I don't know that this is really a good idea, but if you insist then LM studio is a good tool for local LLMs and has nicely formatted output. Smaller 4B models will probably run fine (they do on my M2 Pro at least). I prefer it to olla

Well, first this should be marked as (2021). The rest is just a bunch of BS anecdata that definitely does not tell the story the author wants it to tell. The chart is sorted by battery life rather than date which really muddies the picture.

Agreed, I was more responding to the idea of tying into existing sensors or motorcycle data as noted above. The light I mentioned is part of a bigger lighting system that works through a CAN interface and has all kinds of control of setting

Ah, so just like with AKG they'll get rid of everyone who knew anything and then slap old (and already lower tier through their own lack of efforts) audio names on hot garbage.

An existing brake light product, the Billy light from Clearwater, integrates with the BMW canbus to pull the bike's acceleration data and use that as a basis for what this light appears to do.

On my fairly recent corporate laptop a 30 second login would be massively faster than my corpo-malware-ridden experience. 5 minutes to Windows 10 desktop this morning. A similar (slightly older) laptop I own boots from fully off to the KDE

A more reasonable comparison is probably the hybrid Maverick, which appears to be popular (at least around here), has 4 doors and actual features, and starts at around $25k.

Looks like a concept that will never actually reach the market. And if it does and I'm completely wrong, this concept is probably doomed anyways, as it is swinging far too far to the other side away from fancy tech and right into usele

Garbage. Has a lot of discussion that goes nowhere, then says "you have to subscribe to keep reading." I see no reason to keep reading. I regret having started.

It's always great when your shitty streamer or TV's dedicated button for a service goes to a dead product. What a great idea, and a great combination with Google, well known for killing products.

They're also functionally identical to my PS4 disc of Cyberpunk 2077 which is nothing more than a license; the PS5 version of the game and all updates were downloaded, nothing is loaded from the disc, but the game only works with the d

Considering how strongly Miyazaki cares for human art and human effort, and his past thoughts on early efforts in this space, he would likely consider this an abomination.

PCalc is indeed excellent. As for RPN, it's one of those things I didn't get until I was in my 30s and started using it. Then used it more. And now I'm at the point where using a "normal" calculator is a frustrating

This is not "government workers" in the sense of normal government employees trying to do their jobs with limited resources. This is "personal lackeys of the richest man on earth". Please don't imply equivalence.

Sounds like maybe you got fired for being insufferable, not for being good, and not because other people were bad.
