I don’t recall the exact numbers, and it’s not apples-to-apples but: We have 4 sticks of DDR3 totalling 24GB. From what I remember, our home server uses about 70kWh/year to drive the memory. Buying 2 sticks of LPDDR4 would bring that d

Aside from your par-for-the-course extremists, I’m sure plenty of Israel’s citizens are decent, good people. Same as everywhere else. If you remove the unbelievably criminal leadership of Israel, you’re left with a perfectly reasonable coun

A lot of people seem to conflate currency with The Economy. These are not the same at all, but plenty of comments don’t make that distinction. The twisted perversion of Capitalism that is in effect today is dramatically dissociated from the

Oh my god. I’m triggered. Opus 4.8 thinks everything is load-bearing, arguments, functions, classes, you name it, there’s always a few load-bearing things in every conversation.

The AirPods Ultra will supposedly have cameras built into the stem, feeding imaging data to Apple Intelligence. A user in the forum commented: > Are Silicon Valley people, especially CEOs like Larry Page, Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg,

A country known for plenty of spyware and iOS hacking tools. Interesting indeed. (I didn’t draw any conclusions.)

I thought the same until I calculated the cost of running DDR3. We’re at 0.35€/kWh so it adds up fast. Upgrading the motherboard and getting LPDDR4 sticks would be a net positive before the RAM prices soared.

Given the price of components right now, I don’t know. 1k for that small of a form factor seems acceptable. It’s a nice addition to the living room, could likely play a role in cancelling expensive video streaming subscriptions. Might also

You’re conflating introversion with agreeableness and neuroticism or even social shyness. Introversion is its own aspect.

Students also tend to be younger. We could all survive on 4h as young adults, I imagine. Our kid sleeps like crap, some nights I don’t get any full cycles (~90 minutes in adults). I’ve no idea why we’re trying for a second, send help.

The Life of Dad was a good companion through the pregnancy, even if the author preaches a bit in some areas that felt off. It explains the massive mental transformation for fathers, the impact of testosterone, and why you’re “more affected”

OS-level consistency is also consistency. It depends what we value. A lot of apps’ design could’ve been basic, OS-like UI. Apps such as GymBook or WhatsApp are internally consistent while still adopting many elements from the system’s desig

There’s no way I’m giving a random foreign company my ID. I’m really enjoying the phone-controlled sessions with Claude, and the models do good work; but if I’m asked to validate my ID, we’re done. I already have Aivo and Pi somewhat simila

Can you recommend any modern systems that behave like that?

It’s also 90% fluff. The hardware tables with quantizations are all you care about. The rest is filler. It’s not a good read. It’s a bad one. And honestly? Annoying.

Indeed. And so is reading “x is the real thing. Real y, real z.” Plus all the other filler crap. If you can command a model, you can tell it to write without fluff. The amount of effort to ask an LLM to do work is massively lower than the e

If all apps are developed with the same mindset, all of them would consume much more memory. Does the average user have a 3x buffer just in case? I doubt the median-ish 8GB is enough these days.

The glasses might be too rosy, I doubt people would’ve fought that much “ten or fifteen years ago”. The general public never gave much thought to privacy, security, or freedom of choice when it came to tech.

Some artists are very bad at their job, not everyone can be a genius. He never specified which kind of artist he was.

People were, in a very literal sense, working themselves to death. The birth of the industrial age is documented as one of the worst periods in Humanity’s record for quality of life.

I’m not a free market advocate, but… if you want a heated seat, you pay the extra for producing it specifically for that purpose, no? Otherwise the non-subscribers are ‘subsidising’ the cost of the special seat.

I stand corrected! I was stopped once by police on my bicycle and asked to not wear headphones (wired, Apple’s basic ones). I’m also somewhat shocked the fine is that minor. Not hearing a honk or bicycle bell can be quite dangerous.

At least in Germany I think wearing headphones in ANY vehicle is against the law, even a bicycle, and even if you’re not listening to music (IANAL).

It’s a bit of double dipping then: the streamlined production makes the seat cheaper, and people who subscribe further increase the margin on the heated seat. I really don’t understand the subscription model applied to a physical piece of e

Cute. If I buy an A+ washing machine, but it turns out to use tons of electricity to wash the clothes better than expected, the solution isn’t to wash less clothes or do so less often — it’s calling the shop and returning it because its rat

Seat has been a refreshing alternative since the Arona came out, specifically the one with the amazing sound system. They’ve come a long way and are making some no-nonsense cars.

They appear to have no clue about what customers want. We’ve had VWs in the family for as long as I can remember. After I sold my Polo, a car I truly liked, that was the last of it. Nobody wanted the crazy touch dashboards, data collection,
