I really liked my teachers, and have always thought of them as good teachers, however it's also very clear to me as an adult that they didn't teach literature or art. We where taught to read and write, but not have an appreciation

There is also a ton of tv shows, movies, music and books that you cannot buy, for now real good reason. I wouldn't be surprised that if in a few years there will be shows and movies that are only exists as pirated versions. With things

The thing I find most hypocritical though is that they are probably never share their libraries with anyone. After scanning, downloading, stealing, overloading websites and everything in between, to acquire enough data for their stupid mach

It has to be extremely dark though, or maybe mine has a worse than normal backlight. Other models are much better, it's just the F-91W. The fact that Casio is well aware that the backlight is just terrible, but haven't fixed it in

I'll probably be in the minority, but my phone can't track my steps, because I don't have it with me all the time, but my watch is on my wrist. The fitbit requires a Google account, so that's going to be a big no. The Ca

A watch like the F-91W is a bit wonky in terms of the buttons. You're right the 24/12h makes no sense, who needs to switch between those two options regularly? The backlight button is also questionable, because it's not entir

But they are revolting against those who are advertising the Meta Ray-Bans and the stores that sells them. My confusion is: Why does it stop there? Why isn't the protests aimed at Ray Ban?

Yeah, that was rather disappointing. I wouldn't have minded that the Linux driver had been used as an input, allowing Claude to reason about the functionality and interface. That seems like a reasonable approach. The "only built f

Currently there's a massive, and understandable, backlash against the Meta/Ray-Ban glasses, but I can't understand how it's not absolutely destroying the Ray-Ban brand? Influencers and stores are damaging their brands by

That's is something I did not consider, the model using the existing comments as input. Comments that it may itself have written.

This seems like a non-issue, or maybe I have the wrong expectations about writing. You write a text, ask Claude to proof-read it, but then you wholesale just copy Claudes output and use that as the final text? Wouldn't you review the c

You risk that it becomes like legal, where the lawyers are concerned with "what you can legally get away with", not what's right. If this person previously worked at Meta, then their experience in guiding company ethics isn&#

Do you think it's the internet that introduces the net negatives, or is it just that there are less obstacles and makes bad behaviour surface more easily? There shouldn't really be a problem with online job postings, but when peop

Somewhat off-topic: When writing like this, explain your abbreviations and who the various people and companies are. PE Target? Price to Earnings Target, that makes no sense. Perhaps Physical Education, no, that's not right either. 10-

Functionally I suppose it's the same thing, but are they paying for access to Truth Social, or early access to Trumps posts? Are there anything else of "value" on Truth Social. I haven't signed up for Truth Social, but i

As someone else pointed out, it's not about the scammers. The scammers could however be hampered if the phone system was safer. There's no reason why the phone system should allow my number to be spoofed, but that's what happ

Even with the /s I think you misunderstand. If you just want to configure your router, then AI is neat. If you want to learn and understand what's going on in the router as you set it up, then being given the answers basically tea

It might just be me, but when the US decides to do something like requiring age verification on porn sites it feels half-hearted, sort of stupid and mostly annoying. When the EU does it, it feels naive, overreaching, bureaucratic, mostly ha

Might there be so many indie studios competing for the same financing? So they can get financing for smaller games, because investors can just bet on 50 eclectic puzzle games, and if one takes off that will cover their investment, but they

Sure, but again comparing it to the SE, which I consider the better form factor, it's 1.7mm thinner. Unless you count the camera bump, in which case the SE is thinner. The SE also have a small camera bump ~2mm, so 9.3mm max thickness,

It's $1378.35 where I live and yes that is including tax, if I have to pay it at the store, I count is as part of the price of the phone. It's kinda hard to see which use case that would defend that price. It is in the end a consu
