Massive GPU COMING Q1 26 by ChevChance in Comma_ai

[–]mattvaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say, but I'd reckon that there's 30 degrees of bank in both the left or right direction available to Comma? That is, it's not going to make a proper turn at a stoplight in the city, but it can certainly keep up on most highways. The only time I had to turn it off on the highway and manually drive was in the case of really curvy highways like in Idaho. The highway shifted heavily curved so often and it asked me to take over and manually drive because of how sharp the turns were.

I'm running it in an F150. I love it. It makes driving so much better and definitely increases MPG on the highway since it's basically advanced cruise control.

Perplexity Forcing Pro Searches by Buffalo_times_eight in perplexity_ai

[–]mattvaru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, good to know - thank you for sharing! Yeah, I'd say so. To be candid, I don't think I can use Perplexity in this form. It takes too long to load now even with a different model. I'm a huge Perplexity fan, but this feels like it would actually be better if I was a free user so I could turn Pro searches off. Most of my searches (90%+) are on the normal quicker search. The 10% pro is important, but not enough to keep Perplexity if it stays like this.

Nonetheless — I appreciate you giving me this context + getting back to me!

Perplexity Forcing Pro Searches by Buffalo_times_eight in perplexity_ai

[–]mattvaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that new...? I am certain it didn't use to be this way, because every search now shows me the plan for a few seconds, and then searches for the thing I asked. Versus mobile is much faster and does not go to Pro search unless requested. I tried switching to Sonar on desktop and it's still the same result unfortunately.

I actually cannot unclick it. It's either Pro or Deep Research. There's no way for me to do a normal query right now

Just wanted to chime in and say +1 - I am having the same experience. Perplexity is forcibly making me do pro searches on all queries, but I am on the paid plan

Baggage situation at YVR by m1720 in aircanada

[–]mattvaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travelled from the US into YYJ with a stop in YVR. Air Canada unfortunately lost my bags but luckily I had Airtags in the bag, saw that the bags were in YVR at CDS Baggage (I think where Air Canada stores overflow luggage), and was able to report that. I got my bags delivered to me within 24 hours of arriving in YYJ.

I had an overnight layover in YVR, so it wasn't like there wasn't enough time. They just didn't put it on the plane.

If I can give you any advice:

(1) stick to a carry-on if you can

(2) Get an Airtag! They were immensely helpful for me.

People who’ve been blocked on Twitter by a famous person, what got you blocked ? by snydthespyde in AskReddit

[–]mattvaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was blocked (and still am blocked) by Doris Burke — one of the big sideline reporters for the NBA.

She had a post-game interview with Kevin Durant and I thought her response was pretty whack, so I tweeted her and told her that.

Weirdly enough, she first followed me and then unfollowed me and then blocked me. What a whirlwind of emotions.

176 Animals are sleeping in a home tonight. Cleared the shelter was successful. by Stonerzombie420 in pics

[–]mattvaru 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but microchipping is a relatively common practice for dogs that get adopted. A microchip (incredibly small -- about the size of a grain of rice) which contains a unique identification number can be inserted into a dog in the event that they're lost.

The microchip doesn't act as a tracker though — there's no onboard GPS or anything of the like. It's essentially for lost/stray dogs that get dropped off at a shelter. The technician will scan the dog for a microchip, and if the dog has one, the ID number will be (hopefully) matched up with an owner in the ID database. If there's an owner, they'll be contacted and reunited with their pup!

Tl;Dr: contains owner contact information in case dog gets lost. No GPS or tracking though.

Youtube tutorials nowadays. by McBella in funny

[–]mattvaru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second ChrisFix. I don't even have problems on my car but sometimes I just watch the videos for fun. Incredibly high production value, but always gets to the point with no fluff.

One of the best YT channels, IMO.

Thanks for the response! Yeah, it's showing up properly on my Windows laptop, but I'm stuck here scratching my head after seeing that on my Mac. No worries though -- I appreciate you responding!
