Biology majors: intense focus

Computer Science Majors: Lost their mind

I actually sent a bunch of prompts through image generators till it gave something close to what I wanted

Using generative AI to try and visualize generative AI

It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

I’d imagine it’s the same as personal finance apps. A spreadsheet can be enough, and it is enough for a lot of people, but a custom app can make things easier:

• reducing the friction of keeping track
• built in visualizations
• alerts
• integrating the data with other tools

etc.

Something being FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe / ethical, but a LOT of FOSS apps are designed with those principles in mind.

However, being FOSS means that if an app claims that it is safe / ethical (ex. In this case, not storing data anywhere but on your device), you or an experienced peer can check the code to verify that fact.

Very cool! This could go in !coolguides@lemmy.ca as a post of its own

Oh wow, I assumed they were related :)

Good note, I didn’t notice that in the original post. I edited the title

Huh

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/motel

Blend of motor +‎ hotel, from the original Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo in California, USA, established in 1925 by Arthur Heineman (1878–1974).

While looking for a term to describe the original post, and came across this. I’m going to make a separate post about it

I loved the translucent things (or even pure transparent)

Found an article with a few more

I wonder if there is any pattern to those numbers

edit: ah I didn’t notice, thanks all :)

There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

https://archivebox.io/

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Makes me think of this classic:

Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

We’re the giants in their ‘Human and the grass-stalk’ story

Research and organized information on a topic, however obvious it might be, is an important step towards policy changes. We also see those changes from time to time, for example some recent EU decisions

Taking a look at the current sidebar, it might be nice to reorganize the stats section completely

What I’m thinking is:

By default it will only show some stats, where users can select what stats they want displayed in the settings. This way I can hide the stuff I don’t care about, instead of having to look through the already busy list.

**Statistics:**                       [✏️edit]

- Monthly Active Users: 4,000
- Total Subscribers: 30,000

[ v see all v ]

Then expanding the box will give the full list of stats:

[ ^ collapse ^ ]


**Statistics:**

Active Users: 

- By day: 800
- By week: 1,200
- By month: 4,000
- By year: 24,100

Subscribers:

- Total: 30,000
- Local: 12,000

Comments: 
- Total: 81,000
- Today: 510
- This week: 1,315

[... etc]

It opens up the possibility of including more items in that list. We could also replace the expand option with a link to a full statistics dashboard page.
