yeah, I do this too. minimize the fuzz and the skin itself improves the overall flavor in my opinion.

I appreciate this sentiment and I'll add that, as a writer, I've encountered and experienced it myself and among creative friends. The notion that a model can produce text, or images, that resemble our output is certainly dispirit

imagine telling people not to bring their politics to "the world" so you can enjoy it. the world isn't a product you ordered. i mean a modicum of reflection shows you that what you are suggesting would in fact be imposing you

look man you might just consider not commenting about stuff you know absolutely nothing about. it's totally ok to just not speak up and use it as an opportunity to learn.

I already had the backup but I'll keep that in mind for next time. the screen is fairly beat up too so I don't mind. I'll keep the old one around in case the replacement gets lost or stolen.

it's pretty sad reading the comments in this thread. one senses both the cause and the result of SF's declining cultural relevance.

same. my current SE 3 is starting to limp battery-wise and I'm about to switch to my backup one. Hoping they come to their senses before it wears out.

wasn't it reported elsewhere that they used the equivalent of $22M (street) in Astra tokens? obviously it's not the same when you own the machinery but still.

yeah I'm in a boat of similar shape. plex and plexamp is very simple and plug and play - it handles the IP stuff for remote play, which is the tough part for me. I don't mind lacking features in the server or the client honestly,

unrelated to your otherwise helpful comment, I just wanted to note that it is "demur" (i.e. hesitate or object) you want in this case; "demure" is an adjective meaning shy or modest.

heh, no. Eco is referring to how the white house casts groups like academics, immigrants, socialists, and trans people.

I suspect most would point to The Garden of Forking Paths as his "main labyrinth story" if he could be said to have such a thing. The Library of Babel is also a labyrinth of sorts. I recall another where a guy faked his own murder

I'm glad they're doing well but I would guess only a tiny fraction of the people who use Spotify would be capable of setting up Navidrome. I tried and went back to Plex. I wish it were otherwise but if something takes more than a

I get around the lack of such a mode by still using winamp!

why even bother with this "you know what I mean" stuff? if you're going to say things like this have the conviction to say it straight. you come off as a bigot AND a coward this way.

I was pretty young so I barely knew how to operate the telnet terminal - we used one called White Knight. I recall it had a white background by default (hence the name, I suppose) and a green and yellow pie chart download progress indicator

I need the Star Trek modules, which I recall waiting overnight to pirate from a BBS on my 14.4k. "Do NOT pick up the phone, mom." Also Lunatic Fringe - somehow and for some reason a full top down space shoot-em-up in After Dark. P

it's funny that this came up on HN only an hour after I finished writing about Oscar Wilde's advice from the late 19th century. It is hard to two such lists being more different, in fact they are only similar in that they are numb

Personally not at all interested in these new features - an F-91W that needs a smartphone to operate properly is madness to me - but I do appreciate the way they implemented them, with a focus on longevity and simplicity.
