I was a Gravis Ultrasound Max owner just for Second Reality. That was Art.

I do feel impaired around 1000ppm. I get headaches. At home I got a few Air Gradient Ones (no affiliation, but they are great) and connected those to my Home Assistant to turn up t…

This should be a red herring for Europe (and others using US models). Every non-American company is now at a disadvantage against American companies. The implications can not be ov…

I'd say the joke is on you ;-)

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be bro…

I have SentinelOne as part of my install. Since that got upgraded, my Mac started eating its battery during sleep. Possibly due to SentinelOne's network scanner, as that takes up 1…

You mean someone convicted of fraud using the money from that fraude to bolster her popularity was banned by a judge to compete in the elections. Also in the case of the Romanian c…

I've heard people on the radio (ha yes I listen to that ;-)) that they disagree with Le Pen being banned from running for president. That seems strange to me as this was public (eu…

VAT is applied on every good sold. So no. If you are able to produce cheaper and shipped cheaper than your EU competitor it will be cheaper when a consumer buys it. The consumer pa…

I wonder if there is a write guarantee, i.e. can we be certain the function only returns when the entry has been written to durable storage? Or is it best effort?

> Curious if a badge for “def not AI powered” would be a plus for some domains. LinkedIn posts come to mind. Definitely also food. Art.

I'm getting old. I really thought for a moment that the title was about Word Perfect 2.1. Dann I miss the underwater screen.

I'm in management, senior to executive level with a preference towards data / ai. I'm also a contributor and committer to some Apache projects and maintain a popular one myself. I'…

I'm pretty sure that the mechanical planetarium of Eize Eizinga from 1781 predates this "World's First". Maybe because it is projected? It's worth your visit btw. https://www.eisin…

I'm a hiring manager in the Netherlands. I would be happy that you ran away, because you would not have passed the bar. The hiring process I like to have in place is: 1. HR Intervi…

Of course. But if you can make the investment then the yield is more important to compare it against other investments.

Good question. It depends on how that would work. Meaning can I offset against the whole year and just get less money back per kWh or will it become seasonal or day pricing. Day pr…

Where do you get your numbers from? Right now, pre heat pump, I'm at 2000kWh usage and return to the net 4000kWh (so 2000kWh in excess). I use 750m3 of gas. This costs me 100e per …

He wasn't the guy who built it, he was the guy who got things funded. Let's see how many of the core OpenAI people join. I.e. the ones that weren't (just) there for the money / pos…

Financial data deals with cutoff times and those happen in a timezone. Thus particularly in finance timezones are important. You are right though that internally everything should …

Remember the Slashdot Effect? I'm not sure if it lives up to its expectations this time ;-)

Now let's see if Tata Steel will be true to it's words. They are trying to do the same in the Netherlands where it has been proven that they are emitting significantly more hazardo…

You do realize that this happened also on the article? I.e. In memory and autoinference

B12 is found in animal products because it's added to their diet. It doesn't come natural them. B12 you get from eating dirt, which we don't like to do.
