You are wrong.

This would be great for Duolingo. Sure they don’t serve porn but their gender content lack of nuance sucks.

The level of engagement during the FSD (I only oversee the FSD) is about 10% of the engagement during “I drive”.

Nobody can be told what FSD is. You have to see it for yourself.

Responsibility does not have anything to do with engineering capital E or whatever.

If you pay me I can of course sell you some responsibility or whatever. This is called business.

> the whole idea of “engineering” is about quality and responsibility

This is hilarious :-)

Making things that work has precisely zero relationship with quality or responsibilty or whatever shit you wish.

Of course you can pay me anytime for quality or responsibility or whatever :)

Cannot paste into the editor (safari on iphone).
Will it transcribe audio in Czech (in future versions)?

Actually I would be happy if it could just identify occurrences (timestamps) of a specific word or a small set of words.

If I buy in the US and use it in the EU – will the Apple Intelligence work?

I would be happy to sacrifice the EU keyboard and have the AI instead :-)

The author says:

“This class is about the study of programming languages.”

Where is that class?

580 km Range (WLTP)

250 km/h

3.5 sec 0–100 km/h

> Just use the word the way it's meant to be used.

Ha ha, you are funny:-)

This is the whole point of a (natural) language – the meaning of words is inevitably floating.

Do not nail down a meaning of a word, it’s impossible. Instead, try to imagine there is no word;-)

You are surely joking:-)

12000 hours is 4 years at 8 hours a day.

The F1 is so good that I don’t give a shit about some ad in wallet.

Is there a similar trick for non-letter characters ?

As expected – It’s not a vehicle design issue. It’s the driver behaviour and driving conditions.

“Most of these vehicles received excellent safety ratings, performing well in crash tests at the IIHS and NHTSA, so it’s not a vehicle design issue” [1]

“The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities.” [1]

Re:M4 Mac mini's efficiency on Tuesday November 12, 2024 @11:02PM (#42122786)
The Minisforum needs an external power brick which probably almosts doubles the size.

The Mac Mini does not need any external power adapter which is quite amazing.

With the icloud private relay they say nobody can see both my IP address and the websites I visit. [1]

  - Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. Your DNS records are encrypted, so neither party can see the address of the website you’re trying to visit.  

  - The second relay, which is operated by a third-party content provider, generates a temporary IP address, decrypts the name of the website you requested, and connects you to the site.
I wonder whether this disables the surveillance by the wifi companies like Plume.

Cincom [1] has made the VisualWorks [2]. To my knowledge it was the best “contemporary” SmallTalk I’ve ever had played with:-) Later they killed the free personal licence so it was no joy anymore. Anyway I wonder what will the future of the Cincom SmallTalk look like.
