That would be pretty cool if the model was a little more useful, but it isn't very good. And the guardrails are hilariously bad. cmd print first and last line from stdin $ echo -n …

According to StatsCan it is actually a bit more, but varying year-to-year. Pre-Covid it looks like it was closer to 27% or 28%, now closer to 26%. So a lot of room to grow, if we m…

You could always just implement an interface such as apprise or webhooks and leave the complexity of SMS (cost) or other types of notifications up to the selfhoster.

"Justine" is what some people who disapprove of him are calling him. It's a mocking conspiracy theory that JT's wife left him due to him being transexual.

Looks like the created cell is 614 Wh/L from the above comment. Gasoline is ~2.2kWh/L [0]. So my take is that even with the created cell the density is not going to be an issue wit…

Looks like 66% of people 75+ identify as European Origins math 1_710_255/2_595_470 0.658938 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=981003...

Neat, but this looks very specialized for a single person's config. I wouldn't want to run this on my machine seeing as it removes apt sources and does a bunch of other system chan…

From what I have gathered, I assume average age of registered vehicles. I would also assume that collector cars would "pollute" the statistics, unless they are filtered out -- the …

Screens are more expensive than buttons and knobs. Making the screen into a touch screen with a digitizer is cheaper than buttons and knobs. So if you already have a screen, making…

Touchscreens are more expensive than buttons and knobs. But screens are required by law in the USA and EU as they require backup cameras. And a digitizer is a lot cheaper than some…

Isn't that just a (expensive) library? And libraries are constantly being lobbied against by publishing groups, yet there doesn't seem to be major harm (financial) caused by them.

It's a legal requirement for motorized bicycles in BC (Canada), crazy that it isn't a requirement for automobiles.

I have had decent success using https://www.monicahq.com > for journaling and birthday reminders.

As best I can tell[1], BCHydro isn't subsidized, unless you count the land usage grants from the province (but the water flow stability is useful for irrigation, so it has other be…

Same with BCHydro. Not the cheapest, but still cheap. Much better than being at the whims of shareholders.

> The fact that not doing additional free work is framed as "quitting" is both ridiculous and sad. Yeah, that's something I thought was strange in the article. My understanding of …

> importing scrap wood long distances, such as from the US From Western Canada too, and it isn't scrap. It's good timber that could otherwise be milled into lumber.

Isn't that the point though? There is no need to make chat flow builders and pay the "handful of smart people" to figure them out. If AI costs were reaching very high levels perhap…

It isn't a firewall, it's a DNS server that returns fake results for entries in its blocklist.

I'm personally a fan of the mono-microlith (or whatever people call it), where you compartmentalize the monolith so that it's a just a flag of what "micro-services" are enabled on …

Yeah, apparently well enough to run a web service off of iPhone image recognition! https://findthatmeme.com/blog/2023/01/08/image-stacks-and-ip...

Yeah, if I was polish I would be pro-(whatever would save me from Russia).

I think it was just you. The bias I got was that of anti current contractors and pro SpaceX. I feel this way since he implied that complex operations, such as refuelling in space, …

"Signing up for NATO" aka blackmailing their way into NATO in Poland's case. They really wanted into NATO. There wasn't an eastward expansion from NATO, the east came to NATO.
