“ What will happen to democracy in a world where 100% of the population are 27/7 consumers?” …we’ll add three hours to our day? Bu seriously, I support what you are saying. This is why the entire consumer system needs…
> "Smart Local Control" home devices work as expected until the electronics fail Recently one of my Zigbee-controlled thermostats started pumping cold air constantly. To fix it, all I had to do was open and examine the…
You don’t need an LLM for this. Use `kubectl` to create a simple pod/service/deployment/ingress/etc, run `kubectl get -o yaml > foo.yaml` to bring it back to your machine in yaml format, then edit the `foo.yaml` file in…
Anaconda was a good idea until it would break apt on Ubuntu and make my job that much harder. That became the reason _not_ to use Anaconda in my book. venv made these problems start to disappear, and now uv and Nix have…
Oh sure! While we’re at it, let’s increase the existing dystopia by giving employers the ability to track our stress levels and let them “compensate” as they see fit…
Alphabet will definitely try to do that (within their business interest and all that), but I still choose to believe in the precept that “the net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it”, as old and…
I love the idea of this flake to run Ollama even on Windows, but just pointing people to your _everything_ flake is going to confuse people and make it look harder than it is to run Ollama on Nix. If you are using a…
Is it because pi isn’t measured, but calculated? The wikipedia article (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_constant) makes a distinction between a mathematical constant and a physical constant, stating that the…
How this article discusses reproducibility in NixOS and declines to even mention the intensional model or efforts to implement it are surprising to me, since it appears they have done a lot of research into the matter.…
“Even are ads are private…” I don’t think that’s possible. Modern advertisers require those sweet sweet metrics, which can never be truly anonymized, and in most cases attempts to anonymize are half-hearted at best.
One book not on that list that really threw me recently was The Anomaly [0]. The less you know about it going in the better. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anomaly_(novel).
Assume around $3/hr per H100 (pretty generous pricing for GCP), that is $2250/month-gpu, or for their fleet of 8000 comes to $18MM/month or around $216MM/year in just compute costs alone, not looking at SSD, bucket…
I disagree… the article talks about defining the meter using the pendulum and the second. Other planets would have their own definition of second, but not their own definition of pendulum. Since one meter is prescribed…
I can talk to the opposite side about why I am very happy going all in with NixOS. Prior to that I was running dual-boot Windows (for games) and Ubuntu (for coding). Despite all of the progress made on gaming on Linux,…
By the looks of it, the announcement webpage also breaks Tridactyl unnecessarily, so I doubt they are interested in supporting *vim... Joking aside, I would be shocked if someone doesn't quickly write a plugin for at…
One of the more interesting perspectives I gained about Lord Byron was when I learned of his support of the Luddites from reading the book Blood in the Machine[0], which I am surprised the posted article never mentioned…
Fun fact: if seems that if you use Lockdown mode on Apple devices you can't open PDFs from a browser (no official documentation says it but there is anecdotal evidence). This would allow people with Lockdown mode to…
IRL universities will probably develop a protocol to remove access to helper tools for this sort of thing, maybe metal detectors at the door and specially tailored computers if needed for quizzes. Online universities…
“There was a slight increase in risk of HZ in people receiving influenza vaccine in the first 1–15 days after vaccination.” That’s kind of overselling it, isn’t it? The OP study says that stroke chances are lowered for…
… why have the operator sit in the cab? If truly teleoperated, then wouldn’t it be safer for the operator to be in a room far enough from the robot so that if there is some accident that crushes the cab or sends…
You are looking for the price like I was, and many pages are trying to snare you onto “speak to a specialist” links. Let me spare you the trouble, as you are looking for this page:…
I will take a stab at this... it is about object localization via sound instead of sight, using very little power. For comparison, let's say you have a sound sensing setup on a Raspberry Pi, known for its low power…
There’s also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italki. But I actually have shied away from it, mainly because I get nervous talking in front of a live person who will be judging my capability as I talk. I much prefer the…
I think there’s a typing option: just click on the keyboard icon when entering a conversation?
I French press my grounds at home too, but I bring water to 200F (93C) instead of boiling, as I was taught in my barista days that boiling water makes the coffee too bitter. Are you supposed to use boiling water for…
