Are you willing to share your script? I'd like to compare it to mine to see if I've missed anything. Thanks!

There's also the issue that SD/MJ-generated images cannot be copyrighted in the US.

We specifically use an app called White Noise for this type of thing. It has all the noise colors (I prefer pink noise), doesn't stream, and plays without ads.

Something I've wondered about is how CAPTCHAs are ADA-compliant. Ironically, this tech may end up helping people who are impaired from doing CAPTCHAs use websites. Just the other day, I watched a friend of mine who has vision health issues do several CAPTCHA rounds to use a state website.

Edit: There's various efforts: https://captcha.com/captcha-accessibility.html

My recollection is that there were also scoring changes for the SAT in 2010s that significantly reduced its predictive power.

For private mobile filtering, some folks do something along the lines of:

* $5/month VPS running Wireguard and pihole

* Use iOS/Android Wireguard app to route all traffic through VPS with local VPS pihole as your Wireguard DNS server.

Write a letter canceling your account and send it via certified mail to their legal correspondence address.

(IANAL) Given the US Copyright Office's guidance on the lack of protection for AI generated art, doesn't this tool harm the ability of artists/photographers/agencies to protect their works? Will people starting blanket stealing of content using the "It was AI generated." defense?

Mazda rightly banned touchscreens awhile ago.

Pair it with .sys for the perfect Windows combo.

Efficient for what, though? It's certainly faster for rote recording of information, but I learn complex information in less time when I hand-write it out. Also, you have to be really well-practiced in LaTeX math packages to type arbitrary math well. Hand-writing math is much more straightforward with limited learning time.

I used to be like that, but am now more of a finisher. It's habit you have learn and then consistently practice. It includes learning to be done vs perfect ("perfect is the enemy of good"). Sometimes perfect is important to finishing, sometimes not. It's also important to know when to let things go. Sometimes a project's time has passed. To get started with the practice, start with a small thing you've started, take the mindset "I'm going to practice finishing", and then finish it. The first few times will be hard, but you'll get better every time you go all the way through to finish.

Amazon apparently reached out on the thread:

Fun with caveats I'm finding. Today I asked for an outline of DevSecOps concept based on CISA recommendations. The CISA doc it referenced doesn't actually exist.

This sounds a little like Licella's CaT-HR technology for breaking down different plastics into compounds that can be used as industrial inputs.

I built a pipeline to go from a novel file in Apple Pages to finished Kindle Book and PDFs in various sizes, both with proper scene breaks, etc.

In interviews, (US) General Stanley McChrystal has said he prefers backgammon to chess because it involves both strategy and chance.

Heh. So, we did a similar two loan structure back in 2004. It got us into the house, but paying both loans at once was stressful for several years until the family income finally caught up enough to provide a comfortable margin of safety.

Yes. I've seen its tides in person. It's almost unreal. Boats go from sitting on their sides on dry land to floating in 3+m of water and back every tidal cycle.

The affect of sea level rise on the Bay of Fundy is going to be... interesting.

Apple's new weather app is fun lately. My SO and I will sit next to each other on the couch, each with the new Apple weather app open to our town. The two instances of the app will show contradictory information. In most cases, neither instance of the app reflects what's actually going on outside. We live just outside a major city so it's not like we're in an unknown area. Needless to say, I really miss Dark Sky and mostly use the NWS mobile site now. -_-

To this day, martial arts like Aikido incorporate a shout (in Aikido, it's called "kiai") to boost the impact of a move.

This wonderful article made my day!

It seems these days that using Jira is primarily about making work legible in large orgs.

Honestly, this is perhaps more of a "talk to your lawyer" thing than an HN thing.
