    The core argument they are making is one of resources, I can find myself seeing their point. Another abuse of the service would be to convert videos into ASCII text and check them …

    I was thinking also about some kind of coil. Being a ring it should be possible to induce a current, with the chassis as a ground.

    Not sure that would work. Charging is not 100% efficient, and if I remember correctly most batteries need to reach a minimum current to start actual charging. When you're talking m…

    I think this was somewhat predictable. The USB cable from the hub is too long, and it's not thick enough. USB3 can also kick off a decent amount of heat, it's not a good sign when …

    I've updated the magic weights, and I too can get the result I want: WEIGHTS = { 'w_xg': 0.09, 'w_goals': -0.07, 'w_star': 0.018, 'w_value': 0.18, 'w_rank': 0.4, 'w_def': -0.12, 'x…

    I've been messing with the magic value weights, and it doesn't take too much to push them in any given direction. The TEAMS_2026 should really be taken with a pinch of salt.
