- tentacleunoIt always seems a shame when naturally clever people are assumed to have autism, or when their cleverness is attributed to it. Why can't someone just be intelligent without labels?
- To be pedantic, assuming the fuel is used in a combustion engine, there will always be a percentage of the fuel wasted as heat energy. This depends on the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine and various other conditions, of course.

Says who? There are plenty of choices: vanilla, Lit, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Riot, etc. Some of the alternatives are very good.
- I'm not sure if this still holds true, but I recall a time when you had to use them to create error boundaries. Of course, plenty of third-party hooks were made to bridge the gap.
- Has that ever been proved? All sources I can find are riddled in ambiguity. It's "one of two scenarios". I suppose we'll never really know for certain.
- Obligatory mention: ImagePipe[0]. It lets you compress pictures and edit them. You can share images to ImagePipe and it automatically shows a dialog to share compressed versions with another app (hence the "Pipe" -- it's a pipeline!)

- Perhaps that's an overly cynical take? It doesn't read like AI slop to me, more like an overview of the video. As someone who finds it hard to get solid answers online anymore, I found this article genuinely informative (though, of course, the video provides the most value.)
- This page doesn't explain what FFglitch does, or how it's different to ffmpeg. For instance, what's Glitch? I'm guessing it's an architecture, but the post doesn't explain what it is or contextualize the term "architecture."
- Doesn't a message written by an AI carry significantly less weight, though? I'd much rather read someone written by an actual human (this applies to most things, really), and would hold it in much higher regard.

- I personally think most services should have this. Otherwise, if you ever go through your block list, you're left wondering why you blocked who you did. The only other option is to use Notepad to keep track, but who really wants to do that?
- Isn't anti-lag (the type that invokes combustion in the exhaust, anyway) terrible for turbochargers, long-term?
- I don't miss that either (in fact, I know the ECU can do a much better job), but I do enjoy engaging with the car, and thus drive a manual transmission. I'm fairly confident I can get better efficiency and control as opposed to the same transmission with a computer changing gears for me.
From what I've heard, it's somewhat of a rarity in the US, but it's very widely used in Europe.
- I was thinking of that when I wrote the comment! I've heard of electric turbochargers, but I'm not sure how good they are under real-life conditions. Directly using heat energy from the exhaust (as opposed to introducing electric conversion losses) seems wiser to me. Part of me has always liked making use of what would otherwise be wasted to entropy.
In theory (though not a mechanic, just have an interest in this), the best middle-ground would be to retain the same design but add a motor to the turbocharger shaft which would mainly be reserved for spool ups -- is that what they're doing?
- Well, from what I understand, the car I drove did. I believe the motor was hooked up to engine's output shaft in some way, so they could work together to generate torque. The gearing seemed very low for the displacement (even had a 6th gear!), so it would suggest they were making good use of the electric powertrain.
