Here in India we cook with peanut oil, use peanuts as a flavour base in cooking, add peanuts to a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, and snack on roasted peanuts every day in the winter. I'm typing this just having finished munching

Seems to work well when it's searching the PDF text layer as ligatures are a font rendering effect. You're right — ligatures are not as common in modern books. Might be iffier in OCR mode: it seems to use Tesseract, which is known

This kind of linguistic innovation is called a “dysphemism”, apparently. The Wikipedia entry for “dysphemism” was quite enlightening. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/style/rawdog-flights-term...

I don’t see how that’s the most likely reason to abstain. A lot of religious people have never consumed an alcoholic drink; at least that is the case for South Asians: Muslims in particular, but also many Hindus and Sikhs.

I'm seeing this play out among young people I know who were trying to improve their English writing skills. Everything they post now in any formal or semi-formal context is via ChatGPT. Their self-confidence has taken a nosedive.

It seems to have gotten much faster recently so it might be worth another look. I also found it much slower while working on remote folders (with VS Code at least).

There seem to be two different camps here: Copilot-users that use it largely for autocomplete and Cursor/Sonnet-users that use it for generating larger blocks of code. Personally I'm in the former camp; the efficiency gains are su

I loved this one and tried a bunch of different techniques to replicate it. Finally settled on ffmpeg, with something similar to this: https://gist.github.com/chigozienri/0ac602c3bc7d6c5fab9f0c68...

I liked Paul Hudson's Hacking with macOS ( https://twostraws.gumroad.com/l/hwmacos ) which includes an older AppKit edition of the book. You'll have to account for changes in Xcode since the book was published.

The "tabs" seem to be arpeggiations of the chords, which might have been some use if the chord detection had worked well, which doesn't seem the case. I see chords and tabs being generated from sections which have only spoken

Arguably GP is already successful in their current position with respect to overall satisfaction, if one treats satisfaction as a boolean.

I like how the xkcd seems to frame it: seeking out problems to list can cause insignificant problems to seem significant. It's how "writer's mind" can be a problem in deepening a meditation practice.

In India [1] the standard dose for acetaminophen has recently become 650mg, because the 500mg variant is price-controlled and allegedly one manufacturer spent roughly $ 120 million to market the 650mg variant to Indian doctors. [1] https:&

I'm curious about the name. It seems to mean thirty-one/سی و یک in Persian. Is it a literary reference? Something to do with the Simurgh tale?
