Slightly offtopic but I find Apple maps to be way better than Google maps. Their lane by lane directions are amazing. Most of the time you don’t even have to look at the phone. Whereas google has their weird way of zooming in and out and often a bit late. My success rate of not missing a turn is way higher on Apple maps and than on Google maps.

However, a senior officer said, “Canada, which is a member of Interpol and talks about the rule of law, has disregarded Interpol red notices. As a rule, once a red notice is issued, a member country is bound to take the suspect(s) into custody”

Canada yet to act on Interpol notices against Khalistani gangsters - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/india-ne...

Because India has ridiculous history of making up charges against people whom they don’t like politically. Search “Umar Khalid”.

From what I have heard is that it’s laggy and visibility is not good either. But never tried it myself.

Sounded like some copium blended with sarcasm to be honest.

Sounds like schadenfreude.

The AI race to zero is accelerating with Meta who has already won the race. Fuelling an ecosystem of downloadable AI models released for $0 for free for anyone can use, unlike the gate-kept cloud-only AI models which OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are trying hard to compete against Llama which eventually the free AI models will catch up to GPT-4 sooner.

Cloud-only models cannot compete with free and they continue to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, especially OpenAI getting disrupted by the $0 free AI model ecosystem thanks to Meta.

It is clear that the REAL 'Open AI' has always been Meta. Funny how many here dismissed Meta a year ago and since the days of the ConvNet hype, they have been releasing their AI research more frequently than OpenAI is trying to update their GPT model.

For Meta, they are already at the finish line and thanks to them you have CodeLlama; accelerating and driving inflated developer salaries to the bottom. No need for expensive, tired seniors and inexperienced juniors both doing the same developer job worse than two engineers with CodeLlama who can do the same work faster for less.

The future is hiring less developers but utilising AI and not hiring more with extreme inflated salaries.

As if the engineers were causing income inequality.

I was thinking of grabbing a cheap phone for this, but still attached to the handlebars. If it's sunny, the phone would probably get too hot and shut off in a pouch, especially since my motorbike has a big enough fairing that mounting the pouch in the wind wouldn't be practical.

I can see that heat would be a problem. But I don’t live in a very hot area. But I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yup. The best bet is the handlebar bag with clear pouch and a cheap $100 android phone with offline google maps. I am personally using a Samsung Galaxy which I bought it from fb marketplace.
