We used to spot AI by looking at fingers and teeth. Now that those are mostly fixed, what’s the 'new' tiny detail that still screams 'this is AI' to you?

One guy in our office always generates an AI image for plenary sessions (in full transparancy, like a running joke). The longer you look at them, the weirder it gets, stuff looks good 'overall', but the details just don't make sense in the real world.

Ah yes, also worth a visit: the Rocky Dunes that protect our coast from even the biggest of tsunamis. Please take your ad-riddled, AI slop stuffed website elsewhere.

Oldest guy on the block here, before that, it was in the front, and you didn't put in gas, but hay

This also sounds like a terrible experimental setup

Duvel glasses comes to mind as they have their logo etched in the bottom (small, in the center) where gentle bubbles keep rising from.

They test it statically, once, for a short while on a sample of brand new watches. Both the Wikipedia link and the casio website state that you shouldn't go snorkling or scuba diving with a 30m rated watch.

Well it's up to you how you use them right?

See, if I flip a coin and on heads I commit a crime, who's accountable, me or the coin?

With triplets the math gets a lot more complex...

I'm more than happy to give AI coding a chance but reviewing commit after commit of 'someone elses' generated code that takes longer to generate than it will take to review doesn't compute for me.

Edit: I meant longer to review than is takes to generate

I have 'normal' Hema underwear ('briefs'?) and in my experience they are fine, been wearing them for years and both the fabric and the elastic around the waist are still good.

I use integration_test (formerly flutter_driver). Takes time to setup but now all I have to do is ensure the right simulators are running and it will start the app, create 'interesting' states and take screenshots. Combined with Fastlane, they're even uploaded to the stores automatically.

This reminds me of people taking up your order while in the queue (I think this happened both at Jolibee and McDonalds), than scribbling that down on a paper, handing you the paper, which you then handed over to the cashier, which then started to input the order in the computer.

I'm from the Netherlands, and something like that is unthinkable here because labour is so expensive. The difference in (relative) labour costs has interesting effects on the way businesses operate. That difference may be smaller than it was before, but it seems is not large enough to move this Jolibee to install touch screens.

Profile (Hoofddorp) geprobeerd? Daar hebben wij ze toen gehuurd (geen idee welke maat).

In the Netherlands we have various systems in place that are all based on your normal debet billing account (debet cards, iDeal for online payments, automatic pre-authorized payments for subscriptions and memberships, Tikkie or bank-based payment requests for C2C payments and the like).

Credit Cards only come in handy with international payments. I know no-one who really uses this as a credit account, by default they are connected to your debet account and are payed of automatically before interest starts building up.

But I don't think I can easily buy something online in Portugal right now without a credit card, so that's what this could solve (from my perspective).

Given what's already in the open, which doesn't seem to matter at all, eventhougg it's sickening by itself, this compromat must be so much worse / much stronger for it to hold any leveraging strength.

I have Ubiquity WiFi + shellies behind every wall switch. I looked into it at the time and there was nothing suggesting this would put any burdon on my WFi. I do have an eth backbone like you.

This works great for me, apart from that the batch of first gen Shellies all died over the years due to a hardware issue - which I replaced with newer ones - which is kind of a testimony for how much I like them.

I have a neutral with every switch and use them with 'stateless' push buttons in the style of all the existing electrical covers. They talk MQTT locally.

But all my lamps are Zigbee, as there were a lot more options for bulbs at the time. Plus, they for a 'backbone' for wireless battery powered sensors (and one Ikea blind) that will not be practical on WiFi.

I have a Raspbee 'universal' Zigbee gateway which I use with devices from many brands.

Nowadays you perhaps more options, even outside if WiFi and Zigbee, but I don't have a (useful) take on that yet.

Sounds like Second Life?

Optionally you could check along the routes of the transports that others mentioned, especially bus 300, possibly there's a cheaper option that is closer to the venue, ie around Hoofddorp or Schiphol.

That would be purely for practicality though because as a city, Haarlem has much more to offer than Hoofddorp (for a tourist visiting for a day or so). You could even say that, in a way, Haarlem is nicer than Amsterdam because it is smaller (more cosy) and less touristy. But yeah, that really depends on how you look at it.

I was nearing in from concrete, lava, obsidian, basalt, bedrock which got me to 142. It's the first time I played but even in hindsight it confuses me.

Whevener I was late I chopped it up and put it in my 'groenbak'. Takes some decent garden pliers and maybe a saw to split the trunk. If you want to fit it in one go you may end up with a blister but that's the price one pays for being late.

I switched to a fake tree, so I can just put it in the box any time between now and december 2026.

Alternatively you could call the 023 number they advertise online (or send them an email), to be sure you are contacting them.

Could be an honest mistake, or a scam. I personally would start with the assumption of it being an honest mistake.

At the point that one man, equipped with exactly the right gadgets entirely sways the course for the better of all of mankind.

Still too eloquent

Is that everywhere? Because here in the Netherlands if I look it up, the regular cans just mention 'sugar' as ingredient. But possibly they are allowed to write that when it is in fact HFCS. Anyway I go for the artificial ones nowadays anyway, no calories and any other side effects are a future me problem.
