They bill you per output token.

Never heard of work louder, but it sounds like an idea I used to joke with coworkers about, around making a clickly keyboard with an amplifier and speaker to passive-aggressively d…

They won't necessarily map out all the circuits but they will generally test them all with a tester to find wiring problems.

Becoming increasingly convinced that the pattern that will stick is not AI "integrated" into everything but personal agents. As in I will have one personal assistant that helps me …

Similar - had an HVAC tech out to diagnose mine (some intermittent electrical problem was killing thermostats randomly) and since it was intermittent they couldn't figure it out. I…

Kinda tired of being inundated with low quality AI slop absolutely everywhere.

Same - 13" macbook screen becomes less functional when you fill it with padding.

State of the art 7 months ago is good enough for a lot of use cases.

I think a lot of usage will move to the cheap open weight Chinese models once there is an incentive to do that. Everything below the highest end frontier models are becoming commod…

This seems true for our moment in time but looking forward I'm not sure how much it will stay that way. The LLMs will inevitably need to find a sustainable business model so I can …

It's a forcing function that ensures the middle layers of a vertically integrated stack remain market competitive and don't stagnate because they are the default/only option

This is the right take - there is a huge variation in "value per dollar" across AWS services. The base ones that solve hard problems like durable persistent state can be very much …

I just wish the Gemini app would stop inserting and auto playing a YouTube video into nearly every response when I'm on a mobile connection. There appears to be no way to stop it.

RouterOS 7 with the wifiwave2 package supposedly improves on this by (finally) supporting 802.11r/k/v for roaming between APs. I don't have any mikrotik hardware new enough to supp…

It's related to vehicle weight, electric cars can be significantly heavier.

It's super useful for maintenance, for example you can replace and upgrade the drives in place without reinstalling the system.

EPA and DHA actually originate in algae and seaweed which is where the fish get it from, so those are good sources too.

Most of these are what I'd call "cloud in name only" providers - everyone uses the term but you would have significant challenge moving a cloud workload that makes use of the highe…

I think the point was not that we won't still use a lot of hardware, it's that it won't necessarily always be Nvidia. Nvidia got lucky when both crypto and AI arrived because it ha…

I think less of that and more of real risks - Nvidia legitimately has the earnings right now. The question is how sustainable that is, when most of it is coming from 5 or so custom…

The M1 macbook did feel like a big jump for me because it had great performance and no fan , which was a huge thing compared to everything else at the time.

You would be the best one to evaluate if this applies in your case but in many cases where my users say "it's not possible" I end up finding a gap that's more related to usability …

I'd be curious if you have any insight on why the tracking apps for buses are so inaccurate - OneBusAway but also Google maps and the others. The estimates are often off in one way…
