This isn't specifically related to this database (since it doesn't contain recipes), but how cool would it be to finetune a GPT model on hundreds of thousands of recipes and have it generate new ones to try.

Obviously the idea of Firefox OS is great. It's successor KaiOS (fork of Firefox OS) is the third most popular mobile OS with hundreds of millions of users. I think what OP was saying is that Mozilla is so poorly managed that they took

What I'm guessing will happen if Uber/Lyft are forced to treat drivers as employees is that those driving full-time will be hired and everyone else will be let go. The employees will lose some control over what hours they work and

I feel like you can just look at what China or N. Korea are doing to see the downsides.

In practice there is no scalable way for the government to check everyone's security box every second. However, it is possible for them to scan every message sent in real time and past leaks have shown that they will if given the oppor

I'm not sure but I get the feeling that Snapchat is on the decline. Their killer feature was stories but now every app has those (notably Instagram stories seem very popular).

I do expect TikTok to lose users after Microsoft acquires it. But not because of anything Microsoft might do. TikTok just seems like a fad social network that will inevitably lose the cool factor eventually.

Maybe management don't want to admit to shareholders that they made a horrible mistake.

In practice, I think iOS users will just move on to the next social networking app and forget that TikTok ever existed.

I believe that all of Google's services are blocked in China, so they wouldn't have that data.

Yeah, I always thought it was because I use a VPN but maybe not.

I think the trouble is that it's really hard to start a new social network from scratch, so when Facebook wants to compete in a new segment they just tack on the feature to one of their existing social products. However, as you pointed

There are plenty of U.S. social networks where people follow ideas and not people. Reddit is one of the big ones.

Yes, GPT-2 could also do that. It generally works best if you give it some examples to start off. For example, I actually ran the following prompt through the full GPT-2. Everything after "How long ago did Elasmosaurus live?" is G

I would expect military to be one of the more popular departments.

Do people really use gasoline for heating and AC? I've never seen that. Also can't the rest of those things just use an alternate fuel.

What I do is use credit cards to cover emergency expenses and then sell some of my bond ETFs to pay the loan after a few days. That way I get to earn 2/3% interest and have liquid access to my money.

At least their apps are pretty DE agnostic. I use them on Cinnamon mainly and sometimes Windows.

Most 13 and 14 inch laptops don't have the numpad. But it's difficult to find a 15+ inch laptop without the numpad for under $1k.

I really appreciate the 91Wh battery on the 15 inch. I was looking at buying a Dell XPS 15 but they shrunk the battery size this year.

I use my Kindle as a dedicated Reddit and HN machine before bed and it is pretty great.

If you give it some text and tack "TLDR" on the end then it will give you a summary of the text.

Lots of use cases aren't covered by a self-hosted VPN. Public VPN servers allow you to blend in with other traffic coming from a shared IP giving you plausible deniability for things like piracy.

I always imagined that companies that have their stock price "pop" after IPO would've been better off doing a DPO instead (like Spotify) since they would've gotten more money.

Not OP, but I'm guessing because it's easier to remember than completely random email address (password manager might solve this?) and more unique than using the same email everywhere.

I like EVs but the biggest thing that prevents me from buying one is range anxiety. I say this because I think it's funny that you consider having to visit gas stations a weakness of ICE, when I consider it the only reason to still own

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there is any law that says businesses have to add sales tax on separately. Since it's the business who actually pays the tax not the consumer they could just take it out of their own profits
