I know a guy who worked at the local Saturn dealership here in Phx in the late 90s/early 00s. He said whenever they had more than one EV1 in for service, they would have EV1 races at night. People would FIGHT over who would be the driv

On the Lex Fridman podcast, he pretty much admitted he's not an AI (per se) and isn't the most excited about the tech (as he could be).

Same here. I've done a few little projects with ChatGPT4 in my back pocket. I've been able to give more aggressive timelines, more features -- and I've been able to hit those goals with ease. Probably the first time in my lif

I feel bad for Bard, because to me it is a fraction of the functionality and usefulness of ChatGPT (so far). This app won't help Bard at all.

Conversely, after using ChatGPT-4 (and generally loving it) -- I'm at peace with this maybe fact.

"Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss" -- and that's a slam on Elon who promised a ton of things like open sourcing the algorithm, etc. All I get now is a bunch of right-wing weirdo crap in my feed that I didn't subsc

I guess I understand why Toyota hasn't gone full-hog into EVs. There's a lot of life left in their hybrid and ICE drivetrains. What I don't understand is why whatever BEVs they have tried so far, have been pretty crappy. For

Electrify America's network is pretty bad, top to bottom. Payment processing is just the tip of the iceberg in how much it blows.

I'm not a super fan of Musk lately but the White House has done zero PR for Tesla since Biden took office. This is first.

As a Model Y owner I just rented a Polestar to do a 72 hrs, 800 mile trip -- just to evaluate the experience. I missed my Y for many reasons however the trip went well overall but the Electrify America charging infrastructure leaves much to

Seriously, this example perfectly illustrates Google at its worst.

FWIW, the company I work for went hiring crazy as soon as we committed 100% to full remote a few years before COVID.

I wonder how Gitea will hold up to all the traffic? Even Gitea hosts their stuff on Github.

At the time, using KA9Q on top of DOS was also a great way to accomplish the same outcome.

If your fork takes off, I (and others) would love to help contribute. Things like ChromeOS/Android table support (which many forks have added in the past) and being able to use an Android phone/tablet as a link device would be gre

Which makes the fact they seem so flat-footed by ChatGPT seem so insane. They invented or partially invented all this crap. I think they were afraid this tech would cannibalize their existing offerings and wanted to slow-roll things. Now t

As someone who has kids, wife, dogs, etc (and happy) -- I'm still envious of your ability to make ANY change you want w/o having to clear it with anyone. Just do it! :-) Also, I highly encourage you to watch this Ken Burn FLW doc

Valve is using the 'wrong' AMD gpu driver.

by cowmix 4y ago
I keep it docked (mostly) and it works great. My ONLY beef is that the AMD drivers do not work 100% with Blender so you don't get the accelerated Cycles rendering. Otherwise, it is great.

I bought Steam games and a Steam Deck just to support Valve... and I'm not really a gamer. However, the Deck has turned out to be a pretty good computing device.

My 2013 Volt has 150+ K miles - the engine runs like new. I've never touched the brakes, only 2 oil changes, etc.

I tried it. Ironically, it was pretty good for Powershell and so so for Python (in my case at least).

I've done A LOT of performance tests of running ML tasks (via Docker) on WSL vs raw Ubuntu on the same hardware. The performance of WSL is about the same as native - some tasks are actually faster, some slower -- but net out to be the

In 1990 I bought a PDP 11/70 at a garage sale in AZ. It was big, heavy and sucked tons of power. I ALMOST got BSD to boot on it.

I use gitea and I do some proselytizing for it. I do care if many people who are "doing" for an OS project are not informed with or have a choice in regards to the "brand" of the project. Sure, we can all fork this proje
