so sometimes my computer is doing something while i have my hands full of cat, or otherwise busy and so using my webcam, make it so when I glare at it, it stops whatever the hell it's doing.
Dismiss any desktop notifications, or if there weren't any recent ones kill any app with a desktop or console window that started in the last 20 seconds.
i'd love it. of course, I'd have to turn it off while coding. I sideeye my code a lot.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Ah. I thought it was an app for getting rid of the dumber QA querists ...

I thought it was going to involve SkyNet... so roughly the same as you.

well, i mean, they do have an app for that - point and click even, but I find that users perform even more poorly at gunpoint.

You know, I think you could actually accomplish that with a little bit of OpenCV and no AI at all!
To avoid accidentally closing everything, you could use blink detection - so, for example, if you blink seven times in a row rapidly, your app will dismiss notifications and close any recently opened applications.
This could actually make for a fun weekend project! If you decide to try it, there's a great tutorial here that uses OpenCV and Dlib from Python: Eye blink detection with OpenCV, Python, and dlib - PyImageSearch[^]
If you don't like Python, there are good DLib and OpenCV wrappers for .NET. And since both libraries are written in C++, you could just use them directly from C++ as well.

haha cool. I'll take a look.
Ugh python. I'd love it except for significant whitespace.

Seems like a roundabout way of getting there. What you really need is an AI that writes that efficient LALR-parser for you!

Chris M. asked me politely not to give y'all any ideas about hooking AI up to code generation software.
It will put us all out of work. Well, not me, I only do this for fun anymore.

Well tried, but I am not falling for it.
Wait wait, do you have a sheep ? Is it tied up to a chair ? What's that welsh flag in the background ?
OMG, this is @OriginalGriff's house !

No matter how many times I go back to rewrite the thing, the LALR(1) parser I wrote falls down under the weight of its own contradictions as soon as I try to add error recovery and I have to go back and rewrite it again. I've lost count of how many times I've done this. At least three.

Maybe you need to find something else to work on other than parsers........
