  • There should be age walls for some stuff. What that stuff is and how the walls work is up for debate.

    In this situation (a store) using a payment method as the age wall works well. In other use cases it would not be as good.

    If you could pass an age wall with no privacy loss, then most people wouldn't have a problem with it (other than mild annoyance)

    IMO: the new law is overreaching, they needed to set up privacy protecting ID verification system first if they were going to go that far. It's an own goal so far....

  • What are you trusting them with? Most people have already given steam this information.

    It's the best option I can think of, no privacy invasive stuff etc. My only concerns are:

    A) if it's good enough for the government

    B) That it requires you to have a credit card.

  • Badminton is NOT a low cardio sport. For me anyway.

  • The sky adaption of hogfather is pretty good?

    They might be hit and miss though, gone postal really clashed with my mental image and I hated it.

  • I still don't understand why apps these sizes need that many people in the first place, what do they do!?!

  • I switched to Qobuz. They use https://soundiiz.com/ to migrate, I think it was free transfering to them?

    I think it reported a 90% success rate + a few that it picked, but got wrong. It mostly failed on my instrumental stuff, standard stuff was fine.

  • Everyone knows what an email address is, right? (Quiz)

    Going to have to try some of those.... Can you actually register emojis as a domain, or is that just the email validation that allows them?

    Edit: most TLDs don't. Smaller ones do sometimes.

  • Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'

  • Cryptocurrency that is pegged 1-1 against a normal currency. I think they have some limitations though.

  • Is it a payment processor problem, or a card issuer problem though?

  • What about the so called 'stablecoins'?

    (Although those sound dodgy AF to me?, not backed 1-1 anymore?)

  • Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?

  • Why LLMs can't really build software

  • The trick is to split up the tasks into chunks.

    Ask it to identify the blocks.

    Then ask it to identify the connections.

    Then ask it to produce the diagram.

  • The idea of the mental model CAN be done by AI.

    In my experience, if you get it to build a requirements doc first, then ask it to implement that while updating it as required (effectively it's mental state). you will get a pretty good output with decent 'debugging' ability.

    This even works ok with the older 'dumber' models.

    That only works when you have a comprehensive set of requirements available though. It works when you want to add a new screen/process (mostly) but good luck updating an existing one! (I haven't tried getting it to convert existing code to a requirements doc - anyone tried that?)

  • TIL about the Concorde aircraft that flew at twice the speed of sound, and thad passenger flights from NY to London in three hours (versus 7 hours)

  • Ah, I turned off auto play because it would randomly start playing other music instead of continuing my massive playlist....

  • Yeh, found it in the android app (on tracks, not artists). Not there on desktop though.

    I can play the radio on the app to my desktop though.... Guess that works. Not exactly great UX though.

    Thanks for pointing out that it exists though!
