    Computing power is crazy cheap and does not help. The perceived slowness is because the taken measurements are averaged over second or so. When you step on the scale your weight sh…

    Bad code is result of not following enough good practices rather than following one too many. Goto creates too much cognitive load. It had to be phased out to make room for better …

    It's both. Sleep is when trained skill get delegated into the muscle memory. Not sure if it relates to dreaming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory#Sleep_effects_on...

    This is engine for HL1 while OP talks about HL2. I'll add, if you have a VR headset, modded HL1 runs beautifully on it with full hand controller support for gun aiming and crowbar …

    That's unfair. Binary driver blobs are blackmail: "you bought the hardware, but parts of the laptop won't work unless you agree to run this mysterious bundle insecurely". Open weig…

    I wish this was true. Unfortunately when the software is done, the product lifetime comes to a close soon after. Everything around the product changes and the software needs to cha…

    Do an experiment. Take any single photograph and try to recreate any aspect of it with the AI. For example, try to match overall vibe of the color palette _exactly_ as it is on you…

    Maybe you could voice your actual grievance in more details?

    I also hate concept of summaries, as well as related concept of AI text inflation. I'm also against any third party being involved here. I'm pointing out the potential of AI in the…

    Right now all the sites I frequent are good enough, otherwise I'd drop them. I don't interact with Discord, Bluesky, X, Instagram at all, and I feel like I'm missing out on a lot o…

    I find it very hard to believe that either every site you interact with works exactly as you want it to work, or that you have the time/capacity to adjust them all with custom exte…

    A browser with current definition obviously doesn't "need" AI. And we also know all too well how it's going to turn out - they will both use the AI to push ads onto us and also col…

    This is easy to fix with local storage. You reopen the tab and you're right where you left it. Unfortunately the companies see it as an opportunity to lock users in with cloud savi…

    Exactly. They have this text on patreon about page, just not on project readme. The rest is the copy/paste from there: ACID DROP is a custom firmware designed for the LilyGO T-Deck…

    Why such detailed modeling of memory mechanics? Would it really enhance NPC interactions that much to be worth it?

    I see how this works for you and many others but I hate this practice. You are not turning strangers away, you just preemptively shadow-ban everyone.

    I didn't find any noise or whining in the post. The text mentions "effort to keep the apps updated" which is more than just updating the API number. You are frequently requested to…
