Older, but I love me some Zachtronics.

Thank you! that could easily be it. I use browsers like Zen and Vanadium so I might be triggering an issue.

its funny because I still had a couple of your links queued up from a few days ago. I was waiting for the server to get unhugged :D

I am not an expert at all but I believe the rough idea is that in General Relativity, everything follows a geodesic. The straightest possible path through curved spacetime.

They use that to explain why you don't feel acceleration when you jump off a building or out of a plane.

They say you DO feel it when you are standing, because the earth is impeding you and pushing you away from the geodesic you naturally want to follow.

So it is counterintuitive. the standing still person is being accelerated/pushed. The freefall person is free.

John wheeler said "Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve". I think it explains the circular nature.

Mass curves spacetime, that changes how mass moves , mass moving to a new position changes the curvature, that changes how the mass will move next. The dimple in the mattress staying with the mass.

I would love to see it. Pretty much everything we looked at was over-engineered and AI integrated. Now, we have something simple but it is overpriced because the simplicity is now a differentiator.

I had a recent files plugin but bases let me remove it.

I have a "system" base that I put on the ribbon. it defaults to "recently created", but I have a bunch of different views for hunting down anomalies too.

Bingo. A Kobo which never touches the internet and uses only epubs and PDFs. I should have done it ages ago.

I didn't believe they would break the social contract and I was wrong.

I lost so much in money and notes when they decided the books I bought "to own" were now considered "licensed".

They changed the encryption on most of the newer ones so I couldn't even retrieve most.

They also took away USB transfer so I couldn't use the library system in the way I liked.

Now? I own a Kobo which will never touch the internet for the rest of its life and it only contains epubs. One day, Kobo/Rakuten will likely do the same.

I am not too familiar with these people. "preorder" is like a kickstarter ? One of those LEAN exploratory things?

They have no product that they can demo but they expect payment in full?

Are they white-labeling this or do they plan to design it if there is interest and ship it "eventually" ?

my first one was junk essentially. I don't even think the host was there. They said they were streaming music videos, which is already questionable. Instead they were streaming an interview with a music artist.

in general its pulling from training data so the first numbers picked are always going to be pretty similar. The AI is worried about not providing variety (for example picking 7 for 10 rounds) so it says to check the chat for context on round 2.

on round 3+ it feels like it solved the problem and doesn't need to evaluate anymore and it inadvertently uses more effort to create something less random

I did something similar.

When I started, AWS was in its infancy and I was just some guy working on a special project.

Now that same account is bound into an AWS Organization.

AWS Changed. My company changed. the policies change out from under you.

if your movie collection is big enough that might be really useful for language learning. Create your own frequency lists and common phrases. I would be curious how it stacks up against the written word.

payment would need a delay too. Pay $10 and then wait a week or so for the payment to clear without it being reversed. Hopefully that stops the card stealers from dumping as much as possible before getting booted.

Could we just add complex and varied captcha to the comment & posting forms?

His backup plan prior to the event had large obvious issues.

His backup plan after the fact seems suspicious as well because he is making it much harder than it has to be.

Between that and a glance at the home page, it feels like someone doing AI vibe work who is not comfortable in the space they are working.

Who is the intended audience? Other vibe coders? I just think its weird that given his backup solution, he likely asked the AI to create it . whatever hot-wash he did for this event was invalidated.

The registrars I use are limited because of KYC. the network of registrars under dropcatch all require KYC. Many of the auction sites require KYC.

The problem is they hold faces+IDs indefinitely and the ones I needed have breach issues along with indicators of top of the line 2005 era security practices.

So for me, its less about the KYC and more about their inability to KYC responsibly.

I thought "surely they wouldn't ...." The issues in the article are more blatant. You were right and caught it extremely quickly.

please make the translated text a little bigger. On a phone at that speed, it can be hard to read.

You need an optional login. Forcing me to login before I know who or what you are is a deal breaker. Especially if you come here looking for an opinion. My opinion is free. My PII is not as free.

Love Zen.

I am not sure it fixed my tab problem, but it improved tab management and overall efficiency.

Omnivore helped a bunch before they shut down. I need to see if any good apps exist that are similar.

early pearl was just about having an awesome tool at your disposal. There was minimal code written in a team environment.

People were still amazed that you could do X in 1 line rather than 100 lines. Some people couldn't have done those 100 lines.

So the idea of recipes/spells/hacks was an intentional parallel.

It became a cultural thing. New people wanted to be respected for compact code that impressed people the same way they were impressed.

I picked it up :) Your passion for it and the care you put into it makes me want to read it.

Will do ! Thank you.

I would love to hear more about your point of view. I love science fiction but short stories always feel off the mark to me. Either fluff that shouldn't have been written, or something so good it's bitter-sweet that you read it and nothing more will come of it. Where did your obsession and love for the format come from?

I was just just interested in how your "say no" lesson came from the streaming site. I am sure they asked you for all sorts of channels, but from their perspective, I kind of understand it. I had really wondered what kind of crazy of stuff you were shooting down. I didn't expect anyone to go too crazy on expecting feature requests on a pirate site.

inulin? beneficial if your gut microbiome is functioning well. There have been some recent studies that found dietary fiber is protective of the liver as well by preventing fructose fat deposits from building up. It also doesn't taste too bad. A tiny little bit of something semi-sweet.
