When it answers something I asked, or when I play with a small model with llama.cpp, I sometimes find their reasoning funny while they go in circles.

Replying here to throwaway2037 because I can't reply directly to him, but yes, even most informal businesses accept PIX, including some random guy selling candy or bottled water at a stop signal.

The only exception I have found to consistently refuse PIX are some parking lots, and they refuse credit cards as well, accepting only cash, probably to hide their earnings.

I'm pretty sure they're "employed for life" because otherwise every new administration would replace as many people as possible.

Can you picture a company replacing 90% of their workforce every 4 or 8 years, all at once? Because that's what I think would happen if government employees could be fired as easily.

Maybe this will help: https://marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-i-dont-write-li...

And I think I saw some others similar articles and blog posts over the years, but the tl;dr; is that a large enough ammount of text used in their training contains em-dashes because a large ammount of writers use them.

What do you mean by "It's not automatable at all..."?

At a former job we had automated extraction of data from a 3270 terminal (several of them actually).

Is this satire?

The way things have been going, I can't tell.

I thought they had been retired long ago.

I think it's been years since I last saw one at Rio de Janeiro.

It feels like it won't be long before Microsoft starts helping with that (by making Windows less stable, not improving Wine).

Take a look at https://old.reddit.com/r/FPGA/

Whatever people may say about reddit, it seems to be a good starting point to get started with pretty much any hobby (even if it's just to get a link to another community).

Edit: https://github.com/BrunoLevy/learn-fpga looks interesting.

Good looking, acessible, "default" themes for popular CSS frameworks?

Like "here's Bootstrap5 default theme, here's another for high contrast, here's another for X problem, etc..."?

Not hidden away in some github repo you find on HN or Reddit, but either collected in some "resources for acessibility" website, or actively promoted by the frameworks themselves.

Maybe an AI tool to get a page source, a screen capture and generate alt texts and aria-roles?

On Windows and MacOS.

Linux support is still a work in progress on both Chromium base browsers and Firefox.

Could it be related to the Cloudflare issue?

Is Cloudflare being down the work of conservative hackers and the rest of the internet is just collateral damage?

Lots of Linux software these days are also distributed as flatpack or appimage, and appimage in particular is dead simple if what you want has it available: place the file wherever on the path, make it executable, and done.

Damn, a smartphone made by Valve would make me splurge for more than middle-low end, for the respect they give us alone.

It just needs my banking apps, and and I'll be happy to pay for it.

Anytime I see the complaint about the 30% fee, I wonder what people feel would be fair for the service, because it also includes storage, distribution for new instalations and patching for older ones, along with generating keys to be sold at other stores.

Would people feel better with a lower fee, but no distribution network, for example?

I never dealt with it or tried anything like you need, but isn't it a good use case for an AI with Retrieval Augmented Generation?

There was an interview on Fortune where a Wall Street executive believes it probably won't happen for at least 9 months, but will likely happen within the next 24.

I came to check if anyone would make any suggestion but found none. Still a search led me to this: https://www.mmorpg.com/games-list/show/browser
