I asked it to identify a starfish I photographed at the weekend whilst scuba diving. It's a spiny starfish, off Cornwall. It said it was a 7 armed starfish. It clearly had 5. Disappointing. I wouldn't trust it for "real"

I was in France the other month and in Saumur next to the Loire River I had a drink at an outside area (a "bar" which was an old coach). The entire crowd was sitting chatting with each other, and I did not see a single phone out.

This seems to be the issue with using LLMs for any code generation. Even with my own code bases that I've written entirely by hand over years, if I use AI to implement anything, I don't go through the mental model of architecting

But how is it convenient to not pay attention to actually driving?? That doesn't sound like a convenience - that sounds dangerous

I have a 2016 Beetle and a 2014 Mini Countryman and neither have these stupid features, thankfully! Keeping them for as long as I possibly can! In fact, my Beetle doesn't properly support Android Auto so I can't ever plug my phone

But C++98 is so different to even C++11. Bjarne's book covering C++11 read completely differently to the 98 version, I found.

Very informative, thank you. I have been using Shotcut for a while and wrote a frei0r plugin but it needs migrating to the new 10 bit MLT framework. I have been using Shotcut with 4K footage and it is indeed very slow so I have been using p

What is slow about Shotcut? Genuinely curious

by 72deluxe 6mo ago
Shotcut also has 10 bit support, which is wonderful (even if the display in-program is NOT 10bit).

Ah ok. Unfortunately I cannot look at that page on imgur as I am in the UK and it's blocked here.

I agree that there is a decline in usability. If you took a Mac from those early days, it is still very usable and everything is where you'd expect it to be. In recent years this has changed and the general iOS-ification of the OS has

You can add books using the Calibre software which converts epubs and mobi files I think. I use this with a Kindle Paperwhite 2nd Generation and avoid Amazon interaction.

Yes, it was called Active Desktop and it was much older than Win2K: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop If you changed the colour scheme on Windows 98, none of the cloud images were transparent in Explorer (th

I would rather more manufacturers started releasing ARM laptops instead! I'd love to run Linux on a decent ARM laptop. Unfortunately given the lukewarm reception to Windows 11 on ARM (likely due to the lukewarm reception in tech circle

Why are you even paying them a single penny if they're the most untrustworthy company you've dealt with?! That seems a lot of money to be giving a company you don't trust.

Oh my goodness I am so so so so happy I never knew this existed!!!! Thank you!

No, the main complaint is that you can't do half of those things with a keyboard. Eg. how do I maximise a window on macos with my keyboard? I have been using macos for decades and use it daily at work so I understand it is different. I

So how would you ensure you can't do this? A = 0; B = 0; A = move(B); ++B; ++A; What should happen at ++B, and what should A be at the end? How would the compiler enforce this? I can see this being complicated. The compiler can forget

I honestly don't understand. Circular inclusions are something to deal with, but it's a tree.... so how can a leaf contain a branch?? I know C# does some magical things (I know not what) to avoid this since there are no headers so

by 72deluxe 7mo ago
Annoyingly it doesn't even maximize properly. You have to use alt-click for sensible behaviour. They also decided about 10? years ago to make it behave as a "fullscreen" button which was really useless to me on a Mac Pro with

This is true for the most part, unless you adjust keyboard settings in System Settings to let all UI elements be focusable with the keyboard (for tabbing between UI elements). I think it used to be under "keyboard" but they might

I had been using Windows my entire life and using a Mac in 2009? was awful. How do I get to the menu bar? Ctrl-F2. They keep changing the behaviour of the menu so that cursor keys don't wrap at the bottom of a menu so you have to know

by 72deluxe 7mo ago
I don't understand this at all. There are modules. But headers are perfectly fine to deal with and have been for decades and decades! Next you'll be arguing that contents pages in all books should be removed.

What do you mean by a destructing move? Are you trying to avoid use of a moved object after you've moved it? eg. B = std::move(A); // You are worried about touching A when it's in this indeterminate state?

In terms of contract in a function, you might be passing the pointer to the function so that the function can write to the provided pointer address. Input/output isn't specifying calling convention (there's fastcall for that)

C with classes is a very simplistic view of C++. I for one can write C++ but I cannot write a single program in C. If the overlap was so vast, I would be able to write good C but I cannot. I've done things with templates to express my

Interesting tests. As a musician myself, you run into no end of snobbery on equipment as if your instrument was made of magical timber. I do have 2 identical Warwick FNA Jazzman 5s, and bizarrely they do not sound the same at all, so there&

It's a shame isn't it, because I define it as someone who listens carefully and is critical in sonic arrangement on recordings, relative to the recording medium and playback equipment. It always seems to be used disparagingly or a

Not very cost effective really, unless you go for those online sellers that offer books from phone JPEGs at awful quality. I am doing it slowly and within a budget, that's for sure.

I am hoping that Canon's promise of 100 years for the Selphy prints holds true. The printer applies a final clear protective layer. I will monitor!
