Microsoft Authenticator is annoying. It doesn't work if you have notifications off or "do not disturb" on, so I can't log on to anything in the evenings.
Australians are more litigious than Americans, with similar insurance costs for doctors, yet our healthcare costs are still half of the USA's. So insurance costs may be a factor, but its doubtful that its a large factor…
I find that LLMs are almost comically bad at projects that have a hardware component like RaspberryPi or Pico, or Ardunio. I think that its because often the libraries you use are niche or have a a few similar versions,…
The change is a good one, and there's still abilities that differentiate species, so dwarves still have toughness, and a bunch of other abilities. Previously a Dwarven wizard was just a really bad choice, and you'd be…

My brother (Australian) spent some time in Canada and was able to see a doctor straight away and really cheaply a bunch of times, and visited the hospital once with a nasty foot injury with no dramas. It seemed like a…
Even in Australia is the LLM lag to a server noticable? Generally an LLM seems to take about 3s or more to respond, and the network delay to the US is a couple of hundred milliseconds. The network delay seems minimal…
There's many companies that have reproduced the tictok algorithm. Surely if it was sold, the multibillion dollar company would have no issue with that aspect.
My SurfaceBook has a better build quality that my MacBook Pro model from the same era (2019) - MacBooks have improved a lot in the last few years though with the new chips I guess? I prefer the MacOs to Windows, but…

I don't know, I used to catch gypsy cabs in London twenty odd years ago and you were taking your life into your own hands. There were some pretty shady operators. I can see why a government might want to license taxi…

You don't want HikVision cameras - Unreliable junk. There's a reason that they are so cheap.
In Vancouver, a western property market generally considered as overheated and overpriced, the house price to income ratio is 7.8 In China's major cities, the price-to-income-ratio is around 40 or 50. These are figures…
Interestingly the RDP client on the mac app store is really good. Its better than the Windows client because it just works as another desktop in the Mac OS, with no bar at the top, and you can jump in to and out of…

Battery prices are also dropping, although as not as fast as solar, but its at the point where in some regions solar + battery is cheaper than coal Modern Gas turbines can also act as a good backup for solar in times…
