tell me if this makes sense to you: not all expensive chairs are worth a lot but the chairs that are worth a lot cost a lot of money

replied to:

Maybe adjust the last part to “most Chairs that are worth a lot…” - because I guess there are chairs that are inexpensive but still good and thus could have cost a a lot?

replied to:

my guess is the inexpensive chairs can be a good value for the price you pay but I doubt there are many of any chairs that are inexpensive and yet worth a lot

replied to:

Good chairs are expensive, yes. Can’t find myself a good dining chair set for a year at €500/4 chairs budget.

replied to:

In my opinion, it's because there's always something more to know, especially in science-related fields.

replied to:

it'll always be that way, sadly

replied to:

The scientist's job is to never stop searching. The leader's job is to stop searching and decide. Trouble starts when either forgets the other exists.

So we can't use em dash anymore — lest we anger the mob. Truth be told though, English teachers have always discouraged em dash overuse because it is a subtle art and very easy to get wrong.

replied to:

The funny thing is that in the UK, we don't really use the em dash anyway. We use the hyphen (I guess en dash?) with a space each side. So the em dash has always looked a bit odd to us... 😊

replied to:

There are dashes (-), as well as en dashes (–), and there are em dashes (—), not to miss the mighty center dot (•) that looks like a perky boob when surrounded by brackets haha

replied to:

Just get and read Chicago Manual of Style, or Oxford Style Manual if you so prefer, and you’re all set to use the various dash’es (and many other things).

replied to:

There’s other dashes to pick if you want to steer clear of the almighty em dash!

replied to:

The anti-slop mob is tiresome. With a careful and appropiate use of ai it is possible to make a lot of interesting stuff. And I hate even more when the mob "profs" that the text is ai using those ai detectros that can't detect ai.

Is it that you don’t enjoy coffee, or you don’t enjoy Starbucks? I’m not a fan of Starbucks’ coffee myself, but do enjoy coffee I make at home or get from local coffee shops.

It is something silly made out of misheard lyrics from a Taylor Swift song. I usually drink instant coffee 🥹

Ah thank you. I need to learn this stuff more. I have an desktop at home with AMD 5800X, AMD 5700XT, and 64 GB ram running fedora server that I ssh into using tailscale. I thought I would use it to remotely run all the models but turns out my build is anemic at best for LLM. I use it to offload generating videos from my spoken audio offloading work from my laptop which is interesting to me. Claude wrote the bash scripts and I asked it to use podman containers as an experiment. It is fun to try.

replied to:

It’s not running it locally, using it offers 1K free calls per day for certain models, this is one of them, I use it for for the summaries and this now, most of the time it stays below that limit, if it exceeds it turns to the paid version of the model but still it’s cheap.

آپ کے دیئے گئے کی درست اور معیاری اصلاح "کوئی لے کر آیا ہوں، میں دیوانہ تیرے لیے" ہے۔ اس جملے میں 'نجراجہ' کی جگہ درست لفظ نذرانہ (تحفہ) ہے، 'لیکر' کو الگ الگ لے کر لکھا جاتا ہے، اور 'لئے' کی درست املا لیے ہے۔

The correct and standard correction of your given is "I have brought a , I am crazy for you". In this sentence, the correct word for 'najraja' is 'nazran' (gift), 'lekar' is written separately, and 'lay' is spelled correctly.

One idea that I've been thinking about is an or where it is a app so you get a new file everyday right except the app keeps track of all the files for you. the idea is that anytime you type anything it it basically makes a commit and use so anytime you type something it commits automatically after a quick pause after you stop typing.

replied to:

That sounds ! Could also create summary titles with for the filenames in addition to their date so you can find what you were writing about easily. Also full text search.

replied to:

Yes! Great idea. Not sure how I would implement it but the main idea is that you should feel free to delete text through out the day because everything is tracked in a git repo. 🫣

My understanding is when text in a paragraph is all in an RTL script, the whole paragraph should be aligned right. I am not a native speaker either so take all of this with a big sack of salt. Not urgent or anything but if you are looking for your next challenge look into dir="rtl" and unicode-bidi: plaintext;.
