To catch someone doing something means that you saw them doing the thing when they did not want to be seen doing the thing. It does not mean the same thing as simply meeting someone.

I don't know what alternative you'd suggest for "take in". That's also commonly used for both people and animals.

I'm still learning, so I don't know the language well enough to give you examples. One of the things I've seen is using single Latin characters as replacement for Chinese characters that are homophones. This is often seen when writing things out in dialects that have unique words that don't exist in the Mandarin writing system.

This whole discussion you see above is part of the process of repeating a study. You can't just do exactly what the previous study did and expect all the flaws to magically disappear. You need to first uncover the flaws, and more eyes and collaboration means a higher likelihood that the flaws get found, hence the importance of these discussions. Then you redesign the experiment to fix those flaws, and then you can run it again.

How many bits is a /s mask?

We can get a rough estimate for your first question with the information we have. They've shared that it costs them about $200/month, and we can see from the sidebar that we have 3k users per 6 months (estimate for number of active users). That means approximately 7c/month per user.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to chew them. I don't know how you're supposed to get any of the oyster flavour otherwise.

What do you mean by "do"? Are you looking for advice on how to interact with them? Or what society should do to help them?

Good to know I can safely let my anxiety grow. Thanks OP!

I'm amused by this 301.

Naw, that definitely defies the laws of physics.

What's wrong with the chargers? We have one of those brushes here and it just lives on the charger when not in use. We've never had any issues.

Only if you eat it under your umbrella

 

I want to get an idea of how people generally feel over the course of the day. Feel free to submit multiple answers at different times.

 

By metadata, I'm talking about things like text descriptions of a photo/video and where they come from, or an explanation of what a certain binary blob contains, its format, how to use it, etc.

The best solution I have right now is xattrs, but those are dependent on the file system, and there's no guarantee that they will stay when the files get moved, especially if the person moving them is unaware of its existence. The alternative is to keep a plaintext file with this metadata alongside every photo/video/binary/etc, but that would be a huge pain to keep in sync since both files have to be moved together.

So my question to you: do you keep this kind of metadata? If so, how do you manage them?

 

With the rapid advances we're currently seeing in generative AI, we're also seeing a lot of concern for large scale misinformation. Any individual with sufficient technical knowledge can now spam a forum with lots of organic looking voices and generate photos to back them up. Has anyone given some thought on how we can combat this? If so, how do you think the solution should/could look? How do you personally decide whether you're looking at a trustworthy source of information? Do you think your approach works, or are there still problems with it?

 

Is there a community meant for anything that doesn't currently fit into the existing communities?
