This seems to be a wrapper around LangAgents that can be linked to iMessage. I would not say the agents "live in iMessage," rather that they interface through iMesssage.

You can find a bit more on what's (likely) behind this in the github repo: https://github.com/photon-hq/flux

(NB: the deployed version may not be exactly the same as the code in the repo)

A common trick (also often needed when using non-gel ballpoints) is to add some extra weight to the pen (for example, put a small glass jar/cup upside down over the pen, or use some large machine nuts).

Beware that this is harder on the servo lifting the pen, so you may want to order a few extra of those (also at TaoBao/AliExpress). I've switched from the cheap SG90 servos that are often used to the only slightly more expensive MG90S with all metal gears that seem to do better.

Thomas DeMarse is mentioned in some of the 2004 news articles. His Google Scholar profile has the following short paper published at a conference in 2005: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Thom...

For the interested, there is a PDF: https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/book.pdf

@aireo, one often heard advise to hone those technical writing skills is to start a technical blog where you document what you have learned/investigated. If you use GitHub pages (free) to host the blog, you’ll learn some git and static site generation based on markdown as well.

Viewing this blog as your own “external memory” or a place where you document your journey can help to overcome some of the factors that may be blocking when aiming to write for a general (developer) audience.

“Reader View” solves the horrible font choice...

While I agree that the results of publicly funded research should be available as open access, IEEE does not (yet) provide authors universally with that option. However, a quick Google Scholar search would have led you to online copies [1]

^^ this!

Don’t overthink, go and enjoy.

(trips in bear country take a bit of additional preparation, but also that can be done w/o too much hassle, lots of info online)

I’m totally stunned you would not even consider for a minute the ~10% of people who are colorblind (not part of that group, but always aware while creating visualizations as a scientific writer)
