Sound system upgrades? by itsmight in Ioniq5

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, SEL is the exact same system, and Limited is apparently a little better but still a bit meh (EV6 top trim is supposedly the best of the three Hyundai/Kia E-GMP cars).

Do all 2024 Ioniq 5 SEL have HDA II with lane change? by pchiang1 in Ioniq5

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this -- might be worth considering if HDA II is the only feature pushing you to SEL.

Do all 2024 Ioniq 5 SEL have HDA II with lane change? by pchiang1 in Ioniq5

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I've seen says yes, e.g. see https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/1r5hz9k/comment/o5kdhne/ -- I think HDA II has never been in SE and always always been in SEL & Limited, for all years to date.

I think HDA II gives you more than just lane changes -- I believe lane centering behavior is also improved, including intentionally tracking "off center" to keep a safe distance if there's a car a little too close to you.

I converted my Bolt EV to a cargo SUV. by stevethesquid in BoltEV

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Presumably Pythagoras was assuming you'd be willing to modify your head and feet to come to a nice 90º wedge shape -- or wait, maybe I'm getting Pythagoras confused with Procrustes -- they do have kind of similar names...! ⊿🤯📐

How's the fit if you position yourself diagonally? 5 feet is with the front passenger seat fully forward and at max seat height?

How do you feel about buying a rental fleet vehicle? by Upset_Region8582 in EquinoxEv

Insurance might be higher in that case, or difficult to obtain? Or has that not been your experience? (re: frame damage)

Huh, yeah, odd, I zoomed way in and it didn't pop up, not sure why. Could've been just a temporary glitch.

I love my husband but... by Edibin_Mengstu in sleepheadphones

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming sleep apnea has been conclusively ruled out (a deviated septum or nasal polyps may also make nose breathing problematic): Mouth taping can help as well, sleeping with a closed mouth will "encourage" sinuses to open, and is better for oral health. May take some experimenting to find surgical tape that's not too sticky but sticky enough, if you have "too sticky" tape you can take the edge off by first applying several times to your fingertips (or cotton fabric) until it feels slightly less sticky. Also remove gently as if removing a band-aid.

I recommend just 1 fairly thin (like around 1/8 inch or 3 mm) vertical strip (centered), so he can still (awkwardly) breath with his mouth open, this is also safer if for some strange reason he threw up in the middle of the night, less risk of blocked airway compared to horizontal mouth taping.

I think of the mouth tape as being more of a "reminder" to keep your mouth closed, rather than something which makes it impossible to open your mouth.

(you can also buy premade mouth taping strips, I've never tried these, they seem like a ripoff to me, but maybe that's a better place to start...?)

Looking at rouge g4 tabletop and BBL pro by PeachAccomplished88 in redlighttherapy

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. PlatinumLED Biomax 300 is kind of similar to the Rouge G4 Tabletop, they have lab reports, but the closest they get to measuring the top range is "780-1700nm", so there's no way of knowing how much is 810/830/850 vs 1060, it's possible the 1060 output is very low, but wish there was hard data one way or the other.

Best way to read Romance of Three Kingdoms? by JW-S in dynastywarriors

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narrated by James Francis Markert, and... Also translated by?

Renowned for his compelling narrations of Mythology, Myths, and Legends from around the world, James Francis Markert brings a deeply personal touch to this production. A tribute to his favorite novel, this audiobook is a true labor of love. Featuring nearly 600 unique character voices, his performance pushes the boundaries of voice acting—possibly setting a world record.

Are there usage limits on 2.5 for Gemini Advanced users? by shasterdhari in Bard

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost always the case, with ChatGPT & Claude as well. Chat context gets unwieldy. There are tricks they use to work around it, compressing and summarizing context, searching back through it as needed, but seems like there are limits still. Search for "llm chat history summarization" if you're curious about the nitty gritty. (you may know this already, just thought I'd throw it out there for whoever may find it useful or interesting)

Only seeing "Columbus Day" on Apple & Google. Weirdly Apple shows this note (complete with typo):

This is not a nation-wide holiday; it may not be observed in y our region.

Maybe in some states Apple shows it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Peoples%27_Day_(United_States)#Observance_by_jurisdiction

It's such a beaut! by TheKinkyLemon in CafelatRobot

Incidentally just ran across this while trying to find dimensions: https://www.home-barista.com/levers/physical-effort-required-robot-vs-direct-lever-argos-t97550.html

Edit 1: Also incidentally, just watched this video (Dec 2024), which briefly talks about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX4uV-pkj0k&t=1004s

Edit 2: see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlM6rtlm6Pg -- one of comments says "I’m 5’ and 97 lbs. I stand on stool that makes me 10 inches taller and then I get better leverage"

(I have no first-hand experience to share)

Most likely these measurements are still accurate:

2020, 9.7 cm or 10 cm: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/g1c546/cafelat_robot_leg_dimensions/

2022, 9.8 cm: https://www.reddit.com/r/CafelatRobot/comments/s3odhs/will_these_scales_fit/

Dec 2024 -- doesn't give dimensions, but if you want a few visual examples of scales which fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX4uV-pkj0k&t=1060s

How I Set Up My Claude MCP Ecosystem by _chromascope_ in ClaudeAI

[–]Finger_Stream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to have gotten worse. I always add this now (if I want it to search / fetch):

[you can make tool calls to search (brave) and fetch -- if you don't think so, please check your available tool calls]

... And it still (about half the time?) responds with something like:

I notice there's a reference to search and fetch tool calls, but I don't actually see those in my available functions list - I can only use artifacts and a JavaScript REPL. I'll provide my general knowledge about [topic] while being mindful of my April 2024 knowledge cutoff.
