There have been a few times where I found Google's AI mode useful. But most of the time I just want regular search results.

I'm among the people who finally moved to DuckDuckGo as my default. And for the occasional time when I want some AI mode I know how to get to Google.

Mine is 2041.

When I was working at Microsoft I got transferred over to GitHub for awhile and someone there noticed my ID and made a big deal out of me having a 4-digit ID. :)

I never thought about it before then.

I play viola, and usually it's only the cello suites that are played on viola. But I fell in love with the sonatas and partitas. They're just incredible. The only one that I ever learned fully and performed was the second partita. Of course, on viola you have to play them down a 5th but they still work beautifully and sound great.

I think what's almost shocking about this is that Google seemed so great in the beginning. "Don't Be Evil" was even like an internal code of conduct slogan or something.

I never worked there and have no inside knowledge of what happened. Did they get taken over by MBAs who gained control of the company? Was it always evil and we were just misled the whole time? Something else?

How does elixir_pack work? Is it bundling BEAM to run on iOS devices? Does Apple allow that?

Years ago I worked at Xamarin, and our C# compiler compiled C# to native iOS code but there were some features that we could not support on iOS due to Apple's restrictions. Just curious if Apple still has those restrictions or if you're doing something different?

I have a 2018 Model 3 and your description of BYD is exactly how I would describe my Tesla. It feels cheap and plasticky and it creaks. I also briefly had a Model 3 rental car that was newer than mine (but I don't know what year it was) and it also felt the same.

I'd love to be able to configure it to use OpenAI API but with a custom hostname. I found some comments in a forum about how to configure that, but they were pretty old and didn't seem to work anymore.

Thank you! Sorry I missed that.

What kind of 3d printer do you use? Do you like it, or are there things that others do that you wish it did?

Asking because I'm interested in getting one, but I know very little about them and have no idea what to research to help me decide.

“Free speech absolutist”. What a joke.
