I saw this post at the exact same time I ran across this elsewhere: https://www.phonearena.com/news/pixel-6-7-8-9-10-battery-dra... There's no way to definitively say they're cause and effect but also....

It's just the social app being killed off, no? Wouldn't this line up with rumors that they'll soon let you create videos inside of chatgpt itself? I wish the actual video model would die but I assume this news is not that.

Hilarious that anyone would think the most literally average output of a thing would be capable of selling said thing. Of course it'll take more salespeople to sell a very mid product (not a comment on AI/LLMs in general, just the

I moved to a self-hosted Wallabag ( https://wallabag.org/ ) after Pocket shut down. Not the sexiest but does everything I need it to. It has Chrome/Firefox extensions for saving open tabs.

That's fair actually. I wrote this comment a little off the cuff and rereading the article (it's been a while since I wrote it!) it's more like a strong plurality, so overwhelming was a bit much

I've been here since 2015 with the pm2.5 getting noticably worse from 2017 onwards. Hard to tie it to any degradation in health. I have air purifiers at home and wear N95 whenever I go out and it's bad. I know there were a few big

I live in Bangkok and we also get inversions during the "cold" (for Thailand haha) season, the same time that farms slash and burn, making this the worst time of year for our air quality as well. It's much better this year bu

It's just an id. But the audio is stored on the yoto itself for offline play. And second the blank/customizable cards, that's what 80% of our cards are and my daughter loves helping track down and extract content. Biggest hit

That's hilarious. The one I always notice is ก getting romanized as a K, ie Kanchanaburi or กานต์ becoming Karn.

I live in Thailand and I cannot get over the fact that romanization is (seemingly?) completely unstandardized. Even government signage uses different English spelling of Thai words.

It's such a difficult vertical to track because there isn't always a clear start and end condition. Drafts get passed around, edited, revised, and cleared by different teams, sometimes with a mixture of writing from in-house, free

I'm a full time copywriter for SaaS companies and I'm actually finding the opposite. My experience is people are having AI write stuff then trying to massage it themselves. When they can't get it to a point where they're
