It's a bit puzzling to me, how many YouTube mirroring tools are available out there. If you're using something like that, what's your reason to download/archive the videos instead of just streaming them from YouTube? I g

PS: this is not a recommendation to buy Fazua, they seem to have quite mixed reviews regarding reliability.

This seems hard to do in my opinion. There are a lot of hard to predict factors, like aerodynamics (riding behind another rider takes much less power) and wind. Also the speed and power measurements are usually not extremely precise. There

Isn't 5k$ more like an entry level bike nowadays? I think people are easily spending 10-20k for a bike, just to feel a tiny bit faster and to brag about it to their friends.

Because road cycling is 95% pushing the endurance/strength of the human body to the limits. Most other sports are a combination of many different skills. Road cycling is mostly about pushing the pedals as strong as possible for the dur

Isn't the powermeter usually measuring tension forces on the pedal arms? So it won't measure the forces of a motor which is probably inside one of the bearings.

Just get a regular pedelec that doesn't look like a regular pedelec. For example something from Fazua ( https://fazua.com/ ), it doesn't scream pedelec right away, still it provides decent electric support and can a

I had a similar experience with ChatGPT and larger documents. Even basic RAG tasks don't work well (RAG = Retrieval-augmented generation). The most basic Langchain RAG examples performs much better. The usual approach is to split up th

Is anyone who knows about this still buying Intel? Seems like taking quite a risk.

So CrowdStrike has direct access to a lot of critical infrastructure? LOL.

by andix 2y ago
It's not perfectly clear yet if CrowdStrike is able to push executable code via those updates. It looks like they updated some definition files and not the kernel driver itself. But the kernel driver obviously contains some bugs, so it

Exactly. It's ridiculous to open up all/most of a companies systems to such a single point of failure. We install redundant PSUs, backup networks, generators, and many more things. But one single automatic update can bring down al

How sure are we, that this was not a cyberattack? It seems really scary to me, that crowdstrike is able to push updates in real time to most of their customers systems. I don't know of any other system, that would provide a similar met

This article establishes, that things aren't any more like you experienced them in the past. It certainly wasn't all great in the past for young people, but statistics show it's way worse now.

Still the happiness levels seem to drop in both "systems" equally.

I don't think that poverty and money has such a big effect on happiness, as long as the basic needs are covered (food and a dry/clean bed to sleep). There was a lot of happiness in Eastern European countries during the communist t

I don't think so. It's probably a real threat to human survival, but most people lack the perspective to recognize that. Humans are great at denial. I guess not even the majority see climate change as the biggest threat, there are

If you're an average person and don't require acceptance of diversity, the whole topic is miniscule. There are some newspaper articles discussing it, you just skip them, because you don't care. A new coworker tells you to cal

I think it's crucial to find out why this is happening. "Other than cell phones, I don’t have anything" is not good enough as a conclusion. It's the most obvious thing, but it could have numerous other reasons. It should

Around 10 years ago there were some Russian "illegals" captured in Germany. It was really a lot like in the TV show "The Americans". They seemed to have communicated a lot with radio and coded messages. They also used so

I think those old technologies are still around, because it's hard to train older spies on new technology. They learned that knowledge decades ago and would have a hard time to learn new things. So they let them use the stuff they know

It was just a thought based on a quick look at the screenshots. I didn't use it yet. I would use a tool like that as a low-code platform to quickly make data accessible. Might be a different use case than most users are looking for.

This is awesome, I hope I get a chance to use it once. One thought: I think the effort should be put into the UI for the non-technical end users, instead of query builders/developer experience. I would be even fine with a tool doesn&#x

Langchain was my first real contact with Python development, and it felt worse than Enterprise Java. I didn't know that OOP is so prominent in Python libraries, it looks like many devs are just copying the mistakes from Enterprise Java
