Nice app! Feedback since you asked: The most obvious must-have feature IMO is to paste automatically. Don't require me to hit a shortcut (or at least make it configurable) The next most critical thing I think is speed and in my tests i

Not automatically but you can switch to a lower power model and access more free requests. I think Gemini 2.5 Flash is 250 requests per day.

I've run into something similar twice now in the last month. A candidate pauses or says 'let me think about that' on a relatively simple question as if to give an LLM time to respond. After the pause they give an overly long

Of course it increases the risk - it's the whole point of the ask.

Manhattan is a better example - there is no fast alternative route between the city and airport, and that's why you see a lot of helicopter transfers. I can see this working in a lot of US cities where public transport is poor and the

I keep reading this, but I haven't been able to find much data on intentional vs. accidental consumption with the exception of people who thought they were taking heroin. Do you have any sources on how many deaths can be attributed to

Some of them are, some not as much. There are certainly more obvious poetic devices like a "murder of crows" yet there are still many other collective nouns that are more "legitimately" part of English - pack, herd, pod,

It's the very beginning of the wave. 30 is quite young and if you know ML now is the time to give it a shot. It is not in any way too late.

This is why you see a number of hotels linking the A/C (and electricity etc) to keycards. If the keycard isn't in the slot, then the A/C isn't running.

This is something I've been wanting for a while now, and I even considered doing exactly what you're doing and trying to figure out OCR myself. The reason I wanted it is because I would like to keep track of my bank balance over t

I believe that in many cases judges have discretion to reverse a guilty verdict returned by a jury if there are problems with evidence. They can't do this later though - once the verdict is handed down they can't revise their verd

Nice looking site and design - kudos. I don't think there is anything wrong with the idea but you do have to compete with easier alternatives (e.g. credit cards, gofundme, craigslist). You can't just be different than the alternat

Just FYI - Pihole won't block video ads on Youtube on your TV because it is limited to DNS blocking. Youtube is structured such that blocking the necessary domains would block all of Youtube.

Take a look at this Cholula copycat recipe. I've made it probably 5-6 times and have really liked the results (the key, as with all cooking, is to taste and season to your preference) https://thehotpepper.com/threads&#x

For a long time Facebook was friends only - so what you posted was only visible to people you knew. They slowly changed the default to friend of friends and then public and that changed the whole feel.

Another thing to consider is the scope of the problem. While it may be true restaurants don't keep their menus up to date - you need to understand if that matters and how much. One way to assess this is to interview restaurant owners a
