It's very annoying when reading books or watching movies in English. "A 5-feet tall monster ...". As a reader I have no idea if that's big or small.

As others already mentioned, there are lots of shakes for that. I have tried the following (mostly European): - Soylent: the original (first). Ok, but not my favorite. - Mana: I like their powder version (more than the drinks). Especially g

Usually it's per consumed/produced kWh: https://app.electricitymaps.com/ Thanks to solar Germany is mostly in the middle of the pack right now.

In Denmark most providers charge you hourly rates. Here is, for example, the page of my current provider: https://www.ok.dk/privat/produkter/el/priser This page doesn't yet include the additional costs (

Note that Toit has nothing to do with JavaScript or the Web. It was from the beginning designed to run on embedded devices.

The current (and past) electricity prices in most of Europe can be found on nordpool. Three days ago, in Denmark, prices went as low as -41.37Eur/MWh (where 100Eur/MWh is a common price otherwise). https://www.nordpoolg

I have connected my esp32s to chat (telegram) and openai. With the correct prompt and an interpreter they can now execute requests in human language: https://medium.com/p/3242af6f2988

For games I'm usually on lichess, but for puzzles I tend to use chesstempo.com. I find their quality just better.

Uses OpenAI API calls to translate human requests to a small language that is then interpreted by an interpreter on the ESP32. Runs entirely on the microcontroller.

Yeah... That would be hard to do in the limited memory of the ESP32. Main issue is the cost of TLS connections.

Did something similar (without voice) that runs on an esp32. This way I don't need any server or keep my desktop machine running. Supports Telegram and Discord. https://github.com/floitsch/ai-projects/tree&#x2

Maybe give Toit (toitlang.org) a try. We have been working on it for a few years now, and it gets more and more complete. Recently Espressif started contributing as well (and added Toit to their esp-idf installer). Some selling points of To

Google's business model is absolutely not built around privacy invasion, and their model is built around data collection of public data. If, for some reason, they couldn't use personalized ads anymore, they would simply earn less,

I have worked at Google (although in a different department). From what I could see there was never intentional hurting of other browsers. However, given a list of (always too long) TODOs, improving a non-critical feature for 10% of users o

That's not true for many people. When working at Google, developers generally open-source their private projects (which are legally owned by Google) under a Google umbrella, with a Google copyright. This rarely stops developers. When I

Shell scripting also inspired some choices (especially syntax) of the Toit language (toitlang.org). Clearly, it's for a different purpose, and there are some things that wouldn't work in a general-purpose language that isn't

The European Union looked into unifying Europe's plugs. They decided that the cost was not worth it. I would have been happy to switch to a unified European plug. Iirc, the proposal was actually quite decent. https://www.eur

I use it for Toit (toitlang.org). It's not perfect, but still incredible useful (and sometimes scary; in a good way). I particularly like it for writing tests, but it's useful in normal code too.
