The problem is more so that I think I'd need a brain-machine interface to get what I want. If I'm brainstorming a way to solve a problem mechanically, some if it is drawing but honestly a lot of it is just imagining it in my head.

As someone with a background in mechanical engineering, I'd love to be able to automate CAD design as it's quite tedious and only fun like 5% of the time, but I've tried these tools and I really don't think text-to-CAD i

A pretty easy 'optional' comparison would be golf course watering. I saw a much more detailed write up on this that I can't find now, but a quick google shows 500 billion gallons a year for US golf courses and 180 billion gal

I mostly use it to get a general vibecheck, it's pretty decent for fact checking and identifying narrative gaps, as well as finding sources for things I know are true but don't want to spend the time to manually find. Having the L

That's true, it could have been going from training data and skipping an explicit web search, but it was odd because I specifically asked it to pull references for my blog post, and it pulled ~20 links in the same message it said OpenC

The weird thing is that it found sources for all of my other claims and references no problem, but acted like it didn't know what openclaw was when openclaw.ai is the first thing that pops up on google.

I think it goes beyond this. I was just using claude to edit a blog post which mentioned OpenClaw and I got this response: "The "OpenClaw" reference — I assume that's a typo or playful reference; if you mean a real produ

Considering Minneapolis city council tried to ban Uber and Lyft entirely I have a strong feeling they’ll mess it up…

They're currently testing in Minneapolis and plan to launch in the next year to the public, so they seem to think they can crack tough winters

So how does the power meter itself actually work? How do you know the output is accurate? How much power is lost from the measurement due to dampening? How do you know it will hold up to cycling in such an aggressive environment? That'

I love local send. It’s ridiculously fast for sending large amounts of media too.

Gotcha, your TFSA sounds pretty similar to a Roth. So if there was a way to convert RRSP into TFSA in the manner I described, you could potentially get access to that money earlier than 59.5 (or whatever your age limit is in Canada) if that

I used to agree with you, but then I learned about 401k/roth conversion ladders. Basically, you can convert everything in a 401k to a roth (taxable event) and after 5 years you can withdraw all of that money penalty free and tax free (

Fun idea! The real time interaction with GPIO from the CLI is the most interesting thing here, I could see a general framework for that being useful for early-stage prototyping with new hardware/sensors if you included things like I2C,

Do you have a separate source for that? The article does not give any detail on potential property tax abatements. Also, this statement at the end seems to contradict your statement: "Porath, for his part, says Rockland County is just

Exactly. The municipalities offer these tax breaks (the article cites the tax breaks are for sales taxes) so that they can continually draw property tax from the site. In the long run, it should provide more tax funds for the community. Not

I thought the same thing until I hit my rate limit dramatically faster than before. With the way it burns tokens it's much less usable on the $20 plan.
