It's still wild to me how "closed" iOS got browser extensions before Chrome on Android.

How does it affect binary size? Node's SEA (embedding script+node into a single binary) is slowly maturing so smaller binary sizes would benefit distribution.

Just get a modern Sony TV and be done with it. They perfected Motionflow to the point where you no longer think about framerate (choppiness nor soap opera). It's clearly a priority, probably because they are the only manufacturer with their own studios (Columbia/Sony pictures). There is a reason people pay the $800+ Sony tax over any TV that has the same panel.

Newpipe is great for background listening and PIP (window can be resized/moved). For downloading, Seal reigns supreme. You can 'share' a video to the app and it downloads the video right away.

Alternatively, a non-intrusive supplement with DIM has recently been found effective against the Streptococcus Mutans bacteria.

3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a leading contributor to plaque and cavities, by 90%.

It makes sense from a business perspective. Get a 'brand' product instead of some obscure free PHP clone, so you can say you have assurances for business continuity through support/fixes/security patches. Price and the god awful performance aside.

Would be insane if the GPT4 model is in there somewhere (as its served by Azure).

Concerning, as their lingo would say. According to the below article this will also screw over open-source developers and data scientists:

Open Source LLMs Not Exempt:

Open source foundational models are not exempt from the act. The programmers and distributors of the software have legal liability. For other forms of open source AI software, liability shifts to the group employing the software or bringing it to market.

The GPT term clearly has prior art. As this doesnt use an OpenAI service, OpenAI has no leverage (e.g. terminating service).

Homogenized hardware I assume, this is why iOS had so many photography Apps too.

Sad to hear. In an alternate timeline they would have accepted the $4B+ Twitter offer and had a nice exit along the way.

The hard truth is software can't be patented and Twitter could copy the concept verbatim without paying them a penny.

So far I am impressed. It rightly answered:

1. Name five pop songs made by german artists.

2. Write a PHP function that replaces newlines with dots in a file.

3. Name the movie about a bowler whose identity is mistaken.

Tinnitus is also a post-covid symptom. They could be looking at the wrong culprit.

This will do well as a Teams/Zoom background for nonsense meetings.

Dutch researchers claim the Japanese leaf flea, the natural enemy of the Japanese knotweed, can be used to combat it. The universe always rebalances itself.

Makes sense, as women supposedly synchronize menstrual cycles with each other (menstrual synchrony).

It's using a LinkedIn mechanism in a special way to make posted content stand out. Hacking sounds accurate, albeit a growth hack.

Might want to look into what the H of HN stands for.
