    This is a bit of a weird list. This looks at the percentage of electricity generation that is renewable. But some of these countries are net importers. I think the final row in the…

    The argument is that scams based on exploiting goodness causes a lot more harm compared to the ones based on exploiting greed. Because it trains people that doing good deeds is not…

    I strongly disagree and I am having trouble understanding what kind of world you envision, what will it look like? The problem as I see it is not robots coming for my job and takin…

    Absolutely, I am sceptical of AI omin many ways, but primarily it is about the AI companies and my lack of trust in them. I find it unfortunate that all of the clearly brilliant en…

    To a certain extent I agree. But as far as I know I cannot go to chatgpt.com and paste the newest ICPC problems and get full solutions. And there is no information about what they …

    They apparently managed gold in the IOI as well. A result that was extremely surprising for me and causes me to rethink a lot of assumptions I have about current LLMs. Unfortunatel…

    Buypass provides ACME certificates as well [1]. The usage limits are not quite as generous as LE, but they work pretty well in my experience. [1] https://www.buypass.com/products/t…

    Thanks for the link! I have been thinking a lot about topics related to this lately and this looks like an interesting read. Skimming through it I might not agree with all the idea…

    I was wondering if anyone here has experimented with running a cluster of SBC for LLM inference? Ex. the Radxa ROCK 5C has 32GB of memory and also a NPU and only costs about 300 eu…

    Why not simply watch native Swedish content instead? There should be quite a lot globally available for free from SVT.

    Related to this Applied Science on YouTube has a pretty cool video where he demonstrates how a single laser diode can be used to measure miniscule vibrations. I wonder if this woul…

    Not necessarily, this assumes that it is possible to perfectly simulate physics on computers. It is not obvious that this is true. For one it assumes that physical interactions hap…

    I'm in Norway so I don't really know how it looks like from abroad, but I am pretty sure a lot of NRK content is available globally. Under the Vikingane show you listed it clearly …

    I see most replies here ar mentioning the the build integration is what is mainly missing in the public tools. I wonder if nix and nixpkgs could be used here? Nix is a language agn…

    Yesterday I was configuring a usb to serial converter to communicate with a CNC controller (over RS232). However I was unable to transmit any data and so I brought the oscilloscope…

    It seems like they are using [1] Wish [2], a library for "SSH apps" [1]: https://git.sr.ht/~erock/prose.sh/tree/main/item/cmd/ssh/mai... [2]: https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish

    That looks pretty impressive, but I am quite skeptical of the fact that this craft uses ion propulsion for any significant proton of its thrust. A reddit user [1] suggests that it …

    I would recommend people who are looking for not only printers, but most kinds of equipment (except for cases where new stuff is unambiguously better than old stuff, but this is ra…

    It is presumably more effective to spend your time trying to solve the hard problems of science, politics and economics that lead to the problems we have today. You probably won't …

    There already exists some fiber-optic USB cables that come in lengths >50m and with support for USB 3.1 so it doesn't seem like a very unrealistic option.

    I think LLVM IR (and other IRs) works a bit like this. There you have an infinite set of registers while memory is separate and you need to explicitly load and store between them. …

    You can view the source of a crate on docs.rs (see [1] for the Cargo.toml of rust-s3). Also I am pretty sure cargo only depends on GitHub for authentication for uploading crates an…
