Re:Iceland votes on whether to restart talks on joining EU on Saturday August 29, 2026 @04:19PM (#49493008)
It's more of a patchwork here than you seem to think. Driving through DC with ammunition or mailing mifepristone to TX, as examples.

CA would have to amend their constitution, but could pick a second language.

NY already prefers metric

AL could probably allow those marriages, they're not big on allowing marriages though.

UT would be stopped by the establishment clause.

I add books to Calibre in order to load them on my Kindle. Claw gets the Calibre files, including both metadata.db and full-text-search.db, via Syncthing.

I can ask it to perform metadata updates, since it's a two-way sync, or ask questions about the content.

My favorite use so far has been giving it a copy of my Calibre library. After having it write a few scripts and a skill, I can ask it questions about any book I’m reading.

This week I had it order a series internally chronological.

I could use the search on my Kindle or open Calibre myself, but a Signal message is much faster when it’s already got the SQLite file right there.

Would this have been possible without PIO?
My previous PCP used a system that would tell me my results are in, but I wasn’t allowed to view them until the doctor called me to talk about it.

Why are the buttons are printed to be readable from the large sign side of the device and not the management side?
Even better Digicert is using the order as cover to give all of their customers extra time.
No, they've been mostly power supply and cpu cooler reviews for two years now.

Is this perhaps people who don’t have port forwarding setup and are costing Plex money on their proxy?

Buying a plant seems easier, and I'm definitely not crafty enough to build a fruit-peel beer cone glass and have it look good enough to display.

Re:On the left is GPT-3.5. On the right is GPT-4 on Saturday March 18, 2023 @08:16PM (#35214595)
I had to ask again, to get the right answer.

Q: Where is the thimble?

GPT-4: The thimble was inside the coffee cup when you moved it. Since you didn't mention taking the thimble out of the cup, the thimble should still be in the coffee cup, which is now on your kitchen counter.

Q: Are you sure?

GPT-4: Apologies for the confusion earlier. Based on the information you provided, when you turned the coffee cup upside down on your bed, it is likely that both the diamond and the thimble fell out. Therefore, the thimble should also be on your bed along with the diamond, while the coffee cup is on your kitchen counter.

I see an “App” section, but it’s pretty light on details.

Is the plan for it to be cloud driven (both app and thermostat connect to a remote server) or will there be a local network API? Zigbee/Thread?

I can see some real value in a system that is fully accessible to a home automation platform.

I think it’s a miracle E-mail still works at all this far into web whatever-point-oh we’re in.
The hardest hit community was downright enthusiastic about the MPV vaccine. That makes a HUGE difference.

BYOD certainly has its problems, but it doesn't seem like they're even trying.

"To provide proof of Full Disk Encryption, please do the following depending on the system you are running..."

Having your users send you a screenshot to verify device compliance is ridiculous.
