> so controlling they are the only US company blacklisted by the US government Their control here was refusing to make fully automated killing machines. They simply required someone to have to press the button.

I had this same control panel in Australia. The actual AC unit was part of the strata common property and I think somehow shared between multiple units on the floor.

My ideal system would be something that does matter over thread with zero external internet access. Matter over thread devices are all standardized so no proprietary app required, and the newer iphones have a thread radio built in so you ca

That's real work and requires real skill. The parent comment example prompt just doesn't work.

I wish Streetcomplete had an ios app. The ios editors are all far too cluttered and hard to use on mobile. I've almost been considering making my own editor like streetcomplete but as a web app so it's cross platform.

I highly suspect Apple and Google maps are auto tracing satellite images. Apple maps has perfect coverage of every road marking on their maps that exactly lines up to the satellite images. I believe most consumers of OSM just discard data l

I’d you have a 5G phone and plan but see 4G, that usually means you are at the very edge of coverage. Thats not the experience 4G was or still is if you are in a well covered area (which would have 5G available as well)

My experience is most restaurant websites are either outdated, offline, or hacked and showing some malware page. While the social media page is up to date. While all of then problems you list are real, small restaurant owners don’t have the

UX is one of the things AI isn’t good at. You can ask it for specific changes but just “make it nicer” is unlikely to work.

You don’t even need a cdn. The cheapest vps can handle HN load serving static pages. The problem tends to come when it’s some inefficient dynamic page triggering db calls to load a blog post.

Blocking datacenter builds is the right thing to do right now. Whether the general public has the right vocabulary to explain why is not so important when the people in charge are actively evil and tasked with the exact opposite of their cl

It's not a boomer thing other than the old people in power happen to be boomers right now. But it is related to them being at the end of their lifespan. The greed is so incredibly short sighted because they only have a few years left t

It makes sense if you are a boomer wanting to extract everything possible for yourself with zero regard for even 10 years in the future where you will most likely be dead.

What even is the economy after they have killed all the workers and it's just bots clicking on each others ads?

They don’t want to sell these tools to developers. They want to cut as many layers as possible.

I've observed the same thing where the new models want to run obscene bash commands or python scripts which are completely unreadable and utilise every option flag that exists. It's impossible to review. These commands are less re

Unless you lived thousands of years ago, there was a supply chain. For bread there was a farmer, a miller, and a baker. That's a supply chain. And they were even more profit hungry back then, adulterating the flour with fillers to save

I've been trying to minimise the number of apps I have. Every app needs to be justified in that I actually need it, and there is simply no way it could have been provided as a website.

Old digital cameras just used non standard usb shapes so they are almost impossible to find now.

Apples budget stuff is weirdly good right now. Other brands would have released the neo as a plastic frame bit of ewaste loaded with adware.

They all have the squishy silicone part that goes in your ear. The claim on the apple page is it's for the ones that don't have that. Which is true. It's not a particularly crazy innovation but the statement is true.

Why would you need a license to sit in an autonomous vehicle?

Surely this problem is mostly solvable with ALPRs now. Every plate is attached to an owner and the insurance status can be checked. There's the situation where an uninsured driver is using someone elses car, but that's at least mo

There's a large percent of people who have their daily commute possible by public transport, but the weekend or odd trips are not well covered. A cheaper uber powered by self driving would cover the odd trips and save people the massiv

Retro game emulation isn't mainstream but "exceptionally niche" is overstating it.

That could be a result of a failed exposure stack. Phone sensors and lenses suck for light gathering so they have to take multiple photos and merge them together to create one that's less noisy. Occasionally you get artifacts where the

No I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that if the proposal was to spend less on self driving and more on public transport, we should be looking at the running costs of PT. Rather than comparing Waymo to digging tunnels or lay
