I wouldn't say a road barrier had any positive effect on the situation. What probably saved the situation is that a 20 year old golf handles way better in a slip than the cheapest of current cars (at least back then in 2015) which was

The point I was trying to make is that from crash safety point of view an upper tier car(for example a well equipped golf) made 20 years ago might be a lot safer than a cheapest modern car(at least here in EU where safety standards in 2000

When it works it is great. I've been using it instead of Google a lot too, but when it makes mistakes it requires someone familiar with a subject to detect it. I'm not sure if it is ready to be used as as a search engine by everyo

I tend to drive almost exclusively older cars. Once I had an accident in a 15 year old golf (this was around 2015 so the golf was made in around year 2000). This was basically emergency breaking on wet road at motorway speeds(about 130kph o

Not the original poster, but I recommend zoneminder(open source) software. I do the same as the parent. I have an old cpu in a server that does motion detection on multiple h264 HD streams and only once (zone based) motion is detected it fe

Same here. Recently I saw a dvd for sale of a game I was once interested in for really cheap (it was Need for Speed released in 2015). I was interested until I saw the text on the dvd "the game requires a permanent Internet connection

There is (for many, but not all large models). Specifically there is huggingface's accelerate library that let's you run the model partially on your gpu, partially on cpu/ram and what doesn't fit in ram is cached in nvme

This is a nice effort if it allows you to run bloom 170B in 1s per token. Just for comparison sake. With a last gen Ryzen cpu (16core) it takes me about 90s to run the model with 32gb ram (the entire model uses few GB of nvme storage too, a

It depends what you want to use it for. For me as a hobbyist specs definitely matter. But I woukd divide boards that I use into : mostly microcontrollers. Those are fine with a low clock if they have lots of hardware io (spi, uarts, pwm, i2

Definitely yes. Parents tell their kids to "close their mouth" etc. Being seen in public with your mouth open is seen as impolite/a sign of some mental issues.

The censorship layers are unreliable _yet_. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the main purposes of this public "research preview" is to find as many of those chatGPT jailbreaks as possible and neuter them. I've tried lot

I recently started using an old Fujitsu Primergy s100 1u server with a Xeon cpu. I was supprised it usually runs on moderate load at (self reported) 35W (including two spinning hdds and a max-clocked Google edgetpu). For me this was a pleas

I'm not sure why we're still promoting Rpi's. Between production issues and scalpers it is easier to buy a 35 year old vintage machine than Rpi's. Furthermore nothing listed in this article can't be done by a generi

You know what helps (me)? Coming from the start with knowledge the success rate is about 10%. Some may say such "negative thinking" dooms your endeavour from the start. I disagree. One can be really committed and still know in the

Seriously, is this necessary in an article about Jack Ma? "The growing wealth gap gave rise to populism in forms such as Britain's exit from the European Union"? It so oversimplified it hurts my brain. Same about the rest of

It is not just nostalgia. I recently bought a dual core Pentium 2.2Ghz motherboard with a cpu and ram plus a half height desktop case(with an itx PSU) from the same era all including shipping for $15. Out those $15 almost $10 was shipping.

If Chinese didn't break their economy by silly covid lock downs that _still_ continue we wouldn't have shortages in the first place. Also I'm in favour of not calling it shortages, but "price gauges bonanza" as that
