I think that's a pretty bold claim, that it'd be different every time. I'd think the output would converge on a small set of functionally equivalent designs, given sufficiently rigorous requirements. And even a human engineer

One could argue that's a cynically accurate definition of most iterative development anyway. But I don't know that I accept the core assertion. If the engineer is screening the output and using the LLM to generate tests, chances a

Turn off swipe typing in the keyboard settings, and tap typing works a bazillion times better. It's like toggling a completely different codebase behind the keyboard and resetting it back to when blind-tap and autocorrect actually func

I think I looked for a shortcut action to no avail. But if you find one I'd be interested! I assume it's something to do with distinguishing swipes from taps with both active, but it really is a marked difference.

I've noticed the iOS keyboard has fundamentally different tap recognition based on whether swipe typing is enabled. It looks the same but behaves differently enough that I have a hard time believing it shares code. When I turn off swip

I’m pretty sure temp chat mode doesn’t prevent the model from accessing your past chats and personalization. It just means that chat won’t be saved to them, to be seen in the future. It’s the same as incognito mode in browsers—it doesn’t

I caught mine fishing data out of personalization and extended memory to help it home in. When I cleared personalization data and turned off extended memory it quit being nearly so accurate.

The fact you had to clarify "at dancing" is why they're different. Think about it as a decomposition where "dancer" means "dancing person." In the simple case, both "blonde" and "dancing&quo

You can also assign it to the triple click shortcut in Accessibility. You probably can to the double/triple back taps too, though I haven’t tried. I do use a standalone Lectrofan for sleep as I prefer my noise machine to be across the

I respect your experience, but your message added literally nothing to the conversation besides “you probably suck because people like you generally do.” It was nothing but a personal attack. That’s considerably harder to respect, and it pu

This is technically the law in California, too (and possibly that’s where you live) but in practice the ability to do common law name-change has been abolished at a bureaucratic level. Since at some point everything official now routes back

Unless they radically edited what they said after you replied, I’d say the approach they favor necessarily includes understanding the fence. It’s a bit rude to just lump them in with “folks like themselves” as an ad hom. Even as a left lib

Especially if he wanted kids, since I don’t think Java would’ve supported propagation.

Yeah, once OS-9 came out we got some decent game ports too. That’s where I discovered Epyx Rogue! It was very late in the lifespan of the system though. C64/128 was what I was thinking of more than anything re 8-bit competition, keepi

I learned assembly on a 6809 (TRS-80 CoCo) platform. It was only later that I really appreciated how cool of a CPU it really was. It’s a shame that Tandy missed the boat on including coprocessors for game support in their computers, especia

There’s no reason to believe it’s primarily due to the DEI programs until it gets worse again with them gone. That’s a basic ABA flow for testing causation. Things improve on their own over time too.

Mubi has a truly fantastic art house selection along with a few more accessible films like the recent critically acclaimed horror, The Substance. It’s worth checking out on trial, or at least browsing the catalog, but the collection was too

Exactly this. I’m, for better or for worse, pretty dependent on Echo for voice control of my lighting and sound system. But I’ll never buy one with a screen again after having them co-opt my other Shows. The screens barely add any value, bu

Yeah, but I wondered about the same thing as GP. It’s one thing to be another voice in the crowd of people all saying the same thing (even a very deep pocketed voice) and another entirely to be the object example everybody discusses by lett

Re you not being sure how sync would work with multi-device passkeys, you can share a passkey between devices with 1Password, Apple’s Keychain, etc, and use it to log in from any of them. I typically do this rather than manage them per-mach

I’m pretty pumped about it actually. I have high-frequency hearing loss in one ear (along with replacement tinnitus) that just randomly crept in on me a few years ago, probably after some ENT infection or the other. The hearing specialist w

I got my 5200 right around the time of the video game crash, so ended up with a decent library sourced out of remainder boxes. Those controllers though—terrible durability.

On my IO, you can change the mode from the toothbrush, but the selection of modes to change from is on the app. However, I think it defaults to "all of them" so it's still usable without ever running the app.

I had a manager relate to me overhearing almost that exact comment made in a manager meeting at a mid-size corp I worked for in 2008. He left in part because of that attitude, and I ultimately did too. It’s egregiously abusive.

Yeah, that’s another good comparison. The Palm equivalent in that comparison would be Fitbit and possibly Pebble. Apple waited until there was a proven market in wearables, then figured out how to combine that market with the strengths of t

The thing is that I don’t really see the Vision Pro as Palm OS. Palm OS was out for years and years and was really successful, all things considered. Sure, it wasn’t as ubiquitous as iOS or Android now, but it obviously filled a niche for a

Unless someone explicitly told you that’s the reason for the original takedown, I’m deeply skeptical you’ve got it right. That’s especially true with the chorus of redditors saying they also use that function. I realize you didn’t find an

I am ADHD and this article resonated with me. Stuff I need to do sporadically floats in and back out of my head, and it’s rare that I’ll bring myself to act on them immediately. The technique is simply to have a pad on me and write a task d
