People have options, and it’s very easy to go somewhere else. If the food isn’t better the price and demand are going to be perfectly related. Every price hike matched by a corresponding drop in sales. Zero sum game.

The idea that facial recognition was just to determine if someone is in front of the machine is a diversion. A simple occupancy sensor would do the same, cheaper and more simply. The company only invested in the facial recognition because they are getting some other gain from it (presumably, data harvesting).

I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

US. I see the same scams on clients without Adblock. Only way they care is if it becomes a PR problem for them.

Naan, idli.

Yup. I’m a web dev. Switched from testing first in Chome to testing first in Firefox a few months ago. And I had been Chrome first for probably 10 years prior. Some of our customers (enterprises) also started deploying/spec for FF by default in the past year.

Thanks to stuff I learned about in the comments of previous posts on lemmy, I no longer see any YouTube ads. I’d say their plans are backfiring.

5.25 billion smartphone users, so they are paying about $5 per user. If you switch the default from Google, you are taking $5 from them!

I understand where your coming from. If you are used to cooking “by the seat of your pants” for one scaling to a group is more complex than just increasing the amounts.

A couple things that can trip you up:

Prep: Bigger ingredient amounts mean you probably should prep them before starting. E.g I can peel and dice one potato in the time it takes water to come to a boil. 6 potatoes, not so much. Do a mise en place.

Seasoning: taste more often and consider aiming for a more “average” palette. E.g I like my food with very low salt but more pepper, but I don’t do this when cooking for others.

Pans: larger sizes mean you might have to do some steps in batches (browning) or use two pans where you could have used a single pan for one (e.g. split the pan and brown meat at the same time as cooking onions). Create pans/trays to hold the parts of the meal that are partially cooked. When making a lot of something, a little prep and organization makes things go smoothly since you might be repeating the same task several times, so if that task is a little quicker, you get a big benefit. Whereas you might not want the extra prep pans to wash when cooking for one, when cooking for more the better organization actually makes it go quicker.

You still can cook by taste/eye/instinct for the ingredients and amounts. It’s just that planning and organization becomes more important.

It’s not so much the fake reviews, as the very honest and bluntly negative reviews. That gets in the way of Amazon making a cut off of sellers offloading useless crap onto their customers, and those are the reviews I think they will be purging.

A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.

I think this model has billions of weights. So I believe that means the model itself is quite large. Since the receiver needs to already have this model, I’d suggest that rather than compressing the data, we have instead pre encoded it, embedded it in the model weights, and thus the “compression” is just basically passing a primary key that points to the data to be compressed in the model.

It’s like, if you already have a copy of a book, I can “compress” any text in that book into 2 numbers: a page offset, and a word offset on that page. But that’s cheating because, at some point, we had to transfer to book too!

I use paper for shopping lists, to keep track of dimensions etc, and to-do lists for work.

I tried multiple note taking or to do list apps over the course of a few years before going back to paper.

Benefits: No risk of scratching/dropping my phone because I have it out. Can easily emphasize text, star/cross off items, and mix diagrams and text. Can quickly scan many items by eye. Works when my phone battery dies. Works when no cell service (unlike some collaborative to-do/list apps) Can hand the list to my partner. Instant sync. Satisfying to physically toss out completed lists. Can reference the list while on the phone. Not distracted by phone alerts. Never get spam email or pop ups urging me to pay for an app, or rate an app; no terms of service or privacy policy!

Wow. Many people have digital methods. I create jira tickets because it’s required but my actual work list I follow is handwritten in a notebook. When it gets more than 50% completed I copy the incomplete items onto a new page.

Could be calibration or hot air rising? Where are you putting the other thermometer in the grill? What happens if you stick them in boiling water?

Also sometimes you can get the ugly off cuts in bulk for a discount

Yes, exactly. Google is causing this problem by making a way for this crap to be monetized, and driving the human eyeballs to it. The solution is not to further enable Google as a gatekeeper to information, but to simply replace them.
