Another factor is color - our eyes don’t notice it well in low light, so the patches don’t stand out. Camera sensor is equally sensitive to colors at all brightness levels.

More often then not people will eventually type out their question, even if you don't greet them back. I just tune out the bare "hellos" and it turns out fine. It's not a big enough issue to buy a domain over.

Is it really? My native language has tens of millions of speakers, but no Siri support. I can use it though to talk to large models including TTS and STT support. Obviously it's not perfect for smaller languages, but it still represent

I got my current job few years ago by just responding to a public posting, but I have noticed that nowadays most of new hires actually come recommended by someone. I wonder why the switch happened. Is it the community responding to lower de

Jobs are a byproduct of capital owners needing labor to sell things and services with a profit margin, so they can buy the good stuff. I’d argue that once the capital owners possess the technology that brings the cost of labor near zero, th

While a different caliber of a device, it does remind me of Apple Vision Pro, which is also carving out a new device category. In its case many reviewers were more receptive to the potential it promises, rather than just a set of provided f

I have a feeling that we'd end up regretting it. It would get abused in all the unnecessary ways. Kind of like the magic Docker outputs, with output previews and multiple progress bars that break into a horrible mess the moment they hi

It's similar in that regard that it might be wrong sometimes. It's also similar, as coding LLM may be used to translate code between languages.

I firmly believe that AI is the future of user interface, but to believe that a device like this can displace a smartphone is just crazy. It's obvious that the phone manufacturers are racing to add deep AI integration into their operat

It’s not the same size BTW. Depending on a particular configuration, the moon can be between 10% bigger and 10% smaller than sun.

The same thing applies to things like chocolate. Yet no one says that since we can't pinpoint a threshold of chocolate consumption harmfulness, we need to assume it's ZERO.

That's the current WHO position apparently, but it's only motivated by lack of evidence of a threshold below which alcohol is safe. I find that approach actually harmful, as it creates an impression that there's little differ

That take has a "victim blaming" vibe going on. Those texts were not lost, they were deleted. Yes, backups are a good idea, but we shouldn't just accept that kind of behaviour.

Don't know the details, but apparently "[it's] not designed to run PICO-8 carts out of the box". PICO-8 has a really low resolution, lower than a Game Boy, which makes it a bit difficult to write code in.

It’s a bit of a shame that it’s apparently not fully compatible with PICO-8. I’d imagine it to be a perfect environment to create PICO-8 games.
