If he actually uses the jet for Canoo-related business, this is not unreasonable. Assuming those trips may eventually lead to business deals, and that the amounts reimbursed are in line with free market prices, it is advantageous to Canoo.

It never takes as little as you (or others, myself included) think it should. Big companies have a lot of inertia and changing anything which is working today, even if it saves a lot, attached your name to the risk it will fail horribly, so

A few years ago I moved to Germany, not speaking a word of the local language. Imagine my joy when every google site helpfully switched to German, ignoring my browser's accept-language. Thankfully some googler must have been also annoy

Yes, but this is really a pity in the specific case of Arithmetic Coding, because, unlike "more recent changes to the format", it's been in the standard since the very beginning - but is not supported by a lot of implementati

The concept presented is something I can agree with in principle, but "transforming a filename into the content of the file" is a really thin justification for a responsibility. By all means don't build something where you ha

3 decades might be how long it takes until this is running locally in your glasses, although we may hit some hard limit in silicon before we get there at all. But AI models are already running on tablets (not necessarily on Nvidia hardware)

Starlink satellites are in a very, very low orbit - which means they "see" a fairly small patch of land. So if you're in eastern Ukraine, currently satellites #32581 and #44197 are above you, with #17994 coming soon over the

No need to ban this kind of fridge - it's already uneconomical compared to electric ones - people won't suddenly go buy one unless they need it to run where electricity isn't available. It's the type installed in most RV

I'm having an absolute blast with a Quest 3 and Skyrim VR running off my PC, via Steam Link, wireless. Not experiencing any latency (obviously this is all local - copper to my PC, Wifi to the Quest).

From a quick google search (to make sure I'm not just stating my memories, but actual facts) the RP2040 can toggle a GPIO at about 66MHz (via its PIOs. Otherwise a bit slower, and using more CPU). USB 1 is 1.5 or 12Mbps, so you should

Hi! I'm aware that JXL partially originates from Google's PIK - and also Brunsli??, but I had indeed forgotten that WebP started in 2010, wow, 13 years old already. I'll therefore correct my statement: "How could Google

by gruturo 3y ago
JXL is an image codec - it can afford to be less efficient (it's not! Other way around, rather) and not be hardware accelerated as its typical use case is not to present 30-60 images per second like in a video codec, it will not affect

To be fair, if you have only driven a Tesla, you potentially have no idea how bad, and yes, cumbersome, charging can be. My ex has 8 apps on her phone, to allow charging in some (not even all) of the many separate networks accessible in Ger

It already doesn't take one hour to charge most new cars - rather half, unless you insist on charging also for the last 15-20% which is slower to protect the battery. And this is a baseline from which we're steadily improving year

That's the beauty of Zigbee. You can run your own hub if you want, and no information leaves your home. Of course this is less, or not at all, true if you run a manufacturer's hub.

Valid point but the solution is right in your own post: Just call it Hubble 2.0 and preserve its symbolic value. Spend a little telescope time to repeat a few of its most iconic shots (Ultra Deep Field for example), post them side to side,

Wouldn't it make sense to allow it to decay and spend the money on something more modern? Optical sensors have had great advances in the meantime, the original Hubble lenses were wrong and a correction had to be installed, and the cost
