Yes you can buy something like this prebuilt. Lenovo workstations for example. Quite expensive new, but there are many second hands on eBay


Non ping-ponging lane following assist is already available in many cars including KIA and Hyundai models. They're very conservative and disengage very easily. I think it's by design to minimise their legal accountability


Not just legal accountability, but actual safety. They are designed so that they do not give the user a false impression of the extent of their capabilities.


I've been incredibly surprised to see that lane assist in my Kia is significantly better than that of most other (legacy non-hi-tech, think nicer hondas and lexus ICE/hybrid) cars I get a chance to drive.

I unfortunately don't have radar cruise control on my Kia, though, which would make highway driving even in traffic completely effortless, and this seems to be standard on themore expensive cars. Maybe it's for the better, though, because it does force me to be much more attentive on the road.


I am addicted to radar cruise + lane assist in my Kia. I use it all the time in traffic.


Hyundai actually has two systems, LKA and LFA. LKA just tries to bounce the car back when it detects lane edges, LFA actively keeps the car in the middle of a lane.

All Hyundai models in Europe have LKA, some (more expensive) also have LFS.


Also Honda. In my Accord 2018 it lane kept but didn’t even play a sound when it lost tracking.


DisplayLink (that allows to add more external displays than what Apple allows) relies on the screen recording feature. I think it creates virtual displays, captures and pipe them to the connected monitors.

It's going to be very annoying if I have to grant it permission on a weekly basis


Clicking a button once per week shouldn't be a huge chore.

You can even automate it with something like Karabiner or Keyboard Maestro :D


There's a bit of preaching at the end. What a turn off


It is fairly difficult to be perfectly objective about everything we discuss. We all bring our own bias and experiences to just about everything we do and say.

In Dustin’s case, he is being open about his background and perspective. Isn’t that more commendable than trying to feign objectivity?

Clearly you can agree or disagree but being annoyed at his transparency seems to neglect consideration for the alternative.


this is not news. stocks go up and down. Today it's up by almost 6%. sometimes it rains sometimes the sun shines


Will it be able to run Linux?


The answer is "probably yes" unless they've done a ton of work to lock it down, which I wouldn't be surprised was also true.



ChatGPT has this explanation:

Cathie Wood's prominence and the substantial funds under her management, primarily through Ark Invest, stem from a combination of factors, despite criticism from some quarters, such as that from Patrick Boyle. Here are the key reasons:

1. *Innovative Investment Focus*: Wood has carved out a niche by focusing on disruptive technologies and innovative companies. Her investment strategy is centered around sectors such as genomics, autonomous vehicles, and blockchain technology, areas that have the potential for high growth. This forward-looking approach has attracted investors interested in these emerging sectors.

2. *Track Record of High Returns (at times)*: Despite the volatile nature of her funds and the criticism regarding performance, especially during downturns, there have been periods where Ark Invest's funds have outperformed traditional benchmarks significantly. These instances of high returns, particularly in 2020, helped build her reputation and attract substantial capital from investors looking to capitalize on these growth areas.

3. *Media Presence and Marketing*: Wood has effectively used media and her presence on social media platforms to share her investment philosophy and insights, contributing to her and Ark Invest's visibility. This accessibility and transparency have appealed to both retail and institutional investors.

4. *Retail Investor Support*: A significant portion of Ark Invest's funds comes from individual, retail investors who are drawn to Wood's vision of investing in disruptive innovation. Her ability to communicate complex technological trends in an accessible manner has garnered a broad base of support, particularly among investors looking for alternatives to traditional investment avenues.

5. *Institutional Adoption*: Despite skepticism from some quarters, Ark Invest has also seen adoption from institutional investors. These entities may be drawn to the diversification and growth potential offered by Ark's focus on innovation, despite the inherent risks and volatility.

Criticism from figures like Patrick Boyle often focuses on the high-risk nature of Wood's investment strategy, the potential for significant volatility, and periods of underperformance. However, the appeal of Wood's approach lies in her focus on long-term growth driven by technological innovation, which resonates with a segment of investors willing to tolerate higher risk for the potential of substantial rewards. This has enabled her to manage a considerable amount of money, despite the controversies surrounding her investment performance.


Thanks. #3 and especially #4 make a lot of sense. Going after the same demographic as Trump. It's large, and enough of them have money.

#5 is shocking.

Dumb money.


The perfect camera autofocus when object distance changed quickly, especially since it's "macro" distance at times. No real camera auto focus is that good.

Also, some things are too perfect/lacking imperfections. The lamp shade texture for instance is too even & perfect


This is roughly the same as teaching Esperanto to child as his / her first language.


I am surprised that no one mentioned ITA Matrix, the search engine behind Google flights.

https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search

The results will show the raw codes, eg. ticket class, fare construction & other airline codes.

Use the result you like to book with an agent, or https://bookwithmatrix.com


What's the advantage of this? Whenever I tried, the UX seems so much worse than any other service. If it's the same data anyway, why not consume it from an easier to use service?


For most, none.

For power users, you can force specific fare classes/connections/combinations etc. regular sites won't. You can create some zany things for example, getting United to sell you an American connection. Ticketing it may require an actual travel agent though.
