The sense of NIH is from Serenity, and that was probably the reason for Jakt's existence too. Now it's spun off into its own project there is a lot more pragmatism.

You talk about myths and then quote vague guesses of 50% without sourcing.

OP is probably talking about pre-entry authorisation (ESTA) which is required by the US and will soon be required in UK, Europe, Japan etc. it's not a full on visa with lots of paperwork but it does eliminate the risk of someone showin

Proof of onward journey is almost certainly required, even if they don't always ask for it. Your airline might require it.

by rjh29 8mo ago
The 10 day transit visa explicitly required proof of onward journey and it couldn't be the same place you came from. That's the kicker. The current policy allows round trip visits anywhere for 30 days.

I assume that's a Gemini LLM response? You can tell Gemini is bullshitting when it starts using "often" or "usually" - like in this case "TPUs often come with large amounts of memory". Either they did or t

Nice thanks. I guess this requires manual entry of glyphs, while the other one just works with arabic numerals.

It's literally just a folder of markdown notes with a handy search and file list if that's what you want it to be. That's all I use it for. I think the hyper-organisation stuff is more of a hobby. It's not about producti

AI art is massively downvoted here and on Reddit, but boomers on facebook seem happy to share it. So I think you'll do better on other platforms. The opinion of AI generated creative work is just very low here. I personally agree, I&#x

Surprising there isn't a better way to do it than defining 10000 ligature config lines and 10000 glyphs. I guess dynamic combinations of subglyphs are a Unicode level thing?

The Take On Me chorus has a two octave range in full voice (A2 to A4) and a falsetto at E5. I think it's harder to find people who can sing that chorus A2-A4 consistently than to find people who can squeak out a falsetto at E5. Yet the

Yes. Ironically the non-falsetto portion (low and high notes, particularly belted in the last chorus) is much harder than the falsetto note. Most singers can do the falsetto note. But for whatever reason that impresses people more.

I don't think Steve Perry ever pitched down his vocals. IMO there are two types of singer, ones with good technique (due to practice or genetics) who can sing easily, and those who have to really force notes out in the studio (relying

It's not fine at all? Before social media the average was 28 hours a week of viewing per person, obviously a non negligible percent of people watch TV for 100% of their free time. Modern social media is even more addictive - always wit

One argument (while unsatisfying) is there are trillions of possible configurations, but ours is the one that happened to work which is why we're here to observe it. Changing any of them even a little bit would result in an empty unive

youtube's algorithm seems to be "oh you watched this video? now here's every other video by this creator, pretty much without a break, until you downvote it" It never reliably gives me videos similar but not exactly the

Because they "have" to have the nice display or good battery life I guess. Everyone has different priorities. Personally for me it's Linux or nothing.

Clickhouse supports MySQL protocol natively, and can also wrap/import MySQL tables. Okay so you need two connections but it works pretty well.

That's a third party paid addon. Hardly a fair comparison.

That sounds unreliable as cache can disappear. A regular mobile app would be safer.

Lol what the heck? Both UK and France are getting yellow flags because of terrorism. Seems absurd to me but perhaps it's good to get multiple viewpoints.

Qt is still pretty good, but it's dated in comparison to newer frameworks like Flutter and React Native. No hot reloading of changes, manual widget management vs. React where you just re-define the whole UI every frame and it handles c

In America perhaps. Android is more popular in other countries, most people I know use Anki for free. The desktop app and sync are useful for editing cards and managing a large collection. Both of those are free too, but for how long?

I think that's true. Alcohol addiction modifies the brain and it can take over a year to recover dopamine sensitivity, focus, mood, cognitive ability. It's called PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome). Given TikTok etc. has a simi
