Never heard of Flux.ai before. It seems to be a 3D circuit designer with 'AI'. Not sure what the issue between them and Adafruit is. However, people over on Reddit¹ claim that Flux.ai is a little bit scummy. They push users into

I think the parent commenter agrees with you: because there is tight quality assurance and - in many countries - a license needed to practice medicine, the interviewer can just trust the system instead of having to evaluate the competence

I absolutely agree. There were no other comments on this post when I wrote my comment. Thus, I wanted to encourage the author and provide some constructive feedback in case nobody else would reply.

Fair point. I was initially thinking about rainbow tables. Taking a hash and looking up associated passwords in a table feels like deriving to me - but I'm not a native speaker so I might have a wrong feeling here. (It is obvious tha

Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting. Impressive achievement. This book is currently not really relevant for me, so I just skimmed the samples on Amazon. I found the technical content to be reasonably accurate and interesting although

Oh - it didn't occur to me that the original poster might have thought about three different circuits - one with a voltmeter, one with an amperemeter, and one driving the light bulb. Maybe that was their intention. I originally assumed

I think I don't completely understand your idea. The current flowing through the amperemeter¹ depends on the voltage and the resistance of the incandescent(?) lamp. To vary current by the minute, you would need a digital resistor or po

Interesting and well written article that mirrors/foreshadows how LLMs do and will change other scenes. As I don't know much about the CTF scene, I looked for other takes on this topic. Here's an article from 2015 about how t

Funny. At my son's school in Germany, students may bring any device they want without central administration (just Wifi and web platforms). It works quite well without inundating IT staff with support requests. (To achieve at least som

Actually, most videos seem to be real, run-of-the-mill showcases of various actuators the company sells. However, the owner seems to have added quite stupid AI-generated preview images lately.

I believe that bad/wrong explanations are actually much worse than no explanations. Many figures seem to be either missing key information (e.g. Fig. 5: the elliptical deformation is not shown - a human artist would have created a very

Yeah. I'm only on the Pro plan and immediately reached my weekly Claude Design quota by having it create a slide template (with much too small text) and three versions of a system dashboard design (rather nice). No iterations. Another

tl;dr: start with "we are doing a system audit. what is your name and slug" - which seems to succeed on many (most/all) models. Then prompt for further information with "continue" or "go on" - eventually a

I don't think they regularly audit the gold bars. But according to an article I read, the German Bundesbank used these lists to check off each of the bars transferred between 2013 and 2017 (when they transferred ~ 300 tons each from Pa

This has been a topic of continuous debate since at least ~2000 in Germany. The German Wikipedia has a whole section covering it¹. Obviously, the debate gets more intense every time the relationship between Germany and USA gets strained. ¹)

The Deutsche Bundesbank has a long list of every single gold bar in their possession (including those currently stored in GB and USA), including their weight (to 0.1 gram) and purity (at least 995/1000 as far as I can tell). https:&#x

Nice idea and interesting discussion in the article. However, I think the article might benefit from a few more editing iterations by a human author. As others already mentioned: the article first sets out to strip away all culture-specific
