This is what I assumed would happen back when the rumors started. A new tab on Instagram for your text feed... That way you'd get two facets of a user - a visual and a more textual/discussion-oriented one. -

I agree - it's Cerebras power. Funny how Mistral isn't listed for that provider on OpenRouter despite Mistral being on OpenRouter. Edit: Ah, Mistral is of course their own provider on OR... Which probably in turn uses Cerebras. It's just that you don't get to it directly via OR. -

I’m all for autonomous taxis. In my rural area a car is vital for work, socialising and appointments. Public transport is almost non-existent, with only two buses a day and none on weekends. The roads are narrow, unlit B roads with no pavements, so walking or cycling is unsafe. If you cannot drive, you depend on lifts or expensive taxis. City politicians / Gov keep making car ownership harder: higher road tax, soaring insurance because of repair costs and parts delays, and ever-rising fuel prices. A single mistake, such as a shaky cyclist overtake or getting trapped in a yellow box due to badly placed traffic lights at a roundabout and someone pulling out in front, can cost you your licence. They also push everyone toward electric vehicles, which do not work here. Many houses have no driveway and due to historic protection rules/laws cant add one, and you cannot run charging cables over the few bits of pavement we do have. Driving elsewhere to charge would also hurt the few local businesses left and act as a hidden tax on rural life as its more expensive to charge away from home. That’s why an on-demand, self-charging automated taxi service would be perfect for people here. -

You can get deeper bass from your Polk soundbar with this $99 wireless subwoofer deal by Sayan Sen JBL and Samsung are still selling their soundbars with wireless subwoofers at great prices at the moment. The former has its BAR 1000 and BAR 700 models at their lowest, which the latter has the Q900F, Q800F, and Q600F, at least prices. If, however, you already have a soundbar, like the Polk Audio React, say, then you can add a subwoofer and get deeper bass; and now is the best time to pick one up as the React wireless sub is on sale for just $99 (purchase link down below). Unlike what some may feel like, a subwoofer is not there to make the bass louder, well technically yes, but in the way that makes your system boom more, that's what is known as the "boomy bass" and that is not something desirable, although some do like it. Instead, the subwoofer is supposed to augment the low end of your main speakers such that the bass/sub-bass from the subwoofer naturally blends with your main speaker's mid-bass/bass. The React subwoofer does not list too many spec details but Polk Audio claims that it can go down to 25 Hz. The unit comes with a high excursion long throw 7 inch bass driver and even with high excursion (high Xmax), it is never easy for a 7 inch driver to dig so deep. Since Polk does not quite disclose the SPL (sound pressure level) of the product at this 25 Hz frequency, it is probably safe to say that the dB output in this deep bass range is going to be much lower than its average SPL at frequencies like the 40-80 Hz spectrum. It is worth noting that most of the music actually lies above the 30 Hz range and thus if you are a music listener, the low output below 30 Hz won't even be noticeable. For movies, this sub should deliver plenty of oomph, and you will only miss the deepest of rumbles, but for just $99, can you even complain on missing out the lowest octaves?

Just merge it with Instagram already... Meta having two platforms with overlap was a bad business decision.

Hi OOP Mateys,
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that contains locations to FREE .Net controls, so I'll start the ball rolling with the new Power Pack I just found !
The VB.Net Power Pack over at Microsoft is a free download containing 7 new controls including Blending Panels and Notification Windows.
Link : VB.Net Power Pack
The Power Pack can also be used in C# !
They are a great addition to your .Net toolbox and they are free !
Enjoy ! :D
