   I've used this for years and it's the best out there. Definitely use it for converting videos for Google Slides and such. But it's such a travesty that we're in 2024 and still using GIFs in place of videos. I guess it&#x

   My mother had the same issue. TouchID would stop recognizing her finger less than a day after setting it up.

   The article drops that quote with no context, but presumably he's admitting in this case it was an error of judgement/design, not execution.

   The generic models definitely know a lot about Harry Potter without any additional context. Probably 80% of my questions to ChatGPT were about Harry Potter plot and character details as my kid was reading the books. It was extremely knowled

   Your first point is true I think. Your second is certainly not. The baseline expectation for Japanese homes is constantly improving and something built cheap today is many times better than something built cheap 20 years ago. Yeah, you get

   Tokyo is not shrinking yet, but Tokyo housing is still plentiful and affordable.

   I switched to Capture One years ago, but recently switched back to Lightroom. It’s much much faster now and they also recently launched advanced color editing, AI masks, and true HDR support which pushed me over the edge.

   Your parent wasn’t disagreeing. "These are not 4 separate devices" is a reference to the iPhone launch announcement.

    Rejecting near hires by phone or video is much better than an email. At that point you’ve likely developed something of a real connection with the recruiter, hiring manager, and/or the team overall. I’ve had final interviews or fit cal

    Why does that seem strange? People who are interested will know or course, but to 99.99% of people, “dinosaur” specifically means lizards (often huge) that lived millions of years ago. Even the name means “terrible lizard” and a lot of peop

    Your point is completely orthogonal to account takeover. You can require a phone number to create an account and not allow SMS to the number to takeover the account.

    You usually pay four or five months up front to move into a Japanese apartment anyway. One month thanks for letting me rent here fee Two months deposit One month fee to the agent First month’s actual rent And most contracts are two years bu

    I never use cash myself, but I do see "Doesn't accept new ¥500 coins" signs on tons of vending machines, parking payment machines, etc.

    I'm not sure where you live, but cash is certainly no longer king in Tokyo. It's still alive and there are plenty of people that prefer it, but it's used for far less than half the transactions I see everyday. And I'll g

    I had never heard of Moon and randomly picked it to watch on an airplane with no Internet. I was not prepared for that good of a movie!

    This is amazing! My kids get sick on train rides and I think a lot has to do with the sun strobing through the trees. I’ll try this next time to at least not be on the sunny side.

    In the US, highways are almost all free but ”payment” is roughed charged through gasoline taxes. You also pay for sewage service based on how much water you use, not how much sewage you produce, based on the assumption that most of your wat

    I’m not GP, but I assume the point is that it’s part of the job. Coroners look at real dead people all day. EMTs see horrific injuries. Many jobs have unpleasant aspects, some horrible, but this isn’t novel or unique.

    Apple has supported FeliCa globally since 2017. Android still doesn’t. It’s not a restriction someone can remove; the non-Japanese phones just don’t have either the hardware or license necessary.

    It’s not just the gates; FeliCa is 100–200ms, much faster than all the other tap payment protocols.

    For anyone looking for a Mac equivalent, there's GoToFile[0]. As far as I've seen, this is the only app for Mac that doesn't just reuse Spotlight search (which I find to be terrible). I looked for exactly this type of app for

    That line has always stuck out and annoyed me. What does that even mean in the context of Middle Earth economy? Who could pay that much to determine the price? Maybe it’s a naïve calculation extrapolated from more realistic exchanges of sma
