To be clear to folks not familiar with OSM: These restrictions are unique to projects doing automated submissions of mass data. If you're an individual just trying to make the worl…

It's a very specific way of saying "addictive," which I appreciate. Different drugs are addictive for different reasons, and redosing is triggered by different physiological inputs…

My friend lives in a building with one of those super old elevators with the manual double doors and no queuing. It's the sort of elevator that someone probably got paid to operate…

Actually yeah, that would align with my experience with it. You're absolutely right! Let me fix that.

I wrote this for my own self-hosted blog a few years ago: > My goal is to write good blog posts, and µstack exists for the purpose of making it as easy as possible for me to write …

Speed and cost. You can run the book through a typical sheet-fed scanner instead of using a contraption like this: https://linearbookscanner.org/ As for consumer-grade solutions, l…

Very fun. Shared it with my parents and they're into it too.

Because "contrapositive minesweeper" doesn't roll off the tongue.

Tell that to management.

That's exactly what I'm saying! It seems that there's someone in New York eluding suffering by messing around with aquaponics. Good for them.

I, too, bought a couch I could afford. It was new, but it was a cheap one. It's blue. When I bought a couch, I had a budget. What I didn't do was walk into the store and ask myself…

Over the last year I have seen an astonishing spike in poor-quality output within multiple employers. The problem with AI coding, ticket filing, etc is that you must review it afte…

Who cares? When you buy a couch, are you thinking "will this couch offset the value of the square footage it occupies" or "will this couch be comfortable and match my décor?" I'm g…

Interesting, I read both as emphasized. To me, the parens make the voice clear but the em dashes make it read like a typo.

> There is no greater joy in life than typing a sentence and realising it needs a clarification, a caveat, an addendum (in the same sentence, not a new one) and guess what? Parenth…

Yeah. They also use em dashes to repeat a word with emphasis, something that is done much better with parentheses and italics. > And also occasionally — occasionally — one just nee…

This post is so self-consciously dependent on inserting em dashes everywhere that it kinda supports its own counterargument. If you're going to make a case for em dashes enabling m…

I'm seriously considering one of the new Intel G3 handhelds as a desktop replacement. Consumer PC hardware has rocketed past anything I might actually use. I just don't need a desk…

> Because the fact that it gets scraped and added to a pile of training data to later be monetized really rubs me the wrong way. I suspect the next AGPL (if not normal GPL) will ex…

How useful actually is this? It generates SVGs of pelicans on bicycles, sure, and some of them are (almost) spatially correct. But, none of them look good . AI image generation suf…

Prices for other handhelds have gone through the roof, too. And no, there probably isn't a way to retrofit. Deck OLED's internals were overhauled, too. The entire board is differen…

I think you have some valid criticisms, but we have to take baby steps here. As you mentioned, multi-generation homes are not the norm in the US. If there is a change in that norm,…

Another strong point. LLMs are a technology, not a product.
