Modern US trucks are an absolute atrocity. I am the demographic that thinks they look cool and might one day have bought one should I end up with more money than I knew what to do with if I hadn't learned that they're death traps.

Sure you do, the architecture is known. An LLM will never be appropriate to use for exact input transforms and will never be able to guarantee accurate results - the input pipeline yields abstract ideas as text embedding vectors, not a stre

I could also decode it by hand, but doing so is stupid and will be unreliable. Same with an LLM - the network is not geared for precision.

I disagree, the answer you get is dictated by the question you ask. Ask stupid, get stupid. Present the problem better, get a better answer. These tools are trained to be highly compliant, so you get what you ask. Same happens with regular

If you're asking an LLM to compute something "off the top of its head", you're using it wrong. Ask it to write the code to perform the computation and it'll do better. Same with asking a person to solve something

No, not at all. Someone even implemented AirDrop in Python before[1]. In fact, nothing ever needs such special hardware. It's a decision of the implementer if they'd like to get fancy and rely on such hardware in their implementat

by arghwhat 11mo ago
That hardware is completely unrelated to such a simple feature. Something like AirDrop will only use fairly trivial crypto, which most likely ciphers with full acceleration available but even without it would work fine with plenty of perfor

Well, everything attenuates everything, and you want signals from your neighbors attenuated to the point of non-existence to avoid having your devices back off. That's quite a bit more than a few sheets of regular drywall.

While indeed you shouldn't fix noise by shouting louder, your justification isn't quite right. 1. It's the AP that has to decide to change channel, and if you live somewhere with channel contention, from its perspective all c

This happens more often with paid things, as these have a direct financial incentive to elliminate competition and grow adoption. Free stuff does not.

No they're just incentivizing not caring. "Responsibility" is a word mostly thrown about by people making demands as if they are somehow entitled to full service contracts on stuff they got for free - which is especially fun
