I was going to say you couldn't pay me to use Notes again. I went to the link you posted and here was on the top carousel something interesting... So domini/notes is under active development, by a witch company no less.

I just have a terrible experience using Notes. I have either somehow erased or locked away most of this memory but I remember getting back to Outlook with a job at a different place and thinking I'll never bad mouth excel again. Yes, notes was that terrible for me.

When I hear "mozilla" I remember the event I went to where apparently some board members decided to come after all and the employees / contractors were panicking to make sure everything was perfectly presentable. The food catering, the cleanliness...

to me, the word mozilla reminds me of the ueeless board members.

But that was “The Exorcist.” A film. (Maybe?) An old movie, at least. The “Transformers” franchise, which has grossed more than $5 billion across six films, was more like … I.P. (Michael Bay, the “Transformers” producer, declined to comment on Dr. Howard’s decorating choices or the neighbors’ reaction.)

I imagine at USD 25k a pop, he has the whole IP thing squared away.

I personally don't have any insider information but just wanted to add what your saying fits with the meta on the gaming community side where commentators are frustrated that nVidia has so much hubris that they think they can just sell essentially last generation level technology without the step up (I think it was 3xxx vs 4xxx or something like that where you'd expect the 4060Ti to be at least as good as 3070Ti) and just trying to make up for it in "software".

It probably takes a lot of confidence in your software developers to make this kind of decisions.

Disclaimer: I was a non paying user and used it just to try out some code in dotnet entity framework and postgresql (at $work I only ever get to touch sql server but for hobby projects I thought it would be nice to do something that doesn't require paying Microsoft).

Bit io is awesome. It just works. I mean so does elephant but bitio has more storage. I never got very far with my learning and never did tadvanced db concepts like cross apply though so it was just simple entities and tables but it worked just fine and the best part, no credit card required on file.

Fly sounds nice but I don't feel so good about having to give them my credit card number...

It is a balancing act.

they don’t want their citizens to be poorer

If this was true, we would have walkable and bike able cities...

I feel like there is a lot of misinformation when it comes to bans. No one is coming to your house to take away your existing cars and trucks as far as I know. We are talking about disincentivizing new sales after a certain date.

I realized what it was because of the reply comment but I clicked it anyways because I am on Mozilla Firefox and by default YouTube videos don't autoplay.

iirc Google Chrome has some bizzare byzantine(?) rule engine that determines whether a website is allowed to autoplay and I suspect (with no evidence) that the rules are set up so YouTube can autoplay videos without prompting the user.

I don't remember all the details but imgur used to have some pretty strict limits. iirc you could only upload 250 images on a free account?

I was wrong. It was worse. 75 was the limit for free users. I think I never reached the limit until they upped it to 225.

In order to get ready for upcoming features, the number of recent images a regular user can have in his/her account has been raised from 75 to 225. Keep in mind that you will still be able to upload more if you go over the limit, it’s just that the older images will be hidden from the account (not deleted!). This is great news, because now you can create even more albums and share all your images at once.

Also, imgur pro accounts have just been made cheaper! A 1 year imgur subscription is now cheaper than any other comparable photo service, including Flickr, Photobucket and ImageShack. With imgur pro, not only is there no limit to the amount of images you can have in your account, there is absolutely no compression, and your images are not modified in any way if they are under 5MB in size.

I'd spin this the other way round, even in the US it is unlawful to not disclose that you are advertising:

From your link:

In the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission said in 2017 that influencers on social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram “should clearly and conspicuously disclose” any paid work to promote a product or service.

Sponsored posts should be clearly labeled, at the very least

I have charter/spectrum but not by choice. If I were buying/building a house, I would give preference to places that have fiber.

If an ad for a depression medicine on the tv has time to say crazy things like “side effects may include depression, […] and death”, I am sure Charter and Comcast have enough time to say that their gigabit coax service is only gigabit for downloads, not for uploads.

I don't think that number means anything.

