You are correct, the driving controls in AVP don’t use dwell, that is the wrong (and dangerous) approach. They use something more akin to hover activation. It’s the hardware I desi…

Hi Will, thanks for the representation. And an actual link!

Yes, daily, as a virtual screen for my Macbook using a BLE mouse and keyboard paired to the Macbook not the AVP. Then I supplement the Mac with the occasional AVP side app using fi…

Strongly disagree. As a dev who’s been in the business since the days of the first gui apps and OSes, UI can be very straightforward, but we have designed modern systems such that …

I took. my wife’s Model X out for a moderately complicated drive last night and was very pleasantly surprised by the new FSD behavior. Very significantly improved over the last few…

Having submitted a number of “product breaking bug reports” through official channels while using a paid support incident, can confirm Kafkaesque and a multi year support process. …

Spoken like someone who hasn’t put a match to gasoline. Having recently used gas to help start a wood slashings pile on fire, gasoline is very explosive and dangerous. Diesel will …

So Avalonia is built on top of Skia which is Google’s portable 2D rendering engine. So in theory it is as cross platform capable as Chrome/Electron without all the overhead that ht…

Probably a much simpler answer. The programmers who work on a washing machine are probably inexperienced low wage disempowered help. And there’s an innocent rx/tx loop for a home g…

This was my experience too. While it takes a good long while to get resolved, because my mistakes were accidental and I talked it through and followed the process, I was dealt with…

Thank you from someone begrudgingly paying thousands of Euros for IEC medical device standards pdfs!!!!

Windows NT was rock solid until Windows XP was released, but GPU performance was meh and Windows games generally didn't work well unless they were written to target NT. As I recall…

Nice to hear from you, great work! As a lifelong dev who started by learning BASICA and who's first pro job was in Visual Basic, I love your thesis. Nowadays I work with people liv…

Both of those are reasonably met on the Steam Deck today which is running Linux… Now the Steam Deck has an x64 CPU, but I’m running my heavyweight production Windows apps today on …

Pardon, what part of ‘a home with electrical service works just fine’ fails to fit your definition of ‘a large scale distribution of energy’. We have an electrical power grid, dude…

You may be surprised to learn that James’ brilliant humor and willingness to speak truth to power didn’t work out so well for him at Microsoft. He’s at Harvard now, which I think i…

I have three BEV chargers at my home now. i didnt need to change a thing to my “built in 2000 to code” home to do this, as it “came out of the box” w/ 200 amp service. My chevy bol…

While this is a common refrain, as driver on my 3rd EV “charging network needed” a bad, bad misunderstanding propagated by people who dont drive EVs. I charge my EV at home. I’ve c…

At this point I strongly distrust any 'breakthrough' article about research at MIT. After hundreds of these, I'm fairly convinced that any time a grad student pours liquid into a b…

And how do you clean these optics? Do they still provide 110% optical efficiency while dirty? Or damaged/scratched from frequent removal/reinstall for cleaning?
