Which is great, but it’s not always convenient.

For example, this article

how do you handle backups without making it a second job?

Shouldn’t this be automatic once it is set up?

The heat part is harder to deal with. Some computers are more power efficient than others

It’s actually pretty useful for those who need that use case.

They have one API for all the models, and when a few companies are offering the same models, they will send it to the one that is cheaper or faster, depending on the user’s settings. That kind of developer simplicity is pretty much why Stripe got popular too.

They also have a lot of data on which models are popular, which ones are being used by specific tools, etc.

Now that open weight and international models are getting popular over the american big tech ones, it seems like a lot of companies want something that can redirect their usage to whatever model fits within their preferred parameters.

The link isn’t loading for me with the additional trackers. Can you replace it with the cleaned link?

I disagree with this one

4G (It is more than enough. 5G also drains your battery)

You’ll need to upgrade again if/when the network support changes. I’d prefer that it was future proofed

It sounds like they are OK with people using the tool, but he wants them to be mindful of how its being used.

But if you’re my colleague and we’re in a Slack discussion and you post a wall of Claude output, then I’m afraid I received a different message than you intended.

The same is true for people’s newsletters and social content. It’s your name on it; are you proud of the prose and weird AI-isms sprinkled throughout it? If so, great. But I can ask Claude directly if I wanted to.

TLDR: Take responsibility for what you send to people, and don’t just ask a chatbot and blindly share the output

Its also not that interesting lol. You can resize/reorder some buttons and change the hue of the theme

With Android 17, Google is adding a new Quick Settings layout editor that allows you to arrange pretty much all of the toggles and settings. You can choose which quick toggles to make into bigger tiles and even move the brightness slider and the media player around.

More theming options will make it to the final build. For instance, you can tune the hue of the four main colors via a slider, and some blur effects will also be added.

Assuming that there isn’t a better extension out there for people to switch to, this move might push some people into quitting Facebook completely.

If you’re using uBlock origin, then you won’t see ads anywhere else. Meanwhile on Facebook, every few posts will be an ad.

That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation

Brand new account posting a weird link within minutes 🙄

Banned from our instances

To be fair, I haven’t used Chromecast in a long time. Maybe even 10 years ago now.

I remember having connectivity issues, where I’d go to pause the content and realize it disconnected again. So maybe the battery drain was because of poor connections, or poorly designed apps

Its nice to be able to use it with a remote instead of fumbling around with your phone.

Also performance, decoding support, not burning your phone’s battery, etc

No ads, better performance, customizable

I also tried Projectivy in the past but I don’t remember why I switched away from it. I think there was a performance bug that was causing it to crash. Both may be good options now

Thanks, I didn’t know about them before today and this is probably why

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_cannon

There is no evidence in favor of the effectiveness of these devices. A 2006 review by Jon Wieringa and Iwan Holleman in the journal Meteorologische Zeitschrift summarized a variety of negative and inconclusive scientific measurements, concluding “the use of cannons or explosive rockets is a waste of money and effort”.[7]

There is also reason to doubt the efficacy of hail cannons from a theoretical perspective.[8] For example, thunder is a much more powerful sonic wave, and is usually found in the same storms that generate hail, yet it does not seem to disturb the growth of hailstones. Similarly, hail cannons are placed at ground level, while hail formation occurs at altitudes above 10,000 meters; a device with an effective range of 500 meters, above, would be unlikely to have an impact at an elevation 20 times higher.[9][10][11] Charles Knight, a cloud physicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said in a July 10, 2008, newspaper article that “I don’t find anyone in the scientific community who would validate hail cannons, but there are believers in all sorts of things. It would be very hard to prove they don’t work, weather being as unpredictable as it is.”

This feels like a time-traveller changing history scenario. I wonder what the original intent was

BERLIN, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A bus driver knocked an explosive-laden drone out of the air, potentially preventing an ‌attack this week at a German airport that serves as a major NATO and cargo logistics hub, a senior lawmaker said on Friday.

The man spotted the drone flying low while he was working at Leipzig/Halle airport late on Tuesday, then kicked out at it ​in what Detlef Seif described as a courageous but dangerous act.

The drone, which prosecutors said was equipped ​with professional explosives and a detonator, then crashed nearby, Seif, from the governing conservative CDU ⁠party, told journalists.

I agree with the point you are making, that this study shows that there is a risk of people using these systems to generate biological weapons.

However, in this particular study, they created bacteriophages. Those are viruses that attack bacteria, and the focus of that research is usually around creating antibiotic treatments (fight bacterial infections with viruses that kill them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

Some third party apps and alternative UIs support this, but Lemmy will get this in the upcoming v1 release

Added more context to the title

User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily

I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool

I think it comes down to

• on paper it isn’t gambling
• in practice it has become gambling

ETFs are generally better, especially if you don’t touch them for a long time.
