I think you meant a quote attributed to Bill Gates: "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xe…

That's good information. I couldn't possibly even start to run even DeepSeek Flash on my system, but also if you're assuming multiple GPUs, that is going to affect the napkin math.…

> We'll assume a 32B dense model, as they've have gotten quite good for production use and a B200 can comfortably serve them. This could be a Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, whatever. That …

I assume this is primarily intended to block using older Kindles to bypass DRM? I have some experience doing this with this on an older keyboard Kindle and Calibre, and haven't rea…

Interesting. It seems like a ToS violation would have been worthy of a warning and revoking the offending earnings, but nope, it was no mercy or review.

Several years ago, I ran a niche hobbyist website and incorporated Adsense (because why not?!?). The site featured a fuzzy search function since it referenced tens of thousands of …

As much as I respect the site and gladly financially support it, this is ultimately a failure on Ars Technica and its editors. If there are any. If this were just some random blogg…

Massive radiators. In this photo[0], all of the light gray panels are thermal radiators. Note how they are nearly as large as the solar panels, which gives you an idea about the sc…

It feels like GLM has either a bit of a fan club or maybe some paid supporters...

It is still good, even if not the new hotness. But I understand your point. It isn't as though GLM-4.7 Flash is significantly better, and honestly, I have had poor experiences with…

Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B[0][1] is a very impressive local model. It is good with tool calling and works great with llama.cpp/Visual Studio Code/Roo Code for local development. It do…

I only have one day's worth of light usage on a Pixel 9 Pro, but it feels at least as responsive as Nova Launcher. Zero lag in switching screens, opening the app drawer, or scrolli…

I had never experienced meteoblue so I installed it, it looked very nice, but when I added the 4x1 widget, it looked horrible. I resized it and got "Subscription required. Tap on t…

Widget sizing/appearance was probably the only surprise that I discovered between Nova and Octo. Resizing in Octo takes a bit of getting used to, but I was able to reproduce the ap…

There have been enshitification clouds looming on the horizon for Nova Launcher for so long, I think many people (including me) were hoping it would just never happen. That said, c…

Thank you! I had looked at several recommended launchers and none were real Nova Launcher replacements. I randomly saw your comment and was intrigued, especially since I hadn't see…

I was a 10+ year long Nova Launcher user and knew this day was coming after the sale and layoffs[0][1]... This evening I at looked several replacement launchers, such as Lawnchair …

> I assume "what sort of problems you must have" was directed at me. I don't really have any sort of personal problem with Boris' post, if what your inflammatory statement was impl…

This feels like the desperate, look at me! post, which is the exact opposite of Andrej Karpathy's recent tweet[0] about feeling left behind as a programmer, as covered on Hacker Ne…

The spinrite[0] user group has noticed some of these effects, even on in-service drives. The theory is that operating system files, which rarely change, are written and almost neve…

Just a FYI - many people[0] (including myself) have had serious issues with JetKVM. In my case, I found it is not compatible with all HDMI sources but others just have unknown "Loa…

You're right - I meant Kilauea

There are a number of telescopes on Mauna Loa which have not been removed, just this sensor.

You're thinking of Mauna Kea, which is some distance - both horizontally and vertically - from Mauna Loa.
