Preordered 2016, bought in 2018 well before he was out of the Nazi closet.

Had service done in 2022, this is how my service advisor signed his fucking email.

It’s embarassing.

They don’t come in black. Customers wrap them.

No. You see Twitter was keeping them contained. This is like the power going out at Jurassic Park.

Check out Nebula. Lots of YouTubers host there. Subscriptions go straight to the creators, and they cut the sponsor blocks out of the versions they post there.

for free, essentially!

Say that to the Facebook Portal: a fantastic product five years ago that is now having its features gutted because Meta couldn’t figure out how to make money off of it.

I’m hoping that the AI chat/artbot bubble pops, we stop pretending like the current solution will produce a general purpose AI, and start focusing on where AI really excels. Like AlphaFold that figured out how thousands of proteins fold.

I think I spoke too soon when I said the text didn’t have a background or was otherwise clean… SubtitleEdit always shows it on a white background, but looks like the text itself actually has a white border which I’m sure is confusing the OCR. See my other comment for examples.

I’m going to start by seeing if I can clean up the text, and if not, I’ll look into huggingface and whatnot. Thanks for the tips.

Found out that pgs-to-srt can export images, so you can see what it’s looking at.

Starting to make sense why it’s so bad. Wonder if I can add a preprocessor to do something like this:

That’s the thing. There isn’t a background. The PGS layer is separate which is why it’s so surprising the error rate is so high.

I’ve been running plex for a few years no. No real issues to complain of.

Until today. I just upgraded my server with an Intel ARC. Was looking forward to enabling qsv for streaming. Turns out you need plex pass to do that.

Can jellyfin do it?

Migrating a 8 year old server to fresh new hardware. Can’t believe you can basically just rsync one computer to another

They literally have us trying to finish developing a product and get it through certification. They want first 10 units built at our location and for us to train up the people at the new location. I’m phoning it in for sure, but that’s not the expectation.

I feel for you.

My company got bought in June '23. I was offered a retention bonus with a final payout after two years. 1.5 years in (last month), they announced that they’re laying off our entire office in June '25.

The reason provided was that we can’t keep up with the expected demand of the product despite nobody ever coming on site to evaluate our abilities and us exceeding the goals set for us. It couldn’t have anything to do with the salary range in our area naturally. I asked the goon they sent us if the person who made the decision was on the phone. He said no. It was explained that “these things happen” in business.

And they expect everyone to stick around and happily assist in the transition. The retention bonus sounded good when it came with continued employment, but it’s not nearly enough to put up with that shit.

I’ve already interviewed three places. Fuck if I’m giving them two weeks.

There should be a requirement where the people who decide to lay folks off actually have to show up and tell them in person.

A little shocked the Rabbit R1 outlived them. Mine is still chugging, though a lot of the features (like MidJourney integration) have been halted.

Gonna be a fun little Android media player in a few months I suppose.

My point is what’s the point of downloading kindle ebooks if they can only be read after connecting to the cloud or whatever anyway?

Read the second part of your comment lol.

What other software?

If you download your books, how do you read them in other hardware? Aren’t they all drm locked?

I agree with all of this. My comment is meant to refute the implication that not needing to memorize phone numbers is somehow analogous to critical thinking. And yes, internalized axioms are necessary, but largely the core element is memorizing how these axioms are used, not necessarily their rote text.
