I never understood what the walk to car wash thing was supposed to prove. Was it supposed to be something to blow normies' minds with on social media? Woah dude, so like, chat gpt is not actually smart? That's crazy dude.

That experiment "proved" that LLMs are statistical text generators without a concept of meanings of words. Which is the same thing as "proving" that there aren't a million tiny humans inside your laptop doing the CPU's work by hand.

Running Lineage, it's faster and more responsive, even today, than a $1000 iPhone from 2024

As someone who has both I strongly disagree with that claim, though the 3 and 3T have certainly aged well.

A sedan shaped two door coupe is even better. The B pillars are behind you so you get better visibility.

Perhaps the biggest difference I see from millenials and gen z is that the degree in which they realize the difference between having earned the right to expressing your opinion and expressing your opinion.

This reads like the classic case of "I had it bad therefore everybody else should too"

They do need to be long but in a different way. ICE cars had longer hood/trunk overhangs, EVs have skateboard batteries with high belt lines (because the floor is thick) and very short front and rear overhangs with longer wheelbases.

I think it's the same thing as showing mechanical sympathy towards other tools and objects. I've always slightly judged people on how hard they shut doors or how gentle they are with their cars.

Surely the thermal paste will degrade at some point, right?

An LLM is a computer program, which isn't a human. You wouldn't excuse a calculator being occasionally wrong because humans sometimes get manual calculations wrong too.

I'm from Europe and I use it 99% of the time. I find the UI in satnav mode much better (cleaner and readable) than the one Google Maps has. The only time I use Google Maps is when I really want to find something that's not in Apple Maps or when I want to read reviews without fumbling with the web browser.

Not the person you're replying to but each have their time and place. When I have a lo fi playlist on I don't expect to feel exhilarated, connected to the crowd and the musicians.

Assuming the kids would be facing forward, wouldn't that require a helmet and a HANS device as well?

Lint was only ever an issue with my Lightning connector iPhone. Unfortunately it wasn't the issue with the USB-C phones, the ports were just worn out.

They were an LG Nexus 5X, a OnePlus 3T and a Xiaomi Mi 8. The ports became loose on all of them over time, especially on the OnePlus where the cable would just fall out if you held the device upright, and in its final days the Xiaomi would need the cable pushed at an angle to make a connection.

I treat my phones carefully, I've literally never cracked a screen on any of them, the same goes for handling the charging cable and port. I'm always quite gentle with it, never leaving it propped up by the cable or at a weird angle, and the cables I used were the original ones that came with my devices. Mainly because my phones spend a lot of time plugged in acting as a hotspot for half a week, so I try to minimize the harm I cause by the extra (un)plug events.

The Lightning port iPhone that I used for 3 years however handled my usage just fine (just tried it now and it feels just like it did new), and the USB-C one I've had for half a year seems to be holding up fine as well. These I used with a mix of cheap Aliexpress cables and the genuine Apple ones.

I've never seen the male part of the female USB-C break, but I'm sure it's possible

I know anecdotes don't mean anything, but I have. Every USB-C phone I've ever had, apart from my iPhone that I currently use, ended up with having completely worn out connectors after two-three years of use. They stop holding cables in firm enough and start only making the connection when holding the cable at an angle.

What obsession about making thin phones? iPhones are pretty thick and have been that way for years. The Air being an outlier, of course, but it's an intentionally thin phone in a lineup of thick and heavy ones.

Which slavic languages have that? In mine I can't think of a single word for that other than kipuća voda which literally means boiling water.

Have you ever used Windows 8.1? With a classic start button app the UI layout is the good Windows 7 one with the "modern" Windows appearance.

As a non-native English speaker, pronouncing it scan-xiety (sken-ZAHyetee) feels correct.

The physical keyboard on your computer is also always in capital letters. Is that bad design too?

As a European, I never understood why you'd tip automatically. I get that waiters are allowed to be paid less, but I don't see why that would be the customer's problem.

I'm not trying to make excuses for Grok, but how exactly isn't the user creating the content? Grok doesn't have create images on its own volition, the user is still required to give it some input, therefore "creating" the content.

It's not that bad actually. Over the years stuff like electrical installations, cables and random manholes often get retrofitted in an ugly way to existing architecture.

It's not US only, I didn't get stickers with my EU market iPhone Air.

It's a warrant canary, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary

I used to think like that before I started driving, it's way more structured and harder to screw up than you'd think.

Avoiding potholes is the hardest part of driving, really.

Will the newest system be able to easily run that compiled binary?

I feel like releasing it as a win32 app covers you best there

So what is the correct solution to that specific problem then, adjust loading time per customer?

Nobody is gonna download a 300TB torrent just to get the latest Taylor Swift album

Well, no. They'll just select the album download it selectively from the torrent.
