Google Photos can already do this pretty well. I use the feature daily without friction. Sometimes, but not always, it can even pull text from receipts I photograph, which is handy for expense reporting.

Some, yes. Adobe products also widely used. Fun story from a friend who worked on Dune 1: Big films like Dune can push these products to their limits in unexpected ways. Avid product support apparently can dispatch live humans to your works

It is absolutely in America's interest. For less than 0.01% of the defense budget, the USA can disarm Russia as a threat for another 50 years, if not forever. The ROI looks pretty good: 1. Bolster NATO (Sweden and Finland have joined a

Yeah, I remember Tesla's "who needs LIDAR" announcement coming in the middle of a pandemic supply chain crunch, especially from chips needed for those LIDAR arrays.

Yes, this video also had a great historical breakdown and context about what's going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URoVKPVDKPU Everything Wendover Productions makes is so helpful!

The leaders of Boeing are clearly fumbling the ball, paying themselves more than ever, shitting on their labor and supply chain sub-contractors, all while costing ME as a taxpayer and occasional user more money and stress than ever. Such a

Lol the Disney+ app UX is honestly terrible. Not to mention the regular app crashes on apple devices. Disney has _how_ much money to spend on their streaming services technology stack and they just... don't? Just feels like they'l

The US government currently is inhabited by one political party whose goal is to hinder US interests in any way possible while complaining that the US doesn’t do enough to bolster said interests. So yes, part of the government is serious, w

I think this cheeky habit of biologists also deserves a mention: naming newly discovered organisms after friends or foes, depending on how they feel about those people at the time. Here is the first of four separate wikipedia pages dedicate

Agreed. If it's the one I'm thinking, it is absolutely a dangerous place to be in bad weather.

So you're saying my original comment could be clarified to something like, "you have the US and UK taxpayers to thank for this industry, lest anyone forgets"?

Fealty is acknowledgment of loyalty, which is not what my my post suggests at all. If you were the son of a fascist, would you not still tell people the truth about your dad even if you told him to shove it long ago?

We use ours at least 2x/day, and we are about 6 months in. It gets rid of heat well and heats up quick. My biggest gripe is I can't turn down the volume of the beeps it makes.

I love this idea and the competition is fierce from Chinese companies. Check out Robam’s combi ovens, like this one: https://robamliving.com/collections/steam-oven/products/roba... This thing can toast, steam

Not all modal editors are created equal? Once fluent in vim, I could literally get more done in the same amount of time, but YMMV.

Had an awesome experience with a Hertz Polestar in Italy last summer. The trim was basic, but the suspension was superior to a Tesla, especially on Italian roads. Road noise was average at highway speeds with the cheaper trim.
