    I'm trying to figure out how driving less and walking more would result in the Great Salt Lake getting an extra million acre feet of water into it per year. One might argue that wo…

    Elon's $1T tranches are mostly based on market cap, right? Switching from just a carmaker to a "physical AI" company could be all he needs to convince the stock market to ignore Te…

    Google ngram viewer has vendor at two orders of magnitude more usage. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen "vender" before.

    That's one of the things that drives me nuts about all the public discourse about AI and our future. The vast majority of words written/spoken on the subject are by generic "though…

    Prusa is going to use Bondtech's upcoming INDX system, which swaps out the entire filament path. Bambu Vortek seems to just be swapping nozzles so, while that should cut down on wa…

    I've had two interactions with Wendy's AI drive-through, and the first time I was pleasantly surprised, but the second time it would not stop suggesting add-ons after every single …

    My understanding is that Ra-Elco essentially moved to Standard Supply after the building burned down. I haven't checked it out myself yet so I can't confirm.

    You can configure it to not be enabled by default, but you click a little blue circle next to the title and it will show you the community version. Plenty of good content is forced…

    I think you maybe didn't see the "yet" in there. This is software written by unpaid volunteers. There is no user-hostility, only a lack of time and help at implementing things.

    Check out the DeArrow extension. Crowd sourced thumbnails and titles. It's great.

    GEGL is just a library created to modernize GIMP's image manipulation pipeline. It forms a DAG of image operations. It's what unlocked non-destructive edits and porting everything …
