Light mode is pretty hard on the eyes in dim lighting, the same way dark mode is in full sun. Health-wise, it’s best to decrease the amount of light as bed time approaches and that includes screens beaming light into our face.

My computer defaults to light mode every morning and then I toggle dark later in the day when it becomes the more comfortable setting. So, for me it’s not really about “preference”.

Very happy to have dark mode Wikipedia for late night queries!

There is more to AI than self driving cars and LLMs.

For example, I work at a company that trained a deep learning model to count potatoes in a field. The computer can count so much faster than we can, it’s incredible. There are many useful, but not so glamorous, applications for this sort of technology.

I think it’s more that we will slowly piece together bits of useful AI while the hyped areas that can’t deliver will die out.

While I appreciate the otherwise smooth operation of the instance, my main reason for choosing lemm.ee is your approach to defederation.

Stay strong against the haters!

I think OP was referring to HGVs and not pickups.

As a frequent train passenger, I’m not overly concerned.

Seems a bit too weak to derail, probably only delay.

Seems over-complicated…

I could imagine an autonomous, on-demand rural train service. Due to the low expected traffic, it seems like you could just build some additional sidings and use a more conventional design.

Only managed to travel to Japan once but really loved walking around. Metros and trains were quite approachable even without a smartphone.

Definitely the most mobile I’d felt without a car at that point in my life!

Seems like a headline out of 2008 🤔

My commute is on steel wheels (train).

I still mourn Inbox, it was the best email experience I’ve ever had.

Shocking they had one to begin with…

I know they are out of the club but maybe still interesting.

In England and Wales, the figure for 2021 was 62.5%, down from 64.3% in 2011 (~500k households fewer).
