As opposed to the DisplayPort cable, DisplayPort standard, or DisplayPort encoding that's sent over the wire, yes. This isn't a PIN number situation despite the stutter.

Lot of spam uses unicode, either for non-English languages or just to swap in lookalike characters to try and dodge keyword filters.

The consistent side comments about the interface to Gemini being "half baked" probably doesn't fit into that narrative.

"Use AI to fix AI" is not my interpretation of the technique. I may be overlooking it, but I don't see any hint that this soul doc is AI generated, AI tuned, or AI influenced. Separately, I'm not sure Sam's word sho

That's true for UI, it's not true when you're arbitrarily injecting user feedback into a dynamic system where you do not know how the dominoes will be affected as they fall.

Funny you mention, I'm actually working on that, too. There's an internal career portal with a large variety of backend jobs. No interviews, follow-ups, or anything yet.

It's grim everywhere, for everything, all at once. I haven't been able to find work as a graphic designer, motion designer, web designer, web developer, software developer, and a large variety of retail jobs. Been on the job hunt

I did say, "I'm not sure there's anything aspirational there." But clearly it does have a chance at success, as evidenced by Elon. Or, as it always turns out, it's difficult to fail anywhere but up when you're

Is that courage or ketamine? I'm not sure there's anything aspirational there, or just a huge streak of vanity. Just look at all the plastic surgery.

You got one. And how many good neighbors were dragged out of their cars, how many parents torn from their children, and how many American citizens wrongly harassed or dragged out of their houses for it? How many preachers praying peacefully

This is an article about continuity, not corners. I mean it is about corners, but not ones with huge radii.

My Pixel 8 certainly hasn't gone through 10k cycles and it barely holds on to any USB-C connector I put inside it. They all fall out even when laying still on a flat surface. There's always outliers, of course, but I had this issu

Stallman does similar, just without the printing step, and he checks his email entirely within emacs. https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

Of course, there's no need for them to be. But this conversation started out with "why do people use web based UI solutions?" and "because there is no proper UI library that does cross platform as well as the web".

I see that kind of thing more often labeled "open hardware" rather than open source.

Sure, but GTK and KDE aren't also cross-platform native.

I was highlighting this as a similarity between them, but I see how my comment can be ambiguous. The average Linux user isn't currently writing their own drivers or compiling their own kernels, even with its tiny relative userbase.

It's fast, quick, and easy, but it's peak programmer UI. It's pretty unattractive, does not integrate well with its host OS (in terms of behavior), and does not integrate at all with accessibility tools. At least last I looke

The difference is that the end user doesn't have to do it. Someone else is going to do it. Just like it is on Windows.

Scale is not immune to targeting. Laws are applied differently based on scale in an variety of ways. Businesses with fewer employees have exemptions from a variety of regulations. People with lower incomes have less to pay in taxes. Transac

Why would Gemini have any more insight than anyone else, let alone someone who's done hands on testing?

If they were any good at it, they'd have blocked the Internet Archive via robots.txt. For some inexplicable reason, IA responds to that by wiping out past, present, and future archivals of that site. They haven't taken that easy s

This same principle is why my favorite image generation model is the earlier models from 2019-2020 where they could only reliably generate soup. It's like Rorschach tests, it's not about what's there, it's about what you

It's wasteful. If someone built a clock out of 47 microservices that called out to 193 APIs to check the current time, location, time zone, and preferred display format we'd rightfully criticize it for similar reasons. In a world

A racist play on vibecoding with the popular ethnic slur "pajeet." Thus the cowering behind a fresh account.

Praise Gaben. That's the one thing I've needed in any replacement Steam Controller and Valve finally did it before the last of my OG Controllers gave up the ghost.

Because of that keyword, "was." The conservative stance has shifted to become more aligned with fascism.
