I feel like this could be a good system for rural areas etc. (and "demand responsive transport" is already a thing for those cases), but in populated areas it's not going to help much over fixed routes which are much simpler to use and don't require pre-booking your journey

Fixed routes provide certainty, if on some days your bus randomly doesn't come because there weren't enough other people near you who wanted to go that way then you can't rely on it and will need to have access to another mode of transport such as a car, which defeats the point

From what I understand if you take certain precautions like not doing piracy, installing anything to the homescreen or cheating in multiplayer games you can use homebrew online without being banned, I've been used it occasionally and not been banned at least

My dog did this too for a while, he saw a cat behind a neighbor's hedge and made a hole in it and then he would poke his head through the hole every time

For me I only use them to do things (turn light on and off, play background noise, set alarm, check time) when I'm in bed and don't want to open my eyes and use my phone

I've also seen them described as ICE cars (internal combustion engine)

I think they mean save money on hardware based on the previous part of the sentence

I think when people say non-deterministic what they mean is closer to chaotic, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory as in very small changes in conditions can produce completely different output making predictions difficult

I guess it depends on the culture but I would think it's a good thing to show interest and passion for this stuff by talking about things you do in your free time like setting up Minecraft servers, whoever you're talking to will probably have similar things like that

Being available to the public if they bought the game doesn't mean it's in the public domain and you're allowed to upload a copy of it (or a derivative work) onto GitHub, though

(I like these projects but I really don't think they could defend themselves legally if you company went after them)

My approach is generally just to put the destination into Google Maps and select public transport, it works on the same data source as this and has live tracking

I struggled to understand the article, it doesn't properly explain what the exploit is in a way I could immediately understand, after staring at it for a bit and reading comments here I think it's a hardware register that's exposed to user software that shouldn't be but I really didn't understand that at first glance ("Poke the DRAM controller" made me think a hardware exploit) and I'm still not sure if I'm right about that (if it is, just start by explaining that instead of all the unnecessary filler and diagrams and animations of the Mona Lisa being scrambled and talk of bath salts which I still don't understand the relevance of)

This is still significantly more clunky than f-strings, especially when you're writing them a lot for debugging purposes

Generally, people have to make an active decision to spread false information, or be misinformed themselves in the first place, and that's not actually particularly common, whereas for LLMs it's just the default due to how they work and it's difficult to filter out due to how they present everything with such confidence and authority
