By the title I was hoping for an off-the-rails LLM on Crank.

I thought someone trained a model on conspiracy theories.

Wildly addictive.. did Phillip Morris develop this?

Could you use this to get a version of lineage OS running on it?

You could, but if this unit is anything like it is in my CR-V, and its most likely the same, it's an ancient slow OMAP processor and 4GB of RAM (IIRC).

Edit: Looks like a Tegra 3 in this one, but my bet is meager RAM.


Yes, but it'll still be using their kernel so not all functionality from lineage might work.

meh.. 10T or your not even trying.

10T isn't cool... You know what's cool?

a gazillion bazillion dollars

I still prefer bootstrap

Any long terms Europe BYD owners? How is the build quality of their export vehicles?

They're now quite popular in the UK, along with Jaecoo, although not a huge number of them are pure-EV. Since I have been in the market for a car recently, I've been carspotting to see what's actually on the roads, and looking out for green-flash plates. VW and Tesla seem to be the carspotting winners so far. Autocar (and other reviewers) are mad about the Renault 5, which does look extremely good. I have an Abarth(!) 600E on lease-order, which I will review for HN eventually.

It is very funny that the Seagull had to be renamed Surf because Brits hate seagulls, though.


Canadians also hate seagulls, so I wonder if they will do the same (although I'm not sure the Seagull was intended to come to Canada).

Re: The dead comment wondering why when Canadians largely don't live near the sea.

Seagulls, despite the name, aren't restricted to the sea. We have tons of them far from the sea (as well as on our rather large coasts).


I own a Sealion 7 since August. Build quality is much better than European brands like BMW or Audi, it really feels premium. I'm loving this car.

What about the software side?

How about OEM replacement parts pricing and availability?

Looks like reinventing macromedia flash

What happens to all of these data centers once "Data centers in space" is a thing?

Having been building websites since the mid 90's, I laugh at terms like "HTML-first website"

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the Flash animation splash pages I was forced to sit through before being able to look up hours of operation.

As a teenager I remember going to a website for... a city, I think? And their 'sidebar' was a Java applet that did nothing but provide links for you to click with on-hover effects. The page used frames; the applet was in the left-side frame and the content was in the main frame on the right.

The applet took 30 seconds to load. Once it loaded, it showed five buttons to click to get to different sections of the site. When you clicked on one, instead of changing the content frame, it sent you to an entirely new frameset. This, of course, caused the sidebar to take another 30 seconds to load. Hitting the back button did the same thing.

Meanwhile, I knew someone whose friend made a little applet that he showed me; it was a Java applet that you could provide an image URL for and it would load the image and then, below the image, show a rippling effect as though you were looking at something on the shore of a rippling lake. This applet took less than a second to load and ran incredibly smoothly.

Java was a curse, not because Java was bad but because Java applets were written badly and used badly simply because they were neat.


Every language can say that bad developers write bad code with it while good developers write good code with it.

I would like to say the early interweb was just a learning experience, but today's interweb hasn't learned any of the lessons. It's just changed which language the lesson is being relearned


A lot of these tools, like React, are designed to embrace, extend extinguish the web. Why Microslop and Zuckerberg spend millions of dollars of dark PR claiming anyone who doesn't like React doesn't know what's going on is because it makes the web worse and less useful, which means you spend more time talking to Co-Pilot or bots on Facebook.

You forgot to mention that the Java applet doesn't have antialiasing, so the entire menu looks like crap.

I did some work for a company that spent nearly a grand on a Flash animation for their title page of a red bouncing ball that would bounce from right to left along the letters of the word "Yipee" (yeah totally not ripping off Yahoo! were they?) until it landed in the crook of the Y, where it would spread down the middle - the finished logo had the Y made out of blue, yellow, and red stripes.

Every single person I showed it to including my then-70-something mother said "that just looks like menstrual bleeding".

Every single person said that.

They still went with it. Conversion rate? Dunno, never got numbers high enough to test the script.


It's like chai tea.

  - shrimp scampi
  - Old Adage
  - chai tea
  - Naan Bread
  - Rio Grande River
  - Lake Tahoe
  - PIN/ VIN number
  - ATM machine
  - GPS system
  - Panini sandwich


The Sahara desert. It's not only repetitive but it repeats itself too as well.

These gems are brought to you by the department of redundancy department.


Naan bread

With au jus.

ATM Machine

The La Brea Tar Pits => The the tar tar pits

My favorite from Southern California.


OK, I have to admit, that one I didn't know.

It's only a matter of time until someone posts "Torpenhow Hill" -- which does not exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill


All from the Department of Redundancy Department.

explain?

"Chai" means "tea", so "Chai Tea" is "Tea Tea".

"ATM" means "Automatic Teller Machine", so "ATM Machine" is "Automatic Teller Machine Machine".

Both are mentioned in the animated movie "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse".


Actually, in English, Chai does not mean tea, it means a specific flavor of tea. If you don't believe me, try ordering some Earl Grey Chai, see what happens.

Sure, but "chai tea" is still redundant. I have never used that term and ordered chai in many places without confusion.

it's redundant at a place that serves chai, but it isn't redundant at a place that does not serve chai, because you're skipping the "what is chai" question from whoever you're querying.

It's redundant in the same way Earl Grey tea is redundant, though.


If your server is Indian, they'll likely react positively, and get you what you want.

PIN number

Town names too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montebello_della_Battaglia

Not in the Wikipedia page (but check the Italian version): it started as "Mons Belli" (Mount of the Battle) because of a battle fought by the Romans a few years before the Hannibal campaign. Then the original meaning was lost and it gained another "of battle" in the 1800s. Mount of the Battle of the Battle. Hopefully there won't be another one to add.


Lake Tahoe (Lake Big Lake). River Avon (River River). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_nam...

Except places are now offering Chai Latte Coffee so if you don't specifically order Chai Tea Latte, you could get some thing totally different than expected. I learned this the hard way.

> Chai, a word for tea in numerous languages

Reminds me of “pre-jit”

ie "aot"?

I thought this article was missing a (1999) in the title.

Same, and it has certainly made me realize that I am now officially entering my "old man yelling at cloud" phase of my life, and I'm "only" 38!

Is this similar to what cygwin was for windows? Could this be an alternative to homebrew?
