I understand the grandparents viewpoint. Why add constraints to an open ended toy? On the other hand, you could argue that the instructions and included pieces are constraints. Should Lego just sell random grab bags of pieces?

I would also love a button to pause so I can poke around the keyboard to see what it sounds like.

As part of undergrad we had to implement space invaders on a Zync FPGA so you got to choose which bits you did in hardware and what was in software. It was a blast seeing what people came up with as you could do “extras” that gave you bonus

To be clear, the work the asahi folks are doing is incredible. I’m ashamed to say sometimes their documentation is better than the internal stuff. I’ve heard it’s mostly because there wasn’t an m3 Mac mini which is a much easier target for

Idk- cheaper inference seems to be a huge industry secret and providing the best inference tech that only works with nvidia seems like a good plan. Makes nvidia the absolute king of compute against AWS/AMD/Intel seems like a no br

I’m pretty sure anywhere there’s a lot of people (the northeast of the US for example) you’re going to find a lot of smart people.

Agreed retail is a good customer for this tech. But even after getting fiber personally, it gets cut a lot by landscaping crews. Most of the time it’s a residential line that takes a day to fix. But a few times it’s been a main line and it

I went to bazzite with a 4070ti super, is it worth going to a 9070xt? I've had graphical issues but a reboot always fixes it. The main menu UI is dog slow though (easily a half second of lag).

Just dumped windows for bazzite with an Nvidia gpu + a 12700k. So far, great. There's definitely some artifacts but a reboot has always fixed it. I mainly installed it to see if I could go full steam machine.

I didn’t think pre-commit was that slow but I’ll admit I am intrigued. UV has been a godsend so why not?

I don’t think Google is a great example to hold up here. They throw so much random crap at a wall hoping for another golden goose. Then kill anything that isn’t after a few years. If you can’t tell, I’m still salty about Google domains. Man

If I had a chunk of uranium but it was covered in an algae that absorbed all radiation out of the chunk, isn’t it much faster? As the effects of the uranium is largely mitigated.

I tried to build something like this during covid and got into the weeds around syncing a vuex store across server/client based on pinia ( https://pinia.vuejs.org ). Vue3 separated the reactivity model from the framework so w

I get your point, but I personally would be grumpy if I lost power for two hours twice a month. I realize that is rich considering this article is about people who are lucky to get any amount of power reliably

Everyone knows that teeth are luxury bones in the US. The market just isn't there for fancy treatments. The ultra-wealthy just get their teeth replaced with perfect veneers anyway.

Are they good options for cloud-freeish thermostats? I have two units (one for upstairs and one for downstairs). We have two nests but they’re so frustrating. I’ve lobotomized the “smart behavior” as much as a I can. I want a thermostat tha

You’re off by a few orders of magnitude. I’ll grant you, what is the bootloader becomes a very complex question. Even if you scope it to just “what is the code physically etched into the chip as the mask ROM” (secureROM) you’re talking hund

Just the fact that there are millions of citizens means you have to trust the process. When I go vote and stamp my votes, you need to trust my county’s counters. I find it strange we focus so much on tampering with an individual vote (machi
