comes with the option of just buying another literal remote button for your door. newer doors have "encrypted" remote buttons, so you can't just wire in a new contact button like the one on the wall, so, you "wire in" a new, encrypted remote button. the button sits there inside the garage, and is a functional remote button, but is hard wired to the meross homekit device. when you use your phone, the device sends the "press me" signal to the remote, and the remote sends the encrypted signal to the opener.

works like a charm, available now, no hassle.

if all the cars that are in the lot are all robotaxies, then why not just have them turn off the lights (they use lidar, after all, no lights needed), and also turn off the "back up beep beep beep" audio. no need for that when no human drivers are around.

there, problem solved.

i'm sure someone will step in and correct my misunderstanding, here. i AM pretty sure i must be missing something

a good general software engineer with an agentic-ish AI IDE like Cursor, will have no problem fixing cobol. I don't know php, or wordpress, or SQL, or how to mitigate a ddos, or how to write an MCP plugin for Qt Creator, or how so use cloudflare to do the five separate things i need it to do, or any of the other DOZEN things that i accomplished last week, but with claude and several "make sure it passes the pinning and unit tests" prompts, I got it all working.

does anyone really think saying "pretty please" is going to stop the bad guys?

Until it has a chrome-compatible plugin architecture, this is a non-starter. At least for me. I can't live without my Bitwarden, and my AdBlocker. Just sayin'.

i mean, if the study is even true. has it been replicated?
in any case, hybrid vehicles still WIN over pure petrol. so. i'm still interested.

i've even seen triple negative headlines, where i have to mentally cancel out two of the negatives just to be able to understand the sentence...

why can't we just say "Judge Upholds law requiring retailers to disclose Surveillance Pricing"

no really, why??

Right, to TRULY expand the range, you'd also want vivid CMY pixels too. most displays simply can't show wicked vivid colors in those ranges, although yellow gets close:
if someone made a TV with THIS gamut and HDR, i'd buy it:

was it part of the settlement that Amazon must make it "one click easy" to unsubscribe? and have that button be easily discoverable?

did we not know that before? i know they take heavy metals to create but the long term benefits far far outweigh the startup cost. right?

We should have all LLMs validate their output through CYC, which knows and can validate actual common sense facts. We need AI to self-fact check, and getting it to use the CYC ontology database seems like a worthy start.

"The upstanding and honorable legal scholars, zealously pursuing justice, that worked to convict him, were some of the same excellent activist attorneys who were involved in the modern day investigation of into all of my admitted crimes, and i'm whining that they're holding those things against me," Trump said in his post online on Tuesday evening. "He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Only because he provided horribly addictive drugs to children, and other folks who desperately needed help!"

do they emulate each instruction as they get to it? or do they JIT compile and run the pre-translated software? i'd think they'd get pretty decent performance if they JIT compiled it.... ?
