Yep, web serial okay but not bluetooth? "We can't make it secure". Yes you can. No web bluetooth from inside an iframe, always require consent to select a device and connect to it. Sure, I suppose it could enable more scams b

Probably quite a lot - if you look at what Anthropic found around persona vectors; https://www.anthropic.com/research/persona-vectors . I imagine the context will always sway the model to some degree, not only for the t

For sure. If you watch x device repair videos they tend to flood the general area with flux and it works to great effect.

Depends on mass/element power. My TS101 heats up in like 3-4 seconds (330c) on a 100W laptop PD USB C. It doesn't have a lot of mass but it's perfect for microcontroller related stuff. Just not power electronics.

Not just those things but the biggest helper of all: a set of helping hands. Dios mio, what an absolute pain soldering is without something holding everything in place. It's literally a night and day purchase.

Lmao are people really -ing me because I don't like Python. Tribalism is present in all areas of human life I suppose. You people should grow up. Programming languages are tools, not pets.

I mean it's nice that someone helped you but if you're incapable of turning such a setting off yourself, or doing some basic research to find out how to turn it off - surely you'd feel threatened by the numerous other feature

I think that pseudocode aspect is what makes it hard/frustrating to read for me. I'm more of a c++/TS/etc user, so I miss braces a lot. I think a basic Python script sure it's easy to read through, but a large proje

I could see how this would be the case. I think we reached peak "electricity" for the consumer decades ago. You know...when our TVs were a giant electron gun pointed as a phosphor screen whilst the room was lit with a filament of

Agree with your point on them being loaded up with spyware etc because that's just how it is now I suppose. In terms of maximising compute I kind of agree but also kinda not - people's laptops and phones aren't burning at 100

Eh I think the small model thing is kind of a no-go. Reason being is that many workloads for AI are dynamically mixed, where training from multiple subjects comes into play and you just can't know exactly what mix will be required for

Tbf I've always hated that about HN formatting as it's not very clear at all that that's how it works. If there's a newline in my comment, why not retain it? Whyyyyy?!

Nope. Because late stage capitalism demands endless growth in order to pay executives and shareholders (especially those late to the train) more and more YoY. And those requirements for growth mean that cost cutting is needed. Over the past

Yeah agree. Having to rewind the motors just adds yet another task to the list for someone trying to build this thing. Also BLDC based motors in bots seem to be popular now, used to be steppers and harmonic drives from what I remember readi

There's the mech/EE equivalent of crud, too. Plus the demand is higher for software than it is for hardware most of the time. Pretty hard to find jobs in robotics compared to all the various kinds of software.

Borehole or the pipe grid they stick under your backyard/garden (if you have a decent sized one) end up way more expensive. But tbf, AI and robotics are rolling along pretty well. I'm surprised there's not a company that'
