My point was that using something heavily means you have an informed opinion about hating it. Hating something you have never tried is way weirder.

> I wonder how many in that poll have a negative sentiment about AI, yet are also heavy users. There seems to be some kind of disconnect going on? Being a heavy user seems like it'…

Because companies that want to go public need to look profitable or potentially profitable. And before they go public they have to release real, actual, legally demonstrable number…

It's wild to me that someone looking for advice on how to do any kind of stock trading would be looking for a once sentence answer. I hope it at least has real citations to actual …

Similarly, I put a repeater in an upper story of an apartment building in Boston and am reliably able to talk to people over 10+ hops. Right this second I'm able to talk to someone…

Why? They likely don't plan to make it out and it'll make them more famous after.

I admit it was a super meta-funny response, because everyone I see that's into meshcore thinks it's open source because of that repository and posts it after a 30 second google sea…

At this point I'll believe it when the money actually moves. There's been far to many "plans" and "commitments" and an awful lot of nothing actually happening.

It's so weird right? I keep hearing people say it's open source but like... where's the code then? I've tried to find it. I can find stuff for core components, but they lock featur…

Heh, I use MeshCore in Massachusetts and my layperson explanation is that MeshCore is for people who would be HAMs except they don't have the patience to take an exam. You're proba…

It gets messy when the other poker players are your mentors and family whom you love and respect, when the money is real, when the amounts to you feel enormous (whether they matter…

This is what I do, I'm a little confused by the issue. If you have a device that outputs HDMI just never connect the TV to your wifi. It's not like you need or want firmware update…

Imagine the process of solving a problem as a sequence of hundreds of little decisions that branch between just two options. There is some probability that your human brain would c…

Don't most tech startups lose money for years before they maybe make a profit? I mean, I agree that such companies are over-represented in thinking about small businesses if that's…

I love uMatrix, but all evidence is that they stopped developing it in 2021. https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix I don't know the implications of that, it's the only tool I've ever …

I think what's important here is to reduce harm even if it's still a little annoying. Because if you try to completely ban mentioning something is LLM written you'll just have peop…

It is an interesting point about handwriting as distinct from reading or writing alone. I appreciate it, thank you. I would not concede that speed is not as important as doing it c…

Definitely, it's always used GCC under the hood, and also just been the IDE. Arduino (the original AVR boards anyway) have always relied on GCC, and not just that but the entire op…

I recall AVR-GCC not only working just fine in 2005 but being the official method for compiling code for those chips. I used it before Arduino came out to target the same chips. Ar…

From context I can't tell if they mean the heated coils in a heat pump head, or somehow connecting to a traditional radiator. In older homes there isn't necessarily HVAC at all and…

The combination with air conditioning and dehumidifying is genuinely compelling for the simplicity. Especially in new construction. But these things trickle down to renters last. A…

I listed a reason that impacts a third of houses. I didn't write an essay because the article lists plenty of others. It was just weird that they never mentioned the misaligned inc…

I've got to throw out an obvious explanation. A third of the country rents. Renters pay the utility bills. Landlords pay for appliance upgrades. Why would the landlord put any effo…

Could you clarify what you mean about getting serial over the USB port in the context of debug pins? I've been using Teensy devices for over a decade and have always had it just re…
