ugh every time i see a picture of one of those retro handhelds or an odin i spend an hour watching videos about it before coming to the conclusion that i would probably never actually use it

I like 90%ish layouts but most of them have a small 0 on the numpad and I know that will mess with my muscle memory some do have fullsize, but the amount of options is much less fortunately I think I fixed the problem with my tab 90m so I can probably stop shopping for now!

if I had spare time and money I'd map out the response curves from several actual film stocks and build tonemappers out of them. sounds fun.

Lee Scheinbeim @lee.scheinbe.im · 28/09/2026
alright so fundamentally the problem I have with agx is all the written material about it is about cognitive processing etc but that's not really the problem tonemapping is solving tonemapping is more like film or a sensor. and every film stock etc has its own character. there is no neutrality

none of them are the right layout and none of them have cherry clears

right now im using 1440p with dlss balanced and then upscaling that to 4k for output... with my tv distance/size this is only a minor softening maybe i'll try just 1080p with integer scaling later...

trying to figure out what to do with a ryzen 3700x that's been in a plastic container for like 2 years now 1) sell it for a small amount, but selling things is really annoying 2) build a small pc to do nothing (i have extra ddr4) 3) continue to stare at it for another 2 years

honestly i think the main lesson is "dont just read the press release, even if it is from the university where the research was done"

Lee Scheinbeim @lee.scheinbe.im · 23/09/2026
saw a lot of ppl share things along the lines of "we have two brains, this explains so much!" and a lot less people share things along the lines of "we have one brain and cells originate in different ways" arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Contrary to some reports, you don't have two brains
A bad press release makes a good excuse to look at how developmental biology works.

Big win for Seattle consumers 🛒 Today we passed Fair Pricing legislation, banning companies from using your personal data to charge you more than the person next to you. Same product, same store, same price — no matter who’s pushing the cart.
Photo of a bag of groceries with the text “Seattle Becomes First City to Ban Algorithmic Price Fixing”"Food is an essential good that's getting more expensive all the time," said Mayor Katie Wilson.
"People have been clear: they don't want their data fed into algorithms that decide how much they pay at the grocery store.
Everyone deserves transparent pricing and equal treatment, not hidden systems that charge some shoppers more than others.”

I won’t lie, it’s a bit overwhelming to see the work hyperbolized by many press outlets, including the university. We did not discover a new organ, or that you have two consciousnesses, etc! I’m excited for the general positive recognition, (especially the coverage from the Chronicle by Jack Lee)
sfchronicle.com
The brain is a single organ. But it may not start that way, study suggests
A Stanford-led study challenges the idea that the brain develops from one common pool of early cells — and could help researchers model diseases such as ALS.

Lee Scheinbeim @lee.scheinbe.im · 22/09/2026
the fact that it was so hard to figure this out is because those two organs are so intertwined as to be inseparable. right?
010
Lee Scheinbeim @lee.scheinbe.im · 22/09/2026
my understanding is: there are some brain cells that have been very hard to culture. this is why, there are actually two different origin cells. but the connotation of "two organs" seems like its being applied to "it is two different systems that are interfacing" and i dont.... see that

Lee Scheinbeim @lee.scheinbe.im · 22/09/2026
i'm not an expert ofc but i'm not really onboard with a lot of the conclusions being reached by the "your brain is two organs" article? like, this is about how the cells are grown. there's nothing in the paper about how the brain actually functions, right?
