I mean, there's always Snipping Tool but the images are more authentic in the original JPEG.

Mostly agree, but also - if someone's genuinely new to phones, they might not actually know what's possible that they might want to do. You have to be a little bit opinionated on how to use the phone, at least until they know enou

What if the individual Minecraft expert was themselves? I mean, having been singlehandedly responsible for team efforts in the past, I get it. :D

Yeah, it lagged a bit when it first came out. It still (eventually, when it got around to it) responded to your keystrokes in the order you made them, though. Also the Spotlight-style search built into the start menu was far better than jus

Windows 7 is still the best version of Windows in terms of responding to keystrokes and being navigable using keyboard shortcuts. I don't know how they fumbled the design of both the logon screen and the start menu search box so hard

Is letting an agent use grep not a form of RAG? I know usually RAG is done with vector databases but grep is definitely a form of retrieval, and it’s augmenting the generation.

Can I use POP3 to access Gmail? No. Ah okay, IMAP then? Also no. Edit: Ohhh. According to other posts it’s about gmail not pulling email from other servers via POP3, not about accessing gmail.

What does “maximum possible voltage” mean for a solar panel? Do you include things like cloud edge effect (which increases incident light beyond direct sunlight?) What about installs with a nearby window reflecting light onto the panel? Do

What we’re seeing here is the mismatch between component level specs and end user ratings. A device which is rated to 24V input power will probably tolerate up to 32V and it surviving 60V would not be uncommon. A component with a Vmax of 24

We kinda... do? Draw the line there, I mean. Reverse engineering, as I've always heard the term used, is taking the final artifact and working backwards to infer the original design, and ideally some of the reasons for the decisions ma

Yeah, the results were really that much better than any other engine. The fast minimalist design was also a selling point, though.

They'd export it to Earth in exchange for other necessities. Airship parts, water, protein bars, TV shows. Earth would then use the deuterium for its 'free unlimited energy' fusion reactors.

Ok, so this is all leading to one very specific place: An anarchic society of steampunk airships harvesting Deuterium from the shirtsleeve zone in Venus’ upper atmosphere.

I played around with a trial of the generative design stuff in Fusion, and my biggest takeaway was that it’s at least as much work to set up all your loads and attachment points and keep-outs and so forth as it is to just model the part mys

STEP files do store higher level geometry data than STLs, making it possible to accurately modify the imported data in parametric modeling software like Fusion, so in that sense they’re “parametric compatible”? They don’t store the design h

Hard to tell but from the videos and the described toolchain it sounds like the video is actually completely 2D and they're just presenting it inside a 'holographic' environment. Think of it like a model theatre with a Pepper

I'd assumed it was actually a parallax barrier, possibly with a lenticular sheet in front of it to help fill in the gaps, but yeah it could just be lenticular like those "3D" photos with the plastic lens sheet in front of the

Digging through their web page, are one point they describe it as “multi-view parallax” which I’m interpreting as a parallax barrier based display, providing different views depending on view angle. The background environment is static, and

You're just moving the question from "confused" to "think", and I think you're also conflating "to be confused" (which was what I said) with "to feel confused" (which is a whole other thing.
