I don't understand. What would such a button have done? If somebody needed help, the driver may very well have to decided to stop ASAP, at the same gore point, and the women could have then chosen to immediately get out, and one of the

That would actually be kind of hilarious, and I could easily see it happening. E.g. the agent's instruction is to finish some task on cloud infra and it has a $100 budget. It realizes it will cost $200, and instead of surfacing this to

I'm not sure what the point of your comment is then, because there are unknown unknowns in literally everything. The main point of the article has nothing to do with manufactured technology vs evolved technology. It is fundamentally ab

What are you talking about? A MacBook is optimized for a larger screen and comes with a better keyboard and trackpad. I use both my MacBook and iPad all the time, because their hardware form factors are better for different things. I don&#x

You can literally use all those things with an iPhone. Including all at the same time. So I don't know what you're complaining about?

It's bait. This is no process behind it. It's made up to get attention.

I dunno, but in my experience Claude looks at all the levers in your codebase, understands what they do, and then generally figures out how to achieve the desired end result. And when it doesn't, it's usually because of things out

Agreed, this site isn't reflective of any of my experience with Claude. It does what I ask it to do, and when it doesn't get it right, it generally turns out there's a good reason for it, which is any of the 100 reasons a h

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, and 99.9% of it has free shipping. I've had to pay a shipping fee maybe 3 times over the past decade, if I'm guessing? Even if there are tons of scammy expensive-shipping listings, if people are alm

On eBay for certain scammy sellers, but not as a general rule. And on Amazon, certainly not for items sold by Amazon or part of Prime. Again, only scammy third-party sellers.

That's like reaching the state of having a perfect button-down shirt. Styles change (like collar size, slim vs roomy), and what looks good on one torso doesn't look best on another. What fits well for one company/product&#x2F

How does this work? What data is it pulling? It seems like it's made of Gaussian splats, but the creator says it comes from Apple data. What Apple data? Is Apple making Gaussian splat data available? I feel like we're not too far

Not really. They are two different paradigms. Use the one that is right for you. SQLite is embedded for local applications with one writer mostly. Postgres is for a client-server architecture with many writers. When you start a project, you

I can't think of anyone who would want this, because if the photo is displayed at a high enough resolution to show the center detail, then a majority of the photo is distractingly blurry. Plus I'm assuming the border interpolati

I'm confused. So this is just producing a single photo that is clearer in a middle rectangle and blurrier outside that rectangle? Of course the extra detail in the middle is nicer, but won't the edge of the "detail rectangle&

You were the one who brought up my comment history. And falsely characterized it. And I have no idea what your comment about moderators has to do with anything? Thank you for the link. I am already extremely aware of that FAQ. I was asking

It's inferior in theory. In practice, it's just as good. That's the point -- was my comment somehow unclear?

by crazygringo 2mo ago
Right, but there is no meaningful difference in terms of ad blocking ability. It's all theoretical. In practice, uBlock Origin Lite works amazingly on MV3. In my experience, it blocks all the ads. And I've been using it for a whil

It's not. Apple regularly rejects apps when they appear to be functionally identical to 10+ existing apps. They don't want 100 apps that do the exact same thing.

Exactly this. It's all done ahead of time. The grill cook only has to throw it on the grill, sear it, warming it up enough to eat, but making sure the interior doesn't go above whatever the original sous vide temperature was.

by crazygringo 2mo ago
The sous vide is not the hard part here. It's the deep frying for the sear. Not many people are willing to deep fry in their kitchens. It's messy, potentially dangerous, and not only stinks up the entire house for days but leave

It's pretty critical to salt fully (not just a tiny bit) at the start rather than at the end. Meat where the salt is just on the surface, vs. meat where the salt has fully penetrated, is like night and day.
