Painting cast iron Pro tip if you are going to paint a cast iron block, after degreasing/cleaning, hit the surface with a blowtorch to drive out moisture from the porous surface. THEN apply a primer, THEN paint with a brush. You'r

Lack of support for 3DS and (probably) switch means I am moving over to the Steam Deck for my next console, probably early next year. Losing my entire switch library, basically forever, when the Switch 2 (or whatever they call it) is releas

I think I got my first Calvin and Hobbes book when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I think over the years I collected all but one or two of the books, and read them almost religiously. It largely shaped (or reinforced) my worldview as a kid

Would have been nice if he actually measured the output to verify. Takes 2 seconds with a multimeter. If the adapter is already out of spec, there's no reason why you should trust what is written on the side of the box.

Arguably Foxconn is in the business of being a legal firewall between a company's factories and their management. Presumably the reason why Apple hasn't gone Fully Vertically Integrated (which they certainly have the resources to

For those without a lot of patience, skip ahead to 6:45 or so (in the fist linked video) which is a really cool, "a-ha!" moment of why light "slows down" when it hits light. He also points out that he's really just

Signal had a ton of users but then they disabled the ability to use it as your primary SMS app citing user confusion about which chats were encrypted vs which were not, SMS support was the killer feature for a lot of people. Since they drop

Yeah and looks like they're going to offer Llama as well. They offer Redhat linux EC2 instances at a premium, and other paid per hour AMIs. I can't imagine why they wouldn't offer various LLMs at a premium, but not also offer

Moore's law seems to have failed on CPUs finally, but we've seen the pattern over and over. LLM specific hardware will undoubtedly bring down the cost. $10,000 A100 GPU will not be the last GPU NVidia ever makes, nor will their co

Branding counts for a lot, but LLM are already a commodity. As soon as someone releases an LLM equivalent to GPT4 or GPT5, most cloud providers will offer it locally for a fraction of what openAI is charging, and the heaviest users will sim

There's no moat in giant LLMs. Anyone on a long enough timeline can scrape/digitize 99.9X% of all human knowledge and build an LLM or LXX from it. Monetizing that idea and staying the market leader over a period longer than 10 yea

How much TV do you watch??? If we're lucky we can squeeze 90 minutes a day in before bed. We have netflix, get prime video free with prime, and now that we have a toddler, we have Disney+. That's about $40 but there are NO ADS. If

If you are making $10 million a year based on an employee's personal contribution to the company, and paying them $135,000, they are likely underpaid, and another company might gladly pay them $250,000 to add $10mm to their bottom line

30% fee is fine? If you don't want to use steam you can put an ad in the back of 2600 Magazine and mail out CD-R or USB sticks like they did in the olden days. That's how Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem were sold for many years. Val

A lot of units use 1/2 inch or in many cases less. Upgrading to 5/8" makes a big difference, and installing another 1/2" on top of that gives impressive noise dampening via additional mass. As does fiberglass insula

I would expect LLM hardware to routinely support between 32 and 512GB memory in the Very Near Future. 1-4TB by the end of the decade. Custom hardware for GPT and LLM technology only started being developed in earnest in September 2022
