Who taught you Mexican Spanish in school? Im always hearing about how Spanish speakers not from Spain struggle with Spanish in school. You didn't learn vosostros?

well_actulily · 21 days ago

Anecdata, but I took Spanish all four years in high school in Southern California—I knew of vosotros, but was never really taught it

Their practice of comingling SKUs eroded so much trust I had over the years.

I suppose it would take a seperate article to dig into the financial aspects—advertising and data collection as revenue for the manufacturers.

I never connect my TVs to WiFi, and I loathe the day they start slipping cell antennas into these things.

No, not actually. But the mods do remove political content, so this whole thread will be gone soon.

well_actulily · 2 months ago

All content is political. Some gets removed.

According to Pew’s most recent National Public Opinion Reference Survey (Feb–Jun 2025), 46% of Americans identify with or lean toward the Republican Party, and 45% identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/fact-sheet/party-affili...

In a truly random U.S. sample you would expect Republican identifiers to be nearly as numerous as Democratic identifiers.

Not sure where you got your numbers from.

Those in the United States who choose to contribute to a collaborative encyclopedia likely don't mirror the population as a whole; it's reasonable to assume they're more formally educated and more technically oriented, traits that tend, on average, to correlate with liberal or left-leaning political views.

Hey! For the real-time editor I have an invisible textarea in the background with a monospace font and I'm rendering SVGs on top of it, each character is a React component.

well_actulily · 6 months ago

With heavy use of SVG <symbol>, one would hope!

Could I use this to iterate over my AI generated code until it's not detectable anymore? So essentially the moment you publish this tool it stops working?

This is essentially the adversarial generator/discriminator set-up that GANs use.

well_actulily commented on NYC's Upset Election Was Drawn Along an Odd Line: Car Ownership jalopnik.com/1895759/nyc-... · Posted by u/rntn

Jalopnik's ownership history is as spotted and confusing as any web media brand out there. It was part of the Gizmodo group for years, which was bought by private equity and split into separate themed components merged with other media holding companies bought by the same private equity. Four months ago it was sold to something called Static Media, yet another media holding company that I've never heard of, but given the about us page showing a whole lot of VPs and C-suites who look about 25 or so, I'm not sure I would expect this one to last any longer than all the previous owners.

well_actulily · 9 months ago

Notably the litigation-induced bankruptcy of Gawker Media (of which Jalopnik was a part) in 2016 is the reason why Jalopnik wound up owned by these private equity groups. Most of these publications are shells of their former selves, but I suppose it could be argued that a lot of written media has gone that way—Gawker-associated and otherwise.

Used it for a 120 day trip to Asia, but the UI got slow after adding more than 30 days of itinerary.

Its still okay to use, I just had to break the trip up into individual countries, but was hoping it wouldn't clog up so much.

well_actulily · a year ago

We used it for a two week trip to Singapore and Japan last year, and yeah, I agree the app performance for packed trips is pretty rough.
