Oh I wish that was possible. Fact is if the customer wants to put their worksite management on AWS, you inevitably expose the OPC server and/or PLC to a Intranet. This is then inevitably connected to the internet in some way. The custo

No. That restriction has been gone for a few years now. I can run rimworld and quasimorph via steam at the same time, as an example.

He singlehandedly annihilated the US soybean market. That's not a good thing. Lots of farmers going bankrupt now.

Paper trail stuff. But more importantly, when the first set of executive orders reducing tariffs rates went out, it conveniently mentioned Japanese investments but did not include tariff reductions for Japanese goods. So the Japanese govern

They definitely can. For my first 3 months it was obligatory to show up to the office. The office was basically a apartment room, and very small. But it got the job done.

I am guilty of this one. I was 30 minutes from a presentation, and couldn't figure out why my code couldn't get the key from the hosting service. So I just hard coded the key. The key was rotated after the presentation. Does not l

Just the short demo videos on their website. Their example of the music app. You have a translucent bar showing the currently playing music app. It gets harder to read when it overlaps with the background music album covers. I can very easi

Oh, so it's one of the two boosters they caught with the chopsticks? Dang, that's actually quite insane. Shame that block2/block3 starship is such a mess.

Yea, the super heavy booster was flying a refurbished engine from a previous super heavy flight. Explosion was probably expected.

No car advertising lane keeping or emergency breaking, would punch through that wall. Regardless of whether it's a simple poster, or a Styrofoam wall. Because emergency breaking should just work, regardless of mode.

by Prickle 2y ago
That should also be entirely irrelevant. It's emergency breaking. There shouldn't be differing results on whether you paid an extra $8000 usd or not. FSD does not advertise better emergency breaking as a feature. (Last I checked a

He's testing emergency breaking. It's not some pay-to-receive service surely? It should be always on, regardless of Autopilot or FSD. It has come as a default feature with many new vehicles in the modern age. Are you trying to say

I can confirm this from my own, anecdotal experience. My current brother printer no longer recognizes refilled ink cartridges and some third party cartridges.

My understanding is that negative press of apple gets you blacklisted from media events and early review devices. The advertising deals with apple are not that lucrative, iirc. So bad reviews are avoided to ensure the media gets the early r

In the case of Japan, it's likely an issue with Japanese regulations. We have a very strict radio law that applies to anything that can produce radio or em waves That includes motherboards, since they can technically emit on those freq

Yup, this is a constant trouble maker for us. Customer exports a csv file, then verifies the contents in excel. They never realize that excel modified some of the data, and pass it on to us. Just, constantly! (I use notepad++ for CSV files

That's interesting. Japanese discussions I have had, and articles in Japanese seem to say the opposite. That Japan needs to invest more; because many talented Japanese researchers are emigrating to the USA or China. The main topic that

The main issue I am having here, is that I can see a measurable drop in my ability to write code because of LLM usage. I need to avoid LLM use to ensure my coding ability stays up to par.

The main thing with physical buttons, is that you don't need to look at them. You can feel for the control without taking your eyes off the road. Can't do that with a Tesla. The touch screen doesn't give you any tactile signa

The reason is pretty simple. The technology you are using right now, was created with knowledge that was obtained in orbit. If you use GPS, you are inherently reliant on satellites, delivered with rockets. Some of our resource shortages can

Except, you can't sync the iphone's passkey with non apple products. And it's still tied to your apple ID, which uses a password. This in theory, defeats part of the point. (It's definitely better than the alternative th

Right, but unlike a passkey, my password doesn't discriminate based on the device I use. If my phone explodes like a Samsung surprise, and my laptop turns into a spicy pillow; I can in the worst case scenario, still log in via the loca

It absolutely is a Valid question. At the end of the day, the problem with passkeys Is that they are explicitly negatives for common people. Have a broken phone camera? Cannot scan qr codes. Lost the phone? Cannot log into vital modern day
