Depends on the phone, I have trouble fitting models into memory on my iPhone 13 before iOS kills the app. I imagine newer phones with more RAM don’t have this issue especially with some new flagship phones having 16+ GB of memory

I’ve always heard this term in use from a defense contractor

Maybe you could also have ChatGPT book a hotel for you too at that point

Yeah one example is you can’t run Altium on macOS. You can run eagle which is similar but not the same thing as altium and has no compatibility with it.

By accepting the grant they are giving themselves a legal responsibility to “not do DEI” where the government arbitrarily decides what DEI is. Even something like employing a trans software engineer or talking about the impact Python is having in POC communities could be considered reason to go after PSF legally or rescind the grant. It’s just not worth the risk for the reward.

It's not the worst but the original Pebble Time Steel looks better IMO. I understand why they used a simpler case design (They don't have the resources to make anything like the PTS) but I still like the PTS design more. Maybe someone will come out with a custom case or something idk

I mean night workers also don’t get to do other traditional evening events like go to a concert or bar so this doesn’t bother me. Night workers in nearby time zones would be able to use it either before or after their shift depending on their location

Sure but Nextdoor is still a huge business trying to reach the widest possible audience of local areas. Something limited by if you’re awake when it’s up is different IMO

I kind of like the idea of a regional social media app which literally doesn’t work in other parts of the world. It makes the space a little more special than something trying to reach everyone IMO

Trump has a long history of falling out with his political allies. Will the trump musk alliance last 4 years? Who knows.

Considering SSD prices have crashed it’s the only way to go IMO, it solves literally all of the problems with other iptions like power draw for hard drives and longevity and speed over flash drives

There’s other big changes like the current model 3 has a heat pump and the 2018 one doesn’t

Not like that but an ICE car from 2018 and 2023 are basically the same while a 2023 EV is massively more efficient than a 2018 one.

The biggest one I can think of is really stupid actually which is a NACS port and proper supercharger network access for any non Tesla (and I personally would recommend against buying a Tesla for build quality and lack of repairability). Either way ICE cars are basically about as good as they can get while EV’s have a ton of room for improvement

Accessible taxis already exist and are probably better for elderly people since they have a drive to help you get in and out of the taxi

I actually think robotaxis will never really catch on widely in the US outside of big cities or maybe very poor people with no other option or misc use cases like if you own a car and drop it off at the dealership or if you’re out with friends and want to go home early. Most of the US is designed for you to own a car and drive it everywhere, just because cars can drive themselves now isn’t going to make self driving taxis more convenient than driving yourself without changes to how cities are already set up. Eg if you use a taxi you have to drag all your stuff with you and it’s less convenient if you live in a place where parking is effectively guaranteed. I think it will displace the existing app based taxi market and regular taxis by offering lower prices but greed will prevent companies from pricing them low enough for them to truly get people to stop driving personal vehicles. They’re really going to do well in parts of the world where taxis are already very popular because parking is limited or expensive like Singapore, Japan, China, and Europe.

I mean Waymo already has competitors, Uber, Lyft, and regular taxis. Right now Uber and Lyft are typically strategically priced to be slightly cheaper than taxis are but I think Uber has enough margin to cut costs to compete with Waymo as they enter more markets, and Waymo needs to get people on board to make robotaxis a real thing people use and to offset their dev costs.

As long as your old cars are like Toyota corolla/camry’s and not like giant gas guzzling SUV’s or trucks keeping them on the road is better than buying a new EV IMO. I think the current EV gen is kind of doomed because of the fact the next EV gen is going to have massive QOL features the current one doesn’t and waiting for a more compelling car is worth doing IMO

Obvious answer is to run something on top of UDP like QUIC does

Also worth noting that all of the Toyota trucks are way less reliable than their other cars because truck fans are pretty adamant about having the best technology and being able to do everything possible ever in their truck so they update the drivetrain more consistently and there’s more failures and issues. Other Toyotas are more reliable on average

I drove a first generation hybrid 2006 Lexus RX 400h for many years until 2024 and I’ve never had any issues with the hybrid system. There were a few other issues with the car and the battery has obviously degraded over time but everyone saying hybrids are less reliable are ignoring a lot of basic facts such as the fact that hybrids don’t have as prone to failure transmissions, don’t have an alternator, can use less powerful engines without turbos, etc. I would argue hybrids are a better choice than gas powered cars in 2024 considering how complicated gas powered cars need to be to meet modern emissions standards.

Any company that does US defense work has to use govcloud

Sure you can but that’s not necessarily what people with large lawns are going for. Also a lot of the areas like that are completely unsuitable for growing food

The launch startup space has completely fallen apart over the last 5 years. SpaceX and rocket lab will make it, I’m not so sure about everyone else.

You’re not going to grow enough food on your average American lawn to survive off of either lol

I think it’s interesting that there are signs etc. entirely in English in Japan though

Honestly I think a big issue is that it’s not just legacy code, it’s also legacy code which depends on old dependency versions. Eg there’s an internal app where I work stuck on 3.8.X because it uses deprecated pandas syntax and is too complicated to rewrite for a newer version easily.

The people in cities vote blue, and people in rural areas vote red. I doubt you’re meeting the latter on trips

Grover Cleveland would like a word (also I think that Biden will be harder on Putin than Trump but idk)

Weight reduction would be a serious benefit if this actually works
