Agree, but also - what if they aren’t declined and that’s just the way they were all along?

I have a coworker who’s a total idea factory, but struggles to communicate their ideas clearly. They’ve found LLMs grestly help writing their ideas in a way others can understand.

TBH, I am not that fond of the idea. After all, if a LLM can write what I do there’s not really a need for me. But I also wonder if I’m gatekeeping a bit. Even if I have a hard time empathizing with the situation, I understand that we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Maybe they’re just using a LLM to help fill in one of their weaknesses?

I upgraded from my pixel 3a last December after 5 years. To be honest, most of the performance gains are unnoticeable to me as I don’t game and use pretty light apps.

I was wondering why our clear skies the past few days looked like they had a layer of lake effect cloud cover. This also explains that.

Lead with a shower then have a clean bath?

You’re right that phillips screws are prone to cam out if theres a size mismatch, but it doesn’t stop there. Apply too much torque or have a misshapen screw head or bit and you’re out of luck.

Making a community is easy. Keeping it fed with content takes a certain level of critical mass :(

I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?

Gay marriage is presently legal in the US at a federal level due to a Supreme Court ruling, not a law. It seems inevitable that this will change given the present makeup of the court, similar to abortion.

I am all for LGBTQ rights, but until something is passed by Congress the current situation seems precarious.

To build on top of this excellent reply, put some fiberglass on top of the wood if you to the two part epoxy route. It should be transparent when done and you’ll get a more ridgid and ding proof surface. That’s why many wooden water vehicles have a layer of fiberglass embedded into their epoxy.

Oh, you’re right. I wonder if they will start contributing to webkit as a result.

I’m also happy that Chromium’s total ~75% share, once you lump in edge, opera, brave, etc might maybe get chipped away a little.

Are you talking about Yandax? They announced that they’re getting out of Russia.

I do wonder why they’re not building on top of an open source engine or making their own engine open. We absolutely need an alternative to Chromium. It’s sad that this likely won’t be it.

Probably because they’re building their own engine from scratch. Many of the popular browsers these days are built on Chromium or Webkit. The only “big” alternative these days is Gecko, which is what Firefox uses.

This matters because Chromium based browsers make up the vast majority of usage and Google has been using Chromium to drive web standards in the direction they think they should go.

Wikipedia has an overview, but doesn’t really cover Chromium’s market capture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines

Counterpoint: I make a point of carrying a dedicated camera with me most places on the weekend, but unusual have a 35mm or 50mm prime on it unless I’m shooting youth sports.

Very few residences have proper ventilation. In the US, a microwave above the stove is common. Microwave often do have a fan function, but the vast majority don’t vent outdoors. I doubt that running air through a very thin filter will do much good.

Ditto. Extensions and what not all magically follow along too, it’s nice.

In the case of the universal media server there wasn’t a need for an app. The PS3 found it on the network and it showed up under the media UI thing.

Very nice. Did you pull the switches apart to fiddle with the springs? I’ve never seen that many, or really any, springs in the same photo as a mechanical keyboard before.

Totally agree! Let’s celebrate the journey and not just the destination. Oftentimes, the journey is more interesting and you might not ever make it to the destination.

Go for it! Those sound like things I would be interested in reading about.

I’ve been (slowly) battling making a hand powered generator with one of my kids who’s fascinated by these kinds of things. I am going to try to put together a post describing where we are, why progress is currently stopped, and what I’m doing to try to get over the hurdle.

Years ago, I ran a universal media server that my PS3 interacted with fine. Granted, the UI was a bit clunky (folder and file based) but it worked. I haven’t locally hosted any media in a while. Does the PS5 no longer support this type of solution?

I could see that. We have a pretty old TV, so we don’t have a need for things like HDR.
