I had a surprisingly positive experience with Gemini optimizing some mathy MPS code. It did far better than claude. Of course, when I tried it on something else it rewrote every line in the file for no good reason, applied changes directly

Do we really care if an LLM regurgitates information already available in public about the design of nuclear weapons? They're not being trained on restricted material. (My personal guess is that you don't want them answering quest

Oh, I dunno - I haven't downvoted it, but if I did, it would be for the idea that you "have to" give money to someone you don't want to just for a slight improvement. That's garbage. You don't have to. It'

Openat appeared in Linux in 2006 but not in FreeBSD until 2009; go started being developed in 2007. It probably missed the opportunity by a year. It would have been the right thing to change the os module at some point in the last 18 years,

I've been testing it out by using it to create the quizzes for a course I'm teaching this semester. My conclusion is that it's well worth finding a way to try it out. Drastically reduces the amount of boilerplate. (I haven&#x

Thank you for finding this - the original is a really interesting article. (@dang - consider re-pointing to this?)

No, I just pre-fill a cup with hot water from the steam wand (it has a hot water mode) and then pull a double shot of espresso into it. (That's technically an Australian long black but I like it better - it leaves the crema on top.)

Most modern ethernet chips, including those used on USB ethernet devices, have adaptive interrupt coalescing (or moderation) for network I/O, which renders this likely not as big a deal as it once was. There will still be limits on pac

I finally gave in and got a breville bambino plus and I have no regrets. It was $400 on sale, produces quite decent espresso, foams milk well, has been very reliable, and doesn't heat up the kitchen - I held off getting an espresso mac

As others have noted, urban gas stations are likely to be far less busy in an EV world due to the ease of distributed charging -- home, work, destination, etc.; But I think you raise a good model for long-haul. I think of the pennsylvania t

What's nice there, though, is that the total amount of _energy_ needed at a charging station is roughly fixed( ), regardless of how fast you charge the cars. So if you're provisioned for the needed total energy inflow, you can to

If you get 400km per charge using 88% of the battery (98% -> 10%), that's 400,000km (258,000 miles) before you're down to 90%, at which point you have likely worn out an awful lot of other things with the car. Admitting that I

Ditto. I've mostly stopped using anchovies for everyday Caesars. The fish sauce trick is just too easy and tastes great.

I think it's less about blaming us for boycotting Tesla and more about blaming us for letting our entrenched interests in both oil extraction and ICE cars prevent us from investing in EV development and switching to them faster.

You can get them used for that price, and new for $107 if you buy qty 10+. See signature solar as one example. Installation costs and inverters not included, however.

No provider maintains 100% utilization of GPUs at full rate. Demand is bursty - even if this project is successful, you might expect, e.g., things to be busy during the stock market times when Claude is throwing API errors and then severely

@eigengajesh - Your cost estimator lists Mac Mini M4 Pro with only 24 or 48GB options, but the M4 Pro mini can also be configured with 64GB. At least, I hope so, as I'm typing this on one. ;-) Oh, also, you seem to have some bugs: Gemm

I don't. The batteries will last longer than 10 years. The 10 year typical advertised lifetime of lifepo4 is to 80% capacity, and I'll just keep on using them. The actual payoff calculation is a lot messier than that because you h

You're getting downvoted but it's a reasonable question if posed in good faith. The tl;dr is that there are really a few options for what could happen to those orange peels: (1) Landfill burial (1a) Without methane capture an

I don't sell mine, but I time-shift with a small pile of batteries (about 10kWh) and it's pretty reasonable. I save about usd $30/month. It's basically a big ups that will pay for itself in ten years, and I get backup po

The pile of shell and sed is cleaning up the ai output and then running it in the shell. The instruction to the AI was to create _a_ shell command. So it's a random shell command generator (maybe).

I find it kind of helpful and interesting to see a subset of these called out with a bit of data. Helps keep my LLM detector trained (the one in my brain, that is) and I think it helps a little about expressing the community consensus again

As a specific example: The generated diagram showing the expression tree under "build in python" is simply wrong. It doesn't correspond to the expression x * 2 + 1, which should have only 1 child node on the right. The "

It's written in rust, but why do you believe it was co-authored with Claude? The README in github specifically says: > This project was built using Gemini CLI https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko
