Me too. They were a lovely colour temp and high CRI, really well diffused too. But wow, they died so fast in almost any fixture.

I just use the reader mode built into my browser. 100% content. I don't want large phone though. I'd prefer to have a less appealling small phone that encourages me to spend more t…

This looks rad and very user drivrn. I've been tracking with bibliocommons through my local library, but it has it's flaws. I can add books that any bibliocommons library has index…

Sensiron STCC4 uses thermal conductivity sensing thats very compact (4x4x1.2mm). It's pretty new to the market, but maybe in the future it'll happen.

Facebook marketplace also keeps people scrolling which means theres just way more prospective buyers. Search is bad at finding what you want but good at keeping you searching. Here…

DVDs have pretty good bitrate, just lower res and old codecs. HD would be nice, but as long as you aren't using an old DVD player with composite, they look ok. Much better than 480…

My local library never made the jump to Blu-Ray and still only has DVDs. They have physical copies of video games too though.

Full pile of standards available here: https://pub.smpte.org/doc/ There's some really neat ones all the way from film standards to digital cinema

Not surprised to hear this from anal_reactor.

Tragic that with a modern efficiency oriented SoC it still has such dissapointing battery life. Expected an improvement over X series thinkpads. At least it can charge off a powerb…

I am similar. If I physically write a couple times a week, my hand adapts though. It's a skill like any other. Fountain pens are nice too since you don't need any pressure. My writ…

Powerfulness is measured in watts, it's why I keep my almost 400W 980ti around. :)

Lightning was crew cab only.

Being conparable to the original performance might be a feature on it's own. Insurance companies don't care what mods you do to your car, even EV swapping, except performance mods.…

Ok, but the models only know what to draw because we fed them images of dementia patients and babies. Maybe image generators can be a loophole for consent legally, but it seems eve…

It can't really decode 480p/i very well. The fact that it has component video out makes it a swiss army knife for everything else 240p/480i/480p.

If you're local library has boardgames, you can check out a bunch of two player games to try out! My go-to for simple cooperative activity is jigsaw puzzles. Just go at your own pa…

Perhaps having a scratched up laptop matches the concrete stand.

CNC machines drove down operator wages. Its similar to the translator example where the machine code is written by someone else, but the person running the machine still needs to u…

> But here’s the kicker > Let that sink in The biggest tell for AI writing is just being AI adjacent. I've started avoiding reading AI articles here because (surprise) they all fee…

I agree entirely. Seeing all llm garbage being published made me realize how insecure people are about their writing. Since realizing, I've been stubbornly improving my own writing…

> Reading it isn't the most fun, but let's face it - most professional reading isn't the most fun. You're probably skimming most of the content anyways. I find it difficult to skim…

Writing a first draft may come easy, but there's more to the process than that. An LLM can go from outline to "article" in one step. I can't. I don't write often, so revising and r…

This blog post is pretty readable, but it's still obviously written with the help of an LLM. A common trend is that LLMs lack the nuance and write everything with the same enthusia…

The old Dodge Grand Caravan with the fold flat sheets fits 4x8 sheets inside. The built in roofrack is also very ergonomic for ladders, canoes, etc. We have pickups and the minivan…
