I can do all of this stuff with my Jellyfin server for the yearly cost of a domain name

It does work with Kodi, you just need to add a client-side plugin for Kodi to support it: https://github.com/SgtJalau/service.jellyskip

And you can stream to your phone. And I set my elderly aunt up to be able to stream it from her Apple TV ~80 miles away from me. And there are phone apps that let you download stuff in advance to watch on a plane. And I've been able to cast Jellyfin from my phone to the TV in a hotel before

Analog is certainly better, so long as you're OK with some noise.

I think it's well worth noting that while streaming does imply a full download, it doesn't actually render the full sized download on the client device at any one time, it's simply cached and then the oldest parts are evicted when the cache fills up.

You mean to tell me that anyone can own a nail-gun? We can't have people buying their own nail-guns, next thing you know they might build things that aren't up to code!

pretty sure they were being sarcastic

My hero. Thanks

The lights in my small Pennsylvania town just got cameras and do seem to be using ML to recognize traffic build-up and optimize dynamically for traffic flow. Pretty cool stuff.

I think the real reason they were installed was because of a new state law that goes into effect this July where you'll be fined if you're spotted holding a smartphone by a traffic cam. Still, the faster light changes are quite welcome.

Most people listen to music in their car. More compressed audio means less fiddling with the volume knob as you drive, regardless of normalization done by Spotify et al.

Anyhow that's my theory

Yeah, they unironically just attacked a strawman and sat of their laurels

Carbon monoxide... in an EV?

Re:choice of display, I'm betting it's for power saving. If you need a better display you can use the HDMI port or DisplayPort USB-C port and just hook it right up to a monitor/TV

It can be a useful tool and an economic bubble at the same time. The dot com bubble was due at least in part to the overbuilding of fiber infrastructure in the US.

Sounds like it's a fairer system that would be harder to corrupt. You're right, it'll never be implemented because we're totally infested by regulatory capture.

A gargantuan "everything company" like Amazon is the very definition of a monopoly. In any functional society this beast would have long since been broken up before becoming dominant in multiple industries. At this point, they're pretty much emblematic of the rot at the core of western society.

For real. My dad got his MBA and proceeded to lose his job within 4 months and never got another one in the tech field again thereafter. Everyone said they couldn't afford him. He went on to do SAT test prep, blackjack dealing, and nowadays teaches bridge on cruise ships as his retirement job.

Agreed. "complexity is" as a full sentence followed by "not what you believe it is" has a fundamentally different meaning.

Very cool

Looks like the link got fixed.

I'm really enjoying reddit just completely roasting the entire concept in the comments.

My P1S has a camera built into it. If the print begins to fail, I can stop the printer and turn off the heat immediately before anything spirals. Very easy and convenient to remote control from my phone.

Not to mention it's about as easy to use without a license as WinRAR, so you can trial it indefinitely and then pay the mere $60 for it when you're ready to release some music commercially

But if you read their actual financial reports they have never indicated in any way that their hardware is a loss leader.

Right, I'm just saying they could afford it if it came down to that. They also have enormous margins on their higher-end systems, so they've got plenty of room to lose some profitability before it comes down to that.

This seems like it could become a fairly big deal

Because Apple has the capital to take a loss on hardware indefinitely due to the App Store being their primary source of revenue?

Per user

Ollama merged a PR for MTP about 2 hours ago, as well:

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/15980

Edit: Seems they also have a pre-release version out with the functionality added: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/tag/v0.23.1-rc0

It's kind of a six-of-one half-a-dozen-of-the-other situation IMO. Modern society does tend to have extreme social bubbles, but those are also a product of market forces, which in turn were influenced by previous states of society, etc etc back to the beginning of time.

On the other hand, ancient societies had more in-person community and common free third-spaces for people to congregate, socialize, and otherwise involve themselves with their communities

A lot of people use Leaf batteries/powertrains for this type of conversion. Probably would be cheaper than using Tesla parts if you don't need as much range.
