I mean, you have to uncompress an image to display it anyway, so it would've made no difference.

I second this. I'll be very hesitant to buy in if it's locked to a cloud service. And people are waking up to this, with the Bambu controversy and all. Please don't make this mistake.

Fascinating. I love seeing practical applications of computer vision. I want to understand how image embeddings work.

I wonder how practical it would be to add specific multidimensional similarity metrics the user could adjust. For example, if they didn't care whether it was a photo or drawing, but still had to be the same type of object. Or if they didn't care about the art style. Or if it had to be an SUV driving thru a river, but they don't care what colour SUV.

In Australia the government legally mandated that I (and most of the country) am not permitted to have a wired internet connection above 25mbit/s. I am very bandwidth constrained.

Every Pebble model used an LCD display. It being epaper has to be one of the most pervasive myths in tech history. It was a low powered, reflective LCD, so it did improve on other LCDs in those areas somewhat, but it wasn't eink technology.

Pebble Time used an LCD display just like every other Pebble

Pebble had an LCD screen. It didn't use Eink at all. You can look this up, it was an LCD display manufactured by Sharp.

Which watch has an e-ink(/epaper) display? I can only think of Watchy. Pebble was LCD.

They kept the wrong stalk :/ I wanted the mode stalk kept, I don't mind the buttons for indicators.

In right hand drive countries, the indicator and mode change are now on the same side, so you have to do them with the same hand one after the other.

Thankyou, I was looking for something like this the other day. Ended up screen recording. I'll check this out when I'm not at work.

As Burnie Burns pointed out on Morning Somewhere this morning... wasn't the censorship when the US banned tiktok that led to this in the first place? China censors certain posts, the US banned a whole platform.

My dad is 74 and only drank alcohol one time in his life, no smoking or drugs and healthy diet. And it shows. He looks and feels fantastic for his age, you'd think he was about 55, and he's not on any regular medication, which doctors keep saying is exceptionally rare at that age.

ClassyJacket — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 03:46:35 +0000

I don't get why they do this.

Email validation can be done by sending an email to the specified address. Why bother differentiating between "invalid" and "valid but doesn't exist"?

Just check there's an @ symbol with something before it and something after it and if so, send it an email.

Any reason not to do it this way?

...Why did they not have a backup? Were they not aware their computer could break or get stolen?
