I figure there may not be any off-the-shelf scripts that I can use. I tried vibe coding, but the part about getting the image recognition to work seemed non-trivial. Have you tried something like this before?

I want a gradescope-like UI for identifying the answer regions and for the app to compute scores of individual students + stats. The reason I can't use GS for my situation is that GS doesn't support confidence-based grading, which is what I am using for this exam.

How hard is it to create a bespoke gradescope-ish app for a particular pen and paper exam? My use-case is the following: I have a question paper that is all multi-select or short answer (fill in the blanks), and a bunch of scans from an exam that happened.

Clocked ten years at IITGN today :) Thinking of writing a retrospective of sorts, if you have any ideas for what you might find useful in such a reflection, let me know!

ICYMI: a new phase of GIAN funding has been announced. If you are an eligible faculty member in India, great opportunity to play host, and if you identify as a "foreign expert" who'd like to visit, ping your friends here!

Deadline: Sep 30. (1/2)

TIL that Pocket shut down :( Was my first read-it-later app. I haven't used it in ages, but still feel like I'll be missing it! I remember setting up IFTTT workflows to spam people when I tagged them on a pocket entry 😀

I am likely to be very off in my estimates of how long the chapters will take, but we'll figure it out as we go along :) Logistics: the readings will be coordinated via Circle (as an experiment) instead of WA groups. Please make sure to sign up at the links on the GAB site.

Recently vibecoded some slides in Manim via manim-slides:
slides.neeldhara.com/evc/

The whole experience was... interesting. It's not replacing my current default for now, but might find ways of integrating it in modular ways.

Slightly niche question: does anyone have Obsidian web clipper working on the Orion browser?

Now I can give you a more complete reply, @neeldhara.bsky.social. The chess book I was thinking of is Chess: The Complete Self-Tutor by Edward Lasker. Here is a sample of the interactive style.
A page from Edward Lasker's chess book.

The closest thing for me as a young person learning about computer science was ‘The Turing Omnibus’ with its bite-sized chapters and categories. My memory is chapters would tell you what was next so you could follow the automata or cryptography ‘paths’.
I only have the ‘new’ version.

Do you know of any examples of textbooks written in the style of interactive fiction?

TIL that Screenflow can’t import a MOV file generated by OBS studio :(

Anyone using the OBSBot Tiny 2 camera? Is it common for it to heat up and become laggy after about an 60-90 minutes of use? I don’t have AI tracking on and am using this on a Mac.

Aye no fair this was a one-one mapping from @sriku.org’s list…

On the follow up list I agree, but given that I don’t know what *I* am up to most of the time, this behaviour is on brand :D

Thanks for sharing this! Turned it into a playable interactive here: interactives.neeldhara.com/knights-puzzle

To be clear, I'm the first to admit I have a problem! Will clean up someday 🙈

I do get that when you use emacs you don't need anything else, but I think all those modes (?) should count as separate apps for a fair contest.