1. Looking at the article, it looks like a proposal, not actual spending 2. Even if you spend it, I doubt the people get any of that money. Are these shelters paying market rate for their real estate? Some weird local property taxes that get absorbed right back?

I think overall, like many problems this one is something we should handle at a federal level.

I just saw some clickbait article this week that said by some metric I don't remember, desktop safari moved to number two (presumably number one is Google Chrome) beating Microsoft Edge.

I remember how reaction was relatively swift with Apple and book publishers' illegal collusion even though Apple was not a major player yet, or maybe I am just wrong on this which is possible, I didn't follow the news closely.

In any case, I think Microsoft is doing a fine job by itself getting people turned off on edge by adding all sorts of bloatware that I doubt people will use edge as their only web browser.

So far LLMs will just make up bullshit rather than say they don't know

No, my experiment has nothing to do with machine learning. I am proposing we lie to the judges and tell them one is a person and one is a machine when in fact they will both be humans.

How often will the human judges fight against the question at hand and say they are both humans?

edit: in my experiment, a judge is a human who has access to two chats at the same time and we tell the human that one of the two chats is a human and the other is a machine. The judge has to decide which is which.

    Put a lone human in one closed, isolated room, and a machine in a different one. You only have a text-chat interface to each of them (as per Turing's original Imitation Game set-up).
    Start a conversation by saying hello and asking a random question.
    After receiving a satisfactory answer (which you can ignore), simply wait for an hour, 12 hours, 48 hours, 1 month.

I want to ask a similar but simpler question.

» Put a lone human in one closed, isolated room, and another lone human in a different one. You only have a text-chat interface to each of them (as per Turing's original Imitation Game set-up).

Now would people when given the question, which one is a person and which one is a machine be able ignore the question asked and tell they are both humans?

» As an example third party Reddit apps largely are single platform.

I don't have skin in this conversation but I just want to call out your fallacy here.

It is kind of cheating a little to give reddit apps as an example here because as long as you can get on reddit somehow, you are a part of the network. You don't have to use the same app as the other guy...

My guess is that Lego customers are also increasingly older.

I mean look at the millennium falcon.

When I think of fancy lego, I think of something like this https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-medium-creative-bric... because it has wheels and stuff, not just bricks.

I would have imagined "regular" lego was just different sizes of bricks, not even a sloped "roof" brick or wheels.

Also I think "made in USA" might help sales in the US and at the very least calms investors?

Makes me think of the portal song

for the people who are still alive

The test subjects who are already dead don’t matter. GlaDOS, on the other hand, must continue to make choices in which experiments and test subjects will deliver the best bang for the buck.

My guess when I read your.online was that it is similar to Apple’s “find my”.

Find My from my understanding is basically a way to put three apps in one: find my {devices, people, items}.

So I read find my as find my ______. Not sure if this is the intention but my guess is your online could mean your online ________? Like your online identity, your online brand, your online business, your online services?

Find My is an asset tracking app and service provided by Apple Inc.[1] that enables users to track the location of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS devices, AirPods, AirTags and a number of supported third-party accessories through a connected iCloud account.[2] Users can also share their GPS locations to others with Apple devices and view the location of others who choose to share their location. Find My was released alongside iOS 13 on September 19, 2019,[3][4] merging the functions of the former Find My iPhone (known on macOS devices as Find My Mac) into a single app.[5][6] On watchOS, Find My is separated into three different applications: Find Devices, Find People and Find Items.

Btw, off topic but I’ve never heard of this other entity Gandi is merging with and the only reason I even know about gandi is it is in the install and set up steps of Mozilla thunderbird.

I have a much older car from 2007 so no Android Auto or Apple Carplay for me but I thought I was supposed to sit there after I start my car for at least half a minute?

Maybe not needed for newer cars?

I start the car and wait for the dashcam to chime. I start driving once it chimes. I have an older Aukey, not hard wired, so it takes about half a minute for it to chime which I thought was perfect timing.
