Hilarious that the person you're replying to had their smug reddit "CITATION NEEDED" gotcha-attempt, and when you and rayiner provided some, I see nothing but downvotes. I can hear the reeee'ing from here.

We need to be able to "pin" sub-comments like this as "top comment" in a thread. Very well played!

It's not recent - I have been using it since the mid-2000s, it's fantastic. It might have been shut during COVID, and just re-opened though.

Nice work! Been looking for a good standalone photo manager for a while. Three questions: 1. Can we do multiple person search? Eg: photos with Person A and Person B? 2. Any plans for descriptive search using CLIP or any of the existing neur

Fascinating article on his website (there are many!) about a WSJ reporter playing a fool during an interview with him: https://www.fourmilab.ch/autofile/e5/?chapter=chapter2_99 Fake news always gonna fake, eh?

Is "treatment" really the right word? Sounds like they're just exploiting them to sell invasive, irreversible surgeries that cause even more longer-term mental health damage.

Banking apps are the worst. They make us switch on notifications, else we can't get any confirmation notices for us to confirm transactions, then they proceed to spam me with credit card offers and other rubbish I'm not interested

What I would like is for ArXiv to have an LLM to rewrite all papers away from the stodgy, stilted language prevalent in every paper. Just write clearly gang, use proper paragraph breaks and stop with the run-on sentences.

I was thinking about this the other day as well, I wonder how much pet ownership in general also has a direct impact on fertility. Not fertility rates (as in, couples choosing not to have kids get pets instead), but rather toxoplasmosis eff

Did Microsoft just effectively acquire 100% of OpenAI without actually needing to cross the 49% regulatory hurdle? Depending on who follows them to MSFT, that might actually be the outcome here. And OpenAI is suddenly Xerox Parc.

Is he, though? Genuine question - I am sure the Chief Scientist (or equivalent) of Xerox Parc was a brilliant person, but if we take our engineer blinders off, a successful birthing of products that millions benefit from is from more than j

The article seems to be talking about an outage that happened in Oct 2023, but then references a LinkedIn post that was written in 2021? One of the banks, DBS, has had several outages in recent years, but this seems like sloppy writing.
