Seemed expensive, $20-25 to go 1-1.5 miles, but I only needed two rides while there and used it both times so maybe that’s competitive or even a good deal compared to uber.

As someone that lives in the Bay Area - Waymo are always more expensive than Uber and Lyft. Lyft is usually a bit cheaper than Uber. Waymo’s R&D costs are very high so they’re likely trying to recover some of that money. People are still willing to pay, at least at the moment, because it’s still a somewhat unique experience.

You see them even in small suburban streets now, as they extended their service area quite a bit a few months ago. They’re available from San Francisco all the way to San Jose.

Password protect it and just let friends use it? Or have it just for yourself :D

I just posted a comment about this :D

https://romm.app/

https://romm.app/ - Self hosted game ROM manager that lets you play retro games directly in the browser (using RetroArch cores compiled to WebAssembly).

https://retroassembly.com/ is a similar project.

There’s also https://gamevau.lt/ which is like a self-hosted version of Steam, for DRM-free games (like from GOG).

Game servers? https://linuxgsm.com/. Have an Unreal Tournament 99… tournament with friends.

Once you factor in environmental cost, renewables have been cheaper for a long time.

Everything dropping in price has helped a lot too, of course. Like the article says, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries have all significantly dropped in price in the last decade.

For a beginner, I’d probably stick to Github initially, just because there’s so many guides and tutorials on how to use it, and their free plan is still pretty generous.

A lot of the knowledge is transferable though. If you do want to try something else, Codeberg is pretty good for open-source.

To just learn about Git, you don’t even need a host like Github or Codeberg. You can have a Git repo just on your computer, and still get a bunch of the benefits of source control - a full history of everything, separate branches and worktrees so you can have multiple incomplete changes and switch between them, etc.

Or Forgejo, which is a fork of Gitea and is what Codeberg uses. They explain their advantages over Gitea here: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

Yahoo isn’t really dead. It’s still in the top 20 sites, and Yahoo Mail still has 225 million users,

while charging advertisers more

The major online ad networks like Meta and Google don’t actually set a price on most of their ads. It’s an auction system. Advertisers enter a bid for how much they’re willing to pay for their ads. When serving ads, the system displays the ads that have the highest bid for the user’s demographic.

I felt like a grown up once I got my paperless-ngx setup up and running.

I have a Scansnap ix1600 scanner. Everything is automated once I insert a document and click the button to scan it.

1. Scanned documents are saved to an SMB share on my home server - it’s a built-in feature on the scanner.
2. Paperless-ngx is watching that folder and grabs the files.
3. Paperless-ai uses AI to add metadata to document (title, tags, correspondent).

For documents I need to keep a physical copy of, I give each document a consecutive ASN (archive serial number) using QR code stickers. When importing the document, paperless-ngx sees the barcode and attached the correct archive number to the document.

If I need to find the physical copy, I first find it in Paperless-ngx, look at the archive number, then look in a folder where the documents are arranged by archive number. Easy.

If they just care about one title, why don’t they buy just that title?

Just add a co-authored-by line to your commit message to make it look like the AI wrote it.

If the company is only measuring token usage and not actual output, it’s more like measuring a carpenter’s work based on how many hammers they buy.

It’s not FOSS, but MikroTik’s RouterOS is pretty good. Decent alternative to opnsense. It’s the exact same OS as on their routers and switches.

Lazy reporting. I reckon they gave ChatGPT the video URL and asked it to write an article about it. AIs like ChatGPT can scrape the subtitles from YouTube videos to generate a transcript, then reword it enough to create a draft of a news article.

Not defending them; I’m just stating what their app says to do since I’ve used it before whereas other people might not know.

That’s what I thought too. I’m not sure why it’s not the case.

Right. I don’t disagree with you.

Probably a design issue where they couldn’t hook into one of the car’s systems? I’m not sure.

Their current cars are just temporary anyways. Jaguar doesn’t even make them any more - they stopped producing the model that Waymo uses at the end of 2024.

They’re currently partnering with Zeekr to build a brand new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo_Ojai
