Had they done it with Xitter, the result would have been a total racist.

Just found some LG business TVs/displays/signage that actually run Tizen. Remember that cool Linux distro that was supposed to take over the mobile world nearly 15 years ago? Well, turns out, it didn’t, but it didn’t it die completely either.

Hopefully those panels are a bit more hackable or more privacy oriented.

I wonder if anyone has made a custom rom for TVs, sort like Lineage or Graphene. These panels run Android, so why not?

Cat with wings? Isn’t a bat more like a rat with wings?

Just like a bug could be considered an “undocumented feature”.

Just one more round of funding and then…

That’s the Reddit strategy of platform development.

I thought L3 was neat and L4 was cool, but L5 is just next level.

Three are lots of old games and new indie games that should be fine as long as you’re not trying to run them on a pi zero. Low specs don’t mean you can’t play any games at all.

This has the way. A god strategy to minimize the probability of an accident is to never move at all. Someone else might still hit you though, but that’s their fault.

In my experience, Copilot does a fairly good job when you already know what you’re doing, but can’t be bothered to write the code yourself.

For example, basic stuff like read data from that file, use dplyr, remove these columns, do these calculations, plot the result using ggplot2, label the axes this way, use those colors etc. Copilot gives you the code that does roughly what you want, but you usually need to tweak it a bit it to suit your preferences. Copilot also makes absurd mistakes, but fixing them is fairly easy. If this is the sort of stuff you’re doing, copilot can indeed boost your productivity.

However, if you don’t know how to do something a bit more exotic like principal component analysis, and you ask copilot to do the job for you, expect plenty of trouble. You may end up on a wild goose chase, using the wrong tools, doing unnecessary calculations and all sorts of crazy nonsense. When you know what you’re doing, you can ask a very specific thing. When you don’t, you may end up being too ambiguous in your prompt, which will result copilot leading you down the wrong path.

You can do it this way too, but before implementing a single line of that garbage code, you absolutely have to ask copilot a bunch of questions just to make sure you really understand what you’re doing, what the new functions do, where do you really want to go etc. You’re probably going to have to tweak the code before running it, and that’s why you need to know what you’re doing. That’s the one big area you can’t outsource to copilot just yet.

But is it still faster than reading the documentation and building your own experimental tests? If you spend an hour and get a pile of broken garbage, then certainly not. If you spend a bit more, ask plenty of questions, make sure you know what you’re doing, then maybe it is worth it.

Wisdom of the ancients, from the late Flash era.

I’ve seen some of the impressive pixel artworks people have made in Excel. However, I prefer to do Excel art by writing a bunch of wild functions and drawing a stacked line chart from the resulting data. The graph itself is the artwork, while the cells behind it are just a necessary part of the process.

But if you want to put a some text and pictures in very specific locations and never worry about them suddenly jumping into random places, Excel is actually better than Word. That’s why people tend to use Excel for all sorts of weird purposes like that. Unlike with Word, things actually stay where you put them.

That heat also powers certain chemical reactions happening on the surface of the hot wire. It’s not a lot of energy, but it’s still something. Light and sound tend to be converted back to heat at some point, but chemical transformations can be more stable, which would result in a tiny loss of efficiency.

What about privacy though? Google runs an ad network, so clearly they have financial incentive to spy hard.

Oh, it’s just like the historical origin of words like “bug” or “patch”.

I have some of experience with the CHAOS (Constantly Having Awful Outcomes and Stress) method. Maybe I should start a blog about it.

And what’s the problem with owning, buying and selling things? We’ve been doing that for millennia. Obviously, unregulated American style capitalism is very broken, but there are better ways to do business. It’s just that those ways are not that appealing to the greedy.

Being a lonely hunter gatherer.

If you have crafted nice spears and axes, but you have no food, that’s too bad. You’re not allowed to barter with talented hunters who can’t make spears as nice as you can. Go hunt your own food or die of starvation in this non-commerce based society.

Oh wait, how about we allow trading after all?

Commerce is fine, greed is not. OP missed that distinction.
