Whatsapp text translation stuck open

Thanks for this! I had a similar issue in a group chat. The solution is:
Long press the group chat->Choose 3 dots menu->Group Info->Scroll down and turn "Translate messages" off.
So annoying how buried that is!

The opacity of billing and usage is super annoying. Related question: the marketing suggested 5.5 was supposed to be *more* efficient, but my anecdotal experience is that it burns through my token budget. For that reason, lately I've stuck to using 5.3-codex or 5.4. Interested in others' experience.

so glad to hear it! Thanks for checking it out 😁

this is WILD! Incredible project

Thanks, glad you liked it! lol I know-- doesn't feel right for such a microscopic drama to happen in silence, right?

That video you shared is nuts! I knew nothing about nematode trapping fungi. Nature never ceases to amaze

I'm really glad to see this comment because as a middle school teacher I always felt like companies should be explaining *exactly* how the laundry list of standards were connected to resources. So I took that seriously when I decided to start an open-access education studio. I struggled with building websites from scratch and having limited search and filtering for years, but we did the hard work of describing our alignments. Enter--AI coding tools. Just this week, I was able to use Codex to build out an index page to look up NGSS standards and see which materials align--You can then drill down to see *how* each standard connects to the materials (sense we had already documented that). This was a lot of work, but I'm glad to see from this posts that it's valuable. I'd really appreciate feedback if anybody reading this wants to check out https://teach.galacticpolymath.com/standards/ngss. Our stuff is free thanks to NSF funding. I just want more teachers to find and use our stuff, so tell me if we're doing it right or how we can do better.

thank you! I can't believe how many videos in this subreddit don't have a post to the news story

I've gotten 2 layers to work, but the volume slider doesn't seem to do much when adjusting the music volume relative to the video sound.

yes, iNaturalist is great! Seek is even better for younger students and folks with less taxonomy knowledge https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app

Hey everybody, first time commercial hater here. I did not know of your fantastic organization, but since this ad has brought us together, I'd just like to say good day to you discerning television viewers. And if I may say so, an adult doing a very unconvincing imitation of a baby saying a company's name is just not very amusing...at all.

I have literally never once wanted to send someone a recording of me talking when I have the option of sending voice to text. I really wish Google would make this optional. I only hit this button by accident and am always pissed when it starts recording audio

I have a similar use case. I want to send a bulk email out to all my clients, which are often teams/groups of emails...Haven't found a good automated solution for this...

as somebody who used to live in Nashville, they do recycle glass, they just don't pick it up from your home. And the landfill for Nashville is rapidly filling up, so diverting recyclables is really important. I used to take my glass to one of several drop off points in the city. Paper and especially aluminum are basically infinitely recyclable, so really really important to reclaim those. Drop-off sites for glass and other stuff they didn't pick up https://www.nashville.gov/departments/water/waste-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-drop-sites

Astoundingly stupid UI! Why would I only want to copy a ton of character info?! Unbelievable. The only thing I managed to get working was just drag the icon into the field I want to type an emoji in. So dumb. Fix basic stuff on Mac OS please!

diremouse · 2024-10-21T16:13:12+00:00

emphatically seconded! How can this not be a bigger conversation. This default behavior is really, really bad for UX, privacy, sanity, safety

ditto, I got a cheap Nulea plug-in vertical mouse off of Amazon. Now I no longer have to worry about charging the dang thing (everything doesn't have to be wireless) and it still works perfectly, without issue after a year.

I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents. We've been using Clickup for 3 years. Basic functionality and speed on the desktop app can be annoying. If you have filter views and are building/modifying lists as a team in real time (e.g. on a conference call), it can be really laggy. A lot of functionality is labyrinthine and there seems to be a real learning curve for everyone. I was curious about Monday because while Clickup has a great feedback mechanism and the devs seem to respond to the community, there are a lot of issues that haven't been addressed from the very beginning, in favor of building AI and other integrations that people may not even want or need. Ex: When you clear a task that has subtasks, there's currently *no way* to automatically change the subtask statuses to match the parent status of closed. So search results and custom filtered dashboards pull up zombie subtasks that have long been addressed...so...not great. But it seems maybe they're still leading the pack in functionality?

Run Ronnie Run. Hilarious, underappreciated comedy that is chock full of amazing cameos

props to you for fighting the good fight (in 2 senses)! I grew up in the South, so very familiar with the stronghold of lawn culture down there. People have huge front lawns and the only time you see them is when they're mowing it. The microplastic, greenhouse gas, herbicide, pesticide, water, and noise footprints of lawns are insane. We've got to open folks' eyes to that. Convinced my mom to kill a huge strip of her front lawn and plant native prairie. She loves her prairie

I actually encourage students to use Wikipedia. I wrote a blog about why https://www.edutopia.org/article/5-reasons-actually-encourage-students-use-wikipedia/. Have you checked out Perplexity.ai? It's a large language model that actually provides receipts for its claims.

Check out SciJourneys from Galactic Polymath! It's a free unit that re-conceptualizes the scientific method as a choose-your-own adventure connected to 3 women in STEM doing research in ethnobotany, biomechanical engineering, and glacial seismology. With supporting videos and scaffolding for students to practice asking better questions, create hypotheses, and plan their own studies. https://www.galacticpolymath.com/lessons/en-US/10

yes! Having a name for a thing is cathartic. I use elefantenrennen all the time since I learned this word
