Yeah, the last mile is huge. My parents have paid between $100 and $200 per month for the last decade to get metered Internet that's worse than this.

It doesn't seem like it's matching a "specific known face". The face only marginally looks like Ryan Gosling; more realistically it just inserted a face that happens to look like a random celebrity and the site ran away

Not commenting on whether Fortnite should or shouldn't have been removed from either app store, but wanted to point out one HUGE difference between Android and iOS here: Removing Fortnite from the iOS store wholly removes the ability f

I wonder what impact the ordering of those clauses has on people reading/voting. I didn't even notice "or grant preferential treatment to" until the ~third read through, still trying to figure out why anyone would vote t

I'm not the guy you're responding to, but to be clear, yes: Apple would need to alter its security model to allow third-party app stores to exist, as they cannot exist with its current their-apps-only model. The app store could ha

Wow, it didn't even occur to me to try dragging with a mouse. I'm on a touchscreen laptop and when touching-and-dragging didn't work (only moved the videos a little bit, but not enough to go to the next one), I just assumed i

Breaking up tech companies into smaller companies has been suggested a lot lately, probably most notably by Elizabeth Warren's recent pushes. A relevant quote on her approach is here: >Apple, you’ve got to break it apart from their

I know how it's supposed to be read (and I've even seen real reels at old movie theaters!), but I still just think about fishing reels every time I see it.

Yep, I bought a Pixel 3A when it first came out and I'm still consistently getting 2+ days battery with every charge. It's honestly amazing to not have to worry about batteries anymore; whenever it gets low I just charge for 15-30

I'd be down for Big G. I'd expect some kind of plugin either user-side (I choose) or server-side (the instance chooses), though.

Not only do I totally agree, but the words you used were almost verbatim what I was composing in my head while waiting for this page to load. It was a bit crazy to see my exact thought already as a comment. But yeah, editors are just a pref

Makes sense to me. Google Flights is amazing, Google Stocks is better than my broker (and way easier/faster), Translate doesn't even have a decent competitor, and Restaurants isn't perfect but just makes it easier to get to G

You're not, but a lot of users care a lot about it. I recently worked my way down feature requests enough to reach dark mode for a site I run and users were ecstatic , moreso than they were for big, new features that'd been reque

Is there a list somewhere of who exactly was exposed? It's difficult to remember which sites I've given DNA to and which I haven't.

The OpenAI website has a login that lets people access it through a web interface, but there is also an API. You can join the waitlist at https://beta.openai.com/; they're apparently working through the list.

Hi all! I've been working to integrate GPT-3 into Notebook.ai for the past couple days and decided to publish this repo, which is effectively my notes on what prompts/settings work for generating various core pieces of fictional w

Homographs and homonyms are traditionally defined by words that share the same spelling (like the example you posted) and/or pronunciation (like the other example in the link immediately following the one you posted), when those words

Haha, I have a similar note. I've worked at two jobs where I was forced to work on company MBPs and it was a daily nightmare. I scoped a few of the more generic problems with just trying to be productive up on Medium [1] to share with

I never understood the mindset that finds joy in throwing off the datasets being trained on these kinds of captchas. Is it related more to the "rush" of cheating on a test in school (i.e. figuring out a way to "cheat" on

"Being antifa" has a lot more connotations than just being against fascism. Equating the antifa group and it's loose "members" with just an anti-ideology is a cop-out that isn't helpful to differentiating a des

I checked out the repo, but didn't have high hopes when there weren't any screenshots in the README. But these look great! You should definitely show them off. Adding them to the repo for others to see might generate the tinest bi
