If you keep falling short, cheat. Or if you keep falling short, your rich parents will prop you up.

So inspiring.

Most new books are AI generated now.

But how would you know the value of any trend at any time?

Google doesn't that information.

So the thing where you remove a person from the background of a picture should be illegal? That's generative AI. Auto complete in Google is a kind of generative AI. Oh, maybe you mean neural networks? Those are used in a lot of things other than gen AI. You can be overly broad when writing laws, or you end up hurting people that did nothing wrong. But if you're too specific the law is either easy to circumvent, of quickly outdated.

You can certainly try. The result would just be that people would use it in secret. Also what is "AI" to you? What exactly are you proposing to ban? You can't ban something that isn't well defined.

Depends where you live. In Europe, from their website. They are still very small scale so not yet globally available.

Most pet sitters prefer you stay at their place if pet sitting for more than a day to avoid the pet being too anxious

Honestly shameful of both companies to not expand to all electronics categories. What's taking so long?

Car brains complain about a new intersection type imported from Europe. It's nothing special, but prevents cars from cutting corners when turning and gives more space space to pedestrians and cyclists. However, dumb cyclists also have been using it wrong, but there's dumb people everywhere regardless if the intersection type.

 
 
 

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

  • The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
  • the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

 
 
 

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
