The iPhone always messed up the colors of the PNW for me. It was one of the reasons why I finally took the leap and got an SLR style body before I moved there. I have no issue using e.g. AI-assisted patch and heal tools in Photoshop and Lig

It depends. In California and all the sunshine belt states, it probably makes more sense to charge at work, in the long run.

I've found the self-steering of new cars to be not at all useful for the stated use case. In my car, the self-steering pushes back a bit and deviates from the course ever so slightly so that you have to keep your hands on the wheel. I&

I wonder which EVs these are? My Ioniq 5 has standard door and window controls. The doors still open when the 12V is disconnected. Maybe I should be glad I have a plebeian Hyundai.

I think that's an American problem though. The fact that our electric cars have to be so big is another thing. We're just not winning on cost and feasibility. Besides that, I did pretty fine with just an e-bike, in the last year t

I had this happen to me when I was being harassed, back when I lived in the Bay Area. RF security cameras are a bit useless.

Maybe. Article says bicyclist was obscured by a truck. 17th street in Potrero is relatively quiet but that particular area often has cars coming off the freeway. It can be a maze to get through on bike. I wouldn't rush to make a judgme

So-so in what way? This product is clearly a toy. Which is to say that it is genuinely new. Maybe like how the Apple II was when it first came out. PCs were quite expensive back then too, if I remember correctly. This really will take tim

This really is the elephant in the room that no one wants to admit to or address. It’s not merely about economics. There have been planned economies in various degrees that have subsidized housing, willed industries into existence, that hav

I wouldn’t blow it off that quickly. It probably took a bit of homework to think through what they could get rid of and what they couldn’t. Of course, depending on how far-reaching the changes are, it might be a PITA to maintain a separate

I think it elevates it to the level of other STEM fields, but I wouldn't put it over wrapping your head around Lagrangians or figuring out where the noise in your experiment is coming from. What'd I'd say though is that manag

Programming isn't hard . It isn't easy either, but it isn't hard . I think the thing about programming is that so much of the "old" world misunderstood how it was hard. There is a lot more creative process stu

I thought the reason underlying that is that fluorite is not a glass, technically. It is a crystal. But I’m not a MatSci person so that doesn’t leave me any bit more informed.

Solar is very much about surface area. But you know how much weather happens in those two meters above the surface of the ocean? So we put wind turbines out there but not solar panels.

Google isn’t trying to pass the knowledge off as its own. When Google or Bing display summarized information, they provide links in citation style so you know where the information came from. Compare that to what you get from ChatGPT. If it

I wouldn’t say it’s that bad. 3km/hr is roughly the speed of a rec kayak, and people paddle those. But of course, it might create a false sense of security because weather that’d cause flooding…

3km / hr does not get you very far if you’re paddling against a current. I hope that no one abuses the feature or use it to do the dumb things people often do when they see a flooded road.

I’d also worry about how well the car’s bottom deals with underwater obstructions. And of course that people who own this car would engage in the same sort of shenanigans that we see with Tesla Autopilot. The car’s interior is a welcome bit

In Germany they’ve been developing headlight arrays that can very specifically track the road. But it wouldn’t fly in the U.S. because people aren’t required to keep their cars to the same level of maintenance as over there.

I have to quibble on this one for technical correctness. These denoisers remove detail, not add them. The assumption is that you should have flat and even areas, not finely pixelated areas.

In some Canadian cities, they build the residential streets with only one lane (there’s still traffic in two directions), and it solves both the speed problem and helps with the density problem. I hated it at first, but once I’ve parked my
