How does having an alter-ego make it deeply ironic that he complains about secret cliques? I don’t get it. I’ve been supporting Hector since week 1 of the Asahi project and I think it’s a shame he’s thrown in the towel but I can understand

Thank you for this Beej! Along with many others here, your network programming guide helped me so much back in the early days of my education and career. So thanks for that too…

Kind of related to your point… I remember my maternal Grandmother was looking after me one day and I’d either missed or skipped my earlier vaccination appointment in school (which, I think was a BCG or booster, it was in the early 1990s).

An 18 year old lad from my village, who had just started a job programming, bought a drug from an online “pharmacy” and it turned out to be spiked with a synthetic opioid (N-pyrrolidino-etonitazene) and he died in his sleep at home, alone.

I don’t the comparison with a sports car is particular fair. I regularly drive both a 2011 Prius and a 2023 BMW X1 “mild hybrid”, I’ve also test driven an iX1 electric and X3 “real” hybrid recently (all practical family cars). In order of i

It’s not really that bad. You can run some fairly big models on an Apple Silicon machine costing £2k (M4 Pro Mac Mini with 64GB RAM).

Do we really need to allow Industrial use of RF across the whole spectrum though? Maybe we need a new definition of public use at “reasonable EIRP” without the industrial heating and whatever other weird uses of RF are out there.

Thanks for pointing this out. Bartosz absolutely deserves some paid support for his efforts.

This isn’t an exaggeration ! We get but one or two of his articles per year but they always delight the kids and big kids too. No cookie banner, no pop ups, no sponsored links or ads. Just amazing hand-crafted web content.

We could just copy the Dutch road design manual, flip it for the UK and be done with it. This is basically perfect.

I can see the value in a _choice_ between billing limits and billing alerts, for those customers who don’t want their resources ever to be forcibly shut down, but you’re right in saying that choice should be front-and-centre during account

Did you try udp/443 to see if OVH clobber that traffic ? I was quite hoping that the advent of QUIC would let us all use UDP again, albeit on one port.

That begs the question: why am I still paying for access to Opus 3 ? Honestly I don’t know. I’ve not been using Sonnet 3.5 up to now and I’m a fairly light user so I doubt I’ll run into the free tier limits. I’ll probably cancel my subscr

It doesn’t. The author is dreaming that airships might be able to just drop cargo off anywhere and I guess customs just happens in software somehow. Nor is it clear how they are refuelled, or how they are immune from the same fluctuations

TFA Dostmann make an “Airco2ntrol mini” which is USB powered (and you can pull the readings over USB too) and has a nice little red-amber-green light system on the front (as well as the LCD) for easy reference. It’s about £85. It has a du

Yes. You can do actual useful stuff with electricity no matter where it came from, like smelting aluminium, training AI models or desalinating water. Wasting it on mining bitcoin is literally the last thing we should be doing with spare en
