Tesla's sporty, two-seater robotaxi design puzzles experts
  • Absolutely. The way he talks too, he uses this flowery, overly technical language you usually only use when talking to engineers or technical people. It's purely an attempt to confuse and sound smart, as any engineer worth their salt will tailor their language to their audience.

    Tesla’s value drops $60bn after investors fail to hail self-driving ‘Cybercab’
  • Don't worry, since Trump will install himself as dictator for life, this means he has more than 4 years to get someone to Mars.

    Then again, given Trump's age and diet, maybe 4 years is generous in and of itself...

    Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host
  • Super cool! I came across this a few days ago myself actually, and it's really cool how easy it is to set up. Sadly I'm running Windows at the moment on my main gaming rig, so I'm still using Sunshine for now.

    Fetterman has to be one of the biggest disappointments for the left in recent memory
  • It must be so easy to grift money out of conservatives. Just spout some conspiracy theory about how 'they' are actually behind the bad things in the world and watch the money pour in, regardless of how little sense it makes.

    Windows Recall demands an extraordinary level of trust that Microsoft hasn’t earned | Op-ed: The risks to Recall are way too high for security to be secondary
  • This is exactly it, they're going to feed all this data into a model to try and get an AI to be able to perform operations in the OS like a human would.

    Which on the surface of it sounds reasonable, but only if they actually paid people to generate that data for them. And this isn't even touching the privacy aspects of a record of everything you do being generated and stored in plaintext.

    Gnome developers in a nutshell
  • You underestimate my power, I see a Settings menu, and instantly enter a fugue state, 30 minutes pass and I suddenly come back to myself, my desktop environment looks entirely different, the windows are wobbly, and GTK window theming is broken.

    I need help

    Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300
  • Yeah that's exactly the thing, people freak out so much about China having access to their data, but act much less concerned when it comes to their own government potentially having access to said data. One of these options has the ability to affect your life if they don't like your data, and it isn't China.

    (Not to get me wrong, I think no government should have access to one's data, moreso pointing out the double standard)

    Kagi silently removed all references to Google's index from their website
  • Oh interesting, I never knew about that side of Kagi. The fact the company is focused so hard on AI is a red flag. I don't think I'll renew my subscription when it comes up later this year, given how erratic their plans seem.

    My wife was unimpressed by Vim
  • Yeah exactly this, the main bottleneck when writing code is either reading the existing code or thinking about how I want to implement some logic, not how I move my cursor and writing the code itself.

    Offline alternatives to Roku / Streaming boxes
  • Most TVs these days have a USB port for exactly this purpose, you can load media files up onto a flash drive and plug it in, then you should be able to browse the files and play it from there.

    However, if you want to be able to play files hosted on your PC without having to copy them to a drive, you would have to set up a media server like Jellyfin on your PC and either buy or build a compatibility for your TV. Fire TV sticks or a Chromecast would work as cheap options to buy, or you could look into hosting a Kodi instance if you have spare hardware lying around.

    There are really a ton of options, my above suggestions are only scratching the surface.

    Remnant Protocol: a blend of space battles in the style of Star Wars Tie Fighter and strategy XCOM.
  • That's really neat to see, it's awesome devs are inspired by those classics. Hopefully they're able to capture that same magic with this game, I'm definitely interested in checking it out once it releases.

    Victoria 3 - Dev Diary #109 - Power Blocs
  • A very interesting look at blocs! I like how many customization options there are for the emblems, etc., and how they're folding the existing customs union mechanics into them.

    Is it too late to date for me?
  • I second this. Getting a source of external motivation like a coach is great for achieving a goal like this. Especially as they would no doubt have techniques to make the journey easier.
