General question for computer vision people:

Is it theoretically possible or even reasonable to imagine phones or devices being able to lip read?

Horrifying security implications aside, wondering if something like apples Face ID infrared scanning or whatever could accurately enough lip read for something like silently dictating text.

The actors strike has concluded as SAG-AFTRA has reached a deal with employers. Also, Meta seems to be intentionally preying on minors, an airplane had less windows that most would prefer, a robo-taxi company recalled their whole fleet, and a docked ship left its mark.

I was recently diagnosed with combined ADHD and I still can’t get over the fact that this all isn’t normal for people.

Like I genuinely did not even consider that I could have ADHD until a year or two ago. I only got my formal evaluation done because I was essentially in disbelief; a voice in my head saying I was just making up excuses for my shortcomings.

It’s just wild how long I went not knowing.

Hi, I'm stuck waiting on laundry to finish and am bored, so why don't I come on here and write some hot takes about YouTube?

I mean, I can think of several reasons, but too bad I'll do it anyway.

Knowing the leanings of the folks on this particular platform this is likely to spark some debate, but note that I'm not trying to paint YouTube as a saint - in fact, the first thing I want to talk about is a strategy they've taken which puts me and all YT creators in a weird place:

Also apple: The watch will only attempt to install software updates when on a charger at night, and will otherwise inform you about how it failed to install because your dumb ass wore the watch overnight

Oh, hey, Astral.Camp is just over a year old now.

I've been on Fedi since 2017 and have hopped around between servers. Did some large, some smaller, self hosted for a while.

This has been the happiest I've been on the fediverse so far, and it's been a joy to grow this community.

Thank you to everyone on Astral.Camp for being so very super great. Here's to many more years.
