Not about range, but speed. Wifi is surprisingly slow. I noticed downloading a model from the internet (Huggingface) to my Desktop (connected by LAN cable) is faster than copying i…

Japan here and there is a word for it "nominication" for nomu (to drink) and communication. Instead of Christmas party we have a year end party (bonenkai). Otherwise reads the same…

Similar strength and location as the 2016 one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Kumamoto_earthquakes

It's even worse: Customer says I want X! One or more of the following can be true: - Customer really wants X - Customer doesnt actually need X at all - Customer wants Y not X but c…

I am trying this. I noticed I only browse a subset of sites a lot. Also HN works wonders for finding links. But how do you get around all those bot measures/cloudflare nowadays? It…

One big pain point is not seeing the thinking trace. I noticed using pi with a self hosted model that I could spot, stop and correct my prompt much faster. With claude etc I have t…

Just for reference our fully electric household (including cooking, water and aircon). Highest usage this month on a very hot day was 25kWh. (Disclaimer: I am not in Australia. Alr…

This would be awesome for OpenMW, too. Morrowind is kind of dated. But I like the original style. So a curated easy install of improvement mods as a service would be great.

I work similar, but still have architecture mds for a few selected cross cutting features. As useful for human readers as for AI. Normally I do it exactly as you say, point at a fe…

Picking max(len(answer)) is the right choice almost every time at the higher level..

Really nice. I build a deck this year too. I would have loved to have a nice blog post like this beforehand. I love his page. Inspires to write. Simple, clean, blog has 2 years bre…

All cities have the exact same shopping street somewhere. Tokyo (Ginza), NYC (5th), Paris, London, Berlin, Sao Paulo..: Starbucks, Gucci, Addidas, Louis Vuitton, Levis, Ferragamo, …

When buying fridge, washing machine, oven etc, when I moved, I told the sales person, I like quality, am not price sensitive, but any device that requires an app or has a camera/mi…

Not only kids. I am an adult, and I also enjoy physical ownership. Physical music (especially LP) sales have been rising yoy since 2020.

I am totally a linux user. But even on the high end, the build quality of laptops more expensive than apple is often worse than apple. Or it's hit and miss and you need to hope to …

I think this is the main point. Most articles conflate consciousness with intelligence or awareness. Without clarifying their definition of it. To quote wikipedia: > It has been th…

Same opinion. Opus is best for coding, but Qwen 3.6 27b Q8 is next, before Sonnet. Sonnet might have more knowledge and is maybe good for making excel sheets, but it does not write…

A similar thing is happening in video games. Big studios rarely have interesting games. Just GameTitle2026. Reboot of game from the 90s and no one is left of the original staff. St…

I wonder how they are positioned now in the market. During covid I wanted a small low power always on server. I thought about Raspi, but at the time it was expensive and I went wit…

It might be overcompensation. I think UI, UX and GUIs got better up until the 90s, and early 2000s, but then somewhere GUIs suddenly got a lot worse. So a modern CLI is better and …

I don't know about basket weaving, but.. I once had a talk with one of (the?) world's best bonsai gardener in Edogawa, Tokyo. Trees cut by him are worth millions and he has picture…

How to handle domains? The rest is easy, but your domain registrar blocking you sounds like a pain. My current solution is to use a local small provider, just for the domain. Then …

I always wanted to get into bsd, especially openbsd. I like the idea of a more cohesive os. But I don't really know what to use it for to get started. My desktop runs linux with st…

There are! This is outside US (Sorry, page is in Japanese) https://www.ichijo.co.jp/technology/energy/solar/ They are famous for integrating their supply chain, controlling all of …

That is similar to how some of these boats look like, just more modern. Here is an example with pictures https://www.ferry-sunflower.co.jp/en/ (disclaimer, I never went that route,…
