The Ghost Camera is a gripping sci-fi thriller in which a British hi-tech start-up accidentally discovers an alternative use for one of their inventions – by creating a tiny, momentary black hole in a lab, they can capture images that defy all attempts to explain them.
Morris is a laboratory janitor in Oxford and is perfectly happy with his lot.
When Morris accepts company stock as overtime pay, he never expects to be caught in the middle of an extraordinary discovery – a camera that captures images from through time, not space.
Told through Morris’s own observations, but also through clippings from newspapers, tech magazines and websites from all over the world –
The Ghost Camera offers a Black Mirror-style parable about where technology might lead us.

Reminder that if you get jemalloc errors on software running on Asahi, that's because the jemalloc maintainers refuse to make jemalloc builds portable to all ARM64 systems by default.
Some downstream projects also refuse to override the default for their builds when the issue is raised with them, like Telegram Desktop.
Unfortunately, choices like these are sabotaging the ARM64 Linux ecosystem by explicitly making binaries non-portable, and if people don't listen to our feedback, there is very little we can do to help. These "build for the host page size" approaches are as non-portable as -march=native, but people seem to think it's okay when you're breaking ARM64 systems and not x86_64 systems for some reason.
Compiled-in page size makes jemalloc binaries unportable · Issue #467 · jemalloc/jemalloc
I see that configure uses sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) at compile time to determine the page size. However, this can vary depending on kernel configuration, so a jemalloc compiled on one machine may have ...GitHub
While LLM output looks promising and true, there is always something wrong — and you won't find it unless you have experience in the subject area.
For carthography AI is especially bad, because nobody writes proper documentation, so there is nothing to train on.
Here are three examples of Ian's LLM photo-to-tags bridge integrated into Every Door. While opening hours detection works great, everything else... Can you spot what's wrong in each tag list?
How do I know who and when edited a place? On the editor pane header there is a clock button, which shows the object history, highlighting tag changes. Go back in time and see how OSM grew!
Thanks to George Honeywood for submitting a pull request adding that panel.
In the past couple weeks, I'm increasingly looking towards @MapComplete : its thematic editing and linear geometry tools would be very helpful when I finally get myself to survey speed limits in my area.
Every Door can do much, but not all. That's why many mappers have multiple apps on their phones: StreetComplete, Organic Maps, OsmAnd, Vespucci, Go Map... And MapComplete in a browser tab.

Scientists taught rats to drive cars. The rats quickly learned to rev the engine and take longer routes just for fun.
Bonus: Watch the researcher do a little happy leap when the rat gets into the car.

For a few weeks now, I type “foucus” instead of “focus” and as “focus” is a word you type often in accessibility, typing “foucus” really does not help me staying foucused/focused on the task. It’s like I try to focus but I only have fauxus.
