You’re going to be counting for many many years

Even on a 5090 qwen is really impressive. Felt as good as Claude for little projects.
Can you make it so "exit cockpit" navigates to a route rather than execute a back on the browser, as it takes me back to the hacker news page when I push it.

Also took me about 5 minutes to find the cockpit view button after I'd selected a flight but that might be a me problem :)

How complex are we talking? I one shotted a game boy emulator in <6 minutes today

It’s basically a web browser machine, that’s fine.
Re:Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine) on Monday March 02, 2026 @05:04AM (#47215907)
Nobody seems to consider that doing it yourself, requires you implement it at least as efficiently as the commercial engine did, otherwise you're just creating a worse-performing implementation that seems to behave just like a bloated engine does.
A lot of us are being forced to deploy AI, and have concluded that the built in security issues are essentially unsolved. So we’re stuck.

I have a 57” ultra wide and it absolutely requires you to look around

You just making stuff up? ComfyUI just works on windows.

Re:How to Firefox on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @08:15AM (#44658336)
That’s the main reason for me using Firefox and uninstalling Chrome
If you can use bifurcation I guess there’s scope to fully utilise it
It’s legitimately confusing when you see a blink in the corner of your eye and don’t realise something has updated. Or miss it altogether.

It’s a UI problem in how to make it update immediately but also have an indication that it’s updated.

Re:Attacking My Landlord's Boiler on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @08:49AM (#43761490)
Probably not otherwise the original would also potentially run that risk
Re:Attacking My Landlord's Boiler on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @08:39AM (#43761416)
I’ve got a similar problem, and plan to replace the thermostat with a Shelly relay which can be toggled by home assistant’s events based on the TRVs in each room.

Then the boiler is basically controlled by the relay.

The DJI batteries and charger are very clever too. The batteries auto discharge to a safe level after 2 weeks on the shelf

Can a node be a VM?
In my whole life working in IT, I’ve seen two people use PWAs. And one was just trying it out to see if it was better than a website.
