great stuff!!

wish there was sth lk this this side of the pond

what a strange game of chicken, why xan’t amzn, msft, et al just contain their infra within euro borders and call it a day? after all the word multi in multinational does not oblige companies to stop selling in Europe, or?

so, from a PT-PT perspective, I guess I can understand, the clanker begins in PT-BR. After I instruct it to switch to PT-PT, it starts mixing formal and informal phrase constructions (think like the German Du and Sie forms) which is odd but then becomes really jarring with the accent/tone which is sounds mechanical and robotic unlike the uncanny valley of gemini or openAI models. Anyways, I like the app and can imagine interesting use cases while abroad!

til, thx

do you have concrete examples willing to share?

JPEG ME

I would love to see these nvidia designs as mere statistical correlations of graphic card design.

believers explanations necessary possible and all…

what a strange world, guess iPhones will cost a million bucks now

I don’t fully trust iCloud Drive / Photos therefore I use FSViewer to download all photos from my iOS device du jour (making sure to keep the HEIF formats), this way I get the Edited (slo-mo, live, portrait, usw) and pristine versions as Jobs intended. All kidding aside, after the gray area gate of 2017-2021 I had to find a more reliable backup workflow. As of today I only use iCloud Drive / Photos to extract some RAW photos that for some reason some picky apps don’t save to the photo album (looking at you ProCam 8.0). I made several tests including hash comparisons and imagemagick diffs and I am quite pleased.

this is so good

what about that mass grave site … asking for a friedn

it’s never the right time, not everyone deserves to have kids, and not every kid deserves the parents they got, still, it has to be part of the meaning of life, to see something that is your blood, discover, play, become a responsible adult and one day hopefully decided that it is worth to also have children of their own

happy 2026

Fiction:

“There is no antimimetic division”,

“Project hail mary”,

“Permutation city”,

“White noise”,

and non-fiction:

“Measurement”,

“The sovereign child”,

“Don’t die”,

“The basic laws of human stupidity”,

…and I think I am forgetting something

I’ve read the older version and really liked it, strange ending and all, and I’ve gifted the new version for X-mas. My xmas wish list is for a 6 episode mini-series funded by the fruit company.

they’re so eerily prescient

fantastic story thru and thru, thumbs up!!!

I’ve seen 3 and 4 in Europe, 5 is the perfect encapsulation of shelving disguised as a sh*it sandwich. 1 and 2 are difficult to pull. YMMV

until you ask it write like this, because why use many word when few do trick?

triggering thoughts…

it’s a difficult balancing act, and I tend to agree as blocks are put in place, there are very likely two groups of outcomes: the kid gives up and finds other alternatives which can be healthy or unhealthy, the kid perseveres and bypasses the block

both provide good learnings and shape development, but blocking isn’t the answer, communication, understanding, and moderation is

the alternative that one could flood the kid with unfettered access till the kid becomes nauseated and desensitised doesn’t really work either because it can be too risky

the best solution may be something in between, make it a hinderance more than an inconvenience, like the parent post, and go for the greatest impact on network effects, the evil genie in me would make all these platforms super unreliable, spotty at best

but hey, it’s a developmental milestone for the average generation member to rebel against the member’s previous generations

the 1973 essay can’t be found on that link, maybe provide an alternative :-/

_nobody_ needs to die, even assuming quality of living is maintained with age, and that one can live 1000s of years, that decision belongs to the self /jk

srsly, how is this an issue if everything in the Universe eventually dies, why wouldn’t we?

an old boss of mine used to say there are no stupid electricians found alive, as they self select darwin award style

I solved day 1 with ms excel formulas :-) but from day 2 onwards I switched to python, the formula constraints in ms excel are a pain and I am not so masochistic

o’rly? I had no idea, why do you say that?

how else to try it? only for shits and giggles, there is enough fake virtual internet pointz as is

Space Quest IV!!!

release date?

thanks so sharing

the cable company asked me to accept their generous 50pct monthly discount provided I would not cancel the subscription service but I said I am trying to watch less tv, and that was that

I’ll be damned if Engineering isn’t connected to Ingenuity
