Nostalgic for the old Digg days. Invite-only communities not so much. But given the botting all over social media, guess I can't blame them. I would not be surprised if there's a lot of brouhaha over how it's moderated, since

Proper diarization still remains a white whale for me, unfortunately. Last I looked into it, the main options required API access to external services, which put me off. I think it was pyannotate.audio[1]. [1]: https://github.com

Aside from accessibility as mentioned, you can catch up on videos that are hours long. Orders of magnitude faster than watching on 3-4x playback speed. If you catch up through something like Subtitle Edit, you can also click on relevant par

Whisper is genuinely amazing - with the right nudging. It's the one AI thing that has genuinely turned my life upside-down in an unambiguously good way. People should check out Subtitle Edit (and throw the dev some money) which is a gr

One of my biggest peeves in pricing pages is the "feature diff". There are so many redundant features listed between tiers - or products - that many would be better off not showing features that are largely the same.

That's crazy, I just use Open Library as a free and open alternative to Goodreads for reading lists, reviews, and book indexing, but apparently even that wouldn't be possible in Belgium anymore.

I've been wondering the same too. uv has completely transformed the Python workflow, and I really hope future documentation and knowledge bases incorporate it, but time will tell.

Yeah, asking a programming question without some bitter old coder tut-tutting you is very much a selling point with AI chatbots, regardless of my reservations with the overall trend.

A lot of these terms are very weird and bland. Honestly I'm mostly reminded of Apple's bizarre censorship screw-up that didn't blow up that much, even though it was pretty uniquely embarrassing: https://www.theverg

Guess you could say it happens everywhere by default - absent any checks and balances. Steam had terrible review bombing issues, but they finally decided to do something about it far too many years too late. ... But when you're an incu

The combination of a terribly run social platform together with a crippled API that can't be used to audit it through third parties is an all too familiar story by now.

I think MyASUS was the piece of software that automagically installed itself on my computer a few weeks ago. I still have no idea how it got there; I just uninstalled it as soon as I saw. Hopefully it happened to make sure people had the up

Push notifications definitely would benefit from more granular controls. Tagging alerts like discount notifications you didn't set up as something separate for instance. I don't trust some AI classification over an explicit API. S

I think people would probably feel less strongly about design decisions like these if their customization weren't confined to the Accessibility settings. Same thing goes for, say, the caption settings on tvOS. It's an interesting

Ever since we didn't use bolder text for bright text on dark backgrounds (dark mode) to keep with typographical principles, it looks like we're doubling down on the readability sins. Surely anyone who's fiddled with the capti

Been using this for a long time, and it's fantastic. I also found out that Kagi (the paid search engine) supports rewriting results, which is probably where you'll see a lot of the links you follow.[1] For instance, if you get som

The classic added arbitration clause after a massive breach. Happened with Sony and iirc Valve (through Steam) off the top of my head.

It's so jarring to get these kinds of message, especially for compliance with EU directives, because it's so obviously designed to look un-Apple-like which triggers some sort of malware or scam heuristic without the typical nice A

Rejecting a $23B offer to get $32B less than a year later doesn't sound half bad. https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/23/24204198/google-wiz-acqui...

Ironically, mainly to check for irregular voting patterns like brigading. Not dissimilar to what Steam implemented, which is basically Bollinger bands for ratings.

Lots of great memories using Pi-hole and messing with RPi. I eventually ended up putting my devices on Tailscale and managing DNS through it, eventually using Mullvad VPN as the exit node. Pretty good interface, and most people just have to

I'm a big fan of RTX Voice, but it seems like the kind of feature you can only use in real-time as virtual audio and not as postprocessing. Anyone if Nvidia makes this possible?
