Maybe I’m missing something. I can’t imagine that paying a chauffeur can be cheaper than umbrella insurance.

Several years ago, Paramount was handing out free monthly trial codes for Paramount Plus every month. Then, some time in 2020, they just ”forgot” to cut off my access after the trial ended. I had free Paramount Plus from then until 2025, wh

I really enjoy this engine. I’ve used it for personal projects, but it hasn’t been updated since Gemma 2. I suggest using Transformers.js instead these days.

This is great. Having the option to choose whether or not to see AI content was the first thing I hoped they'd add a filter for when it was first introduced. Just for kicks, I inverted the filter in a TamperMoneky script that only ke

In the same vein, last year I took on a good old fashioned optimization problem for Worlde. Given a guess list and answer list, find all of the “perfectly bad” Worlde games in the shortest time. This means never reusing letters or finding a

I did the same thing with my netbook 4 years ago, but I went with Debian instead to make my life a bit easier. It was, at the time, one of a small number of distros that still officially supported x86 32-bit binaries. The challenges came fr

Google Illuminate does this. I believe it was actually a precursor to Gemini Notebook. It uses a similar podcast generating model but tuned to keep things more technical and detailed. https://illuminate.google.com/

Cloudflare offers this for free as well.

And that was only half the planned game until you bought Sonic & Knuckles with Lock-On Technology.

There are lightweight YouTube embeds like https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed . It’s lauded for faster page loads, but it likely has good privacy implications too since it basically just loads a thumbnail u

At least for now, YouTube honors the uploader’s label of whether or not the content was AI generated. Only when it’s left unset do they do any automatic labeling. And those labels can be overridden manually by the uploader if they get it wr

It looks like copying from EFB to XFB can do an RBG to YUV conversion automatically.

I know those offer virtual GPUs, but I am unfamiliar with any paravirtual GPU offerings from VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual GPUs are much more limited in performance and graphics API support.

I assume your concern with GPU passthrough is that each VM needs a whole GPU? You can use GPU-PV to split your GPU between VM instances. Then the main bottleneck becomes how thin you split out your VRAM. More info here: https://w

It sounds to me like a product of the ‘90s. CRTs were still common, and they support essentially arbitrary fixed refresh rates. It wouldn’t have been a big deal at the time. It’s like how the original Doom runs at a native 35fps when you do

Last I’d checked, “﷽”is the widest Unicode character.

If you have evidence to the contrary, it would make for a great lawsuit. Apple is very explicit that they cannot read it. This data is end-to-end encrypted, much like the data collected by the Health app. They never have the keys to it. In

Not sure where ads for pizza places are coming from, but the suggested maps trips are part of the “Significant Locations” feature. That data is end-to-end encrypted across your devices and is unreadable by Apple. It can be disabled if you d

>Car prices have increased well above the rate of inflation over the last decade This is a fair concern, but also, looking at the rise of average car prices is like looking at the rise of average iPhone prices. That is to say, cars (and

The link you shared details hacker groups exploiting consumer hardware. This is very different than selling compromised, backdoored hardware.

It’s still there; it’s just nowhere near as popular. The Classic theme is what you’re looking for.

Very interesting to see the workers in yellow presumably cleaning and manually plugging in the cars to charge.

A few things that stood out to me: - One of the key factors in powder over pods in his prior videos was cost. Cheap powder runs about 6.6¢/oz. The brand he’s promoting is $1.11/oz, nearly 17x more expensive than traditional powder

That’s pretty wild, since the energy needed to get it up to temp would still need to be expended on the water heater side. There are no real energy efficiency gains unless they can somehow engineer an effective cold water cleaning.

Space and weight are serious constraints in the car space, but not such a big deal on the side of a house. That’s how they retain their usefulness. 80% could indeed be plenty of usable life for your EV use cases, but it strongly depends o
