I’ve seen someone explaining why it’s not as easy with semiconductors: Airbus can spread several different factories for different components around the EU. For semiconductors that’s not as feasible. Thus countries would fight which one would have the semiconductors factory. I think it was more or less this argument, which seems to make sense.

I think your engineering process is fundamentally broken if you are generating PRs with 230 files changed so regularly that you need to bolt on more AI. You’re solving the wrong problem.

Of course no fiddling is a primary point. That’s probably _the main point_. Sure you need _some_ configuration/setup, but it’s in a completely different ballpark to a custom built solution.

Now this would be more credible to me.

Interesting, I'm also building one in Swift :D Seems like a good learning experience.

Yep this is what I’m seeing as well. The poster has a bunch of videos to sell an image of expert and courses.

This post feels a lot like an ad for courses.

At this point does it matter that there’s apparently no reasoning and it’s not the path to AGI? To me it seems like even as it is, it’ll be a huge disruption to everything, and that it’s not a bubble in the normal sense. Over evaluated, maybe, but there’s still a lot of value.

Loved reading the reasoning[0] for the recent "Walk or drive to the carwash" trick.

Yes, that’s why they are on the race to building the very advanced robots. To prevent the violence towards them.

lm2s — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:56:25 +0000

In what world is this "The 2026 TUV Report doesn't mention which defects were responsible for the Model Y's disappointing performance." acceptable?

Why are they not publishing which defects exist? Not only it make more credible, it would also warn people of what to look for.

Funny story: I actually forgot my backpack in the train at Zurich HB and it went to Basel and back again to Zurich HB, where I was able to get from the train. All the while I was nervously looking at Find My, seeing it travel and just hoping it wouldn’t be stolen.

New comment by lm2s in "LG UltraFine Evo 6K 32-inch Monitor Review"

lm2s — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 12:08:50 +0000

I bought one, then returned it the following day. I cannot comprehend how LG is shipping these monitors and people are buying them. The matte finish on the screen is very bad. So bad that you see colorful grains (maybe 0.05-0.1mm each) all over the screen. Particularly noticeable on light content. I had seen some people complaining about it online, but never would’ve imagine that this was the actual issue and it’s still mind boggling that they are producing and shipping these monitors.

New comment by lm2s in "The Effect of Noise on Sleep"

lm2s — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 13:38:34 +0000

Would love to know what kind of noise and sound level was used for this test. Was it a continuous monotonous noise (such as white/pink/brown noise) at a fixed volume? Or was it some random noise that would "pop-up" randomly?

Does anyone know?

I would imagine that a noise that would randomly "pop-up" would be worse. But would be curious if that's not the case.

Does anyone know if they are available and where the used audio could be downloaded? Would love to understand how much compression they put in the audio vs the original.

Interestingly almost everything VW will reintroduce is already physical on Tesla, no? The only thing with no physical buttons on Tesla are the temperature and fans. Or am I missing something?
