I had absolutely no idea the Monstera Deliciosa produced fruit! Nice idea, thanks for sharing.

He’s a podcaster, not musician. Basically a talk show I suppose? My point was more the GP wanted to see Spotify go out of business because they bought a podcast. I just thought it was a bit of a wild statement to make.

Out of curiosity I tried to find the podcast in question on the Spotify iPhone app. Literally 3 taps and I’ve found a full list of episodes. I’ve also tried on my Mac, slightly more presses (four, to be exact) as I had to press ‘podcasts &a

Correction - there is an About page. It’s completely useless and tells you nothing about the company other than they would like to call their team ‘kick-ass multi-disciplinary problem solvers’. Highly trustworthy stuff. Also > Creative D

Thanks for your input! It’s interesting it’s oversensitive to this, I wonder what the safeguards are, and how strict they can be. This is a game changer I would imagine for anyone not able to see, so hopefully you get a better bit of kit ve

This is shocking, I can’t do much about the wider industry but I’m a huge advocate for accessibility on the web, I’ll continue being a pain in the arse to POs, PMs, devs and general management pushing for this kind of change. If everyone pu

Understood, thanks for the reply, blindgeek. An additional question, if you don’t mind answering (and there’s zero obligation to). How have you found accessibility has changed on the web over the years? We have many tools these days to assi

This is so cool. I’d ask how it works, however I feel like I wouldn’t understand at a fundamental level, even if I read through your codebase. Interpreting an image in the concept of a machine baffles me, it doesn’t have eyes. It surely can

Thanks! I saw that bit but honestly, skipped past it due to being on mobile and assuming it was just a list of commands. Must’ve missed the header! Very impressed with the capability here given that transcript, I’ll certainly try it myself.

As a follow up to this I’d like to ask any partially sighted or blind people the issues they currently experience using a LLM such as ChatGPT, Bard, Llama or otherwise - both from a UI perspective and an API perspective.

Hey! I don’t understand too much about AI/ML/LLMs (and now LMMs!) so hoping someone could explain a little further for me? What I gather is this is an IRC bot/plugin/add-on that will allow a user to prompt an ‘LMM’ which

It’s a good question. There aren’t many circumstances that this would happen, however when it does there are still no fees on the account (at least the ‘Cash Account’ at the bank I worked at) - it would go into a negative balance, not incur

No, just a decade or so. We had passbook printers, but their ribbons were quite poor and broke often so we ended up writing a lot of books. Joys of living in an old school market town! If we had an old one we kept and destroyed it (but real

I wrote in thousands of passbooks in my time at a bank - they were truly a pain in the arse, but also a true artefact of old school ways. High quality little things for sure, and a lot of history surrounding some of them, I’ve seen and writ

I imagine it relates to the Penguin logo of Linux, and him being the creator of it. Not 100% but that’s my best guess.

I feel like my devils advocate argument was in good faith, however if it didn't come across that way, my apologies. To answer your first question, I'd say 90mph is probably the most you'd need to use in pretty much all circum

You should probably start funeral planning anyway if you can’t trust your kid in a vehicle without artificially limiting their speed. I didn’t use any hyperbole about the fastest car, with highest acceleration, I was merely pointing out tha

Devils advocate here, if you limit the speed for your teen and then need to accelerate to get out of a dangerous situation, what will happen? I’m not saying it happens often, but I’ve had times when driving on the motorway when I simply nee

When you think about the damage that could be done with this kind of technology it’s incredible. Imagine asking your MixAIr to sort out some fresh dough in a bole and then leaving your house for a while. It might begin to spin uncontrollabl

In the UK at least you can take your test pretty much whenever, typically your instructor would say you’re ready to try and put you forward for it but there’s no requirement that I’m aware of to do a minimum number of hours. We also don’t u

This feels so wrong to post in this thread, but I’m going to bite. It’s ‘critique’, I believe you mean. I’m sorry. Edit: as someone who can’t even figure out the markdown to italicise right now, maybe I should have kept my nose out!
