Inspired by the terrible search on the DOJ website, I created this project I've been working on over the last few days to modernize it. Slightly different than sites like JMail (wh…

Its available for me now in gemini.google.com.... but its failing so bad at accurate audio transcription. Its transcribing the meeting but hallucinates badly... both in fast and th…

I think technically they can. It’s because they’re downgrading them to a free service. I’m going to venture to say that it’s a money grab on a previously generous gift by slack.

Apple claiming that Liquid Glass is a technique only Apple can achieve, will be replicated, or at least indistinguishably replicated, in pure CSS... within 48 hours of today, out o…

Just the absence of a license generally means the creator has all right reserved by default. You don’t need a license in every file because in much of the world copyright is given …

Just be careful! In SOME jurisdictions, you can get in trouble for 'stealing' if you take back something that was stolen. Possession vs Ownership are 2 different things. For instan…

Artificially aiming to increase natural attrition through requiring employees to make like-altering decisions (or else) is evil. At the bare minimum, it should be seen as a layoff.…

It's wild to nitpick the licensing like this. I get why its conter-intuitive and in violation of Github's guidelines, but it's winamp, folk. It has no intrinsic value these days to…

Comments are disabled or moderated. I tried as well.

You didn't provide details, you provided a defense, which is weak at best.

This checkbox will absolutely not look good in front of a jury. It's petty at best.

I feel like we are living in an episode of the Simpsons at this point

I'm glad we are starting to lean into cloud-agnostic or building back the on-prem/dedicated systems again.

I think the very concept of this is to open source a common stack, instead of relying on a middleman like Porter, which also costs a TON of money at business tier

It baffles me why people would be so unnecessarily critical on someone's project they are showing off in a show-and-tell fashion. It's a neat project with value.

I'm fairly sure weather.gov's api doesn't have an SLA of any kind. I highly recommend going through the push vs polling approach if possible and store the data as it comes in live …

Yeah, they did... but being blunt, IBM had 8 years to do a lot of damage. Not speaking of the engineers or the tech behind it, I'm talking about escalating the ad revenue and gener…

It's hard to get accurate numbers as many weather sites are privately held. But to give some info: Weather Company was sold for $2B to IBM in 2015 (and recently sold to private equ…

Hi, hobbyist here! This is a huge area where government meteorologists and "Big Weather" differ and you can help close that gap! For context: The governments of the world provides …

This speaks on long term outlooks at synoptic scale, we really should put some energy on researching mesoscale long term outlooks, or even 4 hour short term. It's a difficult probl…

Apple's response, in a nutshell: - A weird callout to the nationality of the company right out of the gate - Spotify will be nothing without us (insert crazy ex memes) - "Our engin…

Its verryyyy clear that Google rushed these models. They have a fiscal obligation to try and stay ahead of the curve and make as much money as possible on these investments. The CE…

The dataset IS free to download, but running a query against it on Google Cloudis what costs $$$. BigQuery is basically renting servers to scan through the data, which is the fee

That... is not how lenses work, right? They are showing a totally flat glass surface that close to your eyes? I can't imagine your eyes going to be able to focus on the entire widt…
