yep although I don't think it sounds too intrusive. it comes out as theeyactual while the alternative would the thuh.Actual with a sort of micro-accent on the A. I'm sure linguists have names for all these things, like when the mo

I do this too - "thee actual" vs "thuh real" and such. I do expect it's to do with having a vowel sound of a certain kind at the beginning of the next work making you move your tongue in a certain way.

don't worry too much. english is such a muddled tongue to begin with that there are many ways of saying something "correctly" and few if any of us know them all. anyone who quibbles over some fine verbal point is probably not

AI can't critique because it has no critical faculty. It can only offer critique-shaped language. That may be useful for some, though.

that's certainly fair - it doesn't necessarily follow. her specifically, being an expert before and having spent time as chair though, does tell me she is on target here.

it's been around. I more commonly see it as "been a minute!" when you see someone you haven't seen in a good while.

what an interesting acquisition. I was the one who wrote them up originally for TC: https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/22/glass-rethinks-the-smartph... they had a really cool optical approach that I kind of felt

Interesting to me that three different people have responded with the same "I'm also aphantasic and dream normally" start to their message.

She is a former FTC Chair so she knows what she's talking about, although her approach to enforcement was more expansive than others. The FTC would investigate, likely along the lines she summarizes, build a case in writing, and refer

I personally use the swiping keyboard on ios and it seems to detect the wrong word with an almost malicious frequency. It also randomly Capitalizes things.

yeah, I do this too. minimize the fuzz and the skin itself improves the overall flavor in my opinion.

I appreciate this sentiment and I'll add that, as a writer, I've encountered and experienced it myself and among creative friends. The notion that a model can produce text, or images, that resemble our output is certainly dispirit

imagine telling people not to bring their politics to "the world" so you can enjoy it. the world isn't a product you ordered. i mean a modicum of reflection shows you that what you are suggesting would in fact be imposing you

look man you might just consider not commenting about stuff you know absolutely nothing about. it's totally ok to just not speak up and use it as an opportunity to learn.

I already had the backup but I'll keep that in mind for next time. the screen is fairly beat up too so I don't mind. I'll keep the old one around in case the replacement gets lost or stolen.

it's pretty sad reading the comments in this thread. one senses both the cause and the result of SF's declining cultural relevance.

same. my current SE 3 is starting to limp battery-wise and I'm about to switch to my backup one. Hoping they come to their senses before it wears out.

wasn't it reported elsewhere that they used the equivalent of $22M (street) in Astra tokens? obviously it's not the same when you own the machinery but still.

yeah I'm in a boat of similar shape. plex and plexamp is very simple and plug and play - it handles the IP stuff for remote play, which is the tough part for me. I don't mind lacking features in the server or the client honestly,

unrelated to your otherwise helpful comment, I just wanted to note that it is "demur" (i.e. hesitate or object) you want in this case; "demure" is an adjective meaning shy or modest.
