Pretty cool, I got as far as secret messages urging me too engage the project chat but there was none, I just get redirected to a blank express project on withmarble

Maybe that's the point?

Sure seems like the authoritarians love it.

I was hoping this was going to be an awesome new music player, but no, everything new thing is AI now. Welcome to the future

Grass can survive leaves, I don't see dead patches on my lawn because I didn't move the leaves around

Well maybe that's the issue, I don't spend 1000 hours on my lawn

I live in a very leafy area with a lot of deciduous forest cover, so we're no stranger to leaves. I have never understood leafblowing. It seems like such busy work. It's not hugely common here but I have seen people carefully shepherding leaves into little piles on pathways, battling against the entropy of a light breeze. I'm sure there's a good reason but it always just seems like the ultimate expression of man trying to conquer nature in every way

If this lives up to the demo it's a huge development for anyone looking to do realistic tts without paying to use an API

I don't think I've ever seen such a click bait title on hn

> It also seems clear that this administration currently views almost everything as a threat to U.S. national security — including its own allies and partners.

Also furniture, apparently. And escalators.

My first time hearing of this and I'm very interested.

Does anyone know if it can run a full desktop mode when docked? Windows phones and some Samsung phones used to be able to do this and it was a neat trick.

I would love to have a phone I could hook up to a hotel TV with a keyboard and use like a lite desktop

I actually find a bump better for putting your phone down on a flat surface, and my logic is this:

If your camera lens is flat to the body of the phone, it's more prone to being scratched on a table. With a bump, the lens becomes slightly elevated as the phone balances between the bottom of the case and the edge of the bottom of the camera bump, giving the lens(es) a tiny clearance

We're lucky enough where we live to have a surviving map of the area from the 1600s. On this map, north is at the bottom, and south is at the top, as there was no convention that said it should be otherwise. From the same mapping survey there are other maps that are not oriented merely south but also southwest, southeast, West entirely. The survey taken in the 1600s was not even consistent from map to map - it was enough to show a compass to indicate which way North is.

These iPads I'm using are ipad2, well over a decade at this point

The norden bombsight was a game changing piece of tech that allowed more precision than had been possible.

The RAF tended to carpet bomb at night, but the USAF wanted to precision bomb by day.

It was nowhere near as precise as today's tech but it vastly improved during the course of the war.

Ultimately it didn't work because the theory didn't work. German manufacturing was not disrupted by precision bombing enough to matter

Masters of the air also touches on this, and some of the disastrous missteps during the raids that led to aircraft loss
