They could put an LED in the bezel, like the camera indicator.

That works great on a laptop. Less so on a Mac Studio, using non-Apple displays.

This shouldn't be downvoted. Transducers being reversible is a neat and non-obvious thing.

It's probably downvoted because it sounds somewhat nonorganic.

Even with the em-dash. New account and other comments seem to be here-and-there. Maybe LLM with some editing after.

Motors can be dynamos too

and many LEDs are weak photo-diodes, i.e. you get weak current when you shine a light to them.

It's pretty obvious if you did high school physics. I experimented with earphones as microphones as a teenager but couldn't get any meaningful audio data.

I think they're being downvoted because their comments all seem to have AI features.

Ours are along the river, that's nice too.

This isn't interesting.

Does it imply there is a cultural difference that would make this style more lucrative in Japan than other places? Does it suggest compositionally the alignment of asymmetric shapes in a regular form is more satisfying than a regular arrangement of identical forms? Does it imply that given an array of nearly identical choices it's important to add some noise visually to distinguish?

I'm a cynical person by nature but I'm seriously not understanding what makes this interesting.

We might as well discuss the effectiveness of simulated grime in the most recent Clorox advertising campaign?

The 192 other comments from interested people seem like pretty strong counter-evidence to your claim.

You've also listed a few questions that seem pretty interesting to me, from a curiosity perspective.

It's simply a matter of market psychology. Some find that interesting, others may not. Culture is a factor in psychology, so yeah, that too.

It doesn't fit the requirement to modify the list in place, but the prompt itself contradicts the requirements by asking explicitly for the implementation to use *args and a list comprehension.

Ahh I didn't see the full original prompt -- it's overflowing into a horz scroll for me. I thought it was the "critique loop" that injected the *args requirement. I guess garbage in, garbage out. Still unfortunate example to use.

The classification is pretty weird sometimes, too. For example the `/exit` slash command is filed under advanced and experimental commands...

I'm ready to reorganize, there are a lot of really good ideas here! Most of all I had a similar trajectory of starting with small component drawers and now it's a real pain to find appropriate places for everything. I didn't think to try larger boxes! Makes a lot of sense. I'm curious to try some variation of the dot system too, but I think I appreciated the somewhat mundane in-between details about your setup the most.

(I would have appreciated less AI-assistance in the prose though FWIW, I'm sorry if that's annoying to say!)

+1, the information content is nice, but the AI telltales and writing patterns were annoyingly distracting.

thats fair, I appreciate your feedback very much! Initially, I typed out easily two or three times as much text as what made it into the final post, and had to trim and summarize what I wrote down to size. I totally hear what you are saying about generic structure and prose.

I understand -- still, FWIW, I would have enjoyed reading (and maybe partly skimming in sections) the longer version, warts and all. A lot of what I enjoyed most about the article were the in-between details, the LLM-assisted sections felt a bit like fluff in comparison, even though I could squint and imagine the input somewhat?

The "download browser" link led to an AOL_Netscape.exe -- I guess it's this Chromium-based web browser mentioned on wikipedia but I don't feel like installing wine :)

> Netscape's browser development continued until December 2007, when AOL announced that the company would stop supporting it by early 2008.[11][12] Until 2025, AOL used the Netscape brand to market a discount Internet service provider, which itself provided a Chromium-based web browser called Netscape, developed by UK security firm SentryBay.

I wonder what the result would be sorted by volume.

My guess is diatoms. From the wiki: "[they] constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans."

Hey, a scene.org mirror! Does anyone know if this Opiate is Thomas Knak? This one sounds a lot like him:

Edit: fun, they have my old hippocamp album too :) http://128.237.157.9/pub/scene.org/music/groups/hippocamp/hc...

This is another Opiate, Huw Roberts, who was releasing on the (now defunct) Miasmah net label in the early 2000s, but is still running a label called Serein to this today! What a blast from the past... Nice tunes too
