In Ruby, chat = RubyLLM.chat is a method call since Ruby doesn't have properties, only methods. Dropping parentheses is standard Ruby style, familiar to Ruby developers. While adding parentheses is allowed, it doesn't match Ruby's readability. The library aims for a clean style consistent with Ruby conventions.

Yeah, I ditched the Hue Hub last year and paired them all directly with Home Assistant via Zigbee

Glad it wasn't just me. I found them challenging to grok due to their complexity and lack of clarity in key aspects such as movement, grid layout, and strategic objectives.

*The fact that the pencil symbol controls the number of moves per turns, which was 3 by default, confused my learning process for a good 10 minutes as I had no idea what was going on.

Yep, after dealing with all the frustration of "high efficiency" washing machines that would constantly have error codes mid cycle, not wash clothes well, etc. I ended up paying more for a Speed Queen. It uses traditional technology without complex electronics that ensures simplicity, longevity, and ease of use.

While it's tempting to see free will as self-evident, scientific evidence suggests that our actions are determined by a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and prior experiences. Dismissing this perspective as edgy or hubristic risks ignoring important insights into human behavior. Recognizing the absence of free will can foster empathy and compassion, as we become more aware of the factors that contribute to human choices and behaviors.

As a longtime pocketknife enthusiast one search criteria I would love to see is a way to filter by rear flipper, thumbstud or thumb hole opener. I spent an hour last week trying to find a Kershaw that doesn't have a rear flipper tab as they tend to open in my pocket. It seems like almost all their models lately have rear flipper tabs but I would prefer a thumbstud.

Same boat. Ugh.

After over 45 minutes https://status.aws.amazon.com/ now shows "AWS Management Console - Increased Error Rates"

I guess 100% is technically an increase.

technically not the exact word but malware is just a portmanteau for "malicious software", which is in the screenshot

Some of the larger website builders/hosting , e.g. Wix don’t even give you access to server logs.

Sure you can setup and run your own site and CMS easily enough, but running even hourly bulk log ingestion is usually not as straight forward and the information you can derive is very limited comparative to js based tracking.

Matamo ( formerly Piwik) is decent but still takes some time to setup and get right.

The main thing that the analytics tells you if you are promoting anything, is which of those promotions is actually working and driving visitors to your site.

If you are using Gmail/G-Suite I would check out either https://mailplaneapp.com/ or https://www.kiwiforgmail.com/. Both are decent native Mac app wrappers for the Gmail/G-Suite web client.

The difference is all of those supercomputers, machine learning algorithms and engineers on the other side of the screen working with massive amounts of data points about every single interaction across networks and applications tuned down to the individual level. Never before in history has this been possible.

Same thing happened to me with macOS Sierra, but it started working after installing the latest Fuse and then rebooting.
