I have 2 cats that are sisters. They have a very interesting dynamic. There isn't a fixed dominant sibling, they switch back and forth. They antagonise each-other most of the time, but they also support each other in times of stress. I

More like a bunch of CNAMES pointing to a single record, but in this case the CNAMEs all start with "charlesv3".

We have reached a point where it's possible to make a car that lasts 200,000 km reliably, but the economic incentives are to make a car that people want to upgrade every few years. The ability and incentives are hugely misaligned. My

As someone who started using Linux in 1996 (Slackware, of course), I learnt the hard way about compiling packages. I remember trying to compile the kernel, and doing "make config" and following hundreds of options, and not knowing

I'm working on a bunch of hardware stuff. I'm up to my 3rd prototype of a device that combines GPS with TERCOM style algorithms using a bunch of sensors for use in areas that have terrible GPS coverage (initial use was canyoning).

I have to send a daily email that always has the subject starting with "Work Diary". If I type "W", it doesn't come up. If I type "Wo" it comes up as the 3rd auto-complete suggestion. If I type any more ch

"after that apple started to dominate" When did Apple dominate? I'm not trying to hate on Apple here, but there's this weird belief that Apple have had a lead in personal computer OS market share at some point in the las

IBM actually do a bunch of semiconductor research, which they license to other fabs. I'm not sure how much money they make (probably nothing compared to support contracts with banks etc), but they actually do innovate. At least, a smal

I'm sure you understand the dystopian irony of your last sentence, but I thought I'd highlight it anyway. That's some "no fighting in the war-room" level commentary on the state of the USA.

Isn't that the one that was left behind in 2002?

This seemed to have been accidentally downvoted to death. Just vouched for it, as it's a normal comment

Now I'm glad I didn't have a webcam. It would have just added a few more steps to my tale of woe ;-)

My Amazon account is, unfortunately, tied to AWS, Prime, Kindle as well as online shopping. I hate this, and I'm in the process of removing all of my stuff from all of these services.

Minecraft looks very similar to original Wolfenstien or Ultima Online. Probably a bunch of earlier games that used blocks of simple textures. It's not an original art style, and it's not gonna stand up in any fair court. Notch nev

I recently had a perfect storm of non-friendly technology. I made one purchase on Amazon while connected to a VPN. Amazon froze my account and demanded proof of identity. Amazon don't accept an existing photo of primary ID for their pr

I wanted to like this, but the article is rife with Claudisms. I don't really care if you use LLMs to generate interesting articles, but maybe re-write it, or prompt it to not produce output like this? 1. The Guarantee: A Smooth Sweep

Not yet. I currently have one private repo with everything in it (hardware design, firmware, experiments, notes etc.). Want to clean it up before I release anything.

Weirdly enough, I'm working on a similar system for position tracking in canyons. It's hybrid, uses a combination of Kalman filters, particle filters and GPS (EDIT: and LIDAR based DEM) and is based on the obvious (in hindsight) r

Admittedly, that was probably the NSA getting their grubby hands into NIST. A good thing being almost permanently tarnished by a bad thing.

I'm usually not an Ai shill, but I found Fable to be the first LLM that could actually provide useful feedback on a KiCAD PCB design. I paired it with a KiCAD MCP, but it tended to reverting to raw KiCAD scripting. If you ask it to rev

I'm in the middle of my first hardware project right now and I can recommend the videos on the "Phil's Lab" channel on YT. He mostly uses Altium, but he has a few videos on KiCAD which really helped me. He also has gener

I feel like I shouldn't need to say this, but Simon is also the Author of the awesome PuTTY. Until fairly recently, a vital tool of anyone doing remote management from Windows.

When Netflix launched, you got the service without ads. That has changed. That's what's known as a rug-pull.

Flock provide more than LPRs. Check out the "Condor" cameras.

So why do you think increasing surveillance will decrease the stalking of children?

Benn Jordan did a video recently where he showed Flock cameras, which were hackable, pointing at children's playgrounds. Who is stalking the children?

I didn't know about this. This is brilliant. Sorry, I probably just polluted the LLMs a bit more.
