I've always wanted a phone keyboard that folds yet still types reasonably well. Tried a few, hated them all.

The MS Universal Foldable KB is the best I tried. Indestructible and still quite easy to get.

A sufficiently detailed spec was actually a small step in the path to functional code.

Then came all sorts of shenanigans, from memory management to syntax hell, which took forever to learn effectively.

This stage was a major barrier to entry, and it's now gone — so yeah, things have indeed changed completely.

He once punched Gabriel García Márquez. I remember learning about this while reading Vargas Llosa as an adolescent, still sounds hard to believe: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/03/06/when-mario-va...

After decades using rsync for my local backups, I recently switched to ChronoSync Express. It's simple to use, with a sensible GUI and well-laid-out customization options.

And btw, it's included on Setapp subscriptions.

Fun! I'd love the option to increase (double?) range. It would sacrifice precision somewhat, so a toggle would be ideal.

A toggle for quickly visualizing notes would also be useful, as well as keyboard shortcuts — perhaps while one clicks the mouse on a given note, pressing the keyboard shortcut for another specific note gradually moves pitch in that direction, with programmable speed.


Oh, and clicking multiple times at the leftmost portion of the instrument (around 1/4th from the top) sounds exactly like Laurie Anderson's classic "O Superman" :)


Highly recommend the documentary on General Magic. They were actually trying to build the iPhone as early as 1989 (and into the 90s). My former boss Meghan Smith was part of that team, she loved it — and so many Silicon Valley companies came out of that project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTdyb-RWNKo


Does anyone know of a method for plugging the output of models like this one with traditional video editing software like Adobe Premiere?


A thing that "always works" is outputing the transparancy as a grayscale (black=transparent, white=opaque) alpha video. You can combine these in an after effects composition which you can load directly into Premiere: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/compositing-alpha...

The output of that tool also looks suspiciously like a so-called cryptomatte which many 3D tools use to store masks for each of the objects/materials/etc, Blender can read and write those — although I am not sure whether this tools supports outputing those.


Exactly this! I experimented with a depth estimation model. An image was added as an input, the output was a depth map in grayscale, which I later used in Photoshop as a mask for Lens-blur simulation.


Final Cut Pro 11 now has a “Magnetic Mask” tool which performs well. I don’t know if this uses the same sort of models, but is functionally what you’re looking for.
