Most of the examples of "coup de grâce" are wrong. That was a bad choice of example phrase to put on the website. The last word should be pronounced like "grass". Everyone seems to be saying "coup de gras" (rhyming with bra) instead, which is a funny malapropism. Native English speaker, French is my second language.

Otherwise it's a neat idea!

It's a standard for accessing confidence and reliability of a source. See admiralty code

Ian M Banks covers this in great detail in his science fiction books. Highly recommended.

Haven't heard a single story like this from Ireland in the last 20 years, but I'm happy to be corrected. If anything the police here are too lenient on children running amok. It's common to see 9 year olds flying around on e-scooters. The UK might be a different story.

To any ollama.com dudes and dudettes reading this: why won't you offer any embedding models on your subscription when they are readily supported by the software and fairly efficient to run?

I think if you take a global outlook, you'll find I am not the outlier. Wasting food is a recent Western phenomenon.

I have two kids and this is pure bollox. They'll eat what they are given if they are hungry enough. Or eat the leftovers yourself. Cook the fruit and make compote. We never throw out edible food, virtually zero waste. Just make an effort.

What an obnoxious comparison. Any engineer good enough to get into Meta has had their pick of tech jobs for the past decade. They could easily live comfortably, but less well paid, working for a myriad of less exploitative tech companies. Your average coal plant worker had no such options.

Stunning hypocrisy.

Please keep Assistant, it's an easy to use alternative to OpenAI, and is not intrusive. I will say that I find the GUI infuriating though... It's never clear where the cursor is when you start a new chat. Don't understand the low contrast layout with too much whitespace.

Another Irishman here. Stop trying to harken back to some notional "good old days" that didn't exist. People are better off than they've ever been. Energy was always expensive relative to income. When I was a kid in the 80s, we weren't allowed to turn on the central heating unless there were arctic conditions. The main issue driving COL issues is the complete lack of social housing construction for the last 15 years. You can't blame the tree huggers for that. Renewable energy is a matter of national security, and prevents our hard earned money being sent overseas to regimes like Russia and all the charmers in the Middle East. Our very first electricity plant as a free state was hydro ffs.

What would you be spending that money on exactly? If you can't afford to unplug on the weekend, spend time with family / friends, then you are poor.

That name is taken, especially for anything web related.

Search is great, using Kagi. Just bought the family plan, never going back to google. Also FastMail.
