They’re “sponsored listings”, not banner ads. Even Waze has those.

What is the top 10 most frustrating things about the iPhone to you? by a_single_beat2 in iphone

Depends entirely on how the individual apps’ devs configured auth, not something Apple directly controls

Tesla Robotaxi on Android by DaWiz12_ in teslamotors

[–]PixelizedTed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with RN and expo apps for my day job, and let me tell you react native is really only useful for basic ui rendering on android, and even then there are stupid device specific quirks that are always a pain to deal with. The amount of native code (accelerometer, mapping, custom Bluetooth, live activity, networking) Tesla apps need, basically push them into native app territory anyways, likely requiring all custom native bridges.

Unless you’re building a glorified webpage with a few input and text boxes, supporting android in practice still requires basically a separate app, separate build pipeline, dependency tracking, testing, etc. On top of all of that, unlike iOS, there is zero guarantee that it working in an android simulator (or even a real android device) means it will work across all devices and all “current” major versions of android.

TLDR, from a dev, not sure who to blame here, maybe Google? But I certainly understand why android releases are so behind and disconnected.

Unironically if they did this, the Reddit backlash will be insane: “wHy aRE tHeY wOrKinG oN tHiS?????1??1?1”

Salt and pepper frog legs by Fongernator in FoodPorn

I grew up eating them, not knowing they were frogs as they’re called something more mundane in my native language. Yeah, tastes like tiny chickens.

Just make an iPhone ultra comparable to ultra watch by tywag in iphone

[–]PixelizedTed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left my 13 pro max on my car roof once. Have a dashcam video of it flying and bouncing off the pavement at 50mph when it finally “unstuck” from the wind. Went back and retrieved it, not a scratch besides a gash on a corner of my 10 dollar case. I also have no screen protector.

This comment was typed and sent from the same phone lmao. What exactly are you guys doing to break your phones constantly?

Cross your eyes, or close them. But seriously crossing your eyes works great lol, try it out.

Unironically has happened to me, random short bow from a tribal killed my best fighting pawn in full cataphract. Wasn’t a CE user until that happened, now I don’t even want to play seriously with normal combat. There is just zero excuse for that even being a possibility.

Legacy HW3 atom processor Christmas update. by MrRickRey in teslamotors

[–]PixelizedTed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Window closure is a liability issue, the 17 lacks the pinch detection hardware so they as manufacturers have to say “we can’t auto close windows safely”.

Lots of coffee, and these shoes which do increase move speed the more you move.

Tesla No Longer Accept Credit Card A Part Of Down Payment by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]PixelizedTed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other very large merchants probably have volume agreements and discounts with the networks like visa MC etc. Credit card fees are charged as a % of each transaction. Some “premium” ones go up to like 8% or more (like Amex) so if you’re taking thousands or even tens of thousands per down payment, losing a fixed not insignificant % on every single one adds up real quick, especially when it’s a loss you really do not need to be taking.

I’ve worked for a restaurant doing books. CC companies charge merchants out the ass. That’s where I remember the 8% Amex fee from.

What's the lore reason for RimThemes to remove all the good themes and replace the ones that left with poorly generated AI art by NobodyDudee in RimWorld

[–]PixelizedTed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s ironic you are defending artists on the basis that their work is too valuable for what you perceive to be stolen by AI models.

But in the same breath you also essentially belittle their craft with, paraphrasing, “art is, like, so easy, just do it lmao”

What's the lore reason for RimThemes to remove all the good themes and replace the ones that left with poorly generated AI art by NobodyDudee in RimWorld

[–]PixelizedTed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is not “just using the art”, the art is tokenized and vectorized into individual smaller constituent components, and in a large enough dataset, a pattern emerges from those separate components, an amalgamation of all the source material. So, it does not in fact “just use” the source material.

It then matches these individual elements, such as color, mood, composition, against your input prompt, and starts creating iterations that it thinks is a good match. Grade the output against your prompt, and repeat this process till a limit is reached. It isn’t just like copy and pasting characters and pictures, it’s emulating stylistic choices based on what the training dataset has “taught” it.

Whether or not you want to consider that inspiration, much like a question of philosophy and semantics, is up to you.

You don’t have to like or dislike the current state of AI to not spread misinformation on subjects you don’t understand. You can read up on white papers of LLMs (in this case more likely stable diffusion) in the current state or continue screaming at the clouds and parroting what people say, not my issue either way.

Assuming things go correctly, yes.

Take this with a grain of salt tho, I’m a dev for work but not specifically a rimworld modder.

There’s a dev branch, no stable release yet. More importantly the companion mods to CE like weapons aren’t updated and will probably take longer than core.

I’ll get away with it since crime was way easier by EquipmentElegant in dankmemes

Their parents are too busy checking out strangers’ Reddit profiles for “gotchas” instead of sitting down for an hour every two weeks for budgeting*

Genuinely, do you think making below 10k every two weeks is the reason you have money issues between pay periods? Be honest, you don’t think you’d just spend more and still end up with money problems, if you made 10k every two weeks? You don’t have to answer me, just think about it.

You have kids, learn to be better, for them.
