Yeah. I found pictures of feet before I found their products. I guess they assume visitors usually arrive at the home page rather than a blog post. A quick note/link in the blog post might be helpful for those of us stumbling around.

I use KATWARN because the local refinary, usually downwind of where I live, is required to announce if there is an incident (within 48 hours, probably).

If done correctly! I was unlucky and it was extremely painful. It also resulted in a very minor permanent facial droop.

My tabs are a convenientish curated list. It is wasteful and I hate it. At worst (best?) I've taken to sending a tab to another device as a way of dismissing it for later. I hope someone jumps on the language model hype and makes an ex

Have a bunch of them that release at regular intervals and float up to the surface. Where it is and what is wrong would be a good start.

I think it's weird because the example they used of the birthday is trying too hard to be family-friendly and social. The HoloLens had some great examples of highlighting where to hit a mechanism to make it work. I have no idea if it w

"pulling guns on ordinary people is pretty chilling: That just doesn't happen now." "Ordinary" people seems like an important criteria here. The police still shoot people and raided the ABC not that long ago.

The risk is real and reasonable if one is willing to rationalise it as a hobby / learning / playing with hardware and a trivial amount of soldering. In my case I wanted to play with sensors and the pico w. A pi with a sprinkling o

I believe "just adjust the dosing to suit" is the tricky part. One source wisely suggests asking your doctor. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-preventi... Another has big words that needs a

It was pretty buggy when it came out with the release version of win95 and it didn't even have the ability to automatically search the web for things I wasn't looking for. We're just in a bad start menu decade at the moment.

Yes and no in my experience. The past year I have had some trouble but the Linux clients seem to be good again. Win11 is getting worse for me unfortunately.

It's high enough that I don't bother side loading my various, helpful to me, toy apps to my partner's phone. The inconvenience is small but real.

Imho probably unlucky. At least on Windows it is way more stable than a few years ago. Then again it can be hard to tell. E.g. The converse is true for me for LibreOffice which used to be fine but crashes within a minute or two every time.

That sounds like fun but a lot of work. Perhaps pick a different general purpose OCR? I've found PaddleOCR to work really well for non-tesseract friendly text. Throwing the results back at chatGPT for formatting / extraction solve

I had a quick look but not with my kid yet. The story I chose didn't include the interests I entered. I like length and pace of each section. The story had the same generic style that a simple prompt such as tell me a children's s

For my five year old, we have been rate limited on overdrive reading Pete the Cat and Franklin books. Partly because the selection is woeful (about 20 English books) compared to IA's thousands in that category.

A game designer talks a little bit about talking to computers. I like that she highlights how personal using your voice is. A perspective that deserves more attention. I also like the flying spinning pizza on her website. https:/&#x2F
