Some lidar units simply use the wavelength that the human eye is opaque to.
The grandparent comment is about camera lenses with little to no near infrared cutoff filter. Some older iPhones were like that and that was the original breaking story.
Absolutely, and is a major cause of cataracts. Somewhat near 100% of people with lenses in their eyes will get cataracts eventually if they are ever exposed to unfiltered sunlight.
I remember those old cellphones with weak IR filters. It was a scandal because light clothing turns out to be more transparent to IR than to visible light so they were acting as a sort of clothing "X-Ray" in bright light. Creepers on the Internet tried to start a whole new genre of porn but were shut down in a hurry by cellphone manufacturers adding robust IR filters on the next generation of smartphones.
Shame that perverts had to ruin that for us, it was kinda neat to point a TV remote as the camera and see the bulb light up.
It's funny how big of an impact individual developers can have with such seemingly simple publications. At the time of the article with that diagram release, I was changing jobs and I distinctly remember, that the diagram was extensively discussed and compared to company standards, at both the old and the new place.
The first time I heard of how many neurons the gut has, I went: "well obviously, there's a lot of receptors and muscles to support peristaltic movement; plus probably some start to end connection for proper synchronization and total volume management - it just has to be processed somehow and locally (in the gut, as opposed to the far brain) seems like an obviously good choice".
Never tried to verify that with state of the art though
OpenCode works nicely, I wish it web mode would be developed more. Currently, as it stands, you have to work on the same host in order to pass the full OAuth login flow (it redirects to localhost) for subscription based providers (Claude, ChatGPT). I wish it used some BASE_URL variable I could set, so it would be used instead.
Oh, wow. I was debugging the same in copilot (the only "work approved" agent) in Intellij, which showed that copilot didn't return commands output at all. I wrote a comment under relevant issue, if you're curious.
I think there are quite a few bugs lingering in those agent-cli's and observability, would help a lot with reporting.
Taking yours for a spin this evening, thank you!
