Yes, I've generated crypto wallet vanity keys on GPUs (OpenCL) and I'd say it's about 10-20x faster than a CPU depending on which kind of key and how the code's written.

I'm on Ubuntu 25.04, 128GB RAM, pcie 5 SSD, NVIDIA 5080, 9950X3D. I discovered over the weekend that only 1 monitor works over HDMI, DisplayPort not working, tried different drivers. Suspend takes a good 5 minutes, and on resume, the

This is not a great advertisement for Home Assistant. The writing is also not good like some point. I am on my third iteration of HA, I regularly update it, so I also read the release notes that the author prepares/publishes. HA feels

Microsoft demoed a version of their GraphRAG that translated C code to (I believe) mostly idiomatic Rust, and it ran without errors. I tried to find reference to how they did it, does anyone know? It sounds like this approach of translating

Ha! I stumbled upon this by mistake. I wanted the camera to be able to turn on the PC to store recordings, but while tweaking the BIOS settings, I somehow got that wrong, and instead the PC turns on whenever it detects power. I have it conn

I'm about 60% with RISC-V, I'm enjoying learning it, and my use-case is being able to embed some assembly on ESP32 code. A few years ago I embarked on learning ARM assembly, I also got far, but I found it more laborious somehow. x

For a device with a 10 year life, and enough connectivity to be future-proof, Google has handled them poorly. It's only a few weeks ago that they added support for them in the Home app. I believe they have a 802.15.4 radio, maybe the x

Chrome on Android also has per-site limits, which I've also found useful in addition to the overall app limit. 15 minutes on HN, then I'm out even if I still have a Chrome limit. It's really interesting that we have to resort

This looks like it could also be useful in embedded programming, specifically around detecting allocations in platforms that allow them.

I can't remember the exact detail, but one instance was a function checking whether a user should be paid based on some conditions. It checked the db, and I think because the codebase and db move fast, there was a new enum added a few

> If someone feels compelled to read every function either the functions are poor abstractions or the reader has trust issues, which may be warranted. I joined a company with great code and architecture for 3 months last year. They deal

I imagine that keeping the cost down might have been important when designing this. You don't need a rechargeable battery and the charging circuitry. 10 years is also long enough that perhaps the tracker might stop being supported befo

Better late than never, I have 3 of their bulbs in the house, and not being able to integrate with HA prevented me from buying more (at least before Matter was announced). I've been using them with Google Home, so the lights weren&#x27

I'm going to review my backup strategy these holidays, and look at how much downtime my services would incur if Hetzner shuts me down. The reality that they have this power, and that they'd delete data irretrievably, scares me. La

Transfer Patterns. This was a fun paper to implement back in the day. I had a local route planner that I wrote in nodejs, and it was always fun trying out research papers. I wonder what Google, Microsoft, Mapbox et al use these days.

That feels like a different scenario. Intuitively I would expect some pre-arranged clearance process that is valid for some period to avoid say daily paperwork lodging. Even the inspection process could be streamlined if there's some t

I'd read that hourly fee more as a comparative.

by nevi-me 2y ago
There's a difference in being charged a partial amount for the month vs an hourly amount for something you need for just 2 hours. I have a dedicated machine with Hetzner, and AFAIK they charge me the full amount regardless of whether i

Thanks, I mainly want to be able to load either mapbox-gl or its alternatives, then not change the rest of my code. I don't yet know how incompatible mapbox-gl 3 is with the libre options.

I've been using Google maps for a decade, and when they started offering a $200 credit, it was fine until my bill started going up to $200-300 after the credits. It's for a hobby project that's outlasted well-funded projects,

Yeah, I asked it in a negative way, probably because I hold the view that Africa is the dumping ground for unethical behaviour/products. Just 2 months ago we were outraged at Nestle putting sugar in baby foods [0] in Africa. We have 2

People are sexually active at different rates over different times, I also assume that a 100 people having sex with each other, where none of them have HIV, would not contract it. It's like giving police officers new buller-proof vests

How do tests for drugs like this get conducted? "Here's a shot, go have sex with people with HIV"? I hope the young women conducting the trials were compensated sufficiently for the risk taken, especially those who contracted

Looking at the chart before reading the article, I thought that their peak hourly output is just above 1.5kWh (sort of like you'd read a speed chart in {m|km}ph). Then the author says they have an 8.28kW system. It'd have been use
