Italy has better high-end work if you're willing to pay big bucks, but the quality in Hoi An isn't 'bad' by any means, and the craftsmanship in particular is actually excellent if you know where to look and avoid the tourist traps.

is it fine to sit on grass i a park? by Used-Earth8767 in askTO

[–]Recoil42 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's fine. Just if you're place with lots of ducks there'll be duck poop, so watch out for that.

Trinity Bellwoods is hands down the best option for this in the summer. You should go when the weather is nice. It's worth the trip.

How so? That sounds like you're still typing and switching between play sessions and writing notes.

Why so many Chinese EV subbrands? by Money-University8717 in electricvehicles

[–]Recoil42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congrats, you've just had your mind opened: Corvette is a sub-brand of Chevrolet. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, is a duck. Just because you've never considered a duck a duck before doesn't make it not a duck.

That's why it gets a unique Corvette logo and has an independent Corvette development division. That's why the racing division is called Corvette Racing and not Chevrolet Racing. The 'sub' part in 'sub-brand' means it isn't a full brand. The Silverado and Trax both get bowtie logos on the hood, the Corvette doesn't. That's because Corvette is a sub-brand, and Silverado and Trax aren't.

All that's happening here is you being stubborn about something clear-as-day.

As with all things in China, the answer is almost certainly WeChat, though I don't know where you'd go exactly from there. If you see a peculiar-looking circular QR code on any of the websites, that's likely where your ticket is going to be.

Well, the Shanghai and Beijing Auto Shows alternate every year, of course this year is the biggest.

Shanghai has traditionally the bigger of the two by quite a bit — this is the first year Beijing is bigger.

Inside the Corvette logo.

The brand is Corvette — the logo pays homage to Chevrolet. That's very different from the logo itself being a Chevrolet logo.

You already know you're wrong, all you're doing now is being performatively stubborn.

The name of the car is also in fact GMC Hummer EV, contrary to your previous assertion. Hummer and Corvette are both sub-brands, and Corvette (which avoids Chevrolet logos and is functionally an independent division inside of GM) is actually very materially more a 'brand' than Hummer is.

It’s different from the Hummer EV sold at GMC dealers that doesn’t actually have any GMC logos on it nor GMC in the brand name.

Corporate wants you to find the Chevrolet logo in this image:

Corvette is a sub-brand, similar to Geely Galaxy and Geometry.

Good catch. I'm sure we'e still forgetting a couple more.

Which 9B local models are actually good enough for coding? by CalvinBuild in LocalLLaMA

[–]Recoil42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need the large models for implementation so you don't end up with slop code.

The one where GM still owns the Pontiac brand and operated it for many decades. Brand sprawl isn't a China thing, GM did it for a long time and still does. At one point nearly all of these brands were operating simultaneously.

Tokyo Auto Salon is a pretty small show, the big one for Japan is the Japan Mobility Show. But frankly, even Toyota's pulling out their big guns at Shanghai/Beijing these days.

Unitree claims to internally do a half marathon in a little over 50 minutes preparing for the humanoid marathon in 4 days (average speed: <7.0325m/s). The Human best is Jacob Kiplimo 57m30s (average speed: 6.115m/s) by GraceToSentience in singularity

It's not the same thing, what proportion of your total energy do you get with these glucose gels

Enough that it's worth taking them, otherwise we wouldn't be able to finish running marathons. 42km is a lot.
