What I'd like is a good bidirectional Latin English AI translation model, ideally downloadable (though even an online version with an interface like DeepL - which doesn't do latin …

For that matter, I'd even say that it can be dangerous to choose cofounders within one's friend circle. It tends to make people more blind to lacks and red flags (for the needs of …

One could put together a phrase where that one would clearly come out when speaking it out, though not (or not as clearly) in written form, e.g.: "Frag mal den Wirt, welche Alkohol…

You project some personal conception of "worth" of x as if it was some normative and objective value inherent by essence to each category x would belong to. It's not. For whatever …

First of all, that line you quote isn't from me. Then: Ugly as that Google thing was, its intent and effect was to prevent competition ("poaching") by a handful of big competitors.…

> The job market is not our god Thank the FSM it isn't. But then again, a god is not what determines the price of any given type of work. That would be not a god but… salary negoti…

small specialized forum sites (like they were the norm in the days before big centralized social media) - much as I too prefer them to big centralized social networks - do have som…

fun fact: Thermidor - after which Sauce Thermidor and derived dishes like Lobster Themidor are named, is a month in the French Republican Calendar, specifically: the second month o…

Nah, I'm not pretending anything of the likes in any way. In fact, the overwhelming majority of apps aren't cross-platform at all, so that's really the norm, not cross-platform fra…

I hate embedded browser UIs like electron stuff as much as you do, but you're pointing your blaming finger in the wrong direction: What do you expect application developers to do i…

The Widgets are easier to work with for pure desktop apps… but they are limited to that purpose. Qt Quick and QML are better for pretty much any application use case that isn't the…

are there openly available models that are similar for the output i.e. generating speech or singing with a voice set by a given sample, but that instead of a text prompt input woul…

Nice, but unfortunately (for people outside the US) very narrowly centered on the US market… as the "American Edition" in the title already points to. Which makes me wonder: Is the…

given the fact that the demographics of home/real estate ownership by age group are very much biased in favor of the elderly, one could say that indeed such a proposal featured her…

> poor regional planning forcing everyone into the cities could you please elaborate on that? What kind of poor planning and in what ways did it force people into the cities?

This makes zero sense to me. By what logic would a salary paid this fiscal year (be it for R&D or any other activity, I don't see why there would be any difference there) not be a …

Kinda refreshing - within the ever growing genre of stories about Heroku's downfall into junk status - to find such an article with a higher level of detail and analysis of the ori…
