Interesting that none of the talk around this has touched on any form of enforcement, even though this is illegal activity in US/EU. Any fine would be peanuts for them but it might…

This is sad but no great surprise. What does surprise me a little is how far ranging the "we can't make those parts anymore" argument goes. I thought back to those seriously slim S…

Yes, same for me on Firefox mobile and Chrome mobile (both latest versions on Android)

Please don't be detered by the less constructive comments, there are a myriad of approaches one could take and it's impossible to please everyone. Even if it has failings I think i…

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing it! In case it's useful, given your last sentence, it runs really well on Chrome on Android (on a Pixel 10) but it's a bit glitchy (although n…

My Time 2 was ordered early and still took an age to arrive (well beyond the estimate) but they were good enough to announce updated timing when I queried it and it came a few week…

This is good, although it left a fairly antipodean tone with a nerdy style when I selected British English. The source was a fairly heavy french accent, with the outcome being quit…

Looks good. What's with the submit buttons being put on the left on virtual game keyboards, even though Return/Enter usually on the right on typical keyboards. Wordle also does thi…

Yes, the importance of asking a question to demonstrate you've invested effort cannot be overstated. Without knowing what/how they asked, it's difficult but I would be tempted to s…

I find it bizarre they even feel the need to do this - even generally there's a question about whether advertising really leads to purchases you would not have otherwise made, but …

This feels rather naive in taking all the complaints at face value. The truth will be much more nuanced, and ultimately countries should be more welcoming to the genuine whilst far…

I'm sure this received full human attention, even if they used a computer to help write it (be that more traditional text tools or more recent ones).

Were you meaning it was unavailable temporarily? Maybe something changed in the meantime, but I'm seeing what appears to be the code for it here: https://code.haverbeke.berlin/word…

I recall when Google nearly did the same for all the people with Google Workspace legacy free edition accounts. They had no idea how many people they were going to massively upset …

Unable to read the article but the basic maths of putting suitable structures in space obviously doesn't add up, even if you don't account for maintenance difficulties, accelerated…

How does this differ from SetFit? Is it just an alternative implementation? I found the HF version pretty effective and it often works well for multilingual classification. I've us…

Is there some sort of swipe data standard? If there were, it feels like getting a few proper OSS projects going might start to shift things in the right direction (assuming they cr…

Why would any people need to see the addresses at all? The solution being proposed is something that you'd automate with a series of heuristics. And your point about the company ma…
