You cannot know what verifications they use. I could argue the disabled textbox is some sort part of the verification process. Humans will click on it while bots won't.

How can you say it's a -really- nice cake without ever having tasted it?

Wind + Battery doesn't exist. Wind and solar renewables are dependent on natural gas plants at this moment. This is why nuclear is still a consideration, it's more "green" then most "green" energy.

You're missing the point. I don't care who wrote it, I want to know if it works.

Also, you didn't address my remarks about your clock. Can you can show me a picture of it working in action?

You should be critical. If you made something, you should proof that it works. Especially in todays world. This article contains no proof that their work actually works.

Don't think it's fair to think any negative comment is from some anti-LLM-axe. I seriously gave you the benefit of the doubt, that was the whole reason I even looked further into your work.

It's no shame to be critical in todays world. Delivering proof is something that holds extra value and if I would create an article about the wonderful things I've created, I'd be extra sure to show it.

I looked at your clock project and when I saw that your updated version and improved version of your clock contained AI artifacts, I concluded that there's no proof of your work.

Sorry to have made that conclusion and I'm sorry if that hurt your feelings.

I also managed to find a 1000 line .cpp file in one of the projects. The article's content doesn't match his apps quality. They don't bring any value. His clock looks completely AI generated.

LLM's keep messing up even on a plain Laravel codebase..

I rather have the fingerprint button!

I had a Sony Xperia Z1 mini, that was close to the size of a SE but had double the battery lifetime.

I did downgrade back to my SE (from iPhone 16). Big selling point (aside from its size and rounded corners) is the physical button with fingerprint. I missed that even more than I disliked carrying a big phone around.

Piracy = Piracy. Stop doing mental gymnastics to justify stealing. If you rip a movie and put it up on the internet, it's not preservation, it's piracy.

FYI WiFi leaks the same metadata, so turn that off too if you disable BT.

Everyone prefers voting.. But to be able to vote, a vote must be happening. Protests are sometimes the only way to make a vote happen in the first place.

They are also a good communication tool for the world to see what the people are struggling with.

Similar? Very different. The HKmap.live app was build and marketed directly for the protests. It tracked social media and geolocated where the police and protests were happening, etc. This is a big distinction.

Is this true? My understanding was that Twitter was not really moderated, because of Dorsey?

Terrible. You cannot 'ls' if ls is not the right answer. Completely useless.

How does Kagi know what is AI stuff? I don't see how they can 'just turn it off'
