Now that's a reference

HeavyRaptor ,

I lost faith in the verge after how they handled the whole PC build fiasco

HeavyRaptor ,

Would you even be able to move it? You'd have to put it in neutral first so you can attempt to push it but good luck with that if it's bricked. I know electric cars generally shouldn't really be towed either (a few meters might be okay but I'm not sure).

I'm still looking for something to replace my shield TV tube. I don't believe that has AV1 support.

HeavyRaptor ,

Homing Pigeons 🪽?

Who knows, maybe now Chat GPT will blabber about for an extra three paragraphs before getting to the point and then give you bullshit info like many of the YouTubers.

Chat GPT, how do I change a light bulb?

Hey, what's up, fam? Welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm going to show you how to change a light bulb, but first, let me tell you about this crazy party I went to last weekend. It was insane! I mean, the DJ was dropping beats like nobody's business, and the dance floor was on fire!

But back to business. You know, changing a light bulb might seem like a simple task, but trust me, it's all about the technique. Before we dive into that, though, let me share with you my latest fashion haul. I just scored these killer new sneakers that are going to take my style game to the next level!

Changing a light bulb is like changing your mindset, you know? It's all about embracing the light and letting go of the darkness. Deep stuff, I know. But hey, that's just how I roll.

Okay, back to the light bulb situation. So, you're gonna need a ladder for this. Or maybe a chair if you're feeling adventurous. I mean, who needs a ladder, am I right? Safety first, who needs it?

Next, you gotta unscrew the old bulb. But be careful, 'cause sometimes those suckers can be stubborn. If it doesn't come out easily, just give it a good yank. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Now, grab your new bulb and... umm... just stick it in there, I guess? I mean, it's not rocket science. Oh, and make sure the power's still on while you're doing this. Adds a little excitement to the process, you know?

And that's it! You've successfully changed a light bulb. Or at least, I hope you have. If not, well, there's always candles, right? Anyway, thanks for watching, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this video with your friends. Catch you on the flip side!

I'm also a Swiftkey holdover, trying Heliboard now..

Is there a keyboard that can do haptic feedback while typing and enable multiple languages at the same time. These two features are really missing for me.

HeavyRaptor ,

Thanks! I went back and eventually found the settings for them. You can even configure the length of the haptic feedback which is great.

So this wasn't exactly retaliation. The first approval epic got this year was from an automated system. Once they got the approval they assumed (very understandably) that apple was okay with them establishing their store within the new guidelines, so they announced their plans publicly. They also continued to diss apple on Twitter of course. Hearing the announcement, Apple execs decided to ban them again because they didn't adhere to the rules last time.

This however completely looked like retaliation from apple's side, so the DMA lawyers started an investigation and Apple had to re-allow epic again.

Wether it's apple's fault for having the shitty automated system or not, doesn't really matter though. I just hope we get proper sideloading by the end of the process.

I could kinda see them designing a chip maybe but that's not what they are saying. Many companies have their own chip by going to AMD for example and using their designs and process nodes to create something more use-case specific. For example the steam deck's soc is a custom design madefor Valve. Or as you said it is possible to licence and customise designs from Arm to create your own custom SOC. This is what smartphone manufacturers do. Then they take their designs to a foundry like TSMC to create actual chips out of them.

But I don't think that's what openai is aiming for here, they want their own foundry. They themselves want to design and produce the chips.

Not even considering the actual design of the chips, just being able to mass produce something on the scale of modern transistors with economical yields is an insane task.

On some of the newest nodes, one aspect of lythography (the process of marking out transistors with a directed light) involves creating a micro-drop of certain molten metals. While the drop is falling, it is hit by a low power laser to change its shape to a 'pancake' like form. After this it is hit by a more powerful laser that vaporises the drop, crating a very specific wavelength of light. This light is then focused into an extremely sharp laser that marks out the transistor patterns on the target silicon. The process happens thousands of times a second.

Of course you can't just buy one of these machines on Amazon. Each company guards their newest process nodes with the utmost secrecy, as developing a new node can cost billions of dollars, not even mentioning what it costs to build, outfit, and run an actual foundry itself.

This is one machine that is part of the complex process that is making microchips. Nvidia doesn't even have their own foundry, they have been relying on Samsung and TSMC recently.

Asking for trillions of dollars to build something from scratch is just so unbelievably silly. Almost as silly as someone actually giving it to them.

Linking to the actual test so you don't have to visit the verge.

What is interesting to me that many failed on the driver monitoring side which to me as a consumer (not a traffic authority) is probably actually a pro not a con. I don't want my car insessantly beeping at me for dumb reasons. I wouldn't intend to use these systems without attention but stricter controls will also mean more false positives.

By this logic Lexus, Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, and even Ford seem great (somewhat depending on the model of the car).

Whats also funny is that the Tesla utterly failed almost all categories except the lane change (and passed emergency). But it can't even do that unless you're willing to pay them extra thousands of dollars for the software unlock.

HeavyRaptor ,

Also some of these cars are from 2021. I imagine there can be a significant difference between these and newer models.

I wonder how Audi is doing. They had a level 3 car coming out a few years ago now. Haven't heard of it since...

HeavyRaptor ,

That's fine, I agree it makes the roads safer, but it won't make me buy a car that screams at me

HeavyRaptor ,

Almost feels like it's more about kerning than actual character changes. Though I do prefer the symbols of calibri.

It's really annoying. I was looking for a smart wearable with blood oxygen monitoring, and couldn't find much useful info on reddit/Google so I asked bing chat. Instead of giving a useful answer it was parroting some bullshit about these gadgets not being medical devices. I know... if I wanted a medical device that's what I would look for.

It's always been the case where you can research information that is plain wrong or even intentionally misleading. You have to take a measured perception and decide whether the source is to be believed.

And I shouldn't have to justify every query I make to the bloody computer. It's not the AI's job to give me a lecture about skewed ethics every time I have a technical question. We're heading to a world where children will be raised by these answers and I think the constant caveats and safety nets do much more harm than help. Learning to be critical is much more important than learning to follow the forced ethics set by some corporate guidelines.

(got the Ticwatch 5 pro btw - no thanks to bing. It works amazing, wakes me up with sleep as android when I forget to put on my cpap mask)

How can the picture be real of your eyes aren't real?

How can the picture be real if your eyes aren't real?

I was concidering switching to an apple TV if it had proper adblock for YouTube. I guess this won't be the case then

HeavyRaptor ,

I've tried yatee several times now on various ios devices but there always seem to be issues. Do you know an invidious instance where 4k works reliably?

HeavyRaptor ,

I moved from the last Intel i9 15' mbp to a 14" m1 pro machine for work and the difference is stark. The m1 pro is significantly faster in both everyday tasks and code compile than the (now older) i9. It is also completely silent where the Intel machine will turn the fans on constantly even for light tasks. The m1 also has more than double or triple the battery life, allowing me to easily finish an entire day without plugging in, where the Intel one will doe within 2-4 hours depending on workload. I don't even really have to think about it. Overall the m1 is a significantly better machine. Intel is just starting to catch up with their core ultra cpus but I haven't used those yet personally.

Apple are assholes but the m1 chips turned out great.
