There is already an app from Nvidia that simulates constant eye contact with the camera


Fantastic, now my social anxiety will cripple me in video chats too.


I heard a rumor that Apple FaceTime does something similar, but I could not find any definitive evidence of it. Does anyone know more about it?


Apple ha it built in to iPhones now too. Center Stage is the name of the feature, but I think it is only available on FaceTime calls


That's not what Center Stage is.

Center Stage is a feature where a device uses an ultra-wide camera, and then is supposed to track your _face_ as you move and shift around it it's field of view.

I find it most useful for FaceTime calls on Apple TV, where you can leave your phone near the TV, and it will automatically frame you sitting on the couch and will follow you as you shift around, etc.

There is a similar feature to what you're describing for FaceTime, but I don't think it has any cutesy name.


You’re right, center stage is not the name of the feature. The feature does exist though, I believe it is called Eye Contact.

It’s really uncanny - it give you an intense, unblinking stare



From my experience, it does make it easier if you need to compare similar foods.

For example, I want to buy a yogurt with highest amount of protein. Serving sizes may vary between 150 and to 500gr. With standardized labels it is very easy task.

In my country we have calories listed for both 100g/container and nutrients are always listed for 100g and sometimes for full contaiber. I almost always use 100g part.


In the US, serving sizes are generally standardized per type of food, so two quart containers of yogurt will always have the same serving size in the nutrition facts.


4mm is not a low travel distance. Most cherry-like switches have around 4mm travel.


Oh, right you are!


I'm not sure I get the problem.

For number 5, I can use items of weights 3 1 1 1 1 and they are not equal. If you remove 3, you get 1+1=1+1 and in case you remove only of 1s, you can split 3 = 1+1+1.


Ah, problem is in memory. Probably also needs two piles of equal number of items :)


And this generalizes - if n = 2k + 1, 2k times x and once (2k - 1)x can be split into twice kx after removing the single (2k - 1)x or twice (2k - 1)x after removing one x. For k = 1, i.e. n = 3, (2k - 1)x = x. So there is an infinite family of counter examples for all odd n > 3.

It worked for me in the past (a few months ago). Today, however, I can't even receive an SMS to make a backup due to having a Ukrainian phone number.


And it's not just Ukraine. Major UK provider Vodaphone is also no longer working: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2022/12/16/twitters-dec...


Vodafone isn’t just in the UK, either. It’s the third-largest mobile network in the world.


Ugh, sorry to hear about the SMS problem.

One weird thing I noticed: Twitter wanted me to use an Email/SMS for two factor even though I have a registered TOTP token to log in to Twitter. I think that's been the case for awhile, not a new change, but still strange.


This is precisely how large, relatively well engineered services die if you leave them unattended for too long. The machine needs a little bit of oil every now and then and there are always new modes of failure found. Those then start to accrue to the point where they become user visible.



Note that on normal keyboard all alpha keys are staggered to the left. For both hands. So, this stagger is not helping you to keep your left hand at correct angle.

"Grid" ortholinear is not an ultimate solution either, but it is more comfy (from personal experience).

There is a short video about ortho vs stagger https://youtu.be/Ho_CFfdsmc8


That is strange now that you mention it, I have a split keyboard and it really should be staggered the other way on the left side but isn't. Also, I think the top row stagger is a bit too large but the bottom row stagger is way too much. I haven't tried the linear but my impression is that a slight stagger in the correct direction for each hand would be best, although linear seems likely to be close enough in about the same way that the top row stagger is close enough on the right hand.

One thing I like about my keyboard is that home, page up, page down, and end are on the left so that it is symmetrical. It also has a tenting feature that I like, having the keys tilted at an angle is perfect for me. Both of these also allow the mouse to be a bit closer. I also like that the space bars aren't as large, although I wish they were still a bit smaller.

I want to remap that useless print screen button near the arrows to a delete key, which I found from a previous keyboard is really handy to have near the arrow keys.


> slight stagger in the correct direction for each hand would be best

Thing is, if you have split keyboard with no stagger (grid) or vertical stagger, you can adjust halves of keyboard to suit your needs. This way you can make virtually any angle. Something like this https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/

> page up, page down, and end are on the left so that it is symmetrical

This is actually nice layout. I also see how can this be useful in gaming (few additional keys for pinkie).


It was on fire (in flames) about 10 minutes ago (according to local news).

I just hope for the best.

Says the NPP has some defenses from air attacks. So it may be war-proof after all.


I would be very surprised if it wasn't warproof. Soviets planned for it, they were preparing the entire population for it even in the satellite states.


One of the biggest nuclear power plants in Europe is under fire


The biggest one.


I wonder if Germany will reconsider their anti-nuclear power stance...
