The municipality is on their side because many people who try to get variances on these things are legitimately cutting terrible corners that compromise both the safety of the inhabitants (present and future) and the neighbors. It's in

It's noticeable if you're specifically looking for it, but much harder to tell. Log color makes a huge difference, and the equipment they're using around the iPhone, along with the editing (and now better color grading) reall

I read this several days ago on Zvi’s substack: fantastic analysis that I don’t think many others have. The rational community has pretty good insight, given how much the ethical altruism community overlaps.

The problem is that it isn't an element, it's a background-image to the body. You'd need to overwrite the stylesheet for body, or block the image's url (/img/niconiconi.png)

I've really enjoyed many journalist's takes on SBF/FTX, because it really seems like they're all having fun with it. This is an excellent example

Matter was finalized fairly recently in hardware timescales. It's not better anywhere just yet, though I'm expecting we'll see quite a few expensive Matter devices start coming from the major players, then trickle down to the

Honestly, I think the idea of a less capable computer being used to teach kids to love _programming_ was misguided from the start. Raspberry pis are excellent for making electronics projects accessible and easy. I had an intro class in coll

There's a wide range of workloads for small business owners. Sometimes a strategy finds a market and after significant effort to get to capture customers, doesn't take a lot of work to maintain. Others might be pulling 80 hour wee

Are these uncensored or decensored? If rlhf removes intelligence at any rate, I wouldn’t expect that intelligence to come back with a tune that’s let’s it say curse words and talk about religions

Yep, it's very locked down, and Art Mode behavior is often anti-user to promote their $10/month Art Store subscription. There are limited matting options and I believe it intentionally crops photos incorrectly, even if you upload

It's speculated that the remaining business was slipping out of profitability without an overhaul. Users were dropping, movie selection is expensive to maintain, and distribution staff/centers ate the remaining revenue.

The difference seems to be whether its social or alone. I've never spent anything on microtransactions/f2p, but I've certainly spent money on alcohol. It's a world of difference spending $100 in a night with good friends

This is not just SF problems. These problems are _everywhere_ in the US, with just a reduction in other major hubs where transit is effective for the middle class.

Characters in general for Sanderson books tend to feel like Sanderson picked one trait, and something 'surprising', and made that their whole personality. Then he builds from there. They eventually become complex characters but fo

It's about EV per phone. The more security, the lower the EV. Eventually, it isn't even worth it for informed, career pickpockets to take it. There'll always be pickpockets, but phones are much less of a target because of mea

Looking at the difference from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4, you can see these features are already appearing. GPT-4 can do more, understand more types of data, infer more context, and craft more advanced responses. With the right prompting, it can eve

This seems surprising to me. This is the sort of feature that I could easily see being controlled by the dealer, via 'coding' (effectively just changing config settings via the OBD2 port). It's a fairly easy process that anyo

The existing paradigm is temporary. AI will improve to infer more meaning from what users want, increase their ability to perform it, and chat systems will eventually switch to optional voice input. You tell the system what to do, and it&#x

It appears that the screen and battery are both fairly straightforward replacements, about as easy as any modern smartphone. It would shock me if they weren't performing these repairs.

A small minority of the UK can still be hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. Don't underestimate volume just because the % is low.

This was the case. There were no pristine laptops. Some kids are gentle with them, but things happen outside their control, kids play destructive pranks, or are just clumsy. Theoretically possible to make it to 5 years? Sure. Practically? N

Teachers were building lesson plans around everything being on the laptop, and that all students would have one available. A student couldn’t just be restricted to not taking laptops home, because that means that student either can’t do the

Mildly. Some classes had MacBook airs, which were a bit more durable to the sorts of abuse that would happen, but they costed 3x as much, and didn’t take 3x the punishment. I can’t imagine a solution beyond ‘give them the cheapest thing pos

I don't think I've ever intended for the phone to be anything but silent. It's a much better experience for users to be able to remap what the button does, instead of depending on the few users who still depend on ringtones.

That sounds like more of a software feature that we'd see in a WWDC. I'd expect we'll need to wait till June 2024 to see SiriGPT.
