If I was asked to engineer such a tracker, I would definitely buffer data inside to flush when connected to celluar network. Not always real time, but much more useful.

It is totally okay to train Copilot on GPL code, but the resulting generated code should also be released under GPL license, clearly being a derivative work. I don't even know why it is being discussed.

About two years ago I bought Lenovo M715 for my mom for about 300 USD. It included 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD, case, mouse and keyboard.l, not to mention support and warranty. Its' AMD 2200G CPU is 20% better in CPU Mark test.

Still a bit shocking that for newest NVMes the price difference can be an order of magnitude (not mentioning Optane, which is two orders more expensive). I understand that packing more data into same form factor is more expesive, but still.

I had an access to personal computers in my school after classes, most of the time we were gaming. After some time teacher said that games are not allowed anymore except ones we wrote ourselves. That's how my software engineer career s

At about 30 I found out about ability to rent a sail boat and have a fantastic week-long vacation with friends for a price of a decent 4* hotel. It was true in case someone has a recreational sailing license instead of hiring a skipper. The

Ride towards home is good for driver. Another ride in the opposite direction, which is set via data analysis and previous driver behavior - inherently evil.

Of course they are paid, what's your point?

Well, you need to automate your infra anyway, so just use anything that converts a bunch of yamls into API calls, even bash script.

Since Yandex virtually khows from collected data when the driver going to go home, it effectively gives driver extra ride in the wrong direction and then longer ride in the right direction, makes driver literally make extra miles.

While this looks fun, I still prefer to register a short domain (used free *.net.ru before war) and auto-populate DNS with Terraform/Ansible on a provision stage.

For me it's 3.14 first, then it's 3.1415, because 15 is 14+1, then I just memorize 92 and 6. Better than 355/113, which I don't think are that easy to memorize.

I am talking about concrete examples and consequent trend. Uber is fiddling with price hikes and "high demand areas" to make drivers work more. Yandex.Taxi in Russia gives drivers "let's go home" button to catch a r

You are right and this is bad news, because AI middle management is still inevitable. Currenlty, AI more or less manages taxi drivers in different places around the world, also telesupport personnel and other positions like those. Every tim

This is blatant lie. I can show you my SWIFT transactions out of Russia. There are restrictions on USD cash, so you have alternative rate for paper money, but you still can legally exchange RUB cash to USD cash.

What are you talking about? I have direct access to buying USD via my Turkish and Russian banks. Rates and comissions are quite reasonable. Of course there are risks right now, especially in Russia, but they are incomparable with risks of p

Hyperloop is a long range solution. Most of the commute today are within 20km. These are two completely different problems.

I have a feeling that we have something like Pareto principle in effect here. We spent 20% of effort to solve 80% of the problem. Now we have to spend 80% of effort to solve remaining 20% of the problem :( I am starting to believe in hybrid

Self driving tech could and will be applied to public transportation too. With self-driving mini-buses we can serve more destination much more efficiently, fine-tuning commute supply to better fit the exact demand.
