Well, maybe people should not own guns. At all. Any gun, let alone "a collection".

He indeed used to speak about him in the third person and would casually say "Alain Delon did this" (instead of "I did this"). He was widely mocked for it but he claimed it was a sign of "humility" (?!) because

Going through your comments I see that you answered this elsewhere, and said that videos are handpicked [0]. Congrats for the dedication this implies! So now my question is, how do you imagine this will work going forward? Do you plan on se

Great. Can you elaborate a little on how channels are populated? Do you search YT for tags and order by most recent videos first? Or do you do some manual curation?

Lovely and quite impressive. On the same topic the Brick Experiment Channel had a nice submarine build described here: https://brickexperimentchannel.wordpress.com/rc-submarine-4-...

Excellent article. Sorting the list is a really simple and neat idea, without the need for clustering or a special data structure.

Depends... Is it a good thing for the world that there are so many cars everywhere?

Agreed! Learning how to fly alone is the easy part. The hard part is all the rest. Also, this is inconsistent: > large commercial airplane technology has developed to the point that the planes practically fly themselves > We think

Thanks. Can't seem to make the loadable version work on Windows client (using .load and the latest x64 version of sqlite). On Windows 10 it says "Error: the specified module could not be found." On Windows 7 the error is more

Thank you for this, it's really super exciting! The link on See Installing sqlite-vec for more details. https://alexgarcia.xyz/sqlite-vec/installing.html is a a 404 (the correct link is https://alexga

Yes this is an excellent article, thank you. Do embeddings work across languages? It must depend on the model, but are there models where similar concepts in different languages occupy the same location in vector space? If yes it would allo

There are many shops all over the world that can install Bafang motors and service them should something break. (But it almost never breaks.)

My son plays the clarinet and uses an EWI with no difficulty? (He doesn't like it much though, and much prefers the real instrument. But he can play it.)

Macro is very good, and beautifully designed! Congrats and thanks for this.

Hello fellow Frenchmen! Physical modelling is really fascinating... Currently testing this and it sounds good! The UI is a little overwhelming though. But of course it's a difficult task to allow manipulating many parameters in a simpl

MIDI wind instruments have been around for a while now, including: - Akai EWI (one of the first MIDI wind instrument, and still well known and well used) - Roland Aerophone - Berglund NuRAD Have you tried them and where do you think they fa

Well, no. "Julius Caesar" with no other qualifier is Julius Caesar, even if other rulers also used the name. Otherwise it would be difficult to differentiate them.

by bambax 2y ago
Yes! But the rest of the sentence is equally wrong: > During the late Roman Empire, rulers like Julius Caesar and Nero Nero died in 68 AD: early Roman Empire. In fact he was only the 5th Roman emperor.

Google Maps in incognito says my position couldn't be determined. Apple Maps seems certain I'm where I'm not. Looks like a bug to me.

There doesn't seem to be any reverse geocoding available. "Current location" puts me over 200 miles from where I am. You can't click anywhere on the map to get directions, you have to either click a location (already ide

True! That's quite funny and shows how utterly pointless browser restrictions are.

Building your own ebike with a Bafang motor and an ordinary bike you have lying around (or a used one you buy specifically for that purpose) is easy and cheap, and works very, very well. It's true that ordinary Chinese battery packs do

I had this setup with a Netgear NAS (old and slow). I switched to a better NAS and Jellyfin and could not be happier. Well, I could be happier because Jellyfin has some quirks, but I'm pretty happy. The main difference is that it works

LuaRT ( https://luart.org/ ) came up here a couple of months ago; would it meet the requirements?
