Wonder how it is like in other countries with shrinking populations. Say, Korea. Intuitively, it would make sense for housing prices to decrease when the demand decreases, supply b…

WiiM makes a few. With or without amp. It can be had for about ~40 refurbished from what I suspect to be their eBay store. Airplay 2. I have it hooked via optical to a soundbar.

Mazda 5?

A small transformer like BERT or variants is a better fit. It only takes a few examples, which can be generated synthetically using an LLM. Trains quickly and classifies speedily o…

They have quite decent hybrids now. I’m surprised that they haven’t released a plug-in one, since their architecture seems perfect for it. Maybe battery supply constraints. They ar…

And there are incentives to miss-report. My team has gained a reputation of being some sort of firefighting crew. We are being called by PMs when projects are failing, usually engi…

Fascinating. Borges is not shy in mentioning his admirations, and what he was exposed to. I like that he leaves breadcrumbs, or whole loaves, pointing to what he likes. It's an int…

Ficciones is full of mockings of intellectualism. I Particularly like the critique on the critical philosophical work of Menard's Quixote. Where Menard, the subject of the story, c…

I've found myself reading a bit of the rePalm posts for the last few night. Funny thing is that I find myself to have read and re-read that stuff for hours now, a bit at a time, re…

Their copilot stuff is such a mess. Over promising, dressed with marketing slop on top of an under-performing product. However; their azure offerings are somewhat decent. AI Search…

Dmitry is a mad genius. He has been doing stuff like this for 20 years, he was fixing palm’s issues for years. All his hardware projects are phenomenal, and so is his writing.

It has a rather poor max resolution. Higher resolution images get tiled up to a point. 512 x 512, I think is the max tile size, 2048 x 2048 the max canvas.

For a short while we had them in the US, on the Dodge darts and some other Fiat applications. 1.4 + multiair + sometimes turbo. Great little engine that powered my first car, a 200…

I would think so too. There is something else going though. It a system that relies partly on trust. A sort of moral asset with herd effects. It’s a system that can tolerate a cert…

Some people take find their life meaning through craft and work. When that craft is suddenly less scarce, less special, so does that craft-tied meaning. I wonder if these feelings …

Kids off school for thanksgiving?

Had good luck with Gemini 2.5, SAM3 failed miserably with PIDs.

Perfect! A great game to play on the fisher price Pixter: https://x.com/dmitrygr/status/1980508960538099856 (Dmitry is something else)

They can't inject to the http response, but ad servers that work with the VPN or their data brokers can better identify the requester and serve better targeted ads.

Losing faith in the value of the dollar in the face of our crazy fiscal position? The one thing that baffles me is energy prices. We haven't seen this oil/gold ratio since the pand…

They sell metadata. DNS queries, locations, apps using data, device info. Usually anonymized, but both unscrupulous and "better" providers do have access to your account and paymen…

Back when I was in oil and gas, we were thinking of using modified mirror less cameras without and IR filter for vegetation density calculations. There were a few vendors that sold…

Deniability and having a response for different lines of criticism. It derails the critic who operates under the assumption of a consistent narrative and meaningful arguments. It g…

Old too: But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; they said, “No! but we are determined to have a king over us, so that we also may be like other nations, and that …

Some cities have seasons. Some cities lack bike infra. Some people don't like bikes.
