In NL I can buy a base Macbook Air with 16G memory and 512G SSD voor 1199,- inc tax. I just looked up my M1 receipt: in 2020 I bought a Macbook Air M1 with 16G memory and 512G SSD for 1399,- inc tax. I did not expect…
Bugatti has chosen with the new Tourbillion to go for an all analog gauge + button setup. Because handcrafted gauges and buttons (these days) shows of luxury. https://www.bugatti.com/en/models/tourbillon A flat…
Please the small but significant typo: it is B instead of M for the numbers.
I'm not a professional analyst but the numbers look weird to me. Prediction was to sell 507,000 in Q4, they delivered 497,570, but only made 459,445. That means that they had almost 35.000 cars "laying around" from Q3…
As someone who bought Microsoft Flight simulator via Steam I concur. I swear that Flight Simulator updates use at least 3 layers of redirection between starting via Steam, getting updates for the main program, and then…
I started with a Psion 3 and later a Psion 5MX and now 30 years later I still remember how good the user experience was. The agenda, de contact database, the way you could make your own database with data that you…
I'm actually shocked that a company that has spent 25 years on finetuning search results for any random question people ask in the searchbox does not have a good, clean, dataset to train an LLM on. Maybe this is the…
Interesting that they move to touchscreens. With all the Hacker News stuff that comes by every day I can easily say that 99.9% is not what I do in daily life. But building control rooms for large industrial…
I fondly remember Fractint (https://www.fractint.org/). And these days I'm amazed at what it could calculate with the very limited CPU cycles at that time. I'm not sure how to compare a 386 running at 25MHz with my AMD…
The article suggests that ChatGPT slows down because it is winter and in the winter people (and data on which ChatGPT trained) sometimes slow down: the dark/gloomy/depressing winter feeling. To which I made the…
In order to have the "winter blues" you must know that it is winter. And in all my questions to ChatGPT I never had positive feedback that it knows what time it is, what date it is, and what the current season is. My…
The problem is not keep the battery warm while parked, it's keeping the battery warm while driving. Most EVs can "preheat" themselves before you start in the morning, the smart one's might even learn the patterns and be…
Llama 2 70B Chat generates the same "safe" answer for me. The default prompt seems to be a large factor in the way that it forms a response. "[INST] <<SYS>>\nYou are a helpful, respectful and honest assistant. Always…
No the arab spring that is coming soon. Remember why it was there: because many countries could not pay for food anymore because of the high grain prices. And what is happening now in ukraine? Exactly: they cannot ship…
Most of the usual names will popup in the thread, like joplin and obsidian,etc.. But to my surprise Apple Notes has a very good enex import. It was the only program that kept the correct formatting of my notes,…
Working for a large international company I use ChatGPT mostly as a code generator for one time tools (for a variety of languages and shells) and also to generate boilerplate text for email answers and document…
The new sync is needed. Evernote is one of those rare programs in which the desktop apps work better than the mobile apps. Both on Windows and macOS the sync works very fast but on my iPhone I can literally wait 5…
As a current Ford Mustang Mach E owner I laugh about stories like this. The Mach E had so many TSBs, recalls, software updates, attempted software updates, updates that _bricked_ the update ECU (the APIM module) that I…
Your toolbar is a nightmare for people that may have some eyesight problems or are not expert FPS shooters in the latest triple A game and miss some mouse dexterity. What I'm trying to say is that a large surface is…
Just as rick rolling many years ago it was also fun to have people react to "Bagger 288" on Youtube, it is a weird video. On a more serious note: open pit mining is one of the most in your face destructive things that…
While not on the same level of dangerousness Google Maps will also route me through a nature reserve, with no street lights, cattle grids and no snow plowing in winter. All while the normal highway is 5km to the east…
The EU is already on this with new regulations. As of 2022 european trucks can be upto 90cm longer if the extra space is used for aero bodywork. The DAF XG+ is the 1st truck that uses a 60cm longer nose to get improved…
Amazing. I clicked on the PDF and got as far as page 4. I really tried to read each word of each sentence out loud and pause after each sentence to give myself some time to reflect on it. This is as if a GPT-3 model…
You all know that there is only one question to answer: what is the Google IA unit work from home policy?
As a long time Evernote user I can say that the move from Evernote 6.x to the 10.x version has been a bit of a rough ride. I still use Evernote everyday because I did not find any other note taking tools that fit my…
