Twenty years worth of muscle memory and user presets is one hell of a moat even for replaceable software, but for example After Effects, Photoshop and InDesign have no credible alternatives.

Pretty sure alcohol has much higher margins. Most first, second and third line of treatment psych meds have been out of patent for a while now and cost pennies.

I’m so used to column view as a metaphor for my files and directories that I don’t understand how non-mac people deal with essentially being forced to memorise their directory structure and hierarchy.

Wait, the software I’ve been using for what feels like decades and which always gave me a charming, cosy old school vibe due to its almost infinite options and deep understanding of OS X/macOS was written by someone younger than me!? M

I thought that was the entire ”value” of Twitter, Reddit, SO and other such platforms for LLM training? It’s not like we haven’t got higher quality corpora, on average. They’re just poorly annotated.

There’s plenty of people in Europe in the 30-50 age bracket that aren’t on any social media. Many people from extremely wealthy families or careers in finance, consulting, medicine, law, law enforcement, military and the judicial branch cam

But what if they love arguing? That might train the extremists to be better at arguing their point until they manage to convince the bots or at least make some headway. A free adversarial neural network to improve persuasion skills at scale

If I understand correctly, cow hides are largely a by-product of beef production, and reducing leather use would not have an effect on animal suffering. Apple stopped using leather and was criticised for environmental damage at least in the

Can you tell us more about the soak phase or link to some reading on the specifics? I do the other three things so I’m just curious whether I’m missing something essential.

I’d argue that clogging a toilet with any kind of regularity is still a failure of either engineering or diet.

If you wear more classic mens clothing you can dress pretty much 100% in linen, wool, cotton, silk, leather and various brass/steel buckles. 100% merino wool (winter) or linen/cotton/silk blend (summer) for socks, underwear a

Considering the website we’re on, under what circumstances would you not have a terminal open?

Any chance you could convert ‘nearly half as slow’ to a percentage of the original response time? This reads like a reading comprehension puzzle and I don’t even know if my hunch is correct.

Could you point to the source on that figure? I gather streamed means simply “showed to an individual” in this context, but is this figure official or an estimate and does it take jnto account actual viewing time or is it based on an estima

Hyphenation is extremely useful for headings in languages with very long words. If you aim to maintain visual hierarchy between headings and paragraphs through font size, you will inevitably run into words that exceed screen width on mobile

This would be strange behaviour in countries where mobile data is unmetered and people primarily use their phone as their wifi.

I share your attitude towards inspecting your devices’ traffic being an inaliable right, but AFAICT this hasn’t been the case for a while now. I believe on Android MITMing even most third party applications (that make zero-to-no effort to p

Yes, I agree with the general idea that it's not easy. Yet at least to some extent it might allow people and/or nations with (some degree of, relative) lack of capital but high levels of education and innovation to benefit and cat

That's labour and human capital intensive, not capital intensive. And I don't mean this as a technically correct nitpick: in terms of economics it's more accurate to call it the exact opposite of capital intensive.

I personally think the name is perfectly fine and stands on its own. Maybe I’m just not familiar with it, but i would posit Bitearden isn’t enough of a household name to trigger an association in most people.

Wow, I always thought there was something strange about those gradients, and you’re right! The distinct lack of banding despite the limited variation in hue!

Needs to be a feature built into the phone OS. Start out chuckling to yourself reading tweets at 10am but after doing that for more than 5 minutes the feed starts morphing into your email inbox. That email you were dreading to open? Yeah we

Which part of that is the subject line? Does it include the entire sentence as long as your email client can display it? Or does it literally cut off the sentence mid-point? I would call that misleading and definitely over the edge.

I had to check the R documentation for merge in disbelief, because it didn't ring a bell. Between data.table's [ syntax and dplyr joins I can't remember the last time I've used merge!
