"Thanks for sharing your story, which nobody knew to ask for", perhaps?

The second part sounds like a thing phones should already be capable of, if it weren't for trying to charge for something. Or snoop on me. Or something worse I just haven't thought of.

Enshittification is such a downer. Oh, well, guillotines will fix it eventually, I guess.

So close! Get one that does poached eggs. It's basically like an ice-cube tray, but the cells are bigger so they fit a whole egg. Only downside is that you need to be quite precise when filling the water. (We use a kitchen scale and measure it to the gram, but it's perfect every time)

The exact model we have is the Cuisinart CEC-10, but I'm sure there are others.

This. So much this.

I'm a member of Sveriges Ingenjörer. Fortunately, I've never needed serious union help, but it's probably because the background threat is more than enough. And the salary statistics alone are worth the dues!

Axioms are not like the others, they're assumed to be true even before considering any evidence or even arguments.

Yesss... You're not wrong, but I really do believe the solution we want is to be found somewhere in that direction. Considering the Google graveyard, the faang crowd isn't all that reliable either.

This is a somewhat surprising position to see in the fediverse...

(I mean, I get what you're saying, and I guess someone should bring that to the party, but there is s different way)

Sounds reasonable, but a lot of recent advances come from being able to let the machine train against itself, or a twin / opponent without human involvement.

As an example of just running the thing itself, consider a neural network given the objective of re-creating its input with a narrow layer in the middle. This forces a narrower description (eg age/sex/race/facing left or right/whatever) of the feature space.

Another is GAN, where you run fake vs spot-the-fake until it gets good.

Well, Rust has a lot of string flavors, and I like utf-8 being the norm, but there are a bunch of cases where enforcing utf-8 is a nuisance, so getting string features without the aggro enforcement is nice.

There's probably some fruity way to make this a security issue, but I care about ascii printables and not caring about anything else. This is a nice trade off: the technical parts are en-US utf-8, the rest is very liberal.

Protein / calories, and glycemic index, right. There are a few other considerations, but primarily these, for me

Rust implementation of the Meta-II meta compiler. I used bstr, which was interesting.

 

Hi. I'm at a complete loss, so...

Background: 4.0.3. A 3D "fps" world, with the usual capsule shape suspect protagonist. I'm adding a SubViewport, and a Camera to render onto a Decal with albedo set to a ViewportTexture from the SubViewport.

I can (sort of, unreliably) make it work in the editor, but never in the game(!) With transparent bg, it's just invisible, without, it's black, and if I pick the icon.svg instead, that works. The (inner, well, both actually) camera is active, and I've fiddled with Clear Mode and Update Mode on the SubViewport. (and every other setting I can think of)

In the editor, rendering both camera view and a label on top works, both in the SubViewport texture view, and on the Decal in the 3D view(!)

What am I missing?!
