I was hoping to this would be an lte-wifi router. Unfortunately it isn't. I wish we had open source modern lte hardware, but it's not just that we haven't got any open source stuff. There is barely any commercial stuff either

I came here to say exactly the same. Where is any substance in this article? What are the capabilities of the chips? How many Tflops can they do? I'm not buying it. I have a couple of Google's (mini) Edge TPUs doing object recogn

Of course they can, but they can't do these and sell/buy stocks involved at the same time. It's not illegal to influence stocks value (one could argue just being a CEO does that), but buying/selling while in possession o

The title is wrong. They don't "blame ad blockers" they admit they slow down ad blockers. So it is their conscious choice, not some sort of "adblockers cause issues" thing.

I haven't. I only read about it. Perhaps the picture changes the meaning of it a lot.

I read half way through that article and I still don't understand how did they manage to fit aircon on these trains. There were various ideas over the years including for the trains to carry ice, but none stuck. This time they finally

So where is the catch? Because there is always a catch. It's either that it needs a tiny amount of extremely expensive ingredients (palladium?), or it requires extremely advanced manufacturing techniques? Or its both cheap and easy to

In a microfpv world (tiny drones) it used to be pretty common to overvolt li-ion batteries to fill them "beyond 100%". These days manufacturers sell you batteries rated to charge to 4.35V,but they don't last long this way. So

I'm not convinced. On these few occasions where an AI chat bot went out, did a Google search and responded with results the quality of that answer was always much worse than if it just replied from it's training data. This of cour

The problem with Meta is wider than their relationship with their users and advertisers. Many sites that contain "Facebook like" buttons etc allow Meta tracking anyone that browses these sites, profiling, and serving personalised

I'm exactly the same. I can't understand how one can confuse the two...

Seriously? This is just silly. Everyone knows the barrier to terrorists using bio weapons is not specialist knowledge, but access to labs, equipment, reagents etc. It's the whole Guttenberg's printing press argument. "Whoaa h

These are nice pools, but I wonder how power efficient these old buildings are... The Bauhaus one reminded me of the (at the time only) public swimming pool in a small town in Nort-East Poland built in a brutalist style I learned to swim in

Exactly. There is no way a significantly smaller connector with way more pins can be as robust as a large one with less pins. It is 100% horseshit. My anecdote to add, but this time comparing USB-c power delivery with the lowly ~8mm barrel

False, in Poland you report income on crypto when you sell and you realise gains. The parent is saying in the US you have to tick a box on a tax form just because you bought some crypto. PIT38 is about reporting income from capital gains, i

It's important to note there are extra charges on top of the electricity price that are counted per kwh. Here in Poland we have transmission charges that are almost the same amount as per kwh so the total variable cost is 2x per kwh co

Well, I have signed up for copilot initially but I held out with gpt plus. I cancelled copilot pretty quickly as I wasn't really using it much, but then I signed up to chatgpt plus. It is worth it because of better access (no more &quo

Somehow I get the vibe this is all about: Let's advance this tech as much as possible - (outgoing ceo) and Let's worry more about "safety" (the rest of the board). If that is the case I don't predict good things for

In Poland there is no checkbox on a tax forms to say "you've dealt with crypto", but every transaction over 10K EUR is reported to the gov, and when I was a UK tax resident with a Polish bank account my Polish bank asked for

I'm probably the last person to praise the German government for anything, but one has to recognise a good decision. The next question is, why so little and only to Gnome?

Wow, somehow I missed all that despite being a contractor for about half of 20+ years of working in this industry... Perhaps it is a USA thing? Although I worked for a couple of US companies remotely and I never noticed it. I'm current

This is interesting, it reminds me of the (sort of) famous "tree hanging" exercise. Which goes like this. Go to a wooded area, find a tree with a strong branch above your head. Grab it and hang off it for a while. Do it daily for
