I watched "Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone - What It Felt Like to Live Through The Collapse of Communism and Democracy" (7 episode documentary series) last year and can highly recomme…

I'll grant you that companies trying to force "AI" into everything are going about it mostly the wrong way but speaking from the position of someone who writes code and oversees pe…

$45 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYJL5Z67 This is the one I use and I quite like it. I've had it for a little over a year and a half. I used it to sort (or trash) all my cables and …

I'm confused on how they "made it work for us", they seem to have only observed what it did. From the title I assumed they found a way to use the model to follow their own prompts …

I think the biggest issue is hard drive (or SSD) costs currently. I got a UNAS 8 Pro a few months ago and it still sits empty. It's my own fault, I should have priced out the drive…

Hermes is what I was using but I still found it annoying I often wanted to operate 1-2 levels deeper. Yesterday I just decided to try writing my own version (100% just for me, not …

I reject the premise that you can’t use LLM’s to build reliable features.

Perhaps? Chargebacks are a completely black box though and the entity that makes the decision is the cardholder's issuer so they often rule in favor of the cardholder if there is e…

I think the OP has a pretty good case for this being an unauthorized charge. Additionally, as someone who has been on the receiving end of chargebacks a number of times I can tell …

> It should support reduced motion preference though for the more feeble among us. What a strong start to a sentence before veering into a pretty gross equivalency.

Yes, you are burning your bridges with a chargeback which is why you should threaten it to support first and only after they say no do you transfer all your domains, wait a few day…

True, but you can abandon that domain (OP already said it was mostly a joke website) and transfer all the ones you do care about. If this .sexy domain is their only domain there th…

I could not focus on the article with all the noise in the background. It was annoying in the header but then it continued down the page. If you want to do this on your marketing p…

Thankfully a chargeback is possible here. While a chargeback is almost always "possible" it can be dangerous if the company you are charging-back is the only provider of a service.…

Same here, I jailbroke my kindle just 1-2 months ago (when the PW5 JB came out) and I had been using BookOrbit for only a few weeks before then. Since then I've read over 15 books …

It's funny to think that Bungie, a mac developer, created Halo and the original demo was mac-only (as far as I remember) only to get picked up by Microsoft to be the flagship game …

It does not have any sort of "whispersync" but, ironically?, I feel like whispersync could be recreated with things like Whisper and parsing the epub/whatever to line up progress. …

If you like the statistics you might enjoy BookOrbit. I'm a sucker for stats like this and love having them centralized so that it's not just on my e-reader (in case it dies or if …

I have this on my Amazon Kindle and I freaking LOVE it! Paired with BookOrbit [0] and using plugins like BookShelf, BookEnds, and KOAssistant I have the best reading setup ever. Th…
