My wristwatch's "face" is a solar panel - Citizen Eco-Drive. Had it for around 20 years and it has never stopped.

We both speak the same language. I can get to grips with "front load" but what does: "helps contextual the blog" mean? It appears, for the verb, you meant: "frobnicate".

OP is able to create random points to infinite precision or the spherical cow has as many points on it as you like. Many here don't have the luxury of a Hilbert monitor. If you convert (non mathematician here!) your sphere into an n-a

You ask Chat to add some tags to its output, via your prompt. You get your browser to filter output that is not tagged properly. Counter measures will need another LLM "AI" to filter out efforts to filter out ads from my prompts.

So how do you interact with your LLM? (by hand perhaps?) I find prompt fettling a great way of getting to grips with a problem. If I can explain my problem effectively enough to get a reasonable start on an answer, then I likely thoroughly

The moral of the story is: "be careful with simile and analogy". Otherwise you get your arse handed to you on a plate and your very reasonable argument gets lost in the weeds 8) In these circles is is generally safer to stick wit

You note that you have rooftop solar - how is that going? I'd love to deploy it but the south facing side of my house has three dormers on it which means: I'm stuffed. I can't fit panels on a 12m (40') long roof, with i

Bloody numbers! I also have snags dealing with them and I have an A level in Maths. Your discount rate at $0.26 - I assume that is for overnight usage - sounds a bit nasty. Are you able to move to another provider or are you tied to a sin

There are 3.8 litres to the US gallon. You pay $4.00 per gallon and I pay 3.8 * £1.30 = £4.94. I remember the days when it seemed like fuel was almost free in the US compared to here! Your electric rate looks high at $0.28 per kWh. Its s

Nimrod is a piece of music and an aircraft ... in my head, well before anything to do with a comic character.

That might be where the EV wheels fall off! CA is notionally EV friendly but it is also a US state and it is rather large, so range is king. CA is mostly very warm so that helps with range. Gas (petrol) is relatively cheap and 'leccy

Well played Sir. My MG4 (Saic) has a five year warranty and rather a lot of small print, that I should probably OCR and pass through Chat for a summary and then read myself. I do know it will last longer than my last car - a Ford Focus with

Do you mean something like: There is evidence that approximately 50,000 to 65,000 years ago, homo sapiens reached the land that we now call Australia. You can't possibly describe those people as Aborigines before arrival. Its almost

Well, you'll be glad to know that people like my dad (ATO/EOD) sorted quite a lot of it out back in the day. However, they could only demolish what they were pointed at and as this article notes, there is more that keeps on turni

HA Proxy has been doing this sort of thing for a very, very long time. You have stick tables and a very rich way of populating them and then you can use these tables of in RAM data to make routing decisions. Sometimes you need another proxy

We lived in Manc in 1977 (Dad was a soldier and did a year at UMIST to get to Lt Col, family in tow). Then we buggered off to Germany (again). For a kiddie, I had an amazing life! We were posted to Cyprus too. Our Jub mugs were mostly tra
