Yeah, I guess my automatic wrist watch has gotten autonomous.

I don't know, I could say the same about my two-generations-old smartphone with a Bluetooth keyboard. Except that it has 12 GB / 256 GB. Works a treat for 99% of users and use cases.

> the ideas that keep coming up over and over are vertical farming, weed-killing laser robots and insect protein. Ah, are drones finally gone? I'd love to tell farmers things about their land that I saw from above which they already

I wouldn't want that for my math scripts, either.

There's a minimum distance of like 10-30ft with these lights. They're also uncomfortably warm, prompting humans to leave after a while but not airplanes.

I'm a similarly semi professional photographer, and I have to agree. Most photos are stored for decades just to never be looked at again. Sure it might be interesting to retrieve a picture of that random piece of furniture or that car

I'm sure they will find a way to rebrand, reboot, or outright fold the whole Pixel program before 2030.

So am I reading this right, they are getting to 92% efficiency by knowing that their battery cells are insanely good low-pass filters that they can throw anything at?

Always weird to me what goes up in value, and what does not. 1968 Porsche, low-end model? 300k. Dakar winning motorcycle? 15k. Steel Rolex with scratches? 30k. Early digital quartz watches? 300. Personally I am waiting for a few things to b

It's not any AI that I'm scared of. It's the assembly line that produces thousands per month, and all it takes to deploy and launch them all at once, is one nondescript semi truck with a 40ft container. The saturation attacks

Similar to how pilots often ascend from freighters to passenger aircraft, self-driving systems should have started driving freight through the desert. (Or mining pits, for that matter.) Passenger operation as well as operation around people

Great writing! Seriously this is good stuff. For anybody that struggles with the length and slow-paced nature of this genre -- this is hackernews after all -- I had a much easier time imagining this as a radio piece. The writing style is

At its core, I agree that the bare-bones nature of IRC can be wonderful. But all of the modern services like Teams, Slack and Discord, have seamlessness between client devices as their first priority. People leave their laptop, go to the ba

I'm not worried about this at all. I'm worried about ten years into the future. A logistic curve starts out slow, and that's what we are witnessing.

A lot of wink-wink edgyness on both sides. Almost as if there are no mature people sharing their views.

I've been wanting for monitors to get PCIe slots for GPUs. Lots of space to get creative with cooling as well. My guess why it hasn't caught on is Thunderbolt timing issues. I could never get USB audio to work parallel to an eGPU

Sorry to bother you on a random comment, but is your airship thing still current?

Oil pipeline routing in those areas is really funny.

Condensing inflated long-form articles back to their useful size would be a worthwhile AI application, just like searchable podcast transcriptions.

I have wondered if linear marginal pricing is one problem with this. Wealth is not distributed linearly, and growth does not occur linearly either. Wealth is a hyperbola and growth is exponential, and yet marginal prices go linear. Thus, fu

Even in that setting there's no need for ICE R&D. Just leave the last production line running to eternity. Meanwhile the rest of the company is free to do the switch.

Maybe it's because I grew up on IRC and ICQ, but I just cannot imagine an asynchronous text-based social network to require a full datacenter of the same scale as their video and ad-track platforms. I kinda assume that Meta could do th

The rest of the world uses WhatsApp Status. Twitter is for those who hand in their sanity in pursuit of an audience.

That does look cool. Would this work fine if presented with my Obsidian "vault", eg a folder full of markdown files? Looks like both apps like to operate on the same data.

I think the correct candidate for a pocket watch would be an old school iPod.

Established old-school companies too. Without knowing, I'd expect Bosch and all the others to have a similar product, just five years late, slightly more expensive due to more realistic accounting, extremely boring, and without any of

Almost sure that is for servers. They've been pushing density for a while now, and as four sockets per U became the new norm, data center operator had a slight Pikachu face when they saw 40-60 kW per rack. With Intel's recent inno

Creality has this $60 enclosure that seems to do the job. I learned that the entire voron project is against separate heaters, they recommend to leave the heated bed on for an hour instead.
