@jon in the Netherlands the bike racks tend to be buried under a layer of bricks so that the streets can easily be reconfigured or repaired. not as secure as concrete, although probably good enough (hashtag threat model)
I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.
My search engine skills are failing me tonight. Does anybody know of a tool that will convert an HTML document into markdown? Linux obviously and CLI would be nice. I want to use it for a script.
@mike it sounds like your source HTML contains the scripts to pull the content in, rather than the content itself.
Open the page in Firefox/Chrome, hit F12 to open the devtools window, and then the inspector tab. You should be able to right-click the HTML tag there and copy it, then just paste to a new file.
This'll give you the DOM rather than the original HTML, so it'll have the loaded content in there for parsing.

Good news for those of us with Irritable Bowel Disease. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long or beg our doctors to prescribe it when available
@dgar In my work I've integrated ChatGPT to translate English statements into SQL to query the database, and it works really well. We never send any data to OpenAI: that would give it the chance to hallucinate incorrect answers and get the maths wrong. Instead we only send the database schema, it translates the question into a query, then we run the query locally.
And it's good. Useful. Much easier to use than teaching box office managers to write SQL.
@bencurthoys
I agree that AI has legitimate uses across a number of fields. From finding pictures that contain dogs in your photos app, to analysing the massive amounts of data from our space telescopes, to protein folding, to material science, to explaining what a piece of code does…. it’s a thing we can make computers do now, another tool in the toolbox.
Just throwing it out there now, preemptively: any suspect flags you see hanging from my house, any insurrections that I may or may not have taken part in, any World War II or civil war memorabilia that you may find prominently displayed in my house...
My wife did it! Blame her! That woman doesn't know how to act!
Maybe I try to look for the sunny side of the street too often, but this is just funny to me. Many of the January 6th Insurrectionists now have felony records, and can no longer own a firearm. THEY TOOK AWAY THEIR OWN GUNS! LOL
@ang6666@RickiTarr Right. It doesn't. And in red-states, small towns, for Jan 6 convictions, they'll look the other way. Selective enforcement is real once you get out of the big cities.
@dangillmor I can't say I'm happy about the word choices. True. Fox Trash Propaganda not only lies daily, it also distorts perception by disproportionate coverage of true stories of violence whenever a minority is involved and ignoring or downplaying violence by perceived privileged groups and as such pitting people against people in effort to establish minority rule by the owner class and locking in the working class in their "proper place" as the subservient wage slaves to the owner class.
@dangillmor It's a good thing at least one media company Fox with a very large audience assails that confused and corrupted judge Merchano.His court is nothing more than a side-show.
#ClimateDiary my heart goes out to everyone in Delhi, especially the workers and street vendors, children and elderly, the many without AC. Water scarcity and rationing; overflowing morgues in Rajasthan.
Je vie également la vieillesse prématurée, mon corps ne pourra plus faire quoi que ce soit auquel j'aspire et je fais semblant de faire des petits projets pour m'occuper, sans passions, sans jamais jouir de la vie.
Perso je suis pour très largement élargir l'accès au suicide assisté et ne pas le réserver aux seuls gens dans une souffrance physique extrême.
Removing pops from a vinyl record rip is tedious as hell. I was trying to come up with a better (or automated) way to identify where pops are without listening to the entire thing in real time, and I thought of using a derivative of the signal (the idea being that pops should show as abrupt changes).
But then I just stumbled upon a simple solution: looking at the spectrogram!
Pops show as ghostly bars in the background of the signal.
@wklj I think what really did cassettes a big disfavor is that, unlike records, the pre-recorded ones were spec'd to the least common denominator: ferric tapes with Dolby-B NR. And those sound dreadful. But if you get a decent chrome tape and use Dolby-C/S, they sound fantastic, even today.
I had to stop because I started going over the whole rip a second time, and I'm pretty sure at this point I'm fixing issues in the original studio master 😅

J'avais dans le temps un de ces bandeaux offert par les compagnies d'aviation mais je ne sais pas ce que j'en ai foutu… C'est vrai que c'est très bien.
tfw when you’re doing remote tech support for a non-tech-savvy relative and you have to walk them through how screen sharing works, then later, the zoom session runs out of free minutes, so you switch to google meet, which doesn’t let you control their screen, so you have to walk them through extremely tedious steps, and they keep clicking the wrong thing because everything is named the same thing, and then you take your airpods out for a break but that breaks your system audio so you have to re
@ai6yr@chefraven
we were prepping for a drill that involved a car crash and we wanted to use some babies. I wasn't strong enough to do it but one of the firefighters at the station cut her in half with trauma shears
@MsMerope Runners... so smart at least on the part of the organizers, just in case the clouds burn off. Although, won't have people collapsing of heat illness in our neck of the woods.
