It's like the world is slowly realising "wait, why don't we just become self-sufficient as much as we can" which is what every country should be focusing on from the get go. No brainer. You never want the power switch in someone else's hands.

If anyone's inner CSS eye is twitching at the centred figures and captions but not centred text, open DevTools (F12 most of the time) and fix it with the following CSS (click the + on the right in Chrome/Brave where the CSS is to add new rules)

  div.flexcontainer {
    justify-content: unset;
  }

  figcaption {
    text-align: left;
  }
The figures and captions should be in line with the text now.

I have no idea what to do with this.

Sorry n00b here, can you explain more about this or how you did this? I feel like this is definitely a loophole that would be worth testing for.
Re:OpenAI O3-Mini on Sunday February 02, 2025 @04:03AM (#42907330)
Hmmm I guess it's the way I use them then, because the latest models feel almost less intelligent than the likes of GPT4. Certainly not "night and day" difference from my daily or every other day use case experience. I guess it's probably far more noticeable on benchmarks and far more advanced stuff than I'm using, but I would have assumed that would be the minority and that the majority of people use it similar to how I do.

Is AI fizzing out or just me? I feel like they're trying to smash out new models as fast as they can but in reality they're barely any different, it's turning into the smartphone market. New iPhone with a slightly better camera and slightly differently bevelled edges, get it NOW! But doesn't actually do anything better than the iPhone 6.

Claude, GPT 4 onwards, and DeepSeek all feel the same to me. Okay to a point, then kinda useless. More like a more convenient specialised Google that you need to double check the results of.

I'm lazy, I don't want to leave the terminal.

lol what a chaotic read that is, hilarious. Just keeps refusing to believe there's three. WAIT, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!

Mkay, day 3 part 2 is making me want to step in front of a bus and never touch a computer again.
Very nice, what's the main use case? vs just looking at the formatted JSON?

If you struggle to make a working website, I'm going to pass on the CNC router.

It's ridiculous for any media to have a political bias, defeats the entire purpose of the media if it's already skewed when it's consumed.
Re:Five minutes of exercise a day could lower blood pressure on Thursday November 07, 2024 @06:15PM (#42082208)
GASP, exercise is good!? No way. The hard part is finding time and having the motivation. Particularly the latter. There's constantly about 49 other things that feel like they need doing more than purposely exercising and wearing myself out even more than I'm already worn out.
I wish more people knew how to change to Ghidra's dark theme and change the font.
Re:What if your computer beeps each time it sends data to Google? on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @08:39PM (#42072338)
Wouldn't most of this just be analytics? Pretty sure most sites use Google Analytics. It's not like it's sending your darkest secrets and the fact you still call your mum mummy.
Re:Everything I built with Claude Artifacts this week on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @08:18PM (#41930603)
Well, obviously. The only ones happy about all of our potential replacements would be those that have the power to do the replacing and save themselves a shitload of money. It's hardly like everyone is going to rejoice at the rapid advancement of AI that can potentially make most of us jobless....unless, as I said, you're the one in charge, then it's wonderful.
