Archive tech advice, please! How can I improve my captures of prints in plastic sleeves? My previous tries, like below, with iPhone and my meh digital camera, aren't getting all the detail when I zoom in and often have distracting glare from nearly unavoidable overhead lights.

The illustrator I had is too busy to engage in the 35 UI illustrations needed to complete the book.
If you are or know of an illustrator that has time to deliver UI illustrations soon please let me know!

Remember the ".1/1/10 seconds" guidelines from Nielsen's "Usability Engineering"? Well, researchers found that after 4 seconds of waiting for LLMs to reply in VR chat, user experience degrades, even with mitigations: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Couldn't have said it better. Might as well get an AI to exercise or play soccer for me
I'm not willing to pay any money for personal projects. If I'm doing it on my own time, it's because I want to do that thing (write, make videos, etc.). I'm fine using AI for free to help, but I can't make a case for spending money to be "more efficient" at having fun. Why do it then?

This, I think, may end up being an underrated factor. The Trump voters I know - and I do know a few - all voted the way they did assuming Trump II would be a rerun of Trump I, which they understood as 'some bad tweets, but mostly normal GOP policy,' minus the early 'new at this' growing pains.
I do actually think the electorate will respond to the behavior of the Trump administration, presuming the same trends at 2024 or 2020 is very silly because this is a very different government! Extremely different than even Trump I

Currently writing a chapter about a 1920s Italian forger whose fake Renaissance and Greek sculptures ended up in museums across America and who was eventually arrested - not for forgery but for saying that Mussolini should eat sh*t and die. This book is going to be 🔥

Also, it's really weird how this conversation always revolves around "Making farm jobs good enough for Americans."
Farm jobs should be good jobs no matter who's doing them.
Even a lot of self-described progressives seem to have a hard time getting that!
