I'm training a latent diffusion model on weather radar data to predict short-term storm behavior. Decent results so far on downscaled data at +30min, training a full-res model at +1h and +2h horizons now. Excited to see how it does!
I can confirm that Volkswagen is borderline incompetent when it comes to software - a few months back, my 2020 Audi A4 (and those of tens to hundreds of others) all started having the same issue, where the infotainment will randomly reboot every 5-30 minutes (taking out nav, the backup camera, and the parking sensors with it, and requiring a PIN to get back into the system).
Despite the problem having the hallmarks of a backend issue (many cars with the same software running into the same issue on the same week), corporate is still insisting that it's a hardware issue and trying to sell us on $5k hardware replacements. I love the car for its build quality, but almost kind of wish I'd gotten a Tesla given how bad VW is at software.
The biggest shock for me moving from Android Auto to Carplay was the complete lack of multi touch support in Apple's offering. Worked perfectly on Android.
The only way I was able to get Nextdoor out of my inbox was by blocking their domain in gmail - it's absurd how much spam they're capable of sending without getting blacklisted.
I've managed to avoid the Windows 11 "upgrade" so far by disabling my motherboard's TPM in its BIOS menu. Not sure what I'll do in 2025 when Windows 10 hits EOL.
100%. I think there's some viewport configuration I can include to make it look better on mobile, I should really play around with it and get it working..
I'll echo Lammy here - as long as you know the tides and don't get too close to any wildlife, it's a fairly easy hike. Budget more time than you think you'll need, I was surprised by how slow it was walking down the sand. Windy point is aptly named, so be careful of things flying away.
It's a multi-day backpacking trip, but you can hike further past the lighthouse and down the Lost Coast if you get a permit. They're sold out months in advance, though.
I haven't heard of those! Sounds like an adventure for next time I'm up there. It says that the marker is on Mattole Rd in Petrolia, so there's a good chance the well-heads are on private land.
Definitely worth being wary of private land out there, I'm sure a lot of people in that area don't take too kindly to visitors. Somebody flew a drone over the compound you're talking about, it was up on YouTube for a while. Can't seem to find it now.
I was wondering if this was about Petrolia based on the title! Anyone into camping should check out the Mattole Campground around that area. It's at the head of the lost coast trail, but there's no permit requirement and it's only a few dollars a night. There's a nice hike down to an abandoned lighthouse with some elephant seals nearby.
It's not exactly what you're describing, but The Economist does something fairly similar. They publish a weekly print edition, and articles on their site are posted at a much slower pace than other sites.
This thread is making me remember how incompetent my old school district used to be with technology. Once upon a time, a friend of mine got detention for opening a command line and running `tree`. The teacher said that he was hacking the computer.
