agreed. Additionally it may reduce the power of fringe groups from pressuring private companies who are doing legal business. The recent Steam and itch.io takedowns due to collective shout come to mind.

These days, there are some engines with (oil immersed) belts, but that's for fuel efficiency, not longevity. Chains last longer, typically, although I used to have a 97 Honda VFR that had neither. They started with chains in earlier models but had reliability issues so switched to straight cut gears. Man I miss the way those things sounded -- like a supercharger whine. Amazing

This is a great and important topic, one that I’ve bumped into against in past code. I think I understand the basics of time/zones/storage.

However, on one codebase I worked on in the past, dates were stored in mysql in a datetime field, with the time set to 00:00:00, iirc.

I’m hoping someone knowledgeable about this topic could comment on this. I never could discover why it was done that way. It wrong? Is it right? Based on the other threads here, it seems wrong, but maybe there’s a non-obvious reason to do it this way?

I also have YT premium. On desktop, I use firefox and the popout video feature. It is easily resizable and movable. Downside is that js-player controls still show on the webpage, not the popout. On ios, once paused, just tap anywhere on the video anywhere there isn't a widget. That hides all the video controls for me.

Edit: Also there are keyboard controls for going frame-by-frame, if you need that much control. Or there was last time I used it a long time ago.

not many I suspect, but enough. :)

Do we need some way to grade these services based on vertical or use-case?

I actually tried the same tech questions to multiple services when I first started playing around with these commercial LLMs. I would copy and paste the same question to GPT4, MS Bing (I soon stopped using that since I already have a sub to gpt4), claude, bard, and recently You (https://you.com) and while Claude.ai was rarely as good as GPT4, it wasn't too far off for tech questions.

I'm not very creative, so maybe the use of it helping with writing fiction or roleplay might help me, I haven't tried it yet.

Did you try Claude with non-fictional tasks, and if so, how does that compare to GPT4?

Don't make me start submitting aol links.
