Visual Studio has these issues daily.

Ten years ago VS was awesome. In the last 2 years, all they added is AI crap and every other feature got more buggy.

I could have said it better.

I mean compressor as half of a compression/decompression algorithm. The better way I should have worded it is: when you apply machine learning to a compression problem, you can do it lossless…your uncompressed output will be identical to the input, every time.

“NNCP” is a good search term to learn more, specifically about how this works.

This is not new knowledge and predates the current LLM fad.

See the Hutter prize which has had “machine learning” based compressors leading the ranking for some time: http://prize.hutter1.net/

It’s important to note when applied to compressors, the model does produce a code (aka encoding) that exactly reproduces the input. But on a different input the same model is unlikely to produce an impressive compression.

Just switch to the F-Droid version.

Better: make sure all the apps you use come from F-Droid

“Starch based” plastic is just a way to greenwash PLA.

Just because the C, H, and O originally came from starch, does not automatically make the chemically synthesized product safe.

They do this to juice the gross margin number and make the auto business appear more profitable.

I drive very little so I only need to change it annually. 2100 miles in a year.

While I was under there, I shot some rust converter on the worst spots. Just holding back the inevitable, though.

I know it’s a 20-30 min job. But I went at a relaxing pace. It took about an hour, maybe and hour and a half.

Couldn’t find what was squeaky in the front suspension, though.

It’s weird to me that you would click a link and without your consent JS code can be downloaded from wherever and run on your computer.

NoScript is always on for me (on my personal PC). Sites that don’t load at all are probably not worth visiting.
