It’s not hard for a visual model to score the quality of that output though, which would be a pretty good fitness function.

This is impressively full-featured for a new app. I tried it out for some route-planning and tracking a hike and kept finding the features I was looking for. Can you share anything…

Yes. Even standing outside a straight-through tunnel, you can get some echo back to you off the walls.

It’s still there, but the builder is only in the web UI.

I’ve been working on a homemade CPU (in simulator) and I’m in the middle of implementing an ISA and assembler as a bug step up from working in machine code to working in assembly. …

Look into keyboard macro programs for a much easier way to do this. I use Espanso and have it set up to paste the time anywhere I type `;tm`.

Representative line from a previous post: > You probably don’t remember from a post almost two years ago, but I already implemented generation of temperature, wind and precipitatio…

I absolutely loved FrozenFractal’s Around the World hackathon pixel art game. It has really good gameplay and I find it pretty satisfying and absorbing for such a simple game. I’ve…

But aren’t toasts fundamentally different by being intentionally designed not to block your work?

How can this be true? If my parents and spouse and friends were all hairdressers, I definitely would never pay for a haircut.

Still a supported feature! You can find it if you dig around in the menus long enough.

This would work! QR codes would be even more opaque.

Their status updates look clearly like AI-generated blurbs saying the same thing with varied phrasing, hour after hour. Thanks for the slop? I know writing status page updates is a…

A “fifth” of alcohol is a 750ml bottle (about a fifth of a gallon). So someone drinking a fifth is drinking more like 15 shots.

> are people not taught this in school? I agree about standardization, but I think this framing comes off as lacking empathy. Plenty of folks either - Avoided the topic in school o…

This seems like a rather large claim that would benefit from some kind of supporting argument.

Those execs sound like terrible communicators. It’s hard for me to imagine a colleague acting this way in real life.

Agreed entirely. The substitution in the article didn’t cause much inconvenience to the readers, even if it was new to them (it was new to me). But people sure seem to have an appe…

I recently got into it with my son. I bought an arena starter kit from Amazon and it came with two 60-card decks, which seemed to work pretty well in play against each other. I bou…

Isn’t that the point of the parking requirement? If you don’t have room for enough parking to support the Thing, then you don’t have room to add the Thing to the neighborhood. Seem…

But: we are KNOWN to be undergoing one right now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction?wprov=sfti...

And having a stranger along for the shopping trip doesn't affect the timing more than the extra walk to the back of the store? And the engineer is sitting in the car on the first n…

Not what regex is good at, though.

I actually often skip this step with real cards. If a joker comes up, toss it and replace it from the deck.
