Having a go bag ready is probably always prudent, but probably not moreso today than any other. The quake in Venezuela is unusual, but the others are not causally linked. Different plates and normal ring of fire behavior.

You don’t like the OS; ok. Nobody likes the forced usage of the engine. But WebKit being the “worst web standards compliant” is simply not true. It’s maybe the highest on interop and certainly competitive in other ways. I wish there were more WebKit and Gecko; way too much Blink right now. Come on Ladybird and Servo.

I can deny it will be useful to me. And I can do so without any disparaging comments. I am glad it will be useful for you.

Because you don’t message them generally if they’re away; so away and busy marking helps. The difference you’re describing for not needing to check if somebody is in the office, means you are the sort of person to just show up at somebody’s desk and yap. If not, this new feature gains you no ground, as you’d still need to check if they’re available. If so, you’re already quite unlikable in the workplace.

Yo, I was hoping to chat about fizzing buzzes today. You in the office; wanna grab coffee? If you prefer you can call or we can just chat on slack? Anyway I thought it would be best if we foo’d the bars in that order on project A.

Easy. No naked ping. No pressure. Question already in the open. No expectations. Will find out if able to meet in person. Will get an initial response.

They recently cribbed the Catch Up feature directly from Slack. I’m a big fan of that. Come up with a good feature on their own? Nah.

Maybe some sort of longitudinal studies about long term effects. Who knows? But each datum helps.

People will definitely reply about how obvious this is and how we already knew it. But research improving empirical knowledge about any links in any field is still valuable.

Pretty simple solution to that.

Depends what your real tasks are. If they involve writing, researching, watching videos, filling out web exams, etc., yeah, very capable. If you’re compiling massive codebases, editing composited video, or recording several audio channels, obviously not. But that’s the pitch. If you’re a student and want a well built machine at a competitive price with a long battery life, they’re tough to beat.

It bums me out that the corporate misdeeds were so damaging with LLM’s that people say stuff like this. The technology of using backpropagation to tune networks and using high dimensional matrices to predict new vectors itself isn’t toxic. It is fascinating and can be useful. But without focus I can see how it all looks like just ChatGPT hallucinating wrong answers to lazy college students or what have you. That’s painting with pretty broad strokes though.

Fascinating how uttering the term “AI” can cause so many downvotes even when the system is just a harness that runs self hosted and can use completely openweight, even self trained models. Or maybe many on Lemmy just hate pewdiepie.

Fair. I meant proportions/silhouette, not details like lights. I just mistakenly thought those were also part of design.

I seem to be unclear I guess. But to me there is a difference between, “can’t use the same design language” and “can’t look sleek”.

My point is simply that electric vs combustion power distribution and volume / mass differences make it, I assume, difficult to maintain the same design language.

Difficult to use the same design language with massive batteries. I actually think it looks okay. For me the issue is the 700k price tag.

That nvidia one is probably impossible to pin down, since it is really just a big ouroboros investment human centipede eating its own revenue out of all the other asses.

You’re right that hypersonic cruise missiles are probably a greater threat and maybe there is a propaganda side to this, but the Oreshnik is no slouch and not particularly easy to intercept. Yes it is ballistic, but it carries MIRV’s which are notoriously challenging. Not arguing at all, just explaining that these are a substantial threat too.

Our first few batches were not backsweetened. They were a bit dry but I still love the flavor. But the backsweetening is actually a fun bit of alchemy itself. Some people think it is heresy for purity reasons, and that is a-okay, but to the worries some have that it is unsafe, that can be mitigated. We actually pasteurize, so it is no bottle bomb issue.

The maple is really good. Maple and vanilla are 2 of my favorite flavors, but my wife talked me into the butterscotch extract and it actually turned a corner. Like, it leveled it up way further than I expected.

The caramelization idea is interesting. Maybe we should experiment.
