Hey guys, this is a pretty decent gesture no matter what you think of Microsoft after mass layoffs. No need to be snarky.

I’ve started to do this more often recently as well. Do you employ any specific approach for prompting to get what you want more consistently?

There are some scenes in the latest episode of Foundation, particularly those in Trantor, where I found the shots/focus with "weird" focus and depths of field. I have a personal theory that those were already shot with spatia

Even this isn’t reliable anymore. I had a double quote word that was being spellchecked. Even the ‘-‘ operator would still include words i explicitly avoid. This isn’t all the time but it happens frequently enough to be annoying.

There's a section for LLMs, but most major concepts are covered down to linear algebra and some hardware (skimmed through this). Are you looking for anything in particular?

And Apple has services for replacing that. Although I used to repair my devices myself, it makes sense from Apple’s POV. There’s far more people who don’t know how to do this (or couldn’t be bothered to learn and when they fuck up, they bla

Digital slavery and slavery both have definitions that are pretty different from how you use those terms.

LimeWire I’m familiar with and one they’ve definitely used but that seems like a thing from 20 years ago. And by the 2010s I don’t know if anyone still used it. Given that, now I’m curious on why it was mentioned to be better than TBP which

I have torrented but am not very familiar in this field, but I have to say, this is the first time I've ever heard of gnutella. Less technical people I know have heard or used TPB and are likely never to have heard of this as well. I a

I visited that channel and now I'm going to figure out how to play Age of Mythology on my computers this weekend.

If you haven't, give Starcraft Remastered a shot. Felt like the original games when I played them when I was a kid but looks "modern" without any changes on unit interactions, etc.

I would recommend getting Starcraft Remastered if you're into the original games. They're really well made. "Modern" graphics that still feel like the original and should work out of box on modern computers (even M1 macs

Hmm. Now I want to start playing StarCraft again. It’s been a while but I honestly feel like that helped me train my focus back then.

The ads on the TV app I think are 30s trailers when playing episodes or movies (only once per session as I’ve experienced) which can immediately be skipped like a recap. It’s the only ad on a streaming service that has never annoyed me (I a

As someone who was diagnosed with MDD, it's not something that will magically fix you. But it's something that will (should) improve your base mood. My floor was higher when I started to exercise. It also gave me something to focu

Tangentially related. there’s a forest in the Philippines that is hectares of land where only a single species of non-native tree was planted [1]. Go there and you won’t hear any birds or wildlife. It’s spooky. It’s partially because the b

Makes sense. The fact that it’s not immediately clear to me, makes me believe I’ve had a sheltered life (pun intended). I should go out more often aside from usual city running or going to the beach.

by gandalfgreybeer 3y ago
Same thoughts on shelter vs water. But maybe there’s an assumption that there’s a barrage of elements or the environment.

Minor thing, don’t call it “Western style” or “Eastern style”. I’m not sure what the correct term is. There are plenty of Asian countries that don’t follow last name - first name so it’s not necessarily an “eastern” thing. another opinion f

This is lumping Asia Pacific into one big group. For example in the Philippines, its first name - last name that’s the standard. And then there’s a minority of Chinese-Filipinos that sometimes have traditional Chinese names. It’s more compl

by gandalfgreybeer 3y ago
Personal opinion. As an Asian person, don’t overthink this. Just have fields for family name and given name to distinguish between the two. Sure, when there’s a text field saying hello “first name last name” it might be flipped but this sho

Misinformation videos for a corrupt major political family in the Philippines started popping up early 2010s. I remember watching one as a kid and watching several related videos. However, I don’t think I truly absorbed them only because I

Half of data scientists or ML engineers I work with can implement and train models but do not necessarily understand the underlying principles or math. Most people just care that it works and not why. Really dangerous depending on the probl

I never tried Obsidian because the recurring price was too steep for me and I understand that localization will be a challenge. I do have to say, however, that your responses here actually sound sincere (and the reaction to OP's projec

Just checked recent ones I got (I don’t really mind them) and I see an unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email. I’m in SEA region so not sure if that’s a factor.

In theory, the Apple ID is usually an email, iCloud or otherwise, isn’t this something that can be reset from that end should you forget the account password? Not 100% sure but just guessing based on how I understand apple accounts are set

Zangwill should be the new Jackson. Covers mostly the same problems and topics but you can actually get through it.
