Instant transitions are wonderful for efficiency, and you do see that mirrored in games as well. And you hope to see it in utility-oriented software.

It's especially backwards because most extensions worked fine when they were first cut down to that list of 20. They (the proclaimed bastion of user choice and freedom) just didn't allow you to install them. Forks and self-bu

Agreed, it's pretty rare that you'll need to turn it off. The default theming color selection does a good job making sure that lightness is different, so virtually all not-completely-custom-styled apps work with all kinds of color

So as far as I can tell, wikilambda is a programming language with IDs instead of keywords, and translatable user-defined names, and that gives you code like this: { "Z1K1": "Z2", "Z2K1": "Z0

It always has been negative attention gathering - reading marks you as a nerd. And yeah, by far the strongest predictor I've ever seen for "does the kid do X that everyone agrees is good for people to do" is always "do

I don't know of any way to control the setting automatically (sometimes there are special-permission non-standard/undocumented intents for settings though), but as a maybe-close-enough you can turn on grayscale color correction (i

I grant the lol-concept, but citizens monitoring their government is extremely different from governments monitoring their citizens.

To +1 the "no objective foundation": browse music theory research a bit! There's a ton of caveats and poor-sounding fits and whatnot for literally every approach, and there's endless discussion of it. E.g. have a Min

Huh. Interesting. Well, there are quite a lot of ants in the world, so I guess it makes sense.

Surprisingly, none with crabs on them. Carcinization will fix that eventually. And then Roko's Crabulisk will hunt down everyone who didn't vote for the crab flag.

Implode generally implies shrinking/collapsing, so while explode is kinda ambiguous, I think this is fairly clearly saying "bubble will pop".

[accessibility settings -> display -> reduce transparency] is the main option afaik. while you're in there, try "reduce motion" too, it's pretty nice imo.

Yea, both netbook-flavored machines I've got have been a struggle with VAAPI (and mostly giving up too). Definitely hoping for some success here, they actually do have vulkan drivers...

Yea, I'm most-hopeful for some of my lowest-end devices. Those as-cheap-as-possible CPUs tend to have a very strange set of accelerators for codecs.

Oh sweet, now I can look forward to "compiling shaders..." on every website I visit! --- More seriously, I'm definitely curious to try this out on some of my weird computers. Sometimes vulkan support is noticeably more capabl

TBH I think I've seen more database use than not specifically because it serves as the central race-resolver in a system, because doing that anywhere else is many, many times harder and more mistake-prone. Fancy querying has been muc

Fair, though for people avoiding LLM-using projects entirely it doesn't make a huge difference.

tbh I'd expect the opposite - inherent bias / regression to the current norm comes through quite consistently when they're used to summarize stuff, and that'll badly taint science using it.

Neat: https://postimg.cc/dLmzHfhJ So yea, that strategy seems to work. PoC functional, gonna clean it up later.

Are you honestly trying to imply that Excel is as easy to invisibly manipulate as ChatGPT?

yes, I think that's a good idea too. and possibly easier to achieve. I don't think advertising is inherently bad, and at some point you get ambiguous about "is this advertising or is it just describing something so I can f

which they kinda already do, yea. I just want it to be stronger, and to correct indentation that doesn't follow your formatting rules (which I have not seen / is not widespread). kinda like a `gofmt` overlay on a file, rather

I think you'd definitely find some interest, e.g. anyone that intentionally avoids "the cloud" will want something local. Honestly I assume there are some of these already, monitoring apache/nginx/etc logs. Anubis

I think a good chunk of it is bot-induced performance problems, yea. Whether that's compute or transfer. And advertisement costs. Optimization is very very much not a solved problem though, just look at basically all software ever

I want to visibly indicate it on links / visits, for myself, so I can learn what the impact is and what might be worth avoiding. And how tightly bound use of it is - often these kinds of services are used/avoided by pockets that

There are plenty of ways to mitigate that "losing a lot" (like government subsidies: run X, get paid $Y per Z -> easier access for both users and providers. we already do this for a lot of research and tons of industry, it&#x2
