A VNC viewer for eInk devices capable of 30 FPS when writing text

In plain words

This VNC viewer is designed for eInk devices and delivers 30 FPS performance when writing text. It enables users to view and interact with remote displays on e-paper screens, which typically have slow refresh rates. The tool is hosted on GitHub, making it accessible as an open-source project. It suits anyone who wants to use eInk devices like e-readers or digital notepads for remote desktop access or real-time text input applications.

  Benchmarking VLMs vs. Traditional OCR2025 · getomni.ai · ▲146

  Vision models have been gaining popularity as a replacement for traditional OCR. Especially with Gemini 2.0 becoming cost competitive with the cloud platforms.

  Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

  Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
