Cargo ships are so stupidly big that crew accommodations are a rounding error in the volume. Much bigger concerns are equipment breaking down in the middle of the ocean without anyone able to affect repairs.

I have no idea what CSS 1.0 looked like, but I suspect it was an entirely different world when he made that statement. At that time, the web was really just blobs of text with the most minimal formatting. Not the basis for trillion dollar c

That sounded unbelievable, but Wikipedia supports it[0]. Last US federal execution in 2003-03-18 was followed by 2020-07-14. The first person executed in 2020 had been on death row for 21 years. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/

I was assuming that the author would have used a similarly old Python release. If not, then you are correct, and I got needlessly hung up on that.

I think this article could have been more compelling with a more recent Django project. Django 2.0 officially supported Python ends at 3.7. Python 3.7 is out of support. Still annoying it does not work seamlessly, but I have foolish hope th

Super appreciate your reverse calculation. The downstream 14% loss still is an easy enough fudge factor to use for a plausible output number.

So, the bottom line is that the simple kWh/day/m2 * panel efficiency * m2 of panels should be within the theoretical ballpark of generation, but the real world is a harsh mistress and will undercut you. On that calculator resource

Wondering if anyone could help shore up my understanding or point out a resource to get me a better handle on this. Using the solar maps from here[0], you can find the kWh/day/m2 for the US. If I am in a say 5.7 kWh/day/

Wheels of justice grind slowly and all that, but I was really hoping to see more formal government investigations by this point. Especially given the Russian hackers who had previously shutdown the trains.

Ooof. I really need to pick up another HD, these model sizes are killer. Lacking a godly GPU, I will probably hold off for a quanitized version which has the potential to run okish on CPU or my modest GPU, but really appreciate the info.

For those of us without twitter, how many GB is the model?

Tangentially, I am just remembering I never followed up on what happened with those trains that detected if they were in an enemy repair facility.

I think the llamafile[0] system works the best. Binary works on the command line or launches a mini webserver. Llamafile offers builds of Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct, so presumably they may package this one up as well (potentially a quantized for

Thanks for the tip, that does look like it might be enough for me to get over the hump. For anyone else looking, it is "Gui for JJ" https://github.com/gulbanana/gg

What is the going rate for a bucket of cicadas? The logistics of transportation sound tricky. Am I scooping up dead cicadas? If live, transporting the bulk intact is going to be fun. I am imagining broke teenagers balancing squirming bucket

Don't forget the Jupyter notebook ecosystem. Having a nice REPL environment where you can quickly iterate on code is a huge boon compared to a language which might have a slower feedback cycle. This is incredibly important in an enviro

Certainly working for Nintendo. Does the NES mario game require any porting effort? Yet it gets repeatedly sold on their virtual stores.

This does not seem an impossible problem for the likes of Microsoft. They own all of the Xbox APIs and backwards compatibility is in their DNA. Especially now that consoles are just regular computer hardware with a funny hat. I think the bu

I am super interested in this, and would love to to hear if people have any user experience with the tool thus far. On paper, it hits all of the right notes: full git compatibility so I can silently use a superior tool, Rust so it is cross

Even if it were an external tool, I fail to understand how there would be a legal problem. Companies use all sorts of shenanigans to encourage users to migrate. Immoral? Sure, but software crossed that bridge a long time ago. Heaps of peopl

How much leeway does HR have to yank earned benefits? After two decades of doing the work, seems like they are entitled. If someone lied about getting a degree, would HR pull the 401k after a 20 year career? Faked a few certifications? Any

When you are before a judge who is questioning your identity, seems like the time to pull out all the stops. Childhood friends, neighbors, pastor, estranged parents.

Yet it is the status quo expectation. If you offer up an alternative, do not be surprised if people expect it to be comparable in all features.

Is that on a SD card? My expectation is that SD cards are garbage and any number of IO access patterns break down vs a SSD.

I thought the latest Doom was released "accidentally" without the DRM[0]. Not the first time the studio forgot to properly bake the DRM into the final product. [0] https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesda-accidentally-left
