Yeah it only seems to show small station near me, and not the main city stations, not sure why but it's very incomplete, and not related to age. For example Sheffield station isn't on the map, and that opened in 1870.

That's like saying that low effort human-generated posts are worth your time because the phones and computers they're writing on take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch.

I noted that in the linked Top Gear review, they state "Ferrari won’t confirm the drag co-efficient", which makes me wonder about that claim

The red phone box is a type of phone kiosk. The design of the phone box is designated as K1-K6, where the K stands for kiosk. I believe the term comes from the time before phone boxes were ubiquitous, and public phones were found in small b

But the US does jail people for posting objectionable content, the FBI surveil people posting extreme and objectionable stuff on social platforms and it's led to jail time in at least some cases, one that comes to mind is Lucas Nevcher

Happens a lot in meditation/spiritual videos on YouTube, spam promoting some AI-generated "manifest riches with the power of your mind" type book.

My bad, it appears you're right, an Irish national based in London.

The developer is also British; it's a pun because you roll sausages in the game.

I think the use of the word "ends" rather than "end" makes it sound like you're making 2 snips on each balloon.

Definitely post-COVID. I remember going to see bands in between or just after lockdowns ended, and even the bands were taken aback by the change in audience behaviour, commenting on it. Lots of self-entitled behaviour, talking and even yell

The drones Iran are using are actually relatively small, you can fit 5 of them into a medium sized truck and they can launch in-situ, which is how they've been using them in ground operations. Doesn't seem that much of a stretch t

It's a common abbreviation for significant other, i.e. one's husband/wife or partner, but never seen it abbreviate "someone" before.

Yeah, mid-late last year was one of the worst markets I've seen in my career, but the last couple of months things have really seemed to pick up speed.

Etymologically speaking, "scapegoat" does mean "escaped goat" so it's not a crazy mistake to make.

Yeah that's a good salary in Europe. It's only slightly less than I make in the UK as a senior.

The point is that you don't need an LLM to pilot the thing, even if you want to integrate an LLM interface to take a request in natural language.

Yes, but it's published there under a restrictive license which doesn't allow sharing of derivative works.

To be fair, it didn't originally support it, a firmware update came out some time after release that enabled BTLE connection.

It's the only controller I use (bar the Steam Deck's built in controller) despite owning plenty of other conventional controllers. Once you get used to it and make use of Steam Input's per-game customisation and mapping it wo

The page shows, near the bottom, how the main output is gaussian splats, but it can also generate triangular meshes (visual mesh + collider). However, to my eye, the triangular meshes shown look pretty low quality compared to the splat: com

WhoBird is much better for this, as it's realtime and processed on-device. It stores a log of each bird identified along with the percentage match, and can optionally store a clip of the audio that triggered the match.

It's easy to slap an LLM in there to make contextual conversation with the player, but how do you go from what the LLM says to actual gameplay mechanics? The LLM can come up with basically anything to negotiate a deal with you, but the
