This story got kicked out of front page quite suddenly, not sure how/why. Lots of points and comments.
The author says that the resale value to PGE is 25% of the buying price. Is there some way to get a better rate by selling CPU time instead, when the sun shines and batteries are full? Especially if you have your own…

Actually now US citizens are impacted too. Michigan-based attorney Amir Makled [a US citizen] was detained by federal immigration agents while returning home from a family vacation…
I think this is an excellent discussion to have. Say we implement this, a natural consequence would be mega-corporations providing every service possible. My Yamaha bike displays a message to promote a Yamaha music…
Thanks for the link, I think this is helpful and the tips resonate with me. As I get older, the desires that "work" are very frequently the same ones as I had when I was a child.
I recently bought a new laptop, I did not buy the Office license for the first time and I am trying LibreOffice. It's been a month, so far it's great, I hope I will be able to stick to it. (I am an occasional user of…
I have been using Blender to design 3D models, since I had some knowledge of it. Wondering why not more people are using it for CAD. Are the other tools much better? Why?
What's the distance you need to cover ? BLE use very little power, is wireless, can go 100m or so, max.
I have seen videos of small turtles going really fast on tiny skateboards. All of a sudden, they become a fast animal and seem happy with it. A bit like human with a bike or a car. Feels like evolution is not as perfect…
I am wondering if many Open AI engineers feel mistaken today for having promised to follow Sam Altman to MSFT after the board action.
Very interested in your first rabbit hole. Which servos did you use? Which gears? For me, it would be to use with an action camera. How many hours did you spend on it before you were satisfied? I've seen some…
> It also should be considered [...] on chance To be fair to the author, this is very much mentioned. And yes, luck has played a role as well. We closed out 2023 with a near-perfect record, but not without a few close…
Really neat. Thank you for posting. Results are polluted for me with public transportation stations. I did not realize each of them had a wiki entry... of course geotagged. Not sure how much parsing/filtering is done.…

You are most likely right. In my dreams, I take the time going there in person with my ID, my anger and my badwill, and no tax return. I get wildly upset in front of all other clients in a very lively way, just to laugh…
I tend to agree with you. I have a bank account with about 5K euros on it. I have not touched it in 20 years (no deposits, no withdrawals). I earn tiny dividends on it each year. I got a request from the bank 18 months…
Nitpick of mine: timezones. I work in a different timezone than where I live, so my laptop is set to a different time for convenience. Half the time, the delivery time is adapted to my computer clock, half the time, to…
Then you should be interested in the story of MarketBasket, a major supermarket chain in New England. Their CEO was fired, but came back because of employees. Similar, in a very different industry.…
Can one guess printers email addresses and start spamming random printers? I dont see any way to register the sender's expected email on the printer. Back to fax spamming...?
