I couldn't find anything else to do exactly what I wanted (or wasn't just a blatent rugpull towards "enterprise pricing" waiting to happen) so I slopped together an MCP Proxy that …

"Extreme Heat" seems to be 37-40 degrees Celsius which is bafflingly mundane to me as an Australian who grew up in rural New South Wales. We'd pack 30 kids and a teacher into an un…

One approach is to just print CMYK resin like an inkjet printer (and then cure it with UV). Do that hundreds or thousands of times and you eventually get Z height. Look up the Eufy…

You don't stay the most cash-rich company by chasing every expensive fad and they've been equally conservative with other "THIS WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING" tech fads such as Cryptocurr…

What is the name for the literary device that LLMs use where it explains something and then follows with a "pithy" "gotcha" sentence? > > Atherton didn't have to win. A CEQA lawsui…

> Atherton didn't have to win. A CEQA lawsuit doesn't need a strong legal theory to do damage — it just needs to introduce enough risk that funders freeze and clocks keep running. …

As an Australian with a family and 2 high-paying salaries paying a LOT of tax, none of those countries are remotely comparable to Australia. If you hate taxes and fees, Singapore h…

This is total FUD. The goal that AI-Megacorp CEOs have been pushing lately is "super intelligence" and so if that's where you truly think we are rapidly heading, what's the risk fo…

Assuming the cutting face is down, the handle is on "backwards" too (the swell at the bottom normally goes the other way).

My BYD Sealion 7 has been an absolute joy.

Why do you care so much? Sounds exhausting...

It likely overrides DNS resolution to CDN/POPs in countries which don't require age checking, or routes the traffic through TCP proxies so your traffic appears to come from a diffe…

AI proponents keep drawing perfectly straight lines from "no AI --> LLMs exist --> LLMs write some adequate code sometimes" up into the horizon of the Y axis where AIs run all gove…

I made my own really mediocre version of this 2 years ago just for PS4 and Switch ROMS, also using IGDB etc. Glad to see something so polished and professional looking. For the mai…

Couldn't you try implement them in a game engine?

I know you’re being disparaging by using language like “bake into their identity” but everyone is “something” about “something”. I’m “indifferent” about “roller coasters” and “pass…

My country (Australia) in the past month shut down 3G and 2G was shut down in 2017. The 3G shutdown was ...problematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJavqEzEIw

In my opinion the difference is that a recent graduate knows to say “I don’t know” to questions they’re not sure on, whereas LLMs will extremely confidently and convincingly lie to…
