Can this be used to get EU specific features too? (AltStore and such)

Any source on the "most waymos are remotely driven by a human" claim?

New comment by sagz in "Snapdragon Dev Kit for Windows – the fastest X Elite, tested"

sagz — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 16:22:59 +0000

A telling bit:

> Generally, the performance was underwhelming compared to my expectations. I know from my work overclocking Raspberry Pis there are diminishing returns when you force-feed more power into a chip that's optimized for a certain level of performance.

> There's a lot more power, a lot more heat, and only marginal performance gains. It looks like the Snapdragon X Elite on a laptop at 20-30W is only 15-30% less performant than the X Elite on the Dev Kit running at 80-100W!

> And it's downright embarrassing, efficiency-wise, compared to Apple's M3 and M4 chips (M2 is close to comparable, at least).

MacDroid on MacOS is a shareware utility providing similar functionality of using ADB Shell level FS access inside a directory in Finder using the new File Provider API

Interesting. How does Stripe and other SF based payment platforms handle it?

Wow! May I know the router model that does 900+mbps of Wireguard? The dedicated GLinet box I got for tailscale does only about 60-90mbps. Apple TV 4K does a paltry 20-40...

Hi! Love Msty

Can you add GCP Vertex AI API support? Then one key would enable Claude, Llama herd, Gemini, Gemma etc

sagz — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 09:11:24 +0000

There's also something fishy about DJI in that their Android app to control their drones is intentionally not listed on the Play Store. I've never seen a manufacturer require side loading.

Anyone know why it's not on the Play Store? (On iOS it is on the App Store, well because there isn't another way till this DMA thing kicks in)

New comment by sagz in "After Figma’s $20B windfall evaporated, it’s picking up the pieces"

sagz — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 21:19:15 +0000

tl;dr: The article reports on Figma's challenges after a $20 billion deal with Adobe fell through due to regulatory scrutiny. Figma had to halve its internal valuation to $10 billion, affecting employee morale and leading to severance offers for those wishing to leave. The situation illustrates broader regulatory impacts on tech industry mergers, with similar actions affecting other companies and reshaping expectations around acquisitions and employee compensation.

Always a delight to see a Neal fun link here.

I was able to get to Dandelion after many combos! Hoping it gets to human soon.

Will try to extract the full tree from the code :)

It's an accessibility feature for people losing their voice or on the verge of. And it is TTS only, not speech-to-speech as your mention of "can use it in phone calls and facetime" implies. Not being s2s means it doesn't retain vocal disfluencies, prosody etc signals that make a voice feel real
