I’d love to use Signal exclusively and recommend it or move over group chats wherever possible. But some friends and family keep me on WhatsApp and messenger. IMHO using those less is better than using them a lot and having more apps is better than socially isolating yourself.

Especially excited bout the medium screen sizes. I like my small eReader but sometimes need something larger for PDFs and to make highlighting and searching easier in non-fiction books. The giant tablet I am typing this on is nice for web and video, but it’s just too massive for reading and it appears tablets have the seem problem as smartphones with becoming ever bigger.

Never tried it after consciously skipping it on release due to lacking optimization for series X and not enough power on my desktop. And then life happened and I never found time. This sounds pretty good, glad to see they’re still improving it. I loved Witcher III even thought I was several years late, looks like this might be similar.

Prices for parts and the actual service being carried out are often more than half the price of a new device so even people that would want to repair end up not doing so. The Fairphone is seriously improving that equation!

I’m not personally coding with them, just often supporting people and their projects that do. Keras is also popular but I’ve at least personally seen slightly shoddier implementations with it. That could be selection bias though.

Maybe find some code to look at on the HuggingFace hub page? HuggingFace libraries or PyTorch are likely to give you really good learning opportunities and examples. Just keep an eye out for timestamps of articles or version numbers. And of course use venv/conda/.. to not mess up your version when trying out different things 😉

Maybe they can refer some of the crew to the MAGA events, you know, so they get cool lights 'n'Stuff?
