Can anyone please confirm?

>he doesn't need to be a dictator, because he won a democratic election

So did Hitler.

grajaganDev··on Instagram tests Reels pause feature as TikTok remains in limbo
Letting users pause a Reels video. Hard to believe this wasn't case all along.

This is user hostile:

"Previously, users have only been able to pause videos on Instagram Reels by tapping and holding on their screen."

grajaganDev··on Morro Bay moves to block new battery plants after fire
Fighting chemical fires has a very long history.

This sounds like armchair firefighting and not a good argument for locating this facility in Morro Bay.

grajaganDev··on Morro Bay moves to block new battery plants after fire
>you can just shove calcium-rich sand over the fire with bulldozers and wait.

Is this a standard firefighting technique? Has it ever happened before?

Your comment underscores the point of my comment.

LOL

"Hellcat demanded that the French energy management giant pay $125,000 in baguettes."

grajaganDev··on Our phones are killing our ability to feel sexy (2024)
>sound more indignant or "called out" than anything else.

Yes - some people are very defensive regarding their phones.

This underscores the point of the article.

grajaganDev··on Our phones are killing our ability to feel sexy (2024)
Agreed - it is worth a close read.

"On a lighter note, aren’t we all so sick of looking stuff up? You know what, maybe I go to a restaurant and it’s bad. Maybe I don’t know what’s good on the menu before I get there. Maybe I throw caution to the wind and put something in the dishwasher without googling if it’s dishwasher safe. Maybe I get a flip phone and get comfortable saying, “I don't know.” While you’re looking down at Google Maps, the love of your life is walking past you on the street. To feel sexy, we need risk and spontaneity. Our phones kill both."

grajaganDev··on Our phones are killing our ability to feel sexy (2024)
They used to have a Missed Connections section of the classified ads in newspapers.

It was fun to read them.

grajaganDev··on Our phones are killing our ability to feel sexy (2024)
"Phones used to be sexy:

A call from an unknown number. A little black book. Your heart pounding as you checked your answering machine. Calling someone from a payphone. Hearing someone say, “It’s for you.” This was romance."

grajaganDev··on [dead]
This could amount to $50 billion (based on a median income of $70k/yr).

This requires Congressional approval.

grajaganDev··on Trump Offers Buyouts to Federal Employees in Bid to Cut Workforce
>President can reliably promise under current law, as opposed to needing Congressional involvement?

I don't think so and your question was not addressed in the article.

Seems like very biased and irresponsible reporting.

>Does it apply to people dismissed because the President demanded to know how they voted and didn't like the answer?

Good point - I would expect they get nothing.

grajaganDev··on Trump Offers Buyouts to Federal Employees in Bid to Cut Workforce
Does a budget for the payouts exist?

If not, this is a misleading headline.

grajaganDev··on AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt
I am offering the generally accepted definitions of these terms as some HN readers might not be familiar with them.

If you don't think that ML is AI, I am fine with that.

grajaganDev··on AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt
I think this is a weak analogy.

What benefit is gained by allowing AI companies to train on your content? LLMs work on a token by token basis.

grajaganDev··on AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt
AI is the broader concept.

ML is an application of AI.

The odds a pretty good if the people running the server work for an intelligence agency.
grajaganDev··on AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt
Agreed. Some commenters where pretty upset about the tarpits the last time this was posted on HN.
