    They officially started blocking json access awhile ago, it broke all the apps for viewing reddit without an account (RDX, Stealth, Geddit). I'm not sure on the exact details of wh…

    For me personally, I retain much less information from video vs reading it. For text, I change my reading speed based on comprehension, going faster for things I know, and slower o…

    Proton-GE includes media libraries that valve can't include, which fixes video playback in many older games. Valve has found a different way to bypass this issue, by sharing video …

    Adding onto a house over and over would probably create the same issues with inconsistency and mismatched styles. With later additions, there's at least a decent reason for that in…

    Supposedly they're going to do a fair bit of it on device for privacy reasons, so the only payment for that will be RAM and battery power. For stuff that can't be run on phones, so…

    It doesn't matter if Large models are undeniably better, if a local model is "good enough" to handle the task. With API costs ramping up, I think a lot of companies are going to wa…

    The arguments need to be based on actual law, and any cited reference cases need to be real. There's been a lot of news stories about lawyers using AI, and then getting in trouble …

    I agree, but also you can't wait until something is out of print/unavailable to preserve it. Trying to prevent access to it or limit distribution will probably just result in it be…

    >printing is the easy part and 3D CAD design is much harder. I'm curious if AI will make that part more accessible. You can ask Gemini to make you a parametric openSCAD model and i…

    I think they know it's rigged, but it's also a (very slim) source of hope. It's depressing to be poor, and have no perceivable path to fix that. Continual lottery participation is …

    It does work as a keyboard/mouse without Steam. The idea is to have it default to something you can navigate the OS with until you launch steam big picture mode. The original steam…

    Just add the launcher to steam, and you can set the input profile for the game just fine. Better yet if you use Heroic instead of the official Epic launcher, it will let you add th…

    LLMs are having pretty consistent studies into their biases. Obviously this doesn't mean we know all the biases, but it's being actively worked on. Meanwhile with human doctors, ev…

    A growing business right now is using AI art for product images for Amazon/etc listings. There are lots of ComfyUI workflows for it, you put in a picture of the product, some photo…

    > sometimes more performant. That's usually due to: 1. Converting directX into Vulkan (potentially very large performance gains) 2. Less OS overhead (usually minor gains)

    A lot of spy cameras have an IR light that will be visible if viewed through your phone camera, so turning out the lights and doing a quick phone camera sweep can help. I'm guessin…
