Huh, I was googling for this exact tool a couple of weeks ago. Is there anything you can share - about how you're approaching it, and your progress? Need any beta testers? :)

Agree totally; what Comma has achieved is noteworthy precisely because they've not gone the obvious SV route. They've delivered a meaningfully functional product that you can actually buy for a very reasonable price and retrofit

Thanks for sharing the document. But I'm confused; while I've only skim-read, the 'overall ratings' on page 6 appear to show that Comma 2 rates as best, not second best?

Funny just popped up; I just learned of the existence of overpass-turbo via a geoguessing video on Youtube [0] just this week. Thanks for an interesting article! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl2Q9xH8e7M

Agree - WSAD or just cursor keys would make it really 'walking' - currently it's more like 'click to jump' :) Also, could you tweak you algorithm to have the geometry deform less at the edges of the viewport? At th

Let's turn the question around: do you think the Chair of the Space Council is directly responsible for operational decisions related to complex engineering issues on a developmental space capsule? I suspect (with heavy irony) that s

You can download a .glb file (from the HuggingFace demo page) and open it locally (e.g. in MS 3D Viewer). I'm looking at a mesh from one of the better examples I tried and it's actually pretty good...

I'm really excited for something in this area to really deliver, and it's really cool that I can just drag pictures into the demo on HuggingFace [0] to try it. However... mixed success. It's not good with (real) cats yet - w

Related question that I was briefly pondering last night: is iOS only offering Siri anticompetitive? Should (will?) Apple have to open up and allow other agents direct access in the same way Siri has? Either allowing user control over the b

While I agree with your overall point, it's also worth asking where the desire for a new belonging comes from. There may be more obvious stimuli like established hobbies, or peer pressure, but ultimately a lot of the desire for a new b

This was the result of Swiss direct democracy within the small town in question - essentially, an idea from citizens, voted on by citizens within the relevant area. So actually more "free" than most countries can even imagine.

Probably not in the small Swiss town of Vernier ;)

This is Swiss direct democracy in action. Bravo. (They have a very interesting system, for anyone interested in learning about how politics may be done differently. And it's supported by [or generates?] a culture of significant polit

I understand (as much as I can) that it must be very frustrating, as you outline. However, the post I was asking the question of sounded a step or two beyond occasionally saying "fuck it" (which we all do, I suspect, whatever out

Interesting; as a non-diabetic, there are lots of (nice) things I don't eat regularly (pretty rarely in reality) for general health reasons. Hash browns aren't a particular thing for me, but they'd definitely be on my '

Well, the reputation comes directly from a few big scandals in the past - Armstrong/US Postal most obviously. More generally, it’s obviously an ideal sport for some forms of doping given it’s based around extreme endurance. But there

Great example, but sadly a collective of wronged Postmasters didn’t (at least until recently) have much clout - partly hence the problem. In the Crowdstrike case, we have multiple major airlines, multiple airports, hospitals, and some larg

Hmm, if for the sake of argument we assume that spend on R&D is kept constant, then profit margin (being money left over after spending on stuff) does indeed account for development costs. In reality (I think this is your point) there&#

Thanks for sharing this - very interesting. It looks like it’s a register of payments from Pharma either for legitimate services rendered (e.g. consultancy, with travel costs) or hospitality (e.g. food and drink). Does it also capture other

What’s interesting here is that there appears to be little convergence from different manufacturers towards an ‘ideal’ design. I suspect that a good proportion of the aerodynamic work on cycling products (frames, wheels, etc.) is mostly for

It's an interesting question, as we have a spectrum from 'little to no transparency' through to 'full transparency' (which is pretty rare), and in the middle sits the usual approach of 'communications-team-led

I used to be there, until I discovered Mullvad, which is so fast and reliable that there’s no downside to using it permanently. The only time I ever notice is when, very rarely, a particular node is flagged by some website (most often Reddi
