That said, perhaps it's better for American's health that they shrunk the size... assuming they didn't add 20g of sugar to it to compensate

I've been happy with Arq + TimeMachine

He's missing the point. The fight against tech is not more tech. It's regulating tech.

Would that have any real advantage over some "basic" setup (eg tmux running codex, and accessing it through SSH on the phone with Termius)? I've been able to do 80% of what I neede…

Except "two graphs look the same" in no way means "therefore the results are equivalent" The article is baseless and fluffy

Indeed. And the obvious reason is that when you simulate the "self-assessment" using a Gaussian noise around the "actual intelligence", and clamp it to [0, 100] so that it doesn't …

This article seems really dumb (no Dunning-Kruger joke intended). The two lines on the graph are basically linear (for the "actual performance" the quasi-linearity is obvious by th…

It's still way, way, too cheap compared to its climate impact

Indeed. And also it's not healthy, compared to veggies, or even leaner meats like poultry

Germany is nice, but food keeps me in France haha

Exactly. That's why the goal is to share the means of production among everyone

> Technology was supposed to make room for life but instead for more and more people life is slowly being rearranged around AI. It's not like we hadn't been warned by decades of sc…

We're in need of more local, non-pesticide based farming

Except solving problem is probably the least (even though it's important) interesting thing in research... The most interesting thing in research is finding new questions, that we …

When a Mayor does more for the citizen than the government...

(Gouach co-founder here) This is nice, but when you have an e-bike with a malfunctioning battery that you use for work everyday, you don't want to have the 2/3 months it generally …

(Gouach co-founder here) Exactly! The first kits are DIY for our early adopters, but we are working on an assembly pipeline in France, China and the US for our models in the coming…

(Gouach co-founder here) Most of our users buy brand new cells, and we are working with partners who do have the equipment to retrieve second-life cells and match them in their fac…

(Gouach co-founder here) Car-sized batteries last long because they have so much redundancy, that even when multiple cell fails, you barely notice it. It's very different in a smal…

We managed to reverse-engineer the protocol and to make our battery communicate with the Bosch controllers!

Killing salmon is gross too...

I really like VoiceInk! For the Whispering dev: would it be possible to set "right shift" as a toggle? also do it like VoiceInk which is: - either short right shift press -> then i…

Really nice! For OsX there is also the great VoiceInk which is similar and open-source https://github.com/Beingpax/VoiceInk/

That's why now I've completely eliminated .env secrets from my codebase and I only use 1Password (with the cli) so it loads secrets dynamically as needed. So if I'm running some AI…
