I have a Xiaomi, which typically is on the bad list of “dontkillmyapp” but with a bit of knowledge and care I’ve had zero issues.
You just have to know not to let the phone kill apps if you don’t want them killed 🤷♂️ but I guess many users can’t understand that.
I get that vivo phones aren’t supported, but the energy and messaging is very off here. “Vivo - no, lol” “open an issue or buy pixel”.
There’s no need to be a condescending dick to your users, you can just write “phones with aggressive task managers might kill the app and break updates”.
Plus I don’t think anybody sane is “buying pixel” just to access a widget app. 🙄
Oh, I guess I’m out of the loop, I thought this project was dead!
I switched from Goodreads to Storygraph and I love it. It doesn’t have ties to amazon and it’s a bit like goodreads minus the pointless fluff.
In 2025? Is that even a thing?
Yeah the article is quite clear but the headline isn’t. I struggle to consider “left-wing” a party that is clearly right-wing on many social issues.
Specific example from this very budget: increasing taxes on electric cars might be economically more taxing on more affluent people, but the implied message is “buy a petrol car instead” which isn’t a left-wing idea at all. Why are petrol cars not taxed per mile (but more aggressively)? Why are cars not taxed relative to cost - how is a 2.5 ton Hybrid Range Rover cheaper to tax than an electric Renault 5 (for say, 10000 miles a year), and how is that left wing???
When flagships cost $500 I would keep them for 2 years. Now they cost $1000 I expect them to last twice as long. 🤷♂️ “The market” isn’t only dictated by supply, it’s supply and demand. It cuts both ways.
My health insurance (Axa in the UK, through my employer) has a neurodivergent diagnosis/support service.
After doing a self assessment, I booked an appointment with a regular doctor and said I suspect I might have ADHD because of [assessment] and [list of symptoms].
They said something along the lines of “that’s enough evidence to at least suspect it”, then referred me onwards to the other service (ProblemShared) which did first a preliminary assessment and then a formal diagnosis.
Do some (reliable) self tests (there are some official ones, I’m sure someone can advise). It’s very quick and you’ll learn more about yourself.
I’m diagnosed now, but before that, the way I saw this was: even if I don’t actually have ADHD, if I know I have ADHD-like symptoms/behaviours, I can learn and use the coping strategies of ADHD individuals to make my life easier. (Which was right except for the fact that I, indeed, turned out to have not only the symptoms but actual ADHD).
Unfortunately I’ve seen this happen before, in Spain.
The national flag of Spain, when used by an individual, rarely ever represents “I love Spain and all that it entails” but rather “I have right-wing views, I only accept the catholic religion, gays aren’t natural, and immigrants should go back to their own countries”.
I don’t know if it can be taken back to just be the national flag, but if it can, Spain hasn’t managed to achieve it in the 20 years since it devolved into a narrow political symbol.
Maybe he’d feel more at ease if he wore clothes.
I’ve seen this posted before, in fact so long ago that if it was an LLM it would have been GPT-1 at most.
I’m pretty sure this is human-flavoured stupidity, rather than LLM garbage.
…and this is what happens when you write bullshit without effort.
Seriously, an LLM could have done a better job than whoever wrote this.
I’ve seen over an over an “environmental” measure that causes this: disallowing cars only in central areas.
This means that people who actually need to use the car to get to work have to drive a much longer distance, only through less affluent areas, as if pollution didn’t matter over there.
I was in a situation a few years ago (not in the UK) where I had to drive to work because the only other way to get to the office/factory in time for the morning would have been to take a train the night before and camp in front of the factory. During that time there were some similar measures by the local government and I kept thinking how bonkers it was that using more fuel could be more “environmentally friendly”. It wasn’t - I was just polluting near people the government didn’t care about.
Agree. If you could go into every single store, house, nook and cranny of Cyberpunk 2077, and talk to all the NPCs, it would feel absolutely humongous. Gameplay significantly affects perceived size.
Ah sorry government - you guys rejected the option to regulate porn. Nowadays nobody watches porn in the UK, people watch it “from Switzerland” instead. Go ask them to regulate.
In Oxford we have a few distinct fashion tribes for sure. My favourite ones are the poor rich student, wearing jagged clothes but carrying a £6k digital Leica, and the middle aged people wearing hiking-chic (Patagonia and Arcteryx rather than Barbour).
Yes except for me “him” is now my partner and we’re getting married next year. I do have some friends with seemingly unlimited conversation topics too, but eventually I get socially exhausted and I need to finish the conversation and have a break.
You can do this with not that much setup:
And now what makes it magic for me:
Depending on how sophisticated your setup is, you might get the LLM to automatically pick up changes in your notes. I do this at work and it feels like magic.
Still debatable, the weights are the code. That’s a bit like saying “X software is not open source because it has equations but it doesn’t include the proofs that they’re derived from”.
