Why does it need millions of users to be useful to the individuals which use it? It's not a social media site, so I don't care how many other users they have as long as it's a sustainable business for them to keep providing a service to me.

As someone who lives on a residential street right by a primary school in the UK, the majority of drivers are going over 20mph even at the peak time when there are children everywhere.

While in theory human drivers should be situationally aware of the higher risks of children being around, the reality is that the majority will be in their own bubble of being late to drop their kid off and searching for the first free spot they can find.

This is great and similar to what I was thinking of doing at some point. I just wasn't sure if it needed to be specific to Sweep Local or if it could be a generic llama.cpp provider.

If you lease a car the owner of the vehicle isn't the driver, but the lease company itself. Tesla was contacted to provide the drivers name (as is their legal obligation) and when they didn't they were fined.

Exactly the same is true if you own the car outright. You as the owner of the vehicle will be contacted and asked to provide the details of the person who was driving at the time.

Would this be able to support TCP and UDP in the future?

Yes, negative is rare, but I wouldn't say that it's overwhelmingly expensive.

The median range is 15p-20p (60% of the time in December) and the UK "price cap" is about 26.35p.

With a tariff like that, shifting usage outside of 4pm-7pm can lead to massive savings. With our usage from the Octopus API, I can see from OctopusCompare that in the past month my effective average unit cost would be 19.24p/kWh, and we don't do any specific load shifting.

Related: Very interesting article about Monzo's "stand-in" system which allows the app to be run with minimal services running in a different cloud in the event of a full outage of their primary systems:

We do have bicycle ambulance which carry a defibrillator [0]

The 40 paramedics attend over 17,000 calls a year and the average response time is 6 minutes.

I prefer the pricing model of TablePlus[0].

$99 for the current version forever with 1 year of updates. Once that expires you can keep using the last version you had access to forever, or get another year of update for $59.

Fair and flexible for everyone.

Pretty much every electric car has charging stops built-in to the navigation. For some the quality of the data isn’t as high, but it will be there.

Many like Polestars and Renaults are built on Android Automotive (different from Android Auto) and the built-in navigation is full Google Maps with direct access to the cars battery state and control systems.

Works perfectly on my Renault Megane E-Tech.

Such an easily debunkable line with even the tiniest bit of critical thinking.

You’re basically saying the drug companies subsidise a loss in Europe by over charging Americans, right?

As the drug company is a private and doesn’t have to sell everywhere, why wouldn’t they just skip the loss making Europeans and just sell to Americans? They’d make more profit that way!

That must mean they make some profit from the European prices, otherwise they wouldn’t be bothering.

Thank you for the confirmation. I have updated to 4.13.0 anyway.

Your status page isn't clear, but are all versions between the compromised and "safe to install" versions compromised or just the ones listed?

For example I installed `posthog-react-native` version `4.12.4` which is between the `4.11.1` version which is compromised and the safe to install version `4.13.0`. Is that version compromised or not?

The iPhone hasn’t had a “real” home button since the iPhone 7 in 2016. It’s a static touch pad with haptic feedback.

It’s buried in the “new widgets” section:

> As part of the Family Hub™ software update, we are piloting a new widget for select Cover screens themes of Family Hub™ refrigerators. The widget will display useful day-to-day information such as news, calendar and weather forecasts, along with curated advertisements

For homelabs, yer you can get something much better for much less.

For use cases where consistency and future support is key (education and industry) you really can't beat a Raspberry Pi. Their hardware and software support is top class. The first Raspberry Pi is still supported by the latest version of their OS over a decade later and it's even still being manufactured.

For all their products they commit to long term availability. For example, the Pi 5 will be in active production until at least January 2036 (assuming the company itself exists of course).

For anyone with a fleet of these, that's an amazing commitment. It means that when a piece of hardware breaks you can buy a band new but identical piece of hardware to replace it.

For most other companies you'd need to buy a different piece of hardware. Yes, the specs would be better, but now you have a fleet with mixed hardware which _you_ need to support and maintain going forwards.

All makes sense. I presumed it was an oversight.

It’s hard for me to conceptualise what a million tokens actually looks like, but I don’t think there’s a way around that aside from making proving some concrete examples of inputs, outputs, and the number of tokens that actually is. I guess it would become clearer after using it a bit.

I completely get why this pricing is needed and it seems fair. There’s a major flaw in the announcement though.

I get that the pro plan has $5 of tokens and the pricing page says that a token is roughly 3-4 characters. However, it is not clear:

- Are tokens input characters, output characters, or both?

- What does a token cost? I get that the pricing page says it varies by model and is “ API list price +10%”, but nowhere does it say what these API list prices are. Am I meant to go to The OpenAI, Anthropic, and other websites to get that pricing information? Shouldn’t that be in a table on that page which each hosted model listed?

—

I’m only a very casual user of AI tools so maybe this is clear to people deep in this world, but it’s not clear to me just based on Zelda pricing page exactly how far $5 per month will get me.

She's on the right wing of the ring wing party in the UK, so she's likely not a good candidate for a general election where you need at least some centerist support. This is likely why Labour are doing well with Kier Starmer as he's palitable enough for modorate Tories to vote for.

Apparently the receiver is roughly the size of a pizza box, so only really useful for static use-cases or attached to something like a truck.
