yeah came here to say this, I have my mini splits set up on the S3 light with level shifters, not worth skipping because they'll end up failing on you - requires a little soldering but nothing complicated wiring: 1. Mini split black (G

right but without the part supply under control someone could just do it themselves so they need both, though it's true plenty damage is done software-only

bathing generally reduces mortality though, not sure chatbots do

they want to lock you in to oem parts because otherwise people might use their tractor for 30 years before buying a new one same reason car dealerships want you to only go to them for maintenance

Magical like finding a house made of candy in the woods, or maybe more like that guy with the flute who solved the rat problem. Or maybe that guy selling magical beans? Anyhow, you're right! kids love magic.

In practice we know that LLMs have aided in suicide, so what they should do in theory doesn't matter.

The EU is also doing age verification by showing ID, only difference is that you have to trust that their zero proof concept works and they're doing what they say they do. In the US we just assume no one does what they say they do.

true! they have created a bit of a pickle for themselves, but I'm sure they have lawyers warmed and ready

Right it does secretly record, because of the 15s buffer. "Record then delete" or "Record but can't access" is not acceptable, the law covers intercepting entirely. Apple is banking on the transcripts-not-recordings

right, generally not true but still something we need watchdogs regularly checking

Or you were at a friends house and they googled socks yesterday I'm not kidding about how insidious this is... there's so much metadata to exploit that these companies know who you're with, when you're with them, how oft

The myth is that the devices are streaming audio back to be ingested into ad/recommendation algorithms, which is testable and generally not true. I really wish these conversations would shift to the scarier truth: companies collect so

yeah the outcome here is "we're sorry, here's your 0.50 class action settlement payment" and updated terms of service... it's not going to reverse anything, people need to stop buying

I think that's some of the drive behind cascade layers, so we can have more control of the cascade

pretty much every ad network is full of scam content now, some of the AI generated ads I see on youtube are just jaw-droppingly bad... the whole industry needs to be reset it used to be common but more of an exception, but now it feels like

I think it looks like a variety of game that it's not, and there's a dissonance there... it's not an action/adventure game, it's a sandbox of procedural generated worlds where you gather resources to unlock new buil

it's because it's a sandbox farming game, it's not meant to be difficult you spend most of your time finding/farming resources and unlocking builds most of your time is traveling between planets/systems/galaxie

it's objectively a pathological use of CSS because it circumvents the C (cascade)

What's the insult? Tailwind is specifically for people who don't like writing CSS because it avoids various ways CSS works and comes with predefined styles.
28.
by micromacrofoot 7d ago
That's true about Scratch so what's the problem? You don't need to use Scratch if you learn the syntax of whatever language you desire to use. Tailwind is a design library for people who don't want to learn or write CSS.

there's never a need to reach for tailwind, it's just a pathology some people like because someone else did the design work for them
