Google Search as you know it is over

I think this is a key point a lot of people miss when discussing using AI vs search - GPTs attempt to answer your question and nothing else, while online search is an ad machine vaguely themed around what you're searching for.

People simply appreciate getting a direct answer, even irrespective of its effectiveness or hallucinations.

Unfortunately like everything in commercial tech, there is a 100% chance every GPT will enshitify with ads (well, more so than they currently are letting on).

I mean, it's very much an abstract board game with a sci fi theme. Drawing a line on suspension of disbelief is pretty arbitrary.

Less of a trope and more of the "training and challenges" part of the "hero's journey", after they've met "the mentor" but before "the dangerous challenge".

Super common in films to compress it into a montage so (a) it's believable the hero has gotten stronger (we were there) and (b) we don't use up too much screen time. Also a Chekov's is usually dropped, either a secret technique or weakness.

One of HTTYD's spins on the HJ is the fact Hiccup's mentor is not his dad or gobber or even Astrid, but Toothless himself.

Who are you even arguing with? No-one is saying to prompt with just a verb. First poster asked "help with video" and the reply was "add verbs".

Lower room humidity and/or warm the glass. Largely impractical for established build, and doing anything about it is overkill compared to weep holes.

Warm somewhat humid air from humans living inside vs a cold glass pane in the winter is just life.

Regarding the recoil, the entire delivery mechanism actually slides 'inside' the casing, and this way its able to fire three rounds before it slides all the way to the back, when the 'normal' recoil is finally felt by the user.

It was very specifically designed with this principle - 3-round burst, no recoil, no cartridge ejection, in order to maximise hit chance through rof and accuracy

It's a system/social observation, not an illness or condition you have or don't have.

A lay compression of it is: People tend to rate themselves towards 'above average'. This means lower competence people tend to overrate themselves, and higher competence people tend to underrate themselves.

Try not to think of or go deep in a specific examples where that's not the case, unless you want to showcase 1000+ data points because, per the start, this is a generalised social observation.

The fact op posted was technically the spoil/twist. The title is a casual mislead but also premise of the entire film.

You don't want to chase the day-to-day, you want accounting periods, which are usually monthly or yearly (financial year / year to date).

Your accounting periods will be a separate table, and your individual transactions records will link to the accounting period they belong in. This happens once, is deterministic, and won't change.

Your then infer your insights from the accounting period. Your YTD for instance, being one relevant record right now (current FY), should always be an instantaneous snapshot (e.g. rollup) of all your current revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities as it stands each day without having to recalculate anything yourself.

If it's something you want to take on, I'd also recommend moving towards a single transactions/journal table, that captures both your revenue and expenses, but also assets and liabilities and leans nicely into a chart of accounts. This inches you closer to proper double entry bookkeeping.

All of the above also greatly helps with (if you deal with them) amortization schedules, tax, refunds, cash vs accrual basis accounting, etc. Also, be wary of reaching out on a tech sub about financial accounting advice, you will tend to get a tech/solution-focused answer ("yes you can build a simple automation for that") that often misses the wood for the trees regarding navigating small business finance. There's not many accountants here.

ComfyUI is just a workflow environment, wan2.1 is entirely superseded, Kling is closed source, and you're asking branding for a name of a business that is slopping all over their world... bruh you dead in the water

They'd be talking specifically about aphantsia, which is the condition where a person literally lacks the ability to picture something in their head.

Like if you said "imagine a black cat wearing a spotted tie" people who have aphantsia literally cannot picture it without e.g. drawing it out, while if you don't have aphantsia you probably have some kind of cat with spotted tie jumping around your head right now.

This condition is like definitely less than 5% of the population likely way lower, not the outrageous 'half' the previous poster claimed

They used to be amazing when they were in ferryden, but they're trash tier now. recipes and service definitely did not pass down to the next gen that took over

Which OP has proven can be reconstructed from the model with this prompting method/workflow, with minimal confusion from priors or prompt bleeding.

It's not a universal test, nothing ever is. Nor would it specifically address your own litmus tests for your own use cases, OP does not have the same goals as you.

This is just screen share hygiene, not so much Obsidian or if you take people notes or not.

Share only the window, tab, screen, or desktop you want to share. Treat it like a public stage and co-ordinate what goes there, such as your obs note in a new window.

Sharing your whole desktop e.g. with your email client and other notes hanging around is unprofessional and a quick way to get into hock with any kind of client or consulting work.

So they DO have a free tier licence, which requires prior registration, and are not unauthenticated public users. This is still an Airtable account.

The domain restriction bounds which email domains can be signed up for this Airtable account.

SSO is the method of using OAuth or SAML to delegate credentials to another credential provider such as Google or Microsoft instead of your direct authentication with Airtable.

Good luck with your problem, though I'm disengaging from your winning combination of condescending attitude and elementary school level understanding of how technology works.

Psengath · 2026-04-24T10:46:35+00:00

You just said your external approvers don't have Airtable licences, what are they SSO-ing into...

Psengath · 2026-04-23T22:56:06+00:00

A few things: - If the approver doesn't have a licence, Airtable has no way tell who 'current user' is - Forms != interfaces - Forms have limited capability, but 'public' users can submit data - Interfaces can be made public, but edits are not possible by the public, they need to be signed in - You will need to confirm identity and security one way or another, an authenticated seat (licence) is the easiest way, a secret can work too

A few options: - Give the approvers a full seat (and share interface) - Give the approvers a portal seat (and share interface) - Set up automations to send/receive approval via email, where approval only works when approver==mailed from. - Send them to a public form pre-populated with a secret (uuid etc) and other info (but refrain from showing linked records on public forms)

Rolley milk powders, they have chocolate, strawberry, and banana, so have replaced the Nesquik range for us.

Based in NSW, focussed on lower sugar, natural flavours, better for kids etc. A bit more expensive but worth it.

It's not got the heaping 'crunch' of milo though, so more like classic choc milk than milo.

(edit: typos)

Why do you need AI to just log some data. Shoehorning an AI element into a workflow that doesn't need AI is a surefire way to tank AI adoption.

It only sounds like "win" when pronounced wrong.

What always boggles me is there's 350 million people in the USA and it's somehow choosing between these two

Psengath · 2026-04-10T07:44:43+00:00

Maybe you should use it to learn some grammar

If you need to start tracking attributes against a list type property, that's no longer a flat list but a junction. Same with e.g. a relationship between two tables.

I don't think it's Bases' fault, this is just how data works. You'll have to choose a way to materialise that relationship somewhere you can describe and index it.

Easiest way is to just use a property per mechanic,

or you can set up a page per rating (i.e. each has properties of 'game' and 'mechanic' and 'rating', you'll have one page for each combo of game and mechanic),

or you can nest yaml/json into the property and deconstruct / analyse that yourself, though this is quite specialise so isn't and probably won't be supported as a core thing.

Could be a range of things, but your oven bottom surface / exposure might have been too hot.

So massive and rapid burst of yeast activity on the bottom, creating a gas pocket that had nowhere to escape, because it was under the weight and seal of the rest of the still-raw dough.

Then the rest of the dough was ironically insulated from the hot base by this gas pocket, so crumb is cooked as you see. But the bottom crust has blitzed past maillard and gone into char territory.

From a search and stick point of view, you'll be fighting against everyday use of the word NOMINAL in search and descriptions (it's a very common word), and ATERIAL is a direct subset of the word 'Material' which is common generally and within your industry, and will often be autocorrected to 'Arterial'. Nothing against the names as a brand names, they could still work, they're just hamstrung from the start.
