  • How are they unrepairable yourself? Are there not people online selling boards for them? Most of the time all you have to do is replace the power board or image board or one of the others if a TV dies. $100 and you gotta new TV. Is that not a thing for Vizio TVs?

  • It's amazing. It has Curves, Clone Stamp, arbitrary rotation, image overlay, text overlay, drawing tools... and on and on. You can sort the buttons at the bottom to have your most used tools on the left. There's a menu that does it: Use the three-bar menu in that row which opens all of the tools buttons for easy access in a single window, and at the bottom is a sort icon that lets you drag them up and down in a list.

  • Yes, you can "pin" a folder. Long press a folder then check the 3-dot menu.

    Sadly, I don't know of a way to show multiple thumbnails for a folder.

    I did recently discover the icon in the search bar that looks like a stack of image. It makes it show all photos by date, regardless of folder. Very handy. When combined with changing the column count in the menu (Or doing a pinch-to-zoom out, which can be a little laggy) you can see a ton of recent photos as once.

  • Fossify Gallery is the new fork of Simple Gallery after the latter was bought by a marketing company. It's on F-Droid and Droid-ify. https://www.f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/

    It's very customizable, and does everything you mentioned. Except that Google Photos can share a photo through the cloud. Fossify just has the normal Android share mechanism to send the photo to your email app, text app, etc.

    The built-in basic editor is very basic. Instead, I use "Photo Editor" from dev.macguyver. It's practically Photoshop, but doing basic edits are pretty easy. I paid for the ad-free version, and it's totally worth it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor

  • You make a simple app and the company pays you small fee every time a scan results in a purchase. You also sell users' data because you obviously track all of that. Now companies selling accessibility products can target the customer with ads. Success!

    It's easier than applying for grants, and no one seems to mind this kind of economy. It's just a win/win. That is, it actually helps the visually impaired, and no one seems to care about being tracked or installing an app. "So what's the problem?" /s?

    It could have just been a QR code that links to a web page, but then who's going to pay for it? Back to begging for grant money. I work with a non-profit. Applying for grants is a full time job. ¯(ツ)

  • Oh, this whole thing is source code? Great. Why would you think everyone here would immediately want all the source code? This is a very specialized thing from a very specialized subreddit, and not appropriate for Technology. If you don't know how to post properly formatted source code on Lemmy, you shouldn't be posting it at all.

    Scrap this entire post and replace it with just a summary of the findings and a link to the original reddit post for people who want the source code.

    While you're at it, learn what Markdown is and how it affects the appearance of text on both Lemmy and Reddit so you don't make this giant font mistake again. If you had used a plugin like RES to view the source of the original reddit post, you could have copied that and it would look identical over here. But like I said, no one wants all the source code to this very narrow mathematical problem, and if they do, they can go to the original post.

  • It's because you copied and pasted all of the # characters from the original post. I don't know why they were there in the first place, but you need to remove them all. Oh, this entire post is source code! smh

    Copy your post text into a text editor and and Find/Replace all the number signs the paste the result pack into your post. Better yet, just delete this post.

    How headings work in Markdown:

    Starting a line of text with a number sign indicates a heading, with a single number sign being the largest heading.

    One number sign

    Two number signs

    Three number signs

    Four number signs

    Five number signs
    Six number signs

    ####### Seven number signs is too many and you just get a sixth level heading with a visible number sign.

    Source for the above:

     
            # One number sign
    
        ## Two number signs
    
        ### Three number signs
    
        #### Four number signs
    
        ##### Five number signs
    
        ###### Six number signs

  • AI is shorthand for a neural network algorithm that learns to accomplish a task through training instead of being told (very explicitly) how to do it by a human. There's no point in arguing about how people use language. It's completely arbitrary. You better get used to people calling neural network programs AI because it's not going away.

    What this AI did was simply to learn the rules... the game has the solution drawn on it... The point of the game is to follow, not to find, the path.

    You have a very deep misunderstanding of the complexity of this feat and so I'm not surprised you don't think its impressive. Just follow the path... So easy! -_-

    At the start of this task, the AI knew almost nothing. All it knew is it had "hands", and it had a directive to get the ball to the end.

    It didn't know any of the following:

    • what a ball is and that it rolls
    • the fact that lines on the board indicate a safe path
    • what gravity is and why the ball moves when the knobs are turned
    • that turning the knob farther makes the ball go faster, to a point
    • that the dark spots on the board (holes) make the ball drop and make you have to start over
    • that the thick lines are walls
    • that walls block the ball!

    You see what I'm getting at here? It understood nothing! Sure, you can explain the rules to a human and they'd be able to start learning how to play, but the real learning is learning the hand eye coordination to get the ball to do anything you want.

    Even the concept of "explain the rules" is not simple. Sure it's simple for a brain that evolved over millions of years and uses natural language. But explaining rules to a computer means programming it. You have to hard code all of the rules of the game, and in this case, all of the physics of the game. You have to write the code that explains all of that to a traditional computer before it can even start attempting to play this game.

    This AI needed none of that. It learned everything on the fly!

    A human could... probably solve the game in way less than 6 hours

    Ha! It's clear you've never played this game. Even if you could get your first win in 6 hours, you wouldn't then be able to repeat the win every time thereafter.

    This AI solving the game in 6 hours is literally the equivalent of one year old baby learning to play and finishing the maze in 6 hours! That is jaw-droppingly amazing, like the author says!

    How are you not impressed?

    (All analogies are bad. The baby would never have the attention span or motivation to actually play the game. That's the one inherent advantage the program has. It does what it's told. Plus the AI has perfect motor control right out of the box. It doesn't know that it's spinning motors, but it's control of them is perfect, and a baby is still learning how to make their muscles do anything at all.)
