The screenshot from the page itself (the split original/translated) does not translate the image labels. Is that on purpose? It only translates text and does not do OCR?

I guess it is a joke site but the questions are very real, maybe a bit too focused on databases and javascript. Is there a purpose for all of this?

I remember people using Yahoo and AltaVista a lot. And before gmail everyone had a yahoo email (if they didn't already have a hotmail). Times change, kings fall from grace.

xhigh tells it to overthink and re check everything. Low tells it to only do the minimum thinking necessary. I would suggest to give qwen medium which doesn't inject any thinking directives into it and also to give as much context as you can, ideally around 500k tokens or even 1M if you can. Big complex tasks like these make the model hit the compaction trigger a lot and they end up re thinking the same thing several times in my experience.

devenv also has tasks/services. For example you need to start redis, then your db, then seed it, and only then start the server. All of that could be aliases, yeah, but if you define them as aliases you can have them all up with `devenv up`. It even supports dependencies between tasks ("only run the db after migrations ran")

Kagi Translate is now available as an app for Android and iOS!

The app supports over 248 languages and offers context-aware image translation, live voice-to-voice conversations, and a rich dictionary with audio, to name just a few of its features.

I use my Meta Quest 3 with Termux & Termux X11 to run full desktop apps, and it works like a charm. No emulation, too! Native ARM64!

I wouldn't put it in past tense...

The only thing you'd achieve doing that is to change the "main function" of a device to somethings silly, like a thermostat being sold as an art decor with the optional additional of functioning as a thermostat too.

A lot of times they are converted to BigInt and then stored as strings so different languages don't mess with the real value

Materialized views are a great tool for aggregating data in CH since they are automatically updated on insert from the original table. I recommend you to take a look and try it out, maybe it'll go down to single digit milliseconds!

3. Normal people accept surveillance and techies are tracked down / silenced.

Given our current surveillance state with social networks, I don't see (1) or (2) as real options.

Drowning in my own shower is a new kind of fear you've just unlocked on me
