Are they identical objects?

Not even that, it’s more than likely some PM said “we want to open the camera and be ready to record when someone goes on the story tab”, then it gets implemented as needing permissions first and not considering that some people wouldn’t want to give the permissions and only upload from camera roll

Yeah even gpt4o couldn’t keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case…

I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you’d probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just “stuff”

Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for “normal home internet” - even at 25Mbps you’re looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you’re at work or just in the background over the course of an evening

Edit: I was curious and looked it up. Global average download is around 50-60Mbps and upload is 10-12Mbps.

LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It’s kind of a watermark but it’s one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you’ll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you’d write it in.

Intel Arc also works surprisingly fine and consistently for ML if you use llama.cpp for LLMs or Automatic for stable diffusion, it’s definitely much closer to Nvidia in terms of usability than it is to AMD

That’s a human action anyway though… Not a “it’s been a while since you opened our app time to drag you back” notification

It’s milk chocolate (coated at least)… I’ve tried alternatives and frankly white, dark and flavoured vegan chocolates are good enough but there’s nothing close to or as good as milk chocolate so at this point it’s like saying “boycott steak because it’s not vegan”… It’s a fact, sure, but not a reason against it for people who aren’t already vegan, and vegans are already boycotting it away, so it’s a reason for nobody?

That said the fair cocoa point is very valid.

It’s not scrolling though - using the arrow keys on a keyboard or d-pad on a controller you’d use up to go up and down to go down when navigating documents, menus etc. As far as I’m aware unlike when you’re moving a viewport either by scrolling or in games there’s no debate when it comes to moving a caret.

And as you said, “having grown up in the tape era”. Just because it was logical for that application and so is logical to you doesn’t mean it’s still logical - people who grew up with record players could just as easily argue for two spinning knobs as you’re moving a potentiometer to increase/decrease the volume, and spinning the record forward/back; having grown up in the CD era I had both of them being up/down or left/right as the buttons were either beneath or either side of the slot/hatch most of the time, same with tv remotes having both as up/down, and given there was no standard then I don’t think either one “just makes sense”

Down is next because it’s a list of songs with the first song at the top and the last at the bottom.

Frankly it’s the orientation that makes the most sense when you consider it given most people will be listening from a streaming service, but back when CDs were a thing the songs weren’t considered a list but tracks numbered from 1 to n. The up button incremented the track number and so it made sense for up to be next.

Going even further to tapes, fast forward and rewind literally moved the tape left to right/right to left, and so it made sense for them to be right and left respectively, however now it makes less sense other than being what older people are used to

I drove this make of car for a while; there’s an optional head up display where the up and down buttons here let you cycle through contacts/the song queue/radio stations. I’d imagine it’s the same interface without it, just displayed somewhere in the car where you’re not looking while driving.

Having it so that up/down moves you up/down through the list when there’s a visual display is way more intuitive than up/down being volume - frankly the volume bar on Windows, Mac, many TVs etc. goes from left (quiet) to right (loud) anyway

Especially with swipe typing - the only times I find I’m typing in a whole word is if swipe typing repeatedly doesn’t get it (eg have when I’m trying to type gave), or when I’m typing a word that isn’t in the dictionary. That means the vast majority of the time autocorrect would kick in it would be unwelcome anyway

Nah, it’s just a very generic address at a custom domain, so I imagine they just have scripts to email {enquiries, admin, info, help, etc.}@abc.xyz or something

Nah, I get spam for my personal website where I host projects etc and also use as a convenience domain… It’s pretty clear that I don’t actively want to be indexed (if they wanna do it then sure but I’m not sure what they’re searching for) and yet they’re still talking about how they can get me more sales for my… Open source tokeniser and instruction set I guess?

I don’t envy you…

Anything over 20° is just uncomfortable

Except Hasbro didn’t get a game of the year, “someone who licenced an insignificant property of theirs” did, and so who cares (other than everyone who made/enjoyed the game, but nobody “important” like Hasbro’s execs or stockholders)

Depends on the ad and how much you use the premium…

I’ve watched so much they would’ve absolutely made more money showing me ads (based on my best guess for how much margin they should make on ads, which I think I can estimate pretty well, vs premium as I know less about costs etc. there) but I guess it’s not the case for everyone

Let’s dig a very wide canal connecting the Dead Sea, Red Sea & Sea of Galilee to the Mediterranean… Maybe about 250 miles wide would do it

My man if you think the US government don’t already know (or at a minimum could easily find out) your name, age, address & where you work if you’re not a goat farming hermit in Tibet or something then I have bad news for you

It makes sense for Microsoft to support Linux though…

They tried their hardest to kill Linux under Steve Ballmer but now they’re moving (or in reality have moved) to a model where Xbox and cloud are their main income-generating industries. The former is unrelated to Windows/Linux and the latter is frankly more dependant on Linux than it is on Windows - Microsoft have been supportive of Linux through Azure for years now and it doesn’t exactly make sense for them to be developing two different operating systems, so it’s not far fetched to imagine they’ll drop DOS NT as a backend for windows entirely in the future and move to a Linux backend, with Windows just being a closed source DM with tracking etc added on.

This covers embrace & extend, but I don’t think the extinguish part makes sense - sure they may add features the FOSS community disagree with, but at worst we’re in a similar position to where we are now with things being released separately for Linux and Windows
