It's a client device to an LLM that can use software on your behalf, presumably running on Android and Chrome/Linux VMs that they host. You log in to their web portal, authenticate various apps as you would on your own phone, and

What I imagine it's like is if you can "replay" a song in your head, you don't literally hear it, but it's a very similar feeling as actually listening to the song.

I also have it, I can draw a lighthouse because I know what it should look like. But if I close my eyes and try to visualize it, I don't have any sense that I'm seeing something, in the same way that I have a sense that I'm l

Even a very reasonable CPU temperature under load like 60C, you can only touch a surface that hot for about 5 seconds before being burned.

This hack will always work, they must thermally insulate the laptop case, otherwise the laptop is a huge burn hazard. About 43 C is the threshold for pain, anything above that will cause burns.

I make a commit whenever I want to save my progress, and rarely is it ever in a state that could even be called a "version" of the software that one would want to revert to, until my feature branch is complete and ready for code r

There is obviously a point where you do not want full history. For example, it would absurd to use your editor's undo history tree with keystroke level granularity as your VCS, because in most of those points in history, the code won&#

This is a simple example with only two feature branches, and it's already a bit hard to follow. Imagine it with even twelve which is not even that many branches: * Merge Branch 'B' into 'main' |\

If you're coming at RF/radio stuff from more of the programming side, SDRs might be a more interesting option. I got my license in college and I was the only one at the test under 50, and I never really found ham radio to be very

I agree, it's not as elegant as a fancy dedicated CDN and frontend CI setup, however in a lot of organizations the frontend is an afterthought so it has to be able to be deployed in the same way as backend services. The frontend team w

The hypervisor OS is based on Illumos, which was forked from OpenSolaris, and it uses Bhyve from FreeBSD for virtualization. I would imagine the system architecture is different enough that running Linux as the base OS would take some work,

Now apply the same logic to currency. What is the combined value of thirteen shillings and ten farthings? Simple, it's 317 halfpennies, or £317/480. It's much easier to deal with than a more difficult calculation like $0.25 +

I get that it's annoying, but YouTube Premium is by far the best value streaming subscription I pay every month. I once cancelled it and couldn't make it a day before re-subscribing.

I've had it happen a few times, and on a few different bikes. Usually the cause is a chain that is too loose, and especially if the wheel is cocked to the left due to the drive side of the wheel being pulled forward from hard pedaling.

My two favorite automations are dead simple, but would be tricky to solve any other way. I have them set up with Home Assistant running on my local network, so there's no data going to anyone else, and no dependency on a cloud service.

I do some maintenance for a pretty old LambdaMOO instance that runs enCore, which gives it a (very 90s) web UI, along with a browser-based telnet client. Of course, that telnet client was a Java applet, so I replaced it with a websocket con

If you install on ZFS from the installer with Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Illumos, etc. there's no reason to care about the complexities under the hood if you don't care about them with any other file system. It's like saying you should

Why would you want to know about SLOGs or L2ARCs if you're using it on a desktop? Even if you are using it for a NAS, you almost certainly don't need to know about those.

In my opinion, the 50% efficiency of mirror vdevs is a fair price to pay for the simplicity and greatly improved performance. You can grow RAIDZ pools now, but it's still a lot more complicated and doesn't perform as well.

One example related to this and the far-right shift in many western countries, in Italy they are retroactively removing the non-birth mother from birth certificates issued to lesbian couples.

There are certainly many issues where a conservative of fifty years ago would be considered much further left than modern day conservatives, if not actually further to the left than modern day liberals. Contrast this clip of the George H.W.

That's not what a debate is. A debate is a contrived conversation format where presenting evidence and countering the evidence of your opponent isn't really possible in real time.
