Seems there's a #bug in #OpenVibe

The Advanced settings is not remembered. I always have to redo it every app launch. It's the only section affected, others are fine.



My good friend Sam made me this wonderful card for Halloween. The photo on the left is how it looks in person. The photo on the right is how it looks through the phone at a certain angle.

Any guesses as to why? #art

The cellophane envelope is thin enough to be a multiple of the wavelength of light. If you get the angle right, one particular set of wavelengths (colors) will cancel out and disappear, like magic. I could draw you the geometry in a diagram but it would probably take longer than drawing your card.

I wonder how much of that is attributable to actual ML projects, and how much is slop generated by models with a bias towards Python output
in reply to John Morahan

@jmorahan I don't have any stats, but I'd wager you're probably spot on. I kind of alluded to that in the post by mentioning that Copilot integration with Github. Imagine quite a few hello world/demo projects being spat out that default to Python, and i'd wager - i haven't used copilot on Github - that it offers to create a new repo for the project too...

To celebrate our partnership with Apostrophy, we’re giving away ten (yes, 10!) Punkt MC02 privacy smartphones: threema.ch/bp/apostrophy
in reply to Threema

@Threema Falls ich ein MC02 gewinnen sollte, müsste ich mich vermutlich völlig neu einarbeiten. Schon immer benutze ich Android. Und im Gewinnfall müsste ich mich auf ein Google freies Smartphone umstellen, und da ich nicht technikaffin bin, dürfte das für mich eine sehr große Herausforderung werden.

Oder habe ich da etwas missverstanden?
