Polygons do have value in some workflows, if used with the appropriate caveats.
And in no instances have I ever run across use cases where these are worth paying any substantial money for. If USPS is going to jump into the fray here, really bad look (and probably net negative revenue for them) to offer as a paid product.
I don't have a formal benchmark, but daily work (coding mostly, plus some complex architecture design and review) has had consistent outputs today for me. No noticeable nerf from my perspective. I definitely took notice in some past instances, but if they nerfed Opus 5.5, then I guess it was just so good that I was nowhere near its limits.
Yep, it will basically mean the death of Facebook. I don’t use it much, but the groups I’m in are for sharing local events (usually link to library page, map for meetup location, etc). Without links, those groups go away.
Some, sure. The one person I know who reserved this owned the original roadster, believed in Tesla (quite wealthy by putting money where his mouth was in stock), and genuinely trying to advance the EV industry. He was so annoyed at this, and generally the last half decade of Tesla.
Tracks exist and people can drive there, even if not common. I’m not aware of any real world scenarios you could jump a car like this, except I guess if you have the money to hire a stunt crew on your own massive property. That’s still very different than having an unreasonably fast car you can bring to a track. The closest I can think of are the prototype flying cars… also not practical, but generally intend to be able to take off and land and perform some function. A driving bomb that can perform controlled stunts is in a different class.
One difference being that those in some way relate to performance of a vehicle and engineering ability to achieve it in a package which can be used for its intended purpose. This is just a vehicle with massive tanks strapped in and and obviously non production (not even remotely on path to production) package to make it achieve what has been proven since the 1970s as feasible for stunts.
Maybe, but why? Feels like a slap in the face to people who have been waiting ten years for the car. Gimmicky demos just scream waste of money and loss of focus on what matters.
That confused me as well. I interpreted as judges not having (much) precedent and potentially unable/unwilling to interpret along lines of the license intent. But that’s what courts in this process are there for IMO. If a well written license and a good case, then you need to start somewhere to set precedent.
Awesome project! Would definitely love to see more overlap with Allmaps. It’s pretty trivial to utilize centralized gcps for both server and client applications and maintain single sources of truth. I’ve been meaning to dive a bit deeper on an old project anyway, good excuse.
Nah, bad idea. The timeframe of an active connection really varies by age and type. Some important connections are once-every-few-years communications. A year, or two years, etc is too arbitrary.
The LLM isn’t contributing garbage, the user is by (likely) not testing/verifying it meets all requirements. I haven’t yet used an LLM which didn’t require some handholding to get to a good code contribution on projects with any complexity.
It’s been a while since I georeferenced in qgis, but there used to be some great plugins. Looks like some of those are gone now, and the core module has improved a lot. This newer plugin looks promising, though: https://github.com/cxcandid/GeorefExtension
Quick benchmark of pmtiles directly in maplibre vs served tiles, both via Bunnycdn and 5 areas sampled using same style.
Total impact on page end to end load time: 39ms longer with cached range requests from pmtiles than cached tiles.
Individual requests are comparable in the 20-35ms range, so the slight extra time seems to be from the additional round trip for range headers (makes sense).
Interesting, I should benchmark this. I have only used Bunnycdn so far and latency seemed similar to most tile providers like Maptiler and others (but a very limited test). This was using the full planet pmtiles file.
Bunnycdn also makes it easy to prevent downloading the entire file, either in case you care about anyone using it or just want to prevent surprise downloads for those exploring network tab.
Curious how this would have compared to a static pmtiles file being read directly by maplibre. I’ve had good luck with virtually equal latency to served tiles when consuming pmtiles via range requests on Bunnycdn.
As a 12 mini user daily since it came out in 2020, I've only just now started to hit any noticeable battery dip (~85% after almost 5 years usage). It's still pretty solid on a daily basis. On very rare occasions, the smaller battery has required charging before evening due to excessive photos taken and/or nav without a plug.
FWIW, I will probably replace the battery by end of year, or next, and keep it going as long as I can... I refuse the massive "normal" phone size.
I just want to know what the insurance looks like behind this, lol. An agent mistakenly places an order for 500k instead of 500 stickers at some premium pricing tier above intended one. Sorry, read the fine print, and you're using at your own risk?
Have you driven a Rivian? Their range estimation and deep integration into the nav experience is critical. CarPlay, etc, are worthless for an EV. This implementation deeply integrates Google APIs in the software Rivian has created, thus adding real value over the app from your phone.
No, not really. Peak Blackberry was both tiny compared to iPhone usage today and in a very different context, with very little of the economy or daily lives invested directly into a rich ecosystem dependent on the phones.
Oh definitely no force behind it, but just annoying to see. These kinds of issues don't exactly block usage, but can plant a lot of confusion or hesitation for potential users.
I wish agencies proactively embraced "please go use this awesome stuff" mentality vs gatekeeping by default.
