Came here to say the same. I haven't tried in months but Rufus definitely spat out Python code from within the Amazon shopping app. I just had to use English instead of the local language.

Obviously, it is common sense.

But here is the thing: lots of parents (or people in general) are not able to use common sense and they need to be told absolute statements, because they will break them anyway, just like speed limits. So if you told them "absolutely 0 screen time" they will give them anyway some here and there screen time - which is fine. If the "expert" writing books, speaking on podcast or showing up in reels tells you "ah it's fine, here and there is fine, just use common sense" you will have an army of parents thinking that 2 hours YT for a toddler is "here and there" because "hey, it's not 6 hours a day like my neighbor!"


Non sequitur. The core idea is that if you have just self-driving cars you won't be trained enough to drive properly next time you're caught in a blizzard, because you never drove for the last 5 years.

I also question if the kind of person who actually drives while drunk - knowing perfectly by thousand of society inputs and peer pressure that it is wrong - will care enough to buy a self-driving car.


It's really ironic how the maintainer didn't catch that and actually trusted the user that reported the issue (and clearly used a verbose agent to write all the comments)

> the maintainer didn't catch that

They actually did notice something in <https://github.com/jqwik-team/jqwik/issues/708#issuecomment-...>:

> One short request before I go into details. Could you disclose on whose behalf you're discussing this? Just personal interest is fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not spending my time with some AI-driven company, let alone an LLM-controlled agent.


Yeah I read it. To which the other side moved from "we" to first person and said they are a solo developer, in a very long reply.

I'd say sad more than ironic. It's a person accepting to engage in discussion about a technical matter and unknowingly speaking with the machine, literally.

They said in the beginning that it doesn't even have a video out, so you cannot do gaming.

I've seen things where you have multiple video cards and can use one gpu to render to a framebuffer which is transferred to the other video card to output. I'm sure it adds latency, and it's probably unsupported... But no output doesn't mean can't do gaming... It just means gaming will be iffy.

There's some virtualized desktop server stuff too. Run a bunch of desktop sessions on a beefy computer and send a video stream to desktop players. With the right codec settings, the latency is probably ok for many games.


I thought you could run games by rendering on one GPU and outputting on another? Usually comes up with dual iGPU/dGPU setups, but could work here

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a dedicated effort to support display offload to, say, the CPU's iGPU.

I'm sure manufacturers would love saving a dollar per card, and OEMs would appreciate eliminating the support calls from "I just bought a new $2500 gaming PC and no video" because they plugged the monitor into the iGPU instead of dGPU.


This is exactly what "Optimus" and "hybrid graphics" is, the issue is that you need to configure that - laptops will provide information to OS "hey, this card has no video output" or "hey, there's an output MUX connected to output X on iGPU and output Y on dGPU", and drivers pick that up and know they have to setup transferring frames between the two or trigger the mux etc.

nVidia has also used the datacenter cards to run GeForce Now, at least for some lines of the cards, plus some of them come with license (or you can buy it extra?) for nVidia GRID that provides more flexibility for multi-instancing etc to run in virtual desktop


I have occasionally wondered the same thing.

Thinking about it more, on my setup I have a DVI port on the motherboard that I would be happy to use with a DVI cable, but I instead need to buy a DisplayPort <-> DVI converter cable to plug directly into my video card...

Yeah, seems like an obvious thing for some motherboard providers to want to provide.


Never a problem. RemoteFX does (did) everything you'd want. Make your OS, log in remotely through an accelerated client. The real problem is Microsoft did something around Windows Server 2008 R2 that killed performance (literally halved it) for RemoteFX. You're only now reobtaining the virtualized video performance we used to have back in 2008.

Because libraries predate copyright and publishers and all the industry behind it. If libraries were to be invented nowadays, they won't let them purchase a single physical book to be enjoyed by several different physical persons over the course of time. What the publishing industry would like to have is 1 physical person = 1 or more physical copies, not the other way round.

So how do you explain LLM companies paying roughly none of it? If you're saying the protection is stronger now... how have they not been sued out of existence?

Honestly at this point a library might be an easy sell, in some ways. Copyright holders would be getting something rather than nothing (or the nearly-nothing they get from streaming), they might leap at that.


This can't be overstated! Libraries would never be allowed to come into existence today. I think we should all think long and hard about the society we have collectively created. It is not too late to make an effort to fight to reclaim the rights and norms we've ceded...

/me scratches VAG cars from a possible new EV purchase.

I hate Elon as much as the next guy, but Tesla is still playing the API game way better than the rest of the pack (even with the "not so new" Tesla Fleet API change)


Volvo is also doing pretty good with offering an official API

But Volvo does not have cheap models with a reasonable range, unfortunately. I'm seeing right now on their Spain's website 40k EUR for a single motor EX30 with 337km WLTP which is ridiculous

EX30 in Spain starts at 29K small battery version, and 36 the large battery version. The dealerships make a huge discounts to be honest.

I was dealing with this 6 weeks ago!


Yeah this surprised me. 40k is for a vehicle ready to buy immediately from their website. At the same time they have an ongoing campaign for 29k for a financed EX30 + charger installation.

But I hate to deal with car dealerships, they are the worse kind of salespeople out there, trying to sell you what they need to sell rather what you need to buy. You need to go there with a very, very well informed opinion about it. But then they will play the discounts card...


And, does the Volvo community have something like TeslaMate built upon the API? It's not sine qua non factor but it will move the scale a LOT in favor of a brand.

Probably not yet, so far all I've done as an owner was generate an API key and set it up in an integration in Home Assistant so I can track my state of charge over time. I'm sure more software will come!

Volvo isn't Volvo anymore either. They are a brand label now owned by the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group since 2010.

If you want a real Volvo get an old one.


Volvo also has the fully mandatory requirement of a consumer Google Account to use the vehicle now due to how tightly integrated Google Automotive is.

You can still use the infotainment without signing into a Google Account. The only thing that's locked out is the Play Store and 3rd party apps (which you need the play store to download).

Even Google Maps is usable without an account.


Can you use android auto? For the normal person your phone is a better place to get all that anyway. The few people driving as a full time job will find the cars built in stuff better but for most your phone had everything the rest of the time so you want to use that.

Yes it also has android auto and carplay

I ask because my GM doesn't despite having android automotive. I have to give GM a don't buy unless you drive as a job because of this, even though the car is nice otherwise.

Fleet api kinda sucks, but esphome via ble is solid. Even managed to connect $10 macropad so kids in back can control music.

That's pretty brave.

> I tend to agree with you about participation, but I feel like there is a note unsung here.

I think we value _effort_.


And skill. Using AI is basically zero effort and tends to produce half-assed output. It's no wonder people are put off by it.

Totally! And as a kid of a family who mostly took pictures of the monuments and landscapes, it hurts a lot to just see 3-4 pictures with us in it out of 24 (or 25-26 if you were lucky).

I still take pictures of monuments, or the sky, or the landscape nowadays with my phone, at least trying from some unusual or less common perspective, but I do take a lot of pictures of my family as well, especially in day to day moments. And print them, from time to time, in physical albums. It's just so different.

Same, we went to the US a lot when I was a teenager. I have many good/fun memories of all the places we visited together, people we met, etc. A few years ago I went through some of the photos that my parents still have with about the same ratio of pictures with us in it. Random desert shots are even more frequent than people shots :).


Pure acceleration is not everything, especially on track. But I guess a Model S Plaid (RIP) would beat easily a Luce.
