parker-3461··on Self-Driving bus in Sweden crashes with tram on first day of passenger service
> May 25 (Reuters) - A self-driving bus made by Turkey's Karsan (KARSN.IS), opens new tab was struck from behind by a tram in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Monday, just an hour after it began carrying paying passengers, the public transport organiser said.

I believe it is this one, I was able to find this via google search.

I was curious about this as well. Hypothetically, if they are really trying to extract insight, they could be:

- Industrial trend pattern: even if only people accidentally leave the Cloud Feature on initially, there could be some that slip through. It could be product categories way before the public knows about it.

- Defence and aerospace: obviously less likely, but if people use Strava in odd locations, and people share classified defence info on War Thunder, then it wouldn’t surprise me if someone slipped something through.

It wouldn’t surprise me if such automated analysis is setup somewhere in China.

parker-3461··on Project Glasswing: An Initial Update
Makes me wonder if Anthropic is really having issues with allocating compute (see recent deals with xAI and SpaceX). From available benchmarks, it seems like similar results should be possible with GPT 5.5 Pro or Opus 4.7 (with specific cybersecurity trained models).

I just checked that I could see it in the Settings App search bar, but it does not show up under the actual App Store settings page, might be an implementation bug related to user region.

Edit 1: this was on iPadOS 26.3.1 (a) (23D771330a)

> The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world’s greatest challenges.

Sorry, may I get more information on why this is considered Chinese army propaganda?

My understanding is that CSIS (https://www.csis.org/about) is an US based organisation that provides analysis on topics which include Chinese organisations/military.

If more people are able to step back and think about the potential growth for the next 5-10 years, then I think the discussion would be very different.

I am grateful to be able to witness all these amazing progress play out, but am also concerned about the wide ranging implications.

parker-3461··on 2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop
This has been my experience too, with installing common (Ubuntu, Fedora, and other popular ones) distros.

The only exception is when we got a really new batch of Lenovo P1 laptops for work, and the patches likely were not fully merged yet. So as long as you’re not getting the first batch it is generally pretty good.

So if I understand this correctly (solely from reading the xkcd), then the person might actually be okay?

Thanks for mentioning this here, I learnt a lot more about Gordon from the video there, and I think we all have something to thank Gordon for - both directly and indirectly.

That is pretty insane, I didn’t expect that portal would run that well!

But I’m uncertain how polished the experience would be.

parker-3461··on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
Given that they had to upgrade to a new camera sensor to get faster readout speed, I’m wondering if they actually changed to a better sensor with improved pixel size and light sensitivity.

I have read the official press release but it seems like there is no mentions of this.

Might need to wait for the ifixit tear down in ~10 days.

Edit 1: there has been some discussions that eventually the Sony IMX903 would be used, but not sure when that will actually eventuate.

parker-3461··on When ChatGPT summarises, it does nothing of the kind
I would only consider this as “in depth” if and only if the author provided clearer methodology on the exact model used for this write up.

It is still unclear to me whether this is a deficiency in all ChatGPT models or this is just one of the many.

Thanks for linking these, I was not very familiar of these works/discussions taking place in the past, but these really helped establish the context. Very grateful that these videos are readily available.

The speech given to the Atlas team was really touching, I actually teared up a bit when reading through it.

@asanwal thank you for sharing this.

Same. Really looking forward to this and also the subsequent launches

Many good alternative listed already.

But I have quite liked FileLight which is cross platform https://apps.kde.org/filelight/

Likely not as fast as WizTree though.

Sorry I feel like you really need to make the FAQ and legal terms a lot clearer.

Otherwise I think a lot of people would be easily deterred by the current/similar statements.

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to answer questions though.

So what information “can” be shared with law enforcement agencies?

And which jurisdiction is this service governed in?

I think there is just many ambiguities which do not seem clear to me at all.

Thanks for picking this up, I thought about trying it out and am very glad that you did go through it.

I don’t think I would touch it anymore.

parker-3461··on Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks
I’m working with Linux mainly these days, and I think the “pain” for me usually is just getting the initial config right, and learning to live with the quirks on the specific platform.

Of course nothing is truly perfect, but I would say that after the initial learning curve, I had really pleasant and productive time with yabai.

parker-3461··on Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks
I’m surprised there isn’t much discussion on the amazing ecosystem of tiling window managers in this whole thread.

When I was still using macOS one to two years ago, I was using yabai [1] and it was perfect

That is fascinating, I have found myself learning more about these as I dive through the background works on Ace Combat contents.

While by no means a proper simulator, it certainly makes a fun arcade and sci-fi shooter experience.

parker-3461··on EV Charging from Home Solar Only
Recently had my solar installation completed and came across this app service recently.

Was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward it was to setup the ChargeHQ, which allowed me to use all my excess solar production to charge my EV.

Note: the available features depend on the solar inverter, smart meter and the EV you have.
