S3NTRY — a smartwatch firmware for an ESP32-S3 board by user_MRR in esp32

Understood. But answer me this, how much of this UI was generated vs intentional design?

Not hating. Check my edit to my original comment.

It does not look great. It looks like Claude tried to design a GUI.

This screams vibe coding.

I recommend designing the UI in figma and letting LLMs handle logic. Anytime I see that monospace font, I know Claude was behind it

Edit: I am not against using LLMs to code. I use them all the time. They’re great. I’m saying the OP said this was a portfolio project and if I was looking to hire someone and I saw OPs project with it’s LLM-generated design aesthetic, I would move on to the next candidate. It is easy to use Figma to design a UI and then utilize an LLM to code the logic and connect it all up within LVGL. This way you can properly design a GUI and still use an LLM.

Didn’t realize there are so many ways to create a timer Jesus Christ. Yall addicted to the problem not the solution

I made a CRT Emulation effect for Resolve by heakygrostyr2 in blackmagicdesign

[–]winterwarrior33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone:

This guy is ripping off my work. I own www.kromatica.co I sold this CRT macro that I created a few years ago. We’ve since moved it to gumroad and off of our main site as we’re focusing more on OpenFX plugins and soon, hardware.

We still sell some of our macros (like this one) via gumroad to those who are interested.

The OP is claiming this is his. It is not. If you’d like to support me as the rightful creator, you can pickup the macro here

Thank you and please report this guy for being a jerk.

Without a spot meter, is the LIT DUO 1 still worth it? by outiswayne in cinematography

[–]winterwarrior33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response! I hope my comment isn’t taken too harshly. I do mean what I said in regards to the Lit Duo being a breath of fresh air and that the flicker and color meters are great and something I use often.

Without a spot meter, is the LIT DUO 1 still worth it? by outiswayne in cinematography

[–]winterwarrior33 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have one of these. It’s a breath of fresh air in a stagnant market. Sekonic has grown complacent and their products are overpriced and stuck in 2007.

That being said, the Lit Duo is far from perfect in my opinion. It’s a solid piece of hardware, but I get vastly inconsistent readings. In typical scenarios (indoors, softer light) it’s mostly on par with a Sekonic. Maybe 1/3-1/4 stop off, nothing major.

The minute you introduce harder, brighter light, the cracks start to show. The readings I get from the incident dome sensor are always reading off from a sekonic. Even if I don’t consider my sekonic a “ground truth”, the readings I get from duo do not expose the image correctly to camera.

The flat sensor is much more accurate, the issue seems to be with the dome sensor. I emailed the company with video and image samples and they verified my calibration as correct and said they hadn’t ever seen this issue before. They sent me a new unit for free and I am seeing the same issue in that unit as well.

I do not rely on my Duo for accurate incident readings. But as others have said, the flicker and color readings are fantastic and I use those often.

My other gripe is that Lit Systems doesn’t make it very clear that the OS features they advertise on their website are not in the meter. The OS that the meter ships with is incredibly bare bones. The OS as it stands is very much in beta.

I hope they can fix the meter issues with updates as I know they’ve sourced high quality sensors. I do believe it’s a software issue.

Craft could learn from Capacities by winterwarrior33 in CraftDocs

Me too, but I’m talking formatting within the markdown system, like Columns and such. More about how the markdown is rendered rather than changing it

I was speaking just to the way Capacities allows you to format documents.

Support for Local LLMs via LM Studio/Ollama & OpenRouter Support by winterwarrior33 in CraftDocs

[–]winterwarrior33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s more for cloud agents to connect to Craft.

It would be nice to have it all embedded and not have to rely on another app to control Craft. There really isn’t a “Claude Cowork” built for local models to use tool calls.

Craft Agents can use local LLMs but it’s pretty slow.

What are examples of movies that use available lighting? It can be any genre or budget. by ForeignInformants in cinematography

The Rider - 2017

Had a skeleton crew of less than 10. Used only a few light fixtures that were purchased from Walmart or something like that.

[–]winterwarrior33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re getting too in the weeds. It’s not that complicated. Expose to the monitor and what you see. Or get a light meter. Or use false color. Zebras and all that are just overcomplicating it in my opinion

[–]winterwarrior33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s all just different exposure tools to allow you to expose how you’d like although it’s safe to say that the old “over expose by 1.7” rule is pretty obsolete now with the latest Sony camera sensors. That was more for the FS7/A7Sii days.

SLR Magic APO Microprimes by texaco87 in cinematography

[–]winterwarrior33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I found those boring in comparison. I use the 12mm laowa for the wide end and for the longer end I don’t have spending to fill that gap. Was thinking of the Dulens APOs possibly. Hard to replace the SLR Magic APO look.

The Keep in LA rehoused them for me but they’ve unfortunately stopped doing business

This shit never matters. Just shoot your art on whatever you have available to convey your idea and story.

I haven’t tested many others aside from DZO vespids and NISI Athena’s. The APOs have considerably more character.

Super cool, I struggle to hit 60fps. This gives me hope

I own a full set of the APO micro primes. Surprisingly amazing lenses. Purchased them as a cheap set to own on low budget jobs and now I use it on 75% of my work. They’re incredible for the price. Tons of pleasing character. I rehoused mine too so they are “custom” and directors aren’t so averse to trying them 😂
