And they improve room acoustics a decent amount, making the space that much more pleasant.

Zoho’s SLA I can’t speak to but it’s hard to argue against free forever, including custom domains. For personal use it’s perfect and the paid packages are much better value for money than Google/Microsoft. FastMail is wonderfully compe

I accidentally started the Gemini-the-product free trial in Workspace while trying to find how I could test Gemini-the-model in AI studio. The first task that I asked for it’s assistance with, was how to disable, cancel or unsubscribe from

To be fair I think that is a hard task even for a human expert, in the sense that there isn’t much prior art.

Wasn’t the initial first day blitz overwhelming many border-adjacent units and military bases was largely due to pwned 4g/5g infra and having those troops accurate location?

As a curious occasional geoguessr player, whereabouts in Tierra del Fuego one might find industry, manufacturing and assembly? I thought it was fishing, tourism and shipping focused.

How do you ask someone to give you a Unicode character from the private use area?

Same here. All examples are white or black pages. All are empty except the slider, which has a non-interactive text that says ”Slide me”. iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.1.1.

One would have to be rather optimistic and patient if one was to hold out hope for the humanity experiment to not be destined for the Trash bin in this scenario, with our track record.

Awesome piece of software and right up my alley (although I’m too invested in my homegrown scripts to let them go - but I’ll give this a try.) You might consider adding some of the key info from the first paragraphs in the docs (open source

The irony is that imgur uses the same consent dialog box design with the same underhanded tactic of several different categories of ”legitimate interest” that each contain dozens of data providers and need to be toggled off individually.

I love the idea. Kind of like harm reduction through drug testing. Except the drugs are legal and don’t give you a high. I would probably rather advocate for Which (UK), Consumer Reports (US) and various similar organisations to work on thi

Do you have a link or some searchable name for the journalist? I’ve been intrigued by this genre for a while now.

Are you using something like Wails or Electron to wrap this into a desktop app? I’ll have to sign up for Thymer and check it out! I’ve been prototyping my app with a sveltekit user-facing frontend that could also eventually work inside Taur

There are many ways to spend your time and money and they reward you in different ways. I can appreciate games for the feats of engineering and works of art they are same as I can appreciate wines or sports and careers with high demands on

What about the user interface? I’m all in on Go + Sqlite, but the user facing parts need a UI.

I know many 90s kids that had a complete ban on video games at home, myself included. I am now pleasantly surprised that while I find many games impressive and can appreciate them as feats of engineering, art and game design… I don’t get a

Which country’s system fifth grade? Or alternatively, which age are talking about? If it’s 13 year olds, that sounds very surprising and wildly impractical.

That actually sounds remarkably accessible. Considering how much of a donation you need to make for naming rights to a rural university professorship/library building, surely this would appeal to some freshly minted startup decamillion

Since there are video experts around in this thread, does anyone know if there are implementations out there for a player that enables fast smooth scrubbing with audio, similar to how you can scrub and/or watch the timeline at 16x in A

I don't believe that is comparable. 1. Modern algorithms started out as a cronjob (which already worked better than the alternative) 2. Advances in applying optimal control theory are well known, (mostly) deterministic and explainable.

A radiologist makes critical life-or-death judgements. An algorithm will not, and should not, replace them.

I don’t know - I could argue that the user’s browser should be the preferred way to navigate, duplicating it’s functionality is redundant and adds clutter to the interface. It’s at least a defensible position.

The thing that gets me is how slow all of it is. And I’ve programmed against facebook APIs, which are ludicrously performant! Hundreds of megabytes of data in single digit milliseconds total roundtrip.

At that price point Hetzner’s dedicated storage servers with enterprise HDDs are cheaper per terabyte and better suited for production work loads.
