Feels odd that you exclude mentioning the EU, which has had instant transfers for more than a decade. More than two decades, if you include things like iDeal from The Netherlands.

IPP Everywhere and AirPrint are virtually identical AFAIK, it's just that AirPrint uses a slightly different proprietary raster format because Apple is gonna Apple.

Well yeah, at that distance you are supposed to notice the difference in resolution, and presumably the difference between matte and glossy. Most living room situations aren't like that though. Btw, that page in general is great if you

Not sure what you mean, Brave blows Firefox out of the water in terms of privacy protections. Firefox has milquetoast fingerprint protection and it doesn't even block ads. uBlock is worse than Brave's blocking by virtue of not bei

Brave has aggressive fingerprinting protection, I have Auto-Shred (formerly Forgetful Browsing) turned on, I use VPN and yet I rarely get gated out.

You're explaining something to me I already know. Hence the "readjust my brain". I'm complaining about the LLM field co-opting a term that was already used in daily vernacular. Imagine if people in the LLM field made it

We're still talking about "zero-shot prompt" when the saying "X-shotted" ["One-shotted the difficult maze"] was already a well-established thing in daily vernacular. So now you constantly have to readjust

What does something looking ugly have to do with it having buttons? The interior looks like the car version of those "Xbox 720", "Gameboy Omega" meme renders from the late 2000s. It's just plain ugly. Compare that t

Are we looking at the same interior? It is ugly as sin. Looks like a mockup render that is going to need ten more iterations to look good.

It is a bit more complex tham that. Logius is the company that actually owns and manages the DigiD stack, it's just that they hired Solvinity for their expertise. AFAIK Solvinity can't access the data. I can't find it right n

LLMs generally write poor quality anything. It'll [usually] work, but it'll need massive refactoring to get in a maintainable and efficient state.

Yup. My hope is that eventually the "fast ring, slow ring, adjacent ring" system of the EU becomes a thing. I then imagine BeNeLux, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, maybe Czechia entering that fast ring. And as they synchronize their bus

Social media was about staying in touch. Whether that was about your friends and family (Facebook) or your city / neighborhood (Twitter). Algorithmic feeds are what poisoned the well.
