Feedback: on mobile when I zoom out, the origin point changes. So I center on where I am at a high zoom level, I see some coloured lines going off screen so I zoom out to see where those lines go, and then they disappear because the origin

I have no idea what I am trying to even do? I got a red and white cube.... Ok now what? What does winning look like? There is no indication of what it means to solve this puzzle or what I am supposed to do.

Came here to say this. It just cranks the brightness up for the pixels. But if you are already at 100% there is not much headroom so all the "before and after" for me were pretty hard to differentiate. There was some minor di

This, and I think that it is not just the data but the way an interaction unfolded. So you show the LLM messages 1,2 and 3 of a 15 email thread. What happens in message 4? 5? 6? Etc. So it's not just training the model on what these t

+1 I did a few android apps in the goldrush years and building the app was the easy part, and this was before Claude code. The hard part was the customer and technical support. Huge time and energy sink fielding those requests - some totall

I think there is some rule about not wearing hats that block the view of others or something. From the era of top hats and all that which aren't that far removed from the bin.

I suspect it's a bit of a signal to investors etc. "Hey, we are not in a race to the bottom. This is our usual pricing, but this now is a promotion because we know we're coming from behind and need to entice users." Th

I have read that "pro"/"opus"/etc models can actually be worse for everyday coding as they reason "too deeply" and turn over too many stones over-thinking the problem and potentially getting distrac

I think this is a bit misleading. It sounds to me like the creators are creating and uploading the content, and then that is getting monetised on the platform? The title makes it sound like meta is commissioning the content? I don't

Surely surely there are apps that use AI to watch you while you do at-home pilates and tell you if you are doing it wrong, need to suck in that bit or straighten that bit?

Is this still an issue though? I'm not saying it isn't an issue, but this has been widely cited for years now and I find it hard to believe something hasn't been done about that.

At least for me, our income did not decrease at all like it does in the chart. It went up but only by normal small inflationary increases. A one-off 1500 USD is not going to m move the needle in the grand scheme of things for me (and I am

Google has the early warning system that gives people maybe 20-30s to e.g. turn off gas, stop vehicles, get under something solid. There was a lot of news recently about how this saved many thousands of lives in Venezuela I think it was. B

I think the "worst case" won't just be losing the phone. Do you think they'll get to the stage of keeping your phone but then let you walk out the airport as if nothing happened?! You will have just had a serious, high-r

There is a time and a place. If someone jumps out at you in a dark alley and they have a weapon and they ask for your wallet, what are you going to do? Swallow your pride and give it to them, or willingly enter into a high-risk and highly-i

I think in these situations your absolute best bet is fawning compliance. Ask precisely how high they want you to jump. Perhaps your friendly smiling Yes-Sir-No-Sir-3-bags-Full-Sir act might just be enough to let you get on your way without

How does this handle motion detection? Anyone tried it? I have a bunch of Nest cameras and some cheaper Tapo cameras. The "motion detection" is night and day different. The Tapo does some basic frame-diffing and it's awful
