It's nice having a physical button, touchscreen isn't as ergo or reliable

IIRC, some brand (maybe Subaru?) had a problem where the car would drain its 12v after a few hours retrying its search for 3g towers

Since their profits scale linearly with costs, this is a big win for the industry.

Depending on your lifestyle, IMO the USB-C cygolites are worth the expense vs dealing with old ones

He posted about it on his Twitter, I don't have an account so it's hard to find for me

Meta just gave DHH $1m in credits fwiw

I have an EV and can't charge at home (condo where cost to add a charger would be obscene). In 3 years there's been maybe 5 times where it's been a mild inconvenience. Which isn't nothing but a few hours of hassle is a pretty good price to pay for the thousands of dollars I've saved on fuel.

Is there something unique to Italy that makes it an intractable problem? Where I live we've been able to shift a huge amount of our fossil fuels over to batteries in a relatively short time. It's nice that nuclear has power production 24/7 but it seems unnecessary when there's already a glut during the daytime

Maybe just an artifact of where I live (Los Angeles), but whenever Ive considered taking Waymo to the train station, it's usually easier and often cheaper to take it all the way to my destination. eg right now a Waymo to the train station is $16, then you wait 0-15 minutes to hop on the train, paying an additional $3.50 round trip. I'm pretty pro-transit, but I can't deny that the ipace is a much more pleasant experience than the train (I can play my music, don't have to listen to other people, guaranteed seating, guaranteed AC, fewer undesired encounters with strangers).

Meanwhile, a waymo to a stadium on that same train line is $26. If you're with 1-3 other people, taking Waymo all the way is a no-brainer.

I thought pacing is just walking back and forth? So pacing the frontier would be like staying in the same place instead of making progress

TBH it seems like the Halo teams have been trying to copy COD for a while (going as far as adding COD mechanics to the Halo:CE remake).

If they're under the same roof, my optimistic hope is that they'll try to focus on how to differentiate the IPs. But realistically we'll probably just end up with even more micro transactions

Outside of specifics like the space shuttle program, launch costs have never been that big of a factor. Like 5-15% of a program's cost. If your satellite or rover costs billions to build and another billion to run for a decade, saving a hundred million (or even a couple hundred million) isn't that much of a game changer

In CA it's legal for regular citizens to detain someone if you think there's a reasonable public safety threat (but if you're wrong, you can obviously be in a lot of trouble)

In California, it's surprisingly hard to be a legal, responsible gun owner if you don't own your own car. Rideshare bans weapons via TOS, public transit (even unloaded in a locked container) is illegal.

In surprised they're redacting things like labels on a map

It may just be forced to lie when asked

You might get a kick out of the AuthaGraph projection, if you haven't seen it before (although Antarctica may be a smidge distorted relative to dymaxion)

They come with one stock, and Samsung says you shouldn't remove it (which doesn't mean you can't, but I'm not brave enough to try). It's like $20 to get it replaced if you live near a Samsung shop

Somewhere between the 5 and 7 the crease was drastically reduced (except on mine, because the screen protector is delaminating)

Yeah, I was surprised to see they just gave DHH a $1.5m credit. Can't imagine they'll have good ROI on that (although what do I know)

Isn't it also a dep of some AI tools? Or maybe they use their own binary

Colloquially, no. But do I think there will be W-2 employees of Amazon.com, Inc (dba Amazon) delivering packages? Definitely not. It's not like Amazon owned the Prime Air plane that crashed yesterday, or employed the pilots

The semi-interactive walkthrough on the website is really cool, great way to show the UX.

I've always wanted to use a round display and an 18650 to plop a mini bike computer into my headset (replacing the cap). There was a Kickstarter years ago for a project doing that, but it seems to have fizzled out

Some do, DOD is pushing grok

Would've been cool if they had actual improvements like the timeline only shows people posts from their friends

Fwiw the accessibility options have a setting to avoid across the street dropoffs

They're selling shovels during a gold rush with a 5% markup

I've had good luck using AI to reverse-engineer Bluetooth comms for "smart" products with shitty apps.

Do TPMSs have uuids? Although I suppose it would just be a matter of time until Flock tracks those too, if they don't already

Some cars do that (and let you choose between V8 vs spaceship sounds). Even though it's optional a lot of people mocked the feature
