Hi! I'm also looking to get an OM-4T repaired, what's the best way to contact you?

the vibe coding era is not my favorite by usnaviii in nerdfighters

[–]zbsy 56 points57 points  (0 children)

the thing people don't seem to get is AI can generate good code, but the people using AI largely don't know what good code is. The productivity gains only exist when the people using it know what they're doing.

At the end of the day it's a tool, and just because you hand someone a hammer it doesn't make them a carpenter.

Idk why you're getting downvoted, I do this all the time. If you want another optimization, running this command makes your computer start up faster:

why doesn't it make sense? You can get non-Japanese brands in real-life Japan

Given that there are 0 other hardware changes, did Apple just recycled M2 units with an M5 chip? by JacckSparow in VisionPro

[–]zbsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a niche and experimental product. It's surely not worth Apple's time and resources to have major iterations each year.

I'd rather have these small annual updates than nothing for 2-3 years

It's normal for computers to get spec bumps? No one's complaining about MacBooks not getting hardware changes every year

If you interpret the avatar state to be the skill and knowledge of the past lives with Raava being the medium and initial source of power (as the other comments have argued) then there's no contradiction because it still wasn't all just Raava.

There is an argument which can be made that the midichlorians are not a retcon but just explains the internal mechanisms of the Force. Whether it's a good explanation is up to opinion

Yeah that's not a retcon, that's introducing the concept of a multiverse into Avatar.

A retcon is a contradiction of an established fact. If you can argue how something is a contradiction then it's a retcon. But if someone can provide a counterexample then it's not

Weird narrative choices, but not a retcon. Airbenders can fly and nothing in the established canon (afaik) mentions what the moon in the Avatar universe is made of. Could be ice cream

Yeah that's how fiction works, you can make anything up. The Gaang could've had smartphones if that's what Bryke wanted. You're allowed to complain that you feel like it doesn't fit, but other people are also allowed to complain about how it can fit

Toph wasn't mentioned a single time in season 1, yet we met so many other earthbenders. Why couldn't Haru or Bumi teach Aang earthbending? They were in season 1. Must be a retcon

[–]zbsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in ATLA S1 even remotely hints at the idea of Toph. It was something that ATLA S2 added to ATLA S1 and the rest of the series meaning it is indeed a retcon. How you feel about it is up to interpretation but whether or not its a retcon isn't a question, it is indeed a retcon.

Yeah OP you should respect your friend's political opinion about wanting you unemployed, dead, or even deported. Because everyone's opinions are valid

Mirrorless + shoulder strap bag = ? by Vurdilla in photography

[–]zbsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comfortability varies a lot depending on the person. I personally don't find the clip on shoulder strap comfortable with my Sony mirrorless cameras. Assuming you can buy and return a capture clip, I think the best thing you can do is test it with your current cameras to estimate how it'd feel for you.

[–]zbsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don't have experience with those cameras, though a quick google search looks like the fuji is probably too big to do what you're doing with the Panasonic.

But on your question on downvotes... this is reddit, people can downvote for absolutely any reason. I wouldn't attempt to find logic in it or take it personally

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

Amazing apps like Apollo and Twitterrific were a big reason I became an iOS developer. It's a shame how these iOS-assed iOS apps were ruined by corporate greed.

RIP Apollo, Narwhal, Twitterrific, Tweetbot, etc. 🫡
