I don't listen to the opinions of people who try to sell me a podcast subscription

Pretty sure it's an ad for theverge subscriptions
Can I also rip the steering wheel right off the car if I use a bit too much force, like in the Omodas?

Unfortunately yes, my Porsche Cayman's service is usually at least twice that of my wife's BMW 4 series.

Because it's a cool hack, it's new and he is showing it to people on HN.

Probably because of a mix of ketamine, magic mushrooms, ecstasy and adderall.
Re:uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @10:19AM (#44798294)
I cancelled my Adguard subscription when I found out the founder and team are russian. That's big enough of a difference for me.
From what I understand, they log in to a citrix-like webpage called IBM Host On Demand and then start a java applet which is essentially a 16-color 3270 emulator that's connected to z/OS mainframe.
I work with a lot of COBOL dinosaurs in the bank, I often like to watch them work on their 16-colors IBM z/OS host terminals, it's quite mesmerizing. Sometimes they show me some interesting code that was written before I was alive (I'm 36), or tell me stories about big mainframe incidents in the '80s, where they would get called in the middle of the night and flown to a different country to fix a bug because there was no remote desktop back then.

It called the polish prime minister a cuck, a traitor and a fucking pussy just yesterday, and it called his wife a slut bitch

Adguard is Russian? Thanks, just cancelled my subscription.
Re:Car companies are in a billion-dollar software war on Monday May 12, 2025 @10:19AM (#43963241)
Surely that's not why the interface is a laggy 10fps piece of shit and the touch latency is over 200ms. If my iPhone 3GS from 2009 can display the UI in 60fps without lagging like crazy then so can a $100k BMW that's straight from the factory. It doesn't need hundreds of extra modules.

I wouldn't even mind replacing the analog meters with a computer screen if it worked well. Instead it's a laggy slideshow where the tachometer is just basically an arrow randomly appearing in different places a couple times per second.

I ordered the wrong xbox on amazon once. Wanted the series X, got the one X instead
Crazy right? Here in europe they just tell me that my medication isn't covered and I have to pay the whole price for it - if I don't like it, I can switch the government and move somewhere else.

He meant shit keeps breaking and youll be constantly fixing it
A Colorado university recently proved that lying is a good political strategy because candidates who lie to their voters do not lose support even if caught and proven to be spreading falsehoods. Not really sure if that really contributed to humanity but here you go.

Re:Replace Philips Hue Automation with Home Assistant's on Monday December 09, 2024 @06:34AM (#42365210)
If the hue app works for you then don't switch. You'll spend days learning and configuring everything and in the end it will not work reliably anyway.

"not quite as extremely stringent as requested" is a funny way to say they were emitting 40 times more toxic fumes than permitted by law.
I have a hard time believing an eight year old child was watching Doom 3 developer talks and telling his kindergarden friends about buffer shadows and Carmack's Reverse.

They'll definitely do it. They promise.
Re:Everything we know about spies is wrong on Friday September 27, 2024 @10:23AM (#41670872)
I can recommend the french show "Le Bureau des Legends". It's written with the help of various consultants from the intelligence community and tries to be as realistic as possible, with most actual spies in the show being regular university students, office workers, psychologists, or even cafeteria staff. It's a fantastic show, although not very hollywood, so don't expect explosions or shootouts.
Tl;Dr - the author doesn't know.
Re:Apple Watch sleep apnea detection gets FDA approval on Tuesday September 17, 2024 @07:21AM (#41566493)
We've been sideloading iOS apps for years without any issues. You can use Xcode, or sideloadly, or altstore, or like a hundred other ways.
Do you think it would be possible to attach other language SRTs in the context? For example when translating English to Polish, the LLM has no idea whether the lines are spoken by a man or a woman, so the polish translation will be very confusing. However, if I could give the model both English and French subtitles, the gendered words from French would let the model avoid the confusion and the polish translation could be much more accurate. Does that make sense?
Can someone comment on what is the CPU/GPU usage while this is running? Does it also take up resources when the desktop is in the background or when another window is maximized?
Totally normal, happened all the time :))
I worked for two very big banks in europe and we have lots of cobol batch jobs that were written like 30 or 40 years ago.

My fiancée started learning it with a tutor about half a year ago for 4 hour per week and she's already making very good progress and is able to have short conversations, don't get discouraged! It's just a language like any other.
