“ What will happen to democracy in a world where 100% of the population are 27/7 consumers?” …we’ll add three hours to our day? Bu seriously, I support what you are saying. This is…

> "Smart Local Control" home devices work as expected until the electronics fail Recently one of my Zigbee-controlled thermostats started pumping cold air constantly. To fix it, al…

You don’t need an LLM for this. Use `kubectl` to create a simple pod/service/deployment/ingress/etc, run `kubectl get -o yaml > foo.yaml` to bring it back to your machine in yaml f…

Anaconda was a good idea until it would break apt on Ubuntu and make my job that much harder. That became the reason _not_ to use Anaconda in my book. venv made these problems star…

Oh sure! While we’re at it, let’s increase the existing dystopia by giving employers the ability to track our stress levels and let them “compensate” as they see fit…

Alphabet will definitely try to do that (within their business interest and all that), but I still choose to believe in the precept that “the net interprets censorship as damage an…

I love the idea of this flake to run Ollama even on Windows, but just pointing people to your _everything_ flake is going to confuse people and make it look harder than it is to ru…

Is it because pi isn’t measured, but calculated? The wikipedia article ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_constant ) makes a distinction between a mathematical constant and…

How this article discusses reproducibility in NixOS and declines to even mention the intensional model or efforts to implement it are surprising to me, since it appears they have d…

“Even are ads are private…” I don’t think that’s possible. Modern advertisers require those sweet sweet metrics, which can never be truly anonymized, and in most cases attempts to …

One book not on that list that really threw me recently was The Anomaly [0]. The less you know about it going in the better. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anomaly_(novel) .…

Assume around $3/hr per H100 (pretty generous pricing for GCP), that is $2250/month-gpu, or for their fleet of 8000 comes to $18MM/month or around $216MM/year in just compute costs…

I disagree… the article talks about defining the meter using the pendulum and the second. Other planets would have their own definition of second, but not their own definition of p…

I can talk to the opposite side about why I am very happy going all in with NixOS. Prior to that I was running dual-boot Windows (for games) and Ubuntu (for coding). Despite all of…

By the looks of it, the announcement webpage also breaks Tridactyl unnecessarily, so I doubt they are interested in supporting *vim... Joking aside, I would be shocked if someone d…

One of the more interesting perspectives I gained about Lord Byron was when I learned of his support of the Luddites from reading the book Blood in the Machine[0], which I am surpr…

Fun fact: if seems that if you use Lockdown mode on Apple devices you can't open PDFs from a browser (no official documentation says it but there is anecdotal evidence). This would…

IRL universities will probably develop a protocol to remove access to helper tools for this sort of thing, maybe metal detectors at the door and specially tailored computers if nee…

“There was a slight increase in risk of HZ in people receiving influenza vaccine in the first 1–15 days after vaccination.” That’s kind of overselling it, isn’t it? The OP study sa…

… why have the operator sit in the cab? If truly teleoperated, then wouldn’t it be safer for the operator to be in a room far enough from the robot so that if there is some acciden…

You are looking for the price like I was, and many pages are trying to snare you onto “speak to a specialist” links. Let me spare you the trouble, as you are looking for this page:…

I will take a stab at this... it is about object localization via sound instead of sight, using very little power. For comparison, let's say you have a sound sensing setup on a Ras…

There’s also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italki . But I actually have shied away from it, mainly because I get nervous talking in front of a live person who will be judging my ca…

I think there’s a typing option: just click on the keyboard icon when entering a conversation?

I French press my grounds at home too, but I bring water to 200F (93C) instead of boiling, as I was taught in my barista days that boiling water makes the coffee too bitter. Are yo…
