    There doesn’t seem to be any indication whether this is available in the chat-got app nor is there any indication in the app that anything has changed. Anyone know how to actually …

    This is the laughing Ray Liotta meme equivalent of journalism. All too common right now.

    Former Albertan here. Alberta even griped about unfair treatment when their conservative party had a majority in Ottawa for almost a decade. It’s just what people have learned to s…

    I agree with what you’re saying, but I think that email was one of the first parts the web to become terrible. This happened a long time ago, we’re just used to it.

    They’re literally using an LLM to write the email.They could make the disclaimer text detailed and descriptive per email sent. So the use case they’re citing here that “well what i…

    Unfortunately it’s almost a TB of video. The project is opensource so you could run the pipeline to grab all the videos yourself. https://github.com/bfeist/ask-an-astronaut

    I would love to, but the video metadata is entirely lacking. All I have is a filename and an uploaded date—not even an accurate date of when it was recorded.

    I would love an app like this. I am a frequent user of https://www.boringreport.org/ for news, which does something like what you’re describing but for news articles.

    100% agree that this is what it should be called. To argue that big websites being big makes them equivalent to the whole Internet is absurd. Besides, I love the idea of the only r…

    Comment #45737551

    Yes and no. I have 7+ years and counting of telemetry recordings but I don't know of a resource that would let me get all of it historically. If you know of one, please let me know…

    Very cool! Your idea about auto-generating timelapse videos was taken up by NASA. https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/BeyondThePhotography/CrewEarthObser...

    What’s with this headline? This was a test launch with no payload that wasn’t expected to achieve orbit.
