I wonder that even though I don’t have personal hardware to run these at the moment, if it makes sense to download and keep a copy of some models like these in case access/licensing changes in future and/or hardware becomes cheaper.

Can always replace the backup copy with a better one on next release.

Or is someone running an initiative like this, such as Archive.org folks?

I hate the whole concept of QR code for a menu. I have no idea who came up with the idea and why restaurants thought that is a good idea. Yes, physical menus cost a little money to print, but last forever. Unless the restaurant has a new menu every day, it just doesn’t make sense.

Maybe next time I’ll just walk out and let the restaurant know why I’m walking out.

I don’t think that’s peppermint. That’s pudina so spearmint. Mentha spicata.

It seems to aid in digestion, soothe upset stomach, so maybe it does.

There are two types of peppermint supplements being sold: mentha pipereta that this study looked at, and mentha arvensis.

I wonder if mentha arvensis has the same effect. Supplements vs mint tea would be another interesting thing to study in future.

Why are mass weddings stupid? They save each person shit ton of cash and end result is the same.

I’ll argue that over the top destination weddings are the ones that are stupid. Save the money for the down payment for a home.

No it doesn’t.

Why? Because I don’t use it as a TV AND a set top box. I use it just as a TV that is connected to an AppleTV

And before when I was using the inbuilt smart TV, I had disabled various android services related to ads on my Sony TV, and run pi-hole that blocks ads.

Similar work flow.

I have to, at times keep reminding it if it did code review before committing, which it fails to do at times. Also, even a glance at times has revealed issues that I’ve had to discuss and undo etc.

But yes, it gets very tiring just having to click yes yes yes..

Makes sense. Actually to expand, I believe this can make a lot of sense for industrial robots and such which have a more or less fixed job and latency matters more, so a well tested model may be more valuable than need to keep updating them

How does that work, as in re-etching of silicon? Any pointers to read?
