And no pinouts on the n100 mini-pc. Not to mention the software ecosystem that is prepped and ready to go for the many special use cases of raspberry pis. At least the n100 is low power. Not as low as rapi, but not nearly as bad of a tradeo

No way. Elon has, for a long time, relied heavily on Twitter to drum up interest. He basically has no advertising budget at Tesla and SpaceX. My guess is that he saw his lack of control of Twitter as a liability. after all, things he or oth

I have not had great luck with rechargeables. They have a lower voltage than regular AA, so I find that most sensitive electronics just start out thinking the battery is already low and then stop running before the battery is fully discharg

Even if Google had launched Gemini prior to GPT-3 coming out, I doubt it would have made much of a splash. Google is always announcing amazing advances that never materialize. How much of a difference in stock price did it make when they de

There are so many things that receive patents where prior art exists. I wouldn't be surprised if someone looked just a little bit, they could find prior art for just about any drug and rule that it is close enough to invalidate the pat

No, I think the implication is that it was an attempted coup. Not because they removed Altman as CEO, but because they removed him as a board member.

Are we not all still buying multiple packs of AA batteries every year? Or maybe it's just those with kids.

That and the cocaine, of course.

Well, as the saying goes, it took 4 hours, plus a lifetime of study and practice.

It's more expensive than most sandpaper. It's only cheaper when you take into account that it lasts longer, something that many consumers aren't great at doing. so I'm sure they had to split the difference.

Agree, but the only thing more boring than American Football would be regular football. Hours of game play with maybe 2 goals is such a drag.

I think Google does a good job with the Pixel line. I believe it is likely they are the 2nd most secure consumer phones after iPhone due to their quick updates and Google's good security record. The fact that I can easily side load app

I just downloaded Beeper Mini on my android phone and after giving me a fail error when trying to send an SMS to Apple to register my phone, it then popped up asking for my apple id.

Has the Plexiglass brand reached the level of usage that it is now considered full genericide? In other words is it basically public domain now?

Biden admin? Traveling during the Trump admin was the same. I also found it annoying, having traveled with a toddler and a young kid. But traumatic? Come on. Notably, I caught COVID for the first and only time when I had a flight just a few

I agree that required masking wasn't very beneficial to those who didn't want to wear a mask, but it seems very likely to me that it still would have helped reduce spread from those people. Even a poor fitting, poor material mask

This is my understanding. Which brings me to the part I do not understand, which is, what in the world is D-Wave selling? they claim to be selling "quantum computing systems, software, and services". Are they selling purely to res

I have heard claims that lots of popular LLMs, including possibly gpt-4 are trained on things like reddit. so maybe it's not quite garbage in, garbage out if you include lots of other data. Google also has untold troves of data that is

Most any UPS that has a user replaceable battery can be swapped to 12v lifepo4 batteries. they won't likely fit, but I took the two 12v lead acid batteries out of my UPS and extended the wires out the back and to a new shelf that holds

So much money gets funneled to rural areas. Billions have been spent on rural broadband but it is slow to spread. I am from a very rural area, we were 30 minutes from the nearest store except for a small gas station 10 minutes away. 2+ hour

While you usually will hear a few cicadas every summer, they are all normally on a 13 or 17 year cycle. You may simply live in an area that is in the middle of a cycle. when that 13 or 17 year mark hits, you will likely hear them everywhere

By "the powershell way" I don't mean actually using powershell. I just mean using verbose, descriptive commands that one can easily understand what it does without having a working knowledge of the scripting language.

If all I was doing is writing code, I agree. But like most developers, I think I read a lot more code than I write.

The huge advantage of podcasts over most other forms of media is that they don't have to cut things down into tiny bite sized pieces. Many podcasts will get down into the nitty gritty details of things that the news never will. I think

the version of the eye of the needle being a particular gate in Jerusalem that I heard is that it was a short entrance. so a camel could conceivably go through it, but you would have to take off any provisions it is packing and the camel wo
