Also, Z-wave’s frequency is a bit better at handling things like metal electrical boxes - useful if you live in an older home. Anecdotally, I have Z-wave, Zigbee, and WiFi devices.…

I have Quantum and a UCG fiber. IIRC you only have to turn off vlan tagging on the ONT, and then set DHCP and the vlan tag on the UCG. If you try to keep the vlan tag on ONT you wi…

Oh yay. Now our terminal server can have OneDrive Photos AND Teams installed for every single user profile.

Change my mind: The complexity of ZFS isn’t worth it except in certain specialized situations.

This is actually what’s interesting

It’s different because those were singular technological advances, each in their own niche. They spread out change between time, geography, and industries. The fear is this will re…

I love Ted Chiang’s fiction, but his Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan scenario totally misses the point that the writer has consciousness, not the characters. No normal person thinks…

Maybe we can just dump heat into the time dimension and deal with it in the past or the future.

This is the dystopia where despots no longer have the decency to die from old age.

My only question is, why release on a Friday? “News dump day” Or is that only late on Friday?

OR IS IT!!?! /s Maybe it’s all elaborate counter-intelligence. I doubt we’ll ever know.

I wonder how this affects that combining General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics leads to mathematical infinities “that render calculations meaningless.”

It appears that they are testing using Max. For 4.7 Anthropic recognizes the high token usage of max and recommends the new xhigh mode for most cases. So I think the real question …

I should have been more clear- I’m not endorsing violence- just noticing a probable correlation.

Somewhere I read that vigilanteism arises when there is a perceived last of justice. This guy gets rich while people everywhere are losing jobs. Seems about right.

Is there a point where you step back and let it blow up so that management HAS to take the issues seriously? In other words, if you care, you might get enough minor fixes through t…

So, instead of making LLMs smarter let’s make everything abstract again? Because everyone wants to learn another tool? Or is this supposed to be something I tell Claude, “Hey make …

I tried Hue lights last year but 50% of them had problems. Did you run into that too?

> Why are Americans so passive? Because it’s cold? Here in Minnesota it’s 17F / -7C. Factoring in the wind chill it feels like 7F / -14C. There are other reasons too of course (geo…

> many of their systems were running out of date EOL software, to the point of being a security liability This is more likely a management problem rather than a staffing problem. L…

No no it’s gotta be “the database”

Copilot is the absolute worst. Yesterday I had tried to have it create a printable calendar for January 2026 but no matter how I instructed it, it kept showing that the first was o…

It’s missing almost all technical details, which seems fishy to me. But I’m sure this defense company is honest and has a system that works great and so that’s why no technical det…

My take is that orbits below 500 km are “cleaned out” and during solar minimum there is less drag going on there. So, it’s a good spot to home your satellites for a while because t…
