If you see the blog about the process linked in another comment, you see that AI was used to stitch 2-page images together that could not be flattened to be scanned together, and to remove the seam where the book binding pinched away part o

>the effect of poor sleep seems to be MUCH worse for me than other people. I go from extreme motor coordination to dropping cups in a span of 3 days of poor sleep. Are you sleeping enough? When I was getting too little sleep, averaging 5

Slang term for frequently reloading game state from recent save when a non-ideal outcome occurs. E.g. this method can be used to collect rare outcomes from a RNG-based game event.

I am under the impression that I'm a natural general intelligence, and I am far from the optimal entity to perform my job.

Do you like sweets? I noticed as I became an adult sometime in my mid-20s, I stopped liking sweet flavors as much and developed a new appreciation for bitter flavors. Like coffee and some vegetables.

I've always wanted a deeper, historical explanation rather than just the end result. Like, how did they even arrive at these things I'm memorizing? Who, and why? I think generative AI has great potential here to enrich learning, n

Some of the cryptocurrency casinos pioneered having cryptographically signed random sequences that are revealed after the game is over. That way you can confirm that the game was fair. It's not a very popular feature, however, as it&#x

I once used booking.com to book a block of several rooms for a wedding. Paid and confirmed. When we arrived, the hotel had no record of our reservations! The explanation was that their sync with booking.com was prone to failure and hadn&#x2

I do this when I'm trying to really focus on what the speaker is saying. It helps keep my mind from wandering. It's completely voluntary, though.

No. US and Canada share a language and have historically intermingled their populations significantly. We're the same because we have largely similar daily lives as individuals, we have similar problems, and we're populated by peo

I admire your dedication to preserving life in the face of discomfort! I personally use a two-tiered approach: if the spider inhabits the DMZ, they may persist unmolested. This includes most parts of the house where we aren't likely to

Same here! Have you found a solution? I was pretty happy with 3 miles 3-4 times per week, 10 to 11 minute pace, but apparently for me that's pushing too hard according to zone training. I tried going much slower, and even then my HR ra

Definitely not, but I like my neighbors and like maintaining good relations with people in the nighrborhood, so I would forgive them. You know, I thought about this overnight. I'm pretty sure I feel this way partially because talking t

Showing up on my doorstep uninvited is at best an invasion of privacy, and at worst a crime in progress that I interrupted.

Those are very niche. How would you have known that's what I'm looking for? Sounds like groundwork for a larger crime. I'll say I'm busy but take your name and number and later do OSINT research on you to level the playi

For privacy sake, and having encountered too many scammers, I have a hard rule about never giving money or personal info to any request, for any reason. If it's something I want to buy or participate in, I will follow up through other

It is, but it's also not that bad. A copy of the weights is X GB of cloud storage, which can be stored as a diff if it helps, and added compute time for loading a custom model and unloading for the next customer. It's not free, bu

The links on the 404 page bought me to some very nostalgic feeling pages. Very late-90s aesthetic. An MP3 directory index. A webcam with a frame that hasn't refreshed since 2009. I miss the old internet.

Similarly, I strongly believe we should sort our recyclables, even if they end up getting buried in adjacent pits. It's reduced entropy, save that energy for later.

People either left the keys sitting around where the US government picked them up, or they handed it over willingly. If your key is secret, your coins cannot be taken away from you.

Bruh, I know all about the reasons. None of it is the responsibility of a child. When my health improved and I caught up in physical size and strength, I handed out some lessons.

Yep. I got my share of bruises and ruined clothing for being praised in front of the class for top marks. To this day, I'm very uncomfortable in the spotlight.

There's some nuance here. If you soak your meat in lime juice for several hours, the acid is going to penetrate deep into the meat. It doesn't do nothing.
