> I don’t even know of a high school around me that starts at 7:30AM. Local high school runs 7:30 to 2:30. It's one of the better scoring high schools in the state, so we have some students who commute 45min-1hour to attend here (at

They officially started blocking json access awhile ago, it broke all the apps for viewing reddit without an account (RDX, Stealth, Geddit). I'm not sure on the exact details of what is and isn't still accessible, I just know it b

For me personally, I retain much less information from video vs reading it. For text, I change my reading speed based on comprehension, going faster for things I know, and slower or rereading for things that are new or complicated. For vide

Proton-GE includes media libraries that valve can't include, which fixes video playback in many older games. Valve has found a different way to bypass this issue, by sharing video content through their shader distribution system, but t

Adding onto a house over and over would probably create the same issues with inconsistency and mismatched styles. With later additions, there's at least a decent reason for that inconsistency though. McMansions lack that consistency fr

Supposedly they're going to do a fair bit of it on device for privacy reasons, so the only payment for that will be RAM and battery power. For stuff that can't be run on phones, some of it will be run on Apple's servers, whic

It doesn't matter if Large models are undeniably better, if a local model is "good enough" to handle the task. With API costs ramping up, I think a lot of companies are going to want to look into what can be run locally inste

The arguments need to be based on actual law, and any cited reference cases need to be real. There's been a lot of news stories about lawyers using AI, and then getting in trouble for citing hallucinated laws or cases. It doesn't

I agree, but also you can't wait until something is out of print/unavailable to preserve it. Trying to prevent access to it or limit distribution will probably just result in it being lost media one day. There's also the fact

>printing is the easy part and 3D CAD design is much harder. I'm curious if AI will make that part more accessible. You can ask Gemini to make you a parametric openSCAD model and it can do a pretty good job for most designs I'v

I think they know it's rigged, but it's also a (very slim) source of hope. It's depressing to be poor, and have no perceivable path to fix that. Continual lottery participation is an action they can constantly take to have a

I know the steam deck had good scalper limitations. You had to have a steam account in good standing (no vac bans) that had a game purchase from before the deck was available for purchase, as well as a limit of how many one account could pu

It does work as a keyboard/mouse without Steam. The idea is to have it default to something you can navigate the OS with until you launch steam big picture mode. The original steam controller had a program to allow users to map the con

Just add the launcher to steam, and you can set the input profile for the game just fine. Better yet if you use Heroic instead of the official Epic launcher, it will let you add the game directly to Steam. This is basically how people use 3

A growing business right now is using AI art for product images for Amazon/etc listings. There are lots of ComfyUI workflows for it, you put in a picture of the product, some photos of people, and it can spit out images of the people w

A lot of spy cameras have an IR light that will be visible if viewed through your phone camera, so turning out the lights and doing a quick phone camera sweep can help. I'm guessing this won't apply to all cameras though.
