I tend to prefer to avoid LitRPGs, they rot the brain and everything becomes a minmax number hacking endeavor.
Try Charles Stross's Accelerando and the Laundry Files series if you need good sci-fi. Foundryside and Empress of Forever are also decent. If you want fantasy, The Name of The Wind and Discworld are classics.

Isn't PornHub Canada's biggest tech company by traffic? They are hardly anonymous.

More like MCP for robotics. IMO they are better off getting the robots to use existing human UIs than trying to get hardware manufacturers to play ball.

Any plans to launch a competitor to the ForeFlight Sentry? The current Sentry is severely overpriced.
A normal non ADS-B iPad GPS flight module is almost 10% the price of the Sentry

I wonder if the modern incarnation of Android flagships would have taken off at all if not for Apple. When Android first showed up, the dominant "smartphones" were running Symbian and they had a very different view of the world when it comes to UX and hardware.

I assure you it's most certainly not waterproof in any reasonable sense of the word. The seals and glue on that thing is nowhere up to the standard of modern smartwatches.

A lot of times the e-ink display can handle much higher refresh rates but the driver board and software are trash.
See the modos for what a clean sheet eink design would look like.

Re:Kaisel – Routes as Values. Dart 3 Native Router for Flutter

The biggest issue with Go Router is that they keep changing the damn API. I can't believe the release cadence of a Flutter navbar library is faster than entire JS frontend frameworks like Next.js

It's good for the world but terrible for the practitioners in academia. Imagine you are in your last year of your PhD and then something new comes out and completely invalidates/obsoletes your results. Cough natural language processing PhDs during COVID when GPT-3 came around..

Their pricing...also leaves much to be desired. They are almost at Big Three cloud/Vercel level of cost with none of the stability. Their anycast network however is decent.

Haven't read the full paper but thr local generation window is a little small, especially since image inputs are especially token heavy. Depending on where the local attention layer is located, it would be nicer if it's bigger e.g. 4096 words at least.
