I seem to have completely missed the Neural Band as this is my first time even seeing it, but I have to admit - it does look quite cool.

Anyone have any long-term hands-on experience with it? Would love to know if it feels clunky or not...

God, it's a bit War and Peace...

Thinking has definitely become a bit more convuluted in this model - I gave the prompt of "hey" and it thought for about two minutes straight before giving a bog-standard "hello, how can i help" reply etc
"Clean It All, Clean" :P

Re:Firefox tab groups are here on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @05:59PM (#43838505)
Personally, I find myself working on multiple tasks/projects across a day and the easiest way to decompartmentalize it all in my head is to move tabs related to a project into it's own group, that way I can click around Project A, Project B et cetera
Very useful, I've always had it in my shell along with an alias to rip MP3s from an given url using "yt-dlp.exe -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality \ URL"

A good read!

I like that all the sites linked in the banner, no longer exist! https://www.mcmordie.co.uk/public/apeople.shtml

Do you mean in a sense that you'd like to see such service provided as a necessity service and owned publically? I'm not sure I understand the private equity part.
Nanny-state? You must appreciate the e/waste caused by these though, no?

And it's not an outright ban of vaping - it just disposable vapes, you can still buy a vape setup (and rightly so)

Re:A Music Map of every genre and subgenre on Monday October 14, 2024 @09:32AM (#41837376)
Feels a bit unfair to compare art to bikes.

Genres in music aren't just about splitting hairs—they're about expression, identity, and connection. Just like how "gravel bikepacking bike" tells you what experience someone is after, music genres help people find the sound they're seeking. Yeah, sometimes labels do get excessive, but they help us share and understand each other better.

The first episode I clicked on (it was for In Bruges) refered to the film as "The play".

Glad to see it's ready for production!

IIRC they had issues with a specific DNS resolver - I want to say Googles?

I'm a man of simple pleasures - I see Aphex Twin, I upvote
Tbh, I feel like you wouldn't get much benefit avoiding Boeing specifically - but would be interesting to see the data and be proven wrong!
Seems like extortion IMO - surely a VM could be spun up in any Cloud service for a fraction of the cost?

In other news, water is wet.

All joking aside, and even as the article points out re: the T+Cs, is anybody surprised?
