west. I've been pondering how to calculate this precisely.
