I keep it for sending the thing in for repair or trade-in. Most other manufacturers don’t offer warranty repair in most cases like AppleCare does and they don’t offer trade-in. So there’s no point in keeping the box around. I’m not sure any

Writing a journal or articles is a lot like rubber-ducking. It gives you time and space to think about the subject more deeply, reach new conclusions, and compartmentalize a topic. Thinking about something also makes you learn it better and

It's not a big problem - just pick a reasonable instance, which 4/5 instances are anyways. Yes, if you pick an instance like lemmygrad on Lemmy that's specifically built to be an echo chamber, the chances of being defederated

Not all that seems free is free. Mentoring your team members, for example, results in better performance, more income, and larger TC eventually.

It can't always be reduced to a zero-sum game. If one teaches their team to perform well, everyone on the team benefits.

The skill bars or skill meters are completely useless because one person's 10/10 is another person's 2/10. Moreover, the more junior the engineer, the higher they score themselves in their discipline. I am an older engin

Thank you for the context. It's interesting that NCLB is seen in negative light, it is similar to what I had as a kid. It seems to be one of those things that was fundamentally good-spirited but corrupted. I think it could have been do

I like you.com, particularly because their LLM tries to quote its sources and fact-checking is much easier. Still, their UX is unusably cluttered[0], which is a shame. Just out of curiosity - could you use this search UI day-to-day? [0] ht

It also costs money to host instances. And I wonder how will we be able to monetize them. Will we have ad-supported and premium instances? Is that possible with Lemmy? As much as people don’t like websites making their behavioural profiles

Regarding making language, I think the human mind hallucinates not unlike GPT. Humans say a lot of stuff because they feel vaguely it is true. So does an LLM when it talks about things it’s underfitted for. Anyways, hallucination is a term

Yes, but it’s a throwaway SIM, so it doesn’t matter.

On the user (and actionable) end, getting a cheap SIM from a country where they are sold OTC. Then, registering with that. You only need to confirm your number once, I think.

I don’t think they’ve broken new ground in terms of resolution (compared to Pimax) and refresh rate (12ms is a bit less than 90Hz, which is equivalent to Quest Pro and worse than Quest 2 in dev mode). I think they might want to avoid these

It’s interesting that Apple isn’t using terms like AR, VR, MR, XR, and pancake lenses. It’s prob either that they want to package the tech as their own and give it fancy labels (like spatial computing). Or they are concerned about being com

Quest 2 is about 500g, and AVP is about 500g. Quest Pro is generally known to be a bit of a heavy one, particularly tough on the forehead.
