Probably not what GP was referring to, but Discord works totally fine in-browser without a client.

Less potential for vulns, telemetry, regressions, etc.

Check if you have hardware acceleration enabled for Firefox. It’s usually disabled OOTB for some reason.

That’s an amazing selection you’ve got! I’d love to try araza* one day.

Would be really cool to see a few pictures of your setup sometime, if you’re open to sharing :).

Yeah, top two photos are oysters, and the bottom two are chants.

Based on the time of year and their appearance, I think the oysters were a native oyster variety, but your point still stands in the general case :).

Gz king!

What’s next on your roadmap?

A lack of eyes disqualifies a man as eastern Roman Emperor. It’s understandable that many women would find that a dealbreaker.

To train eye strength, I recommend looking at things. Reading picture books can help stimulate hypertrophy as well.

From an engineering perspective, tying the backup camera to the CAN (and by extension, telemetry units) dramatically increases the possible modalities of failure.

The two are absolutely connected.

The second-order effects are not the fault of the regulators trying to make cars safer

This is where you’re losing me. The second-order effects are within the purview of those regulators and should have been addressed in-hand with the mandate.

Why would the automakers be willing to comply with safety regulation but disregard telemetry regulation?

Hell yeah, thanks for fighting the good fight.

Another pitch that I think has a lot of potential is to ask long-form creators to let paid supporters get videos through a non-Youtube distributor. It encourages people to talk with their dollars and diversifies the creator’s revenue stream, so there are benefits to all parties involved.

A niche academic history podcaster that I’ve listened to for many years was able to move off of Youtube long-term after branching towards Patreon (+ maybe Nebula?), and seems to be doing well with it. Shameless plug: https://www.shadowsofutopia.com/

In a vacuum, sure.

In practice, the government has moved from speed cameras (benign monitoring) to ALPRs (pervasive surveillance) without the public blinking. In practice, many auto manufacturers (Telsa, Hyundai, GM brands) have made it a matter of regular policy to ship home audio and video data from drivers’ cars to use for marketing and surveillance.

Backup cameras are a small drop in the bucket compared to other transportation design choices if you’re serious about a Vision* Zero endgame, and in my book, the potential for abuse makes them a liability rather than an asset towards that end.

Nonetheless, you’re arguing that the government should force people to install cameras on their private property in the interest of public safety, are you not?

Same vein: Should drivers be required to keep over-the-air software delivery enabled so that manufacturers can distribute safety-critical updates to their cars as fast as possible?

And enforcing telescreens into every citizen’s home is critical to ensuring public safety. Without constant monitoring, how can the State prevent sedition and deviancy? If you let people disable their telescreen speakers, how will they stay informed and alert if there’s an emergency?

If you don’t accept your telescreen, you’re neglecting your duty to protect others.

I see where you’re coming from, but that’s mostly a problem with trucks, vans, and SUVs. Let’s stop incentivizing manufacturers to pump out tanks first, then we can talk.

The increasing digitization of auto manufacturing has led to all sorts of second-order effects, including vastly more difficult repairs (ask your local mechanic if you don’t believe me), massive invasions of consumer privacy (see linked expose), and generally made cars far more brittle.

You’re one step away from advocating for the telescreens from 1984.

I’ll say it: Ditching ABS is horrifically stupid, but mandating backup cameras and backseat alarms is equally stupid in the opposite direction.

E: The article is talking about full-auto emergency braking and not ABS. I never thought I’d say these words, but I’m with Ted Cruz on this one.

This is a remarkably insightful test.

Subjective take, but the early SDs do pretty well then tail off, the smaller competitors are somewhat-asthetically-pleasing but poorly prompt-aligned, qwen comes in as a solid oddball, and lastly, the nano bananas are coming in with a big step function in terms of quality.

Instead, I asked my friend Karthikeyan Singaravel, who is a Python core developer, and he recommended using the deadsnakes PPA for Ubuntu to install any version of Python that I chose.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but deadsnakes is noob bait. It has some utility and convenience for sure, but it’s not portable and will probably hold you back long-term.

Unless you’re running bleeding-edge releases and need managed updates, just pull a tarball from python.org, and follow the README using make altinstall. You can do it; I promise.

If you are in the bleeding-edge camp, conda or uv are more flexible options that fill the same niche and more.

Not tryna drag OP in the slightest, but having a Google search tab open in a faang extermination meme blurs the messaging a bit.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve done that sorta thing before with ffmpeg; should do the trick for ya.

Varies based on DE selection :)
