Confidence in the OR is built, not accidental. New ORNAC Journal research calls game-based learning "a valuable and increasingly popular education strategy in perioperative nursing education." Read the full summary: hubs.la/Q04tWRsf0

Just ordered mine. So excited for Steam Frame and this camera combined! Free cancellation up to Sept 20th, so you'll know your lottery result by then. But, honestly, getting this camera no matter what here! Because I'll get Steam Frame no matter what..  😎
Introducing (officially, this time) Arcturus Vision Camera. Add HDR 5K color passthrough to Steam Frame, and more. Ships this week. Initial supply limited. arcturus.vision/

Skip US tech. Canada built the better version. 🇨🇦 OpenAI → Cohere Pinecone → Turbopuffer Wispr Flow → Superwhisper Ramp → Float Robinhood → Wealthsimple Amazon → Shopify LastPass → 1Password Zendesk → Ada QuickBooks → FreshBooks DoorDash → SkipTheDishes We have world-class tech at home. We just don't market it well enough. What swap would you add? 🇨🇦

Good grief, ChatGPT 5.6 Sol Instant, can make me laugh so hard. Give my pi to the last digit. > There isn’t a “last digit” of π. Give my digit to the last pi. > Now we’re entering full-on Star Trek logic paradox territory. We need more whip cream!

Hey @googlecloud , would love to self serve removing mystery "My First Project" projects, but seems there's no way to do that. And I can't reach out to anyone about your buggy management interfaces that are breaking down all over the place. This is sooooo bad. 🤬

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Shapefile and 3D model import support on Google Earth. Plus, we’ve also added elevation profiles to the measure tool just for… good measure! goo.gle/4w1MPC0 You’ve made it clear. You want to be able to bring more of your data and models to Google Earth’s real-world canvas. We're excited to take the next step in delivering on that promise with these new features: 🔶 Shapefiles (SHP): Render industry-standard geospatial data as performant, cloud-native layers. 💡 3D Models (GLB): Place custom architectural mock-ups, massings, and more in a visually rich context. 🗻 Elevation Profiles: View detailed terrain data in the measure tool you already know and love. These new features are live now on Google Earth!

Heads up: there are some changes coming to LichtFeld Studio. LichtFeld is growing quite a lot, but contributions are not. In fact, besides the two corporate contributors and one bronze sponsor, there is less than $100 on average contributed per month. There were 10,000 downloads in the last 30 days, and nobody contributed anything financially back to the project. Not a single dollar. I cannot support my living on that basis. Given the amount of work I am putting into this project, and it is a lot, often easily 60 hours a week, to provide a state-of-the-art, self-contained 3D reconstruction suite that is used by businesses around the world, this situation is no longer sustainable. The idea was to grow it together, but at the moment it is mainly being used without enough support in return. If every user had contributed only $10, the continuation of the project would have been secured. I have asked for that quite often. I like sharing my knowledge, but I cannot sustain it under these circumstances. Going forward, there will not be any free binaries provided anymore. I created a portal at portal.lichtfeld.io which will give access to daily binaries after registration and donation. This will hopefully help finance the development and maybe even allow me to pay someone in addition. If you cannot afford it, you can still put in the work and build it from source. There are no restrictions. I am aware that people like to work around something like this, and they certainly will. But in the end, that simply means that my work on this project will be discontinued at some point. Btw, after payment an invoice will be automatically issued!
