Suppose I'm driving at 20 kph, and I set my cruise control to 40 kph. My car then goes WOT, overshoots my target speed and hits 120 kph, at which point it slams on the brakes[0], dropping my speed to 15 kph. It repeats until it finally

In case this anecdote is not made up, I would implore you or your friend be a bit more subtle at tokenmaxing (ugh). At $JOB, I'm under the same mandate, and it turns out that every prompt is logged and aggregated. When someone else a

Not as absurd as back when AOL bought them, but just barely so. I think I'll have an extra frothy latte for breakfast today.

I sympathize, but the reality is that except for very specialized cases, (hyper) optimizing for CPU performance is unnecessary, even in the embedded space. A Cortex-M0 has roughly the same performance as a 486, and is cheap and power effici

I won't be contributing much to rational discussion, but this "feature" annoys me so much that I just have to rant for a bit. ---- Like, is nobody in Google multi-lingual? Who the fuck thought this -- not auto-translation,

I've just installed this extension, and confirmed that -- at least for now -- it works. The translated titles will be flashed first, then replaced by the original titles.

I don't think so, because there are too many things, but not enough time in life to find out your true preferences for them all, so we all are (to varying degree of) indifferent to most things, and focus on only a few things we truly c

Yes, the system is not closed and certainly people may simply not contribute to Debian at all. However, my main point is that reasonable people disagree on the relative importance of RR among other things, so it's not about "want[

Just like the blog author, I updated two Macs, and one got the setup wizard and thus AI got re-enabled, while the other did not. Maybe it's a bug, or maybe it's A/B testing... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While we're at it, perhaps we should also presume little-endian byte order. As much as I prefer big-endian, little-endian had won . As consolation, big-endian will likely live on forever as the network byte order.

Slightly OT but I much prefer the 9211+: the vent[*] makes a difference in comfort when worn over long periods. Or the 9105 / 9105S which sticks out further away from the face, and its elastic design makes it a bit quicker to don &#x2F

I think the difference is that as an individual driver you have an incentive to keep your car clean, so that Lyft continues to dispatch riders to you. For Waymo the selective pressure is less direct and also spread across their entire fleet

I recall there was some issues with certain Visa cards. Ah right I did have issue where I couldn't load with my Chase Sapphire Reserve card. But I just switched to the Apple Card and it went smoothly. So yes there may be some hurdles.

You don't need a JDM model iPhone, as long as it's new enough (after 12?) The virtual Suica card works seamlessly on my US-model iPhone 12 mini.
