By layers I mean image layers when manipulating an image in an image editor. So I guess what you’re saying is an image would be flattened before being passed to a compression algorithm?

I wonder if hypothetically, AI could do the same with a box over text, even if it was 100% opaque. For example, if the data from the layer containing text was part of the image data passed to an image compression algorithm, and that data was somehow reflected in the output

Misread as Pelletburo, now sad there’s no pet feeder called that

I had only heard of the subs going to the US until now.
It’s kinda crazy they’re crossing the Atlantic in those things, even crazier they’re doing round trips

I think they had a RISC-V CPU as an experimental option for a while, but I couldn’t see it on their site recently.
Not sure what happened with that

EDIT: my mistake, it was an emulated RISC-V CPU, running on an FPGA (source)

wiki.js
It has a few UI editor options, but I can definitely recommend the WYSIWYG markdown editor

I used to do it that way too, but my wife is not technically inclined, so we settled on something with a web UI for editing.
There are a few areas where the wiki is marginally better for me, the main one being the ability to do quick edits from a smartphone.
I do really like the simple approach with a static site builder though

Your own wiki, and your own social media-type service

I post miscellaneous notes to my social media-type service, and save lists and more organised information (including recipes) to my wiki.

The brain cells presumably have a life span… if this technology ever gets used in consumer devices, I’d like to know how people will try and squeeze extra life out of a failing component.
Take it out and warm it in their hands like an alkaline battery?
Give it a shake?
Sing to it?
Some kind of stimulant drug?

I’d love a fridge with network connectivity and ‘smart’ features, but I’d need control over the firmware it runs

I don’t use a standing desk.
Personally I’m waiting for someone to come up with the laying desk. I want to be fully reclining, with a couple of monitors suspended above my head, and the two halves of my split keyboard on little tables under my hands

I don’t get it.
The only use for a printer in this situation that I can think of is printing individual video stills and making them into an erotic flick-book, but I’m sure that’s not it

No-one suspected Bruce Wayne’s “free WiFi for Gotham City” initiative

I wonder how you haggle with an AI

Actually this reminds me of the story a while back about how LLMs give better results if you threaten them with physical violence. Maybe that’s one way to get a cheaper ticket?

Can AI reliably tell if a cat is longer than a banana yet?

Do you put that in a custom prompt, or save it for times when you really want a good result?

Started running a homeserver recently, trying to get non-techy friends to join, can confirm this is difficult (the main one right now being people using old software on their phones, one friend was running iOS 14 for crying out loud)

Once set up I find it OK as a user

This story marks the loss of another revenue stream for Mozilla. Their business is increasingly reliant on Google’s search deal for money, and if that money stops, they’ll have to face that same reckoning. For example, they won’t be able to afford paying their CEO millions of dollars a year any more.

I think they should start repositioning themselves now as an activist organisation that is fighting corporate interests trying to control the internet. If they can do that, I think a lot of people would pay to use Firefox

Enough internet users are familiar with the adage “if a product is free, you are the product”, through personal experience

I’d be OK with paying for Firefox if it meant that it was stripped of all association with advertisers. And presumably, if Mozilla were freed from that association, they’d be able to make a stronger case for how they’re protecting a free internet
