You are right, but know that it can be hard for someone to judge claims.

And to answer OP: I’d say try to read qualitative, well established newspapers. They often have various overview articles and if you read articles from a couple of them then you should get a diverse view

Yep, a greeting hug when you meet a friend is very common here. Sometimes it is a handshake with pat on the shoulder, or just a handshake.

Don’t really think about it much

It’s an convenient way to post about some trending topic, without creating a whole new community for something temporary. For example the eurovision sing festival, or some natural disaster that happened.

And on the other hand, it works for expressing some personal thoughts or memes without having to adhere to a specific topic. But with random strangers instead of only your facebook friends.

I think for these kind of needs, no other social media framework would comply better.

I think the need for programmers will always be there, but there might be a transition towards higher abstraction levels. This has actually always been happening: we started with much focus on assembly languages where we put in machine code, but nowadays a much less portion of programmers are involved in those and do stuff in python, java or whatever. It is not essential to know stuff about garbage collection when you are writing an application, because the compiler already does that for you.

Programmers are there to tell a computer what to do. That includes telling a computer how to construct its own commands accordingly. So, giving instructions to an AI is also programming.

What you can do, and is probably the best way to get this to work, is tackle this with machine learning. You will need lots sound samples of rocks, with details of the rock, and feed them to some (probably deep learning) model.

Speech mimicking with AI has shown we are able to mimick voices, so I think a similar approach would work for rocks. Probably need some tuning and a bit different architecture for nice results since the application differs a bit.

It will of course be an approximation, but that is any calculation. Since all models are wrong, but some are less wrong than others.

Ah. Yes I agree

Damn if I hear this I am so glad to live in the Netherlands. Infrastructure here is designed such that everybody takes a bike or walk if within a few miles, on safe roads

Their answer is buying the usb-c to 3mm adapter. If you keep that connecter in you bag, ot connected to your headphones, you should be fine most of the time. Unless you would like to charge and listen to audio at the same time.

To me, that feels like a solid design choice, but yes we all have our dealbreakers.

Not exactly what you are talking about, but slightly related: the company Fairphone makes phones with parts that can easily be replaced. The philosophy is that you will not have to buy a new phone every 3 years. They do have some customized options aswell (i.e. ram, storage, models) but its limited.

But going full on optimization with phones, laptops and tablets, similar as a desktop, is just incredibly hard due to the lack of space in the device for the components. As such it makes more sense to offer a wide variety of models, with some customizable options, and then have the user pick something.

What’s a subreddit?

I doubt it has to do with AI, feels more in line with rising global inflation

Not sure if I understand, how does jellyfin not match? what features is it lacking?

Maven, given they are Java developers

I also never comment for the sake of commenting

I think it will improve as more people get involved. The fundamentals seem to work fine. Haven’t looked at the repository yet but I am planning to do so and see whether I can make a (small) contribution somewhere. Probably in the form of cleaning up some technical debt.

You monster
