No mention of an algorithm/sensor for checking capacity of the car. It's a pain when your elevator car shows, it's full, and your request is canceled, meaning you have to press again. Better if the car was full and just moved

We already have had that for millennia. Moles. Benign cysts. Unusual body shapes. Doctors have learned to say more than “just pretend that’s not there”. They have learned what’s important and what’s not and how to explain such things. Why c

I’ve seen dozens of these types of demos and it’s always live footage from a semi public place like this. It’s much easier to just show live footage rather than rig up canned looping footage. It’s pretty astonishing how no one watching the

You don’t buy a $600 laptop to be useful in 5 years. And I’ll bet it will be more useful in 5 years than any 2031 $600 PC laptop.

If you had 32G RAM it would use that too. It uses all it can. 8GB is fine. And will be for years.

Is there any metric saying what the proper amount is or is it always “more”? Is there a point where others should do more and the US less?

You could touch type on that horrible keyboard? I learned to type on typewriters at school, but never could very well on my C64 with its elevated, mushy keyboard.

Similar to me, but years earlier in the US. The best thing that happened to me at that time was not being able to afford a floppy drive. My friends who had one just played games. I had to learn to program instead.

This implies that Space X is overcharging compared to launches from 25 years ago, but is cheaper relative to ULA launches from 10 years ago. But how does, for example, "1998: Deep Space 1 — Delta II rocket — $86 million" compare

So the takeaway I get is that these two databases should be cross linked so this doesn’t happen again. Maybe there’s a community of software developers who could help.

I was using ChatGPT to compare Docker and Podman and getting reasonable comparisons. I also asked it about c code searching tools and getting a reasonable list with what I think were reasonable comparisons. It hit me that in a few years, th

This is the same technology story told thousands of times a day with nearly every technology. Medical seems to be especially bad at this. Take a very promising technology that could be very useful. Jump on it early without even trying to ge

Exactly. “This is bad because dumb people won’t believe us.” Not “This is bad because it undermines science, is lying, and unethical, regardless of what people think.”

These saved me from a redesign 25 years ago. I had an 8051 with 256 bytes of RAM and a serial EEPROM with limited writes. Replacing the EEPROM with a serial FRAM allowed me to increase the effective RAM. I had to do some tweaking and figuri

If I live within two miles of an airport, directly on the flight path, what are the odds of my house being damaged by a plane versus burning down by other causes, damaged by a falling tree, struck by lightning, etc. I don’t know, but am cer

Problem is, if everyone has resistance backup and it gets really cold, I doubt if the grid could keep up.

Conservatively, the people in this conversation make $5 million per year total, the software (git) contributes billions, and we are discussing how to better allocate $230 per month. Open source economics is fascinating.

There are so many reasons the EpiPen costs $318, corporate greed being one of them. One of the huge reasons that no one talks about is that most rarely actually sell for $318. It's priced at that, but insurance companies negotiate a lo

Not a comment on the API itself, but I like how Stackoverflow/Stackexchange has interactive documentation, allowing you to fill in prompts and have it create the request for you and show the live results. https://api.stackex
