It would be interesting to see the models work on a book it hasn't been trained on yet. I guess sadly that means any book released very recently. Definitely impressive demo, I do w…

I definitely resonate with the "my software-oriented brain feels almost incompatible with this world of designing a home" I really struggle with visualising what things are going t…

Are the HTTP headers for method/name etc even needed at this point and just use urls instead? e.g. mymcpserver.com/tools/call?mcp-method=search

It's not quite clear from the video but it looks to me like you park up in the garage, and there's a garage door on the other side. So as you 'check in', I guess the 'human' side y…

I doubt the robots have sufficient enough traction/mobility to navigate on any surface that isn't reasonably smooth like tarmac. Also I'd wager the car park the robots go to isn't …

I always wonder with solutions like these how stuff like alarm systems on the car cope with the car being lifted, the vibrations encountered as its being towed. Unless they tell yo…

> Microsoft is never going to figure out gaming. I feel they kind of did in the Xbox 360 era. Maybe it was just down to luck because Sony dropped the ball in the early years of the…

I feel the physical disc died a long time ago, most games require heavy patching to fix bugs or download new content, or even in some cases download whole portions of the game, so …

this whole saga is having ripple effects even in the second hand market. in 2020-2022 there was a glut of those 1L mini pcs on ebay and other resellers which were WAY better value …

> That sort of mental overhead is crazy to me. I've been on the tariff for 2 years now, at first I was looking at the prices every day, but over time you get used to how it works a…

I think freezers would definitely be a gimmick as they don't really use that much power. I can see it being a nice feature for higher-load tasks though, e.g. my dishwasher uses abo…

Some chargers communicate directly with the energy supplier and charge at the cheaper rates. You can do this yourself as well with home assistant (if your charger supports it) and …

There is an element of truth in that if you go to the extremes, where it's almost definitely not worth it. I don't sit in the dark during the peak times, during the week I'm workin…

Exactly. For me I'm happy to avoid big power draws during the peak times, as I'm 'compensated' for it outside of those periods with a little planning. Downside is when the wind is …

Explained above, I WFH, single (no kids) and have an EV - but I don't use the car for commute etc so I can be choosy about when I charge the car and take advantage of the ultra che…

....that being said, when you see stuff like this page and news articles about cheap renewable power etc, there are A LOT of negative reactions to it (even evidenced by the comment…

I'm on a electricity tariff where the per kWh unit price changes every 30 minutes, you're basically being charged at market rate or thereabouts, the prices for the next 28 hours ar…

I think stuff like this really crystalises how people misunderstand how much energy stuff uses. My parents for example sweat the small stuff and go around the house turning LED dri…

> A new house bought today could have 10 phone sockets and 0 Ethernet sockets. There is still no regulation that requires new build to get Ethernet wiring (as far as I know). I thi…

Awesome project & video, thanks for making it Where did you learn all the PCB design stuff to make your circuit boards that controlled the filaments?

I remember playing with Gentoo back in 2004-2005, going through the installation procedure from "stage 1" all the way through to the working system [1] It looks like nowadays the h…

A few years ago this product would have just been called an ML Accelerator and marketed as helping accelerate ML workloads like object detection in images Hitching their wagon to t…

ehhhhhhh I don't think you need to go as far as reading dense accounting literature, I never have and I've been maintaining a beancount files for 7+ years. I just followed the docu…

I think there's definitely something in it around there's a huge learning curve. Double entry book keeping isn't that difficult but that's easy to say once you've been doing it a w…
