Nice. In the US, it cost us $35k to install 7.6 kW panels + 13 kWh battery. But our PG&E electricity prices in the Bay Area are also several times more expensive than in Europe ($0.50 per kWh) so it will also pay off in 8-10 years.

It was made with AI though: https://github.com/duanebester/gooey/blob/main/CLAUDE.md That said, it fills a legit hole in the ecosystem and the author seems to be hands-on with the technical direction.

Well, the big CLAUDE.md there is a giveaway that it was AI generated: https://github.com/duanebester/gooey/blob/main/CLAUDE.md But still, the project solves a legit pain point. And the author seems prett

Lots of comments are expressing skepticism about compatibility but it's pretty cool how Nvidia has the clout to convince a bunch of game publishers and creative apps to release Arm versions. Popular games like League of Legends as well

Strix halo's 8060S gpu is very weak, and is roughly equivalent to a 4060 laptop GPU, whereas GB10's gpu is equivalent to a desktop 5070. For LLM throughput, tok/s is similar due to bottleneck by memory bandwidth, but the GB10

Code generation isn't antithetical to high level reasoning skills and even with "vibe coding" you can still exercise way finer control than the slot machine analogy. I typically prompt the AI with a detailed plaintext descrip

Dell just announced an XPS 13 that is $699 (with a $599 education pricing) and fairly nice CNC machined body (1 kg) and nice screen (2560x1600 30-120 Hz 500 nit 100% DCI-P3). That could be a tempting alternative to the Macbook Neo for peopl

The 8GB Pi 5, at $170 [1], is encroaching on Jetson Orin Nano Super's $240 price point [2]. But the Jetson has a faster CPU (newer a78ae cores rather than a76) and, obviously, a whole-ass GPU. [1] https://www.microcenter.co

And the original Model S proved that you can have a nice electric car that looks nice and "normal" as opposed to weird blobs of the time.

Spain sounds like a child's paradise. Too bad their birth rates are one of the lowest in Europe (and in the world) at around 1.1 births per woman.

That's a great desk top but the industrial appearance of it looks like it belongs in a garage rather than a fancy midcentury modern home office of a guy with a Leica M11 and Vitsoe shelving.

I mean, you can say that about any luxury good right? It just looks nice and makes you feel good. IKEA doesn't actually make any modular wall shelves like that anymore, after discontinuing the SVALNÄS. For a wall mounted shelf on a bud

Thanks for the correction. That sucks then. Dude should have stayed in his lane making rockets instead of commenting on agriculture.

It's pretty much expected that a rapidly growing high tech company is gonna have a lot of losses and debt right? They're just spending huge amounts of money on capex. Not doing so would be like floating minerals in Starcraft: symp

He didn't advise Mao directly. He published his "rough estimate" in China Youth Daily on June 16, 1958 as 《粮食亩产量会有多少？》. It's possible, though unconfirmed, that Mao (or his secretary) read this article and was influenced.

The US continues to repeat this mistake by adding hurdles for immigrant talent while persecuting or being generally racist against Chinese-American scientists [1]. Despite that, there's still a net influx of foreign talent coming to th

Obviously, discharging "dark and murky" polluted water is bad. But some of the figures from the lab report don't seem that terrible: * Hexavalent chromium at 0.0104 milligrams per liter, just above the lab’s reporting limit o

It's two slightly different jokes right? The parent comment joke is essentially stating "they are definitely going to talk about AI a lot" and the second joke is stating "they are not going to talk about anything besides

You're not entirely wrong but your snide tone is annoying and unsuitable for this platform. Anyway, 1. Claude Code is widely used and beloved despite not benchmaxxing on the terminalbench like these harnesses that nobody has ever heard

That new Laowa 180mm macro lens is amazing. So sharp, free of chromatic aberrations, compact, and I like the long working distance and reduced perspective distortion that the 180mm focal length offers.

AI is a godsend for automotive coding. It's really annoying how at some ASIL levels you need 100% code coverage of unit tests. With AI, all you have to do is to get your agent to generate the tests! Likewise with all the MISRA C requir
