What about Azure? Looks like it takes more revenue than Windows and Office put together.

if an AI could do it without an oscilloscope, probably a human could too.

For this person, it would have been cheaper to buy another tablet. If it also saves 10 other people from buying a new tablet, that seems to have been worthwhile?

I think you can buy premade LED grid arrays. I would take one of those and overlay one wire per row, one per column, in tension and suspended a few mm apart. You could use a translucent 3d-printed framework to stabilize the wires and have a

I envisioned something more like a flash mob where people stand in a grid and stand up/sit down based on the state of their cell...

You're right. I didn't think that through. Actually, that's probably the stupidest thing I said all day. (I hope so, anyways.) However, I'm skeptical that 32GB RAM is necessary for what they do on the edge. Claude seems

This gives me an idea for a (less il)legal alternative: hang "Big Brother is Watching" signs on all of the Flock cameras. Or maybe we can pass a law saying Flock has to do it. That seems like the ideal compromise.

Suppose you have a video service which takes context from previous videos you watched to show you more videos you're interested in. Doesn't sound very addictive, does it? You described it in an innocuous way, but I can absolutely

Actually, they do. I'm not sure if it's officially supported, but the 7550 (10th gen) and 7560 (11th gen) have the same motherboard layout, and users have reported swapping successfully in other models. You also see reports of use

Framework seems pretty popular here in general, but nobody really seems to talk about how repairable enterprise laptops are. Some laptops have clips around the edge of the bottom panel to hold it in place, which frequently break. On my brot

I visualize the year clockwise, but with summer at the top, and the new year at the 6 o'clock position. I'm not sure why, but I think it just makes more sense to me to think of spring as rising, and "fall" as descending.

It really depends on your standard for "good." Some people spend $5-10k+ on their mountain bike. If you're looking at getting an ebike of similar quality, then I could see this being an attractive alternative.

by fwipsy 2mo ago
Wow, $2k? You could get a decent ebike for that money. And the installation doesn't look any easier than a hub motor... Only seems worth it if you already have an extremely nice bike. I think of friction drives as being aimed at budge

This seems part of a broader pattern which isn't specific to gender. In my experience, LLMs match the sophistication of the answer to the user's inferred level of understanding. Linguistic habits like hedging and tag questions see

I saw. Most entry-level ebikes have at least 10ah * 36v batteries; a few lightweight models have 7ah. So this has about half the battery capacity of the cheapest ebikes.

Similar friction drives have existed for a while. The battery is very small compared to a regular ebike (typically they start at about 300wh.) Also, IIRC the friction drive is not very efficient.

Americans love making pithy generalized critiques of their own culture based on inconsequential anecdotes.

I'd like to see a human create a better pelican SVG without being able to look at the results. LLMs are language models, not (natively) vision models*. That's why it's a good benchmark: it engages LLM's logical reasoning

I agree with the latter but I don't think "take down" is any better.
