I use Nitter/Xcancel entirely because I don't have an account, and Twitter is now unusable without one. There's still content of some value there. People still link to it and now I can't read what they shared with me.

The cloud is just someone else's computer. Do you think there's spare GPU compute available during the AI craze?

We all find different people weird. You just need to find the weirdos you vibe with.

The details were destroyed long ago by the poor compression, you aren't getting them back either way.

What course of action would you have suggested?

Sampling does not lose information below the Nyquist limit, but quantization does introduce errors that can't be fixed. And resampling at a different rate might introduce extra errors, like when you recompress a JPEG.

They are tiny and the ones not on your fovea don't register enough "pixels" for your brain to recognise the rotation.

"wrote" came up as 2 syllables :(

This is a haiku

I need one to test this app

Love the internet!

Some of the keywords are quite sus, but I enjoyed the boolean literals being based/cringe.

Vueling, the largest airline in Spain is actually shifting from the 320 to an all Boeing 737 MAX fleet in the coming years. I was really sad to hear that given it's size and presence in Europe.

Is this an important distinction? Goose or duck they suffer the same.

Yeah there are multiple accents in Spanish, but each accent is still a 1:1 mapping from written word to pronunciation, there's no enough/through/dough nonsense.

monochromatic light as emitted by LEDs is quite disorienting.

Steve Mould has a "rotating flame" video which also helps visualize this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqhXQUzVMlQ

Are the people that create the content okay with this?

Inscryption captured the "videogame creepypasta" genre in an actual, pretty good roguelike video game, if you want more of this!

I just realised I was writing a thought-out reply to someone named Cumpiler69.

People do drive to smelly, expensive _gas stations_ to power their gas-powered cars. Having to drive to plug your EV is not worse UX than that.

He does move his mouth a lot but I wouldn't call whatever sounds he produces "coherent speech"

What? Who mentioned the government paying for them? Who said that the fabric needs replacing often?

Yeah but dishwasher soap is a different kind of soap, it's way stronger. Plus dishwashers also use rinse aid which has its own set of problems.

what about the eelectric field?

That line refers to the 'u' substituting for 'μ', the greek letter mu, not the L symbol. https://www.nayuki.io/page/common-mistakes-when-using-the-me...

That's just a temporary name (un-bi-nil-ium, meaning one-two-zero-ium) and will be assigned a new name once it's actually discovered and verified.

the chunnel goes _under the sea_ for 30 miles.

The long scale is common in French, German and Spanish for example. English usually uses the short scale. The scientific community uses SI prefixes, which aren't part of either scale (you don't say a billion joules which is ambiguous, you either say a terajoule for a long-scale billion or a gigajoule for a short-scale one).

From TFA: [...] the assumption of 'less but better' being a superior approach to product design is rarely practically evaluated.

The third umbrella in the series takes durability to an almost cartoon-like level [...]

This was a study of materials and design, not a product someone would like to sell . It's research on object longevity.

What? It does do regex, and start/end of word, by default. It's the "Anywhere" dropdown.

Euclidean distance stops "making sense" as the number of dimensions goes up: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/99171/why-is-eucli...

Cosine similarity measures the angle between two vectors instead, and doesn't suffer from the curse of dimensionality.

I guess it's important to have this in your DB, so you make "nearby" queries (give me text that's similar to this other text) in an efficient way.
