It's not an infrastructure issue, but a cultural one that took off because of lacking infra. Those roads were designed for doing a maximum of 90 kph on them. Drivers were out of options, needlessly wasing time on thd road, so they star

Well, it's quite different now after being in the EU for nearly two decades. What you recall is regular roads, that cannot be called highways, but those got fixed as well. The highway infra is still not countinous, but it exists. And R

It's not complexity, it's magic . Useful when one cannot be bothered to write array.length. So is if (@a) when the array is empty.

Yup, Perl is something clearly out of Unseen University, err I mean Berkeley linguistics dept. I liked it, thought the sigils were a cute way to singal that something is a variable. When you work with deeply nested data structures, derefere

Not true unless you equate a normal road (one or two lanes per direction, rarely separated from the other direction) with a highway , which is something else (comtrolled access, separated lanes, safety lane). Top highway speed is 130 kph,

Why do you need a LLM running locally so much that's the inflated RAM prices are an attack on your wallet? One can always opt not to play this losing game. I remember when the crypto miners rented a plane to deliver their precious GPUs

Like JunoScript or JangoScript? JavaScript is just very outdated ECMAScript.

Dunno about AI, it works quite a bit like the old Siri, although she's got an iPhone 16 with a current iOS. Worked just fine when I asked it to play some artist other than the annoying YT Music playlists.

A.I. obviously.

Siri still works fine, I guess. I almost never use it (Android user) but got exasperated with Apple CarPlay's menus and asked it to play something in my wife's car.

Sure. I start the engine and then proceed to get the snow off and defrost the windows using a broom and a scraper. Good way to adjust yourself to the cold. Remote start won't help much in anything more than 2" of snow because it w

Which French government? Borne, Attal, Barnier, Bayrou, Lecornu I, II? Because they seem to all get a vote of no confidence lately. They're all on their way out.

Exactly, over over IEEE 802.15.4. Easy to bridge to IP using the appropriate border router or whatever they are called.

You still have to manage those and assign them through DHCP every time the device wakes up and turns the radio on. Maybe WiFi 7 will address that with the low power mode? Also, I don't want a 100 sensor mesh network on my LAN. That&#x2

I believe only the ESP32 modules with 16M have QSPI flash, the 4M standard flash is on chip. For on the fly decryption you need on chip enclaves to store the keys. Anyway, it doesn't really matter for hobby projects and the ESP32 can a

Any ESP32, RP2040 or RP2350 board. The last two use external QSPI flash, so hobby projects only. There are no fuses to set to read protect the firmware.

Multiple reasons like not enough v4 IPs, devices being able to sleep most of the time to conserve power, security cameras and IoT devices getting hacked and faling prey to by botnet operators etc.

Sure, France and the UK are just going to sit and watch Russia occupying Northern Europe. And btw, the Nederlands has US nukes on its territory.

The response was likely also written by AI so there is no point analyzing it. It just ads insult to injury.

If the Chinese wanted to hide anything they'd put SIM chips without markings or eSIMs inside, as opposed to marked SIM cards. What they did is probably obtain a good quote on Romanian SIM subscriptions that work across the EEA. This is
