Awesome! Great job!

I made something similar to wish my wife a happy birthday with GDevelop/JavaScript. I thought I had opened the source up... I should do that.

Does it work with huge files? I'm talking about something like 50k lines.

Edit: I'm currently trying it with a mere 1.2k JS file (openai mode) it's only 70% done after 20 minutes. Even if it works therodically with 50k LOC file, I don't think you should try.

It has this in the README

> Large files may take some time to process and use a lot of tokens if you use ChatGPT. For a rough estimate, the tool takes about 2 tokens per character to process a file:

> echo "$((2 * $(wc -c < yourscript.min.js)))" > So for refrence: a minified bootstrap.min.js would take about $0.5 to un-minify using ChatGPT.

> Using humanify local is of course free, but may take more time, be less accurate and not possible with your existing hardware.

Is UNITES > UNITED a typo? Would that cause any weird legal consequences, or are typos (if it is a typo) like this just accepted?

We really just need more places. We basically have the same number of tourist destinations as when the population was 1/3 the size.

No one is making more places to visit.

I agree - either lower people's standards or try push a "beauty is in eye of the beholder" mindset

For example Gary, Indiana. You only hear the bad things, but never that it has great beaches and trails, if you're willing to settle for a bit less on everything else. Here's a video I took a few months ago https://imgur.com/PItmK2v, I don't think people necessarily picture these sort of views from the armpit of Indiana but it's a daily reality here.

I have a https://www.birdie.design/en-us (I think it was previously called a Canary) mounted in my living room, and it's a great lil device! Overly dramatic, fun, and easy to know whether air quality is good or bad - would recommend!
kingsloi commented on It's OK to feed wild birds – here are some tips for doing it the right way   worldsensorium.com/its-ok... · Posted by u/dnetesn
kingsloi · a year ago
One of the best things I've done recently was install bird feeders that hang from the soffits of my house. My main level is on the the top floor, and seeing all the birds while I'm at work or on the sofa is such a joy. They keep me, my cats, and toddler entertained... but having to refill every week gets expensive

kingsloi commented on You've just spent $400 on a baby monitor. Now you need a subscription   theregister.com/2023/10/0... · Posted by u/Bender
kingsloi · 2 years ago
I purchased a Miku when I brought home my newborn from the ICU, who had 24/7 oxygen needs. Although not 100% accurate, the Miku did give my wife and I peace of mind when we didn't connect the pulse oximeter and laid our baby down in her crib.

Hearing that Miku will now be subscription-based is really disappointing. From being at the top, to bottom with the other wifi monitors. We'll still use as a monitor, but wont be recommending to anyone anymore like we used to.

A really great trick I learned is to use the 3 way calling feature of your phone. Call the insurance company, go through the please go away don't bother us menu system (now with voice recognition!), wait on hold for an agent, speak with the agent and tell them you are going to conference in your doctor's billing department, and call your doctor. Have them speak directly with each other.

This is also usually necessary to find out if something will be covered.

That's a great tip/trick! Thanks for sharing!
