    I think that's a pretty bold claim, that it'd be different every time. I'd think the output would converge on a small set of functionally equivalent designs, given sufficiently rig…

    One could argue that's a cynically accurate definition of most iterative development anyway. But I don't know that I accept the core assertion. If the engineer is screening the out…

    Turn off swipe typing in the keyboard settings, and tap typing works a bazillion times better. It's like toggling a completely different codebase behind the keyboard and resetting …

    I think I looked for a shortcut action to no avail. But if you find one I'd be interested! I assume it's something to do with distinguishing swipes from taps with both active, but …

    I've noticed the iOS keyboard has fundamentally different tap recognition based on whether swipe typing is enabled. It looks the same but behaves differently enough that I have a h…

    I’m pretty sure temp chat mode doesn’t prevent the model from accessing your past chats and personalization. It just means that chat won’t be saved to them, to be seen in the futur…

    I caught mine fishing data out of personalization and extended memory to help it home in. When I cleared personalization data and turned off extended memory it quit being nearly so…

    The fact you had to clarify "at dancing" is why they're different. Think about it as a decomposition where "dancer" means "dancing person." In the simple case, both "blonde" and "d…

    You can also assign it to the triple click shortcut in Accessibility. You probably can to the double/triple back taps too, though I haven’t tried. I do use a standalone Lectrofan f…

    I respect your experience, but your message added literally nothing to the conversation besides “you probably suck because people like you generally do.” It was nothing but a perso…

    This is technically the law in California, too (and possibly that’s where you live) but in practice the ability to do common law name-change has been abolished at a bureaucratic le…

    Unless they radically edited what they said after you replied, I’d say the approach they favor necessarily includes understanding the fence. It’s a bit rude to just lump them in wi…

    Especially if he wanted kids, since I don’t think Java would’ve supported propagation.

    Yeah, once OS-9 came out we got some decent game ports too. That’s where I discovered Epyx Rogue! It was very late in the lifespan of the system though. C64/128 was what I was thin…

    I learned assembly on a 6809 (TRS-80 CoCo) platform. It was only later that I really appreciated how cool of a CPU it really was. It’s a shame that Tandy missed the boat on includi…

    There’s no reason to believe it’s primarily due to the DEI programs until it gets worse again with them gone. That’s a basic ABA flow for testing causation. Things improve on their…

    Mubi has a truly fantastic art house selection along with a few more accessible films like the recent critically acclaimed horror, The Substance. It’s worth checking out on trial, …

    Exactly this. I’m, for better or for worse, pretty dependent on Echo for voice control of my lighting and sound system. But I’ll never buy one with a screen again after having them…

    Yeah, but I wondered about the same thing as GP. It’s one thing to be another voice in the crowd of people all saying the same thing (even a very deep pocketed voice) and another e…

    I’m pretty pumped about it actually. I have high-frequency hearing loss in one ear (along with replacement tinnitus) that just randomly crept in on me a few years ago, probably aft…

    I think they just realized they could get Freewrite’s market too if it did both.

    I got my 5200 right around the time of the video game crash, so ended up with a decent library sourced out of remainder boxes. Those controllers though—terrible durability.

    On my IO, you can change the mode from the toothbrush, but the selection of modes to change from is on the app. However, I think it defaults to "all of them" so it's still usable w…
