That was a fun work out. I was wondering what happened when you "filled" the circle of firewood.

The whole point of this post was that https://covidtests.gov/ redirects to somewhere completely different.
Most interesting part "Expanding the benefits of Apple silicon, C1 is the first modem designed by Apple and the most power-efficient modem ever on an iPhone, delivering fast and reliable 5G cellular connectivity. Apple silicon — including C1 — the all-new internal design, and the advanced power management of iOS 18 all contribute to extraordinary battery life."

When I saw the video I thought it was a parody. I'm still not sure if this is joke or not. It seems like a lot of effort for something like this and a strange use of the domain name. The T&C's look official enough. I did find this news piece "Avi Schiffmann’s Tab AI necklace has raised $1.9 million to replace God" https://www.fastcompany.com/91007630/avi-schiffmanns-tab-ai-...

Best of luck.

Two things that have tripped me up 1. "and save the value of this attribute", it wasn't clear that this could only be certain values, text, id. 2. API I can list tasks, get the status of a task, start tasks via API, but I don't se how I can read the results / stored data

Re:$9.99/month on Sunday July 17, 2022 @03:13PM (#32130105)
I tend to try to cancel some of mine a few times a year and renew the next I need them. That might be a two weeks (save 5%), a month (save 10%) or more.

This is also another reason (besides the credit card savings) why SAAS companies offering yearly deals really makes sense.

Love this idea. I also thing there is a great use case here for people in sales, customer support / onboarding. Listening as a skill is very important for roles like this, and anything that can help people be a bit more conscious about this is great.

A top bar icon for this could also be useful, so not to take up too my screen real estate, e.g. for example if you are giving a sales demo, you may want to hide the application, but still see visually how you are doing.

Re:How Street Dogs Spend Their Days on Wednesday June 08, 2022 @07:23PM (#31675760)
I'll be honest, there doesn't seem to be much scientific reasoning here behind things.

Things like tracking distance the dogs travelled in a day would be pretty easy to do for a random sample. Or the breakdown of sex / estimated age / etc.

Maybe it's just a starting point but it doesn't give much info IMHO.

This is a nice addition.

I would love to see it working in the Github Wiki too.

It's a small win in some respects. But Apple have been very too at only opening the door on payments that little bit. I would assume (and hope) that this will be the thin edge of the wedge and it will expand over time.

Works nicely on mobile Chrome too. Great work whoever built it.
I’m sure we will see more and more of this. One question is when they get so good, how can people figure out that it’s a deep fake or a real human? Will we have captchas for videos soon ? sigh

One look at what cookie domain (google.com) recaptcha runs on will give you a hint to its usefulness.

Until marketplaces are fined by the FTC directly for enabling I think this will continue to grow as an issue.
