Is Apple still doing the extended return window for items receiving around the holiday? I know sometimes they allow items received near the end of November to be returned in January, so in theory if you time your early order right you can u

I hadn't heard of crystal somehow, I work with ruby a lot so that might be fun to play around with.

There are probably different reasons for different people. I can definitely see the angle that trying to specifically pretend to not be AI when contributing to open source could be seen as a bad thing due to the open source supply chain at

It also says don't announce that you are AI in any way including asking it to not say "Co-authored by Claude". I read the file myself. I'm still inclined to think people might be overreacting to that bit since it seems

Oh, me too. I started out as tech support for a dial up ISP in the 90s. It was rough. I am always polite to customer service. I just feel like it wasn't the lady that was attacked so much as it was the fax machine, the policy, the inst

They attacked a fax machine, I don't think it has feelings. The woman will get over her frustration at seeing it print for two hours.

I am reminded of this, I feel like its kind of a similar phenomenon: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1m803ba/th...

My main concern is, how long is it before you can't print a replacement part for something you bought because it looks too similar to an OEM part and the manufacturer doesn't think you should be able to do that so they throw a lit

The new TOS also says it tracks: immigration status, political affiliation, whether you identify as non-binary or transgender, religion, activist content you consume, etc.

I am embarrassed that I didn't think to do this. Thank you :)

Mine will turn my LG on, control the volume, do all of that, it just won't ever turn it off. The AppleTV will turn itself off, but the TV itself will revert back to its screen saver display complaining about No Input.

Oh, that explains why it looked so odd when I enabled HDR on my Studio.

This tech is at least a decade old.

Yes, this is so scary! I know I'm just hopping in here with anecdotes but this happened to my friend's mother as well. She was seemingly getting dementia, her health got really bad, she was tired all the time, couldn't figure

You shouldn't just automatically trust it, but it allows you to examine what its doing and make your own informed decision about whether or not you can trust it. If you discover your data is being collected in an open source project

The same thing happened to me recently! I had the walk indicator lit, crossing in a cross walk, someone comes speeding up to me and stopped and yelled at me to "get my ass out of the road." Someone else drove up on the sidewalk

The open source community can be wild sometimes. Back when I was still maintainer and lead dev for Gaim (not Pidgin), I would occasionally get downright hateful people e-mailing me for not implementing whatever feature they thought needed t

Oh, cool, I used to run something very similar called steamwatch.com, back before they allowed you to have watch lists. It would monitor prices, let you know about sales, and I would occasionally run game give away raffles for free with wh

Not to mention, with a car you get to decide your own schedule. If I want to take the train where I am, I have to be there at 4:30am or... well, that's it. That's the only time.

If you don't mind hotkeys, I eventually discovered that cmd+up arrow will take you to the parent folder.

I remember being maybe 13 years old or so and asking my parents for Turbo Pascal for Christmas haha. I think it was Turbo Pascal 3? I eventually upgraded to the nicer one with the windowed system. Good times!

This is one of those things where op needs to do something similar to what I think midjourney is doing and do prompt optimization. They need to do some research into what additional prompt cues they can add for the user automatically to bri

You're going to get sued in the US if you try to market this thing and require voice input. This is potentially a huge accessibility issue. You've essentially eliminated (most) people who are deaf and people with speech issues fr

Did you click the create button? It takes you to a page where it specifically mentions stable diffusion and allows you to create your own "vr image" with a prompt.

Oh, nice re: the analytics backend. Good thinking! This project has prompted me to dust off some code I was working on a couple years ago, I'm excited to play around with it.

This is really cool! Thank you for making/posting this. I played around with it for about half an hour to 45 minutes or so. I did manage to break it two or three times but I can't reproduce it reliably yet. I'll provide a

I had a Macbook pro gpu go bad a couple years outside the warranty of the laptop. They replaced the entire thing for me and also noticed a little dent in the case and swapped that out too, I essentially got a new (old) machine handed to me

No? Are we in an influenza pandemic or epidemic right now? Again, we're talking about events here. There have been six of them in the last 140 years with respect to influenza. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed 675k (in the USA, like 50

They clearly mean from one specific event. What one event in the USA has lead to 2 million deaths? You're combining all deaths and treating it as if it were the same thing.
