Attention Is All You Need

Abstract

The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks that include an encoder and a decoder. The best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention mechanism.

We propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely. Experiments on two machine translation tasks show these models to be superior in quality while being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less time to train.

On the WMT 2014 English-to-German translation task, our model achieves 28.4 BLEU, improving over the existing best results, including ensembles, by over 2 BLEU.

How it works

Lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no clutter.

Hold ⌥ Option. A laser dot follows your cursor with a smooth trail.

Release to dismiss. Or double-tap to lock it on.

Two modes, one key

Laser for highlighting. Signing Pen for annotating — hold the trigger and drag to draw. Click the iPointer icon up there to switch modes, same as the real app.

Also nice

Lock mode

Double-tap the trigger to keep the pointer active hands-free. Double-tap again to dismiss.

Scroll to zoom

Scroll while the pointer is active to freeze and magnify the area under your cursor. Annotate at 5× zoom.

Multi-display

Every screen gets its own overlay. The trail doesn't flicker or teleport when you cross monitors.

Customizable

Pick the trigger key, color, trail length, and glow. Persisted per-user.

Install

$ brew install --cask cailurus/ipointer/ipointer

Requires macOS 13.0 or later. Already installed? brew upgrade --cask ipointer.

First-launch note for DMG users

Installing via brew skips this entirely — the cask strips the quarantine attribute automatically. If you downloaded the DMG directly, macOS Gatekeeper may block the first launch because the app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. Open Terminal and run once:

$ xattr -cr /Applications/iPointer.app

Then double-click iPointer to launch normally.
