AA but having a swappable battery tray

Microsoft did something like this with xbox controllers. There are additional contact points inside the battery chamber for a li-ion pack, so you could use a pair of AAs or their rechargeable pack that just fits into the same space.

I disagree about the batteries. Give me replaceable AA cells any day over a built-in Li-ion. Rechargeable AAs are readily available and quickly swappable if you keep hot spares. Much better option for long term serviceability.

I’ve been waiting for someone to do this for years.

I can’t speak for other manufacturers, or even in other countries, but Mitsubishi Canada at least has an opt-out for data collection. You need to call their customer care number and they will remotely disable it.

When cruise control is on, yes, but it’s extremely gentle. The slightest bit of resistance from the driver will overpower it.

Can’t also for Toyota, but yes, my Mitsubishi has the option of simple cruise control without lane keeping.

I’ve never had any issue with the lane assist in my Mitsubishi. It’s absolutely built as an “assist” and not something that will actually try to take control from you. It’s trivial to “overpower” it manually and turn out of your lane without signaling if that’s what you want to do, but does a perfectly reasonable job of steering on its own when left to its own devices.

That said, I wouldn’t be driving a vehicle new enough to have the feature yet either if I hadn’t been rear ended a couple of years ago and had my 2012 Lancer written off. :(

With imagery, or in abstracts. I have an internal monologue but not everything is a monologue. If I’m working on a project of some kind I’ll usually keep a mental model of the current piece I’m working on in my head. There’s no monologue attached, it’s just a “working copy” of my current task.

Or for example if I’m reaching somewhere I can’t see to plug in a usb port or something I’m visualizing in my head what my hand is doing, but I’m not talking myself through it.

A friend of mine is albino and turned down a job offer in South Africa around that time. The thought of even being on the same continent with that going on made him profoundly uncomfortable.

“Conduit” is the word for those tubes for wires. Probably a shared etymology with “conductor” though.

Having the pipes in the mortar/bricks sounds like a maintenance nightmare.

Ah, if you need to build a .NET project that makes sense

Nuget is a the .NET package manager. Like npm or pip, but for .NET projects.

If you needed it for a published application that strikes me as fairly strange.

…no? Why would it be?

This is probably a diffusion model. LLMs don’t create images.

While desalination does need a lot of energy it’s dealing with the waste brine that’s the bigger problem when actually planning one. You can’t just dump it back into the ocean without killing a huge swathe of marine life.

I’m not sure why you’re taking a oppositional tone. To be clear I’m complaining, not trying to justify it.

Literally no one I work with likes Teams but we keep using it because that’s just what we do. Other options basically don’t exist simply by virtue of being either not Microsoft or not overwhelmingly the market leader.

I love the detail that she put “+ AI” on both sides of the equation so that it’s still technically correct regardless of what the AI stands for.

This was my very first thought as well. The first section of almost every Wikipedia article is already a summary.

Yep, recent blog post about it:
