Wouldn’t it also lift you up with a similar amount of force? Similar to putting a fan on a sailboat to blow at the sails, the forces would cancel out somewhat

I’m not sure it would, unless the person’s volume also changes considerably
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 1 week ago:
Yup
The auto naming feature is neat in some cases, like the AI chats themselves
- It’s convenient for searching through 10s or 100s of chats later on
- I spawn new chats often and it’s tedious to name them
- I don’t have a strong preference for what the title is as long as it’s clear what the chat was about
Tab groups don’t hit those points at all
- I’ll have a handful of tab groups
- I don’t make them often
- I have a strong preference for what it’s called, and the AI will have trouble figuring out exactly what I’m using those sites for

It could work for businesses, we already have apps that scan labels to give info on the business practices and things like glassdoor for insight into the employee life

This isn’t the right community for this kind of post, perhaps some programming related community? Even then it might help to talk more about the process and less the product

The developer and the project have profiles in Mastodon, it should be possible to tag them in this thread directly

Neat! Looking forward to trying out the new changes.
By the way, you can use one account to post to all the communities. For you the links would be something like the following:
lemmy.world/c/opensource@lemmy.ml
So e guides here: fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/…/detailed-overview
fedecan.ca/en/guide/…/how-to-open-in-my-instance
You could also keep using multiple accounts, but I find that to be more tedious.

Thanks :)

I found the headline confusing, I think they’re saying

- Comment on xkcd #3119: Flettner Rotor 3 weeks ago:
(copying my comment from another post)
I had to look this one up, I didn’t realize how old the technology was
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flettner_rotor
A Flettner rotor is a smooth cylinder with disc end plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of airflow.[1] The rotor sail is named after the German aviation engineer and inventor Anton Flettner, who started developing the rotor sail in the 1920s.

I looked up some photos of it and I can’t find any pattern. For any particular photo, I’ve seen people give each other a similar look across all age groups

- Comment on What are the ramifications of letting an old domain that was used for email go back into the market? 4 weeks ago:
If the company is gone now then, I guess it would harm whoever bought the rights to the apps or the name? In which case they can contact that entity to sort it out

Crocodiles may have also adapted over time to deal with the changes in our atmosphere, while the dino DNA would not have gone through those changes. They could handwave that problem by saying they combined it with some other DNA or modified it themselves (better hemoglobin?)

I love the UI for this one, it’s unique compared to the others
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 month ago:
I think they’re looking for local “AI” anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there’s no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.
There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn’t be that bad.

- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 1 month ago:
Being able to compare between options would help me pick which one I want to use :)
Alternatively, a way to filter the full list would be helpful. That way I can select the items that I need and see everything that has what I need.
This for example:

It would be cool if there was a table to compare them with, since right now you’d have to open each of them to check.
Thank you for putting it together though!
