For sure.

Not speaking to the wisdom of filing taxes using LLMs, but just FYI (assuming US here) taxes being accepted doesn't mean they were correct. It just means the IRS hasn't found anyth…

There's certainly a bit of dramatization/exaggeration here, but the main point is that it doesn't really fix the stated problem while also being a huge change for everyone to adapt…

I mean, kind of. Series hybrids (where the drivetrain is all electric and fed by a generator) yes, but all the parallel hybrids I've driven are still pretty anemic because you have…

and the third half of the population thinks it's egregious that a repeating fraction has been truncated!

ID is never checked at the gate for domestic flights, only international, at least in the US. This was the case being referenced: https://abc7.com/post/wicliff-yves-fleurizard-stow…

The article actually does mention using this technique, though it doesn't explain it, so thanks for the background from someone who isn't familiar with this space!

Yes, one might argue it's a little misleading, but it comes across as significantly more genuine and less scammy than TurboTax. The federal filing is completely free, no matter whi…

In no way does it set a dangerous precedent. Fortifying flour and iodizing salt (both of which could be termed a "medical treatment") were huge successes, with universally positive…

I was under the impression it was more of a distribution problem than a quantity problem? This chart suggests we're building on the order of 1.5 million units of housing per year, …

Also a firmware engineer. I see 4 career paths under the advent of AI: 1. If you can't beat em, join em - get a masters in ML or something and work at a higher level of the stack. …

Agreed on all points! Very plausible that 250W is peak; other motors on the market vary whether they state peak or sustained so the waters are a little muddy (e.g. I know that the …

Also curious what "50%" means in their specs; the top power for the motor is 250W and top speed of 25kph would take ~100W on flat ground, which would throw off your calculations co…

This is an interesting alternative to existing kits where you need to replace a wheel (hub-drive) or do surgery on your bottom bracket (typical mid-drive). It also appears to not n…

It's difficult to explain without spoilers... one of the characters feels significantly more fleshed out and real because of some artistic choices in the voice acting. I am not sur…

NXP also has an automotive line of chips called S32. In addition to only some of that line being 32-bit, it's terribly confusing to have those juxtaposed with STM32... would be nic…

I consider myself a "cyclist" (love OLH, but my personal favorite is Marin Headlands) and picked up an e-bike conversion kit a few years ago. I still have a separate road bike for …

Every instance in the source article uses lower case; not sure if they changed it or the title just got mangled when posting

That would just be a webcam, and there are tons of them out there that don't (to my knowledge) get any blowback. Example I saw in person a couple years ago (Estes Park, CO): https:…

Where do you see that? Their website, plus the linked article, say $200.

Close, but it's a little bit different than how you describe it. The router is connected between the phone and the other devices in this user's scenario. The default TTL on Linux a…
