can you recommend a setup with ollama and a cli tool? Do you know if I need a licence for Claude if I only use my own local LLM?

It seems that this is only in place at the security entering the terminal. I landed in Heathrow a few days ago and had to empty out my water bottle (which I got given on the flight…

We once stayed in a beach house with an outdoor shower in South Africa. One morning I got up, took a shower (without my glasses, I am very short sighted) and went in for breakfast.…

Fully agree. Walking towards the address I came around a corner and my jaw dropped. Still get goosebumps thinking of that moment. Sadly inside was a construction site with no light…

Around 2001 I worked for one of the big dot com news outlets. In our reception we had a PC with a browser set up where people could "use the internet" while they waited. One day th…

As others have mentioned, this resonates well. But for me, not only biology. Looking back, I wish my history teacher had done something similar; taken me by the shoulders and shook…

That's a very good idea, probably also the easiest to implement since my set up is API driven.

I LOVE the simplicity of it!

Fully agree, this is probably the most viable future option.

Would pumping up into a tank in the roof work? Any idea of the amount of energy vs weight can be stored?

I have a heat pump driven boiler and I do run it when the excess is available - it uses 500W, so I'm still left with a potential 2-2.5kW. I can of course set the boiler hotter, but…

Sure, 30kW storage is fine, but it implies you use all the energy every day (or night). In the summer months my current set up uses basically 0 grid hours (as I already have some s…

I'm trying to think up ideas of what I could do with an intermittent "excess" of electricity - only at certain hours of the day up to a certain (fixed) amount. Let's say around 10k…

perhaps give a consistent fake birth date (rather than a random one)

My dad mentioned to me once that back in the early days of commercial flying each passenger was weighed with their luggage

Looking through some of the points above, I was somehow reminded of Johnny Mnemonic, where he puts together a computer to get online. Based on today's reality he wouldn't need all …

They have similar limits in Europe already. Is this also the case in the US?

Generally you lie in the water in a wetsuit for buoyancy. The spotter holds on to you to make sure you don't float out to sea (in our case). They also check on you by prompting you…

> if you are using vim, it is more efficient to use ctrl+[ instead of the escape key I'm always amazed by how, after using vi(m) for so many years one can always learn something ne…

They have them in a few intersections here in Munich too

I think the difference is that in the US you are allowed to turn right (in many cases) on red. Here in Germany it generally isn't allowed, so bikes have right of way over traffic t…
