Just get a hall effect or TMR keyboard and all your problems with key chatter will go away. Also, I recommend you just build it yourself. It's a fun hobby and if you don't know how to make PCBs it's a great way to learn (ke

Optical switches are great but they suffer from one problem that will annoy anyone that spent a ton of money on one: They don't last forever. The reason is that the optical components are all plastic and that plastic degrades (yellows

The only thing I don't like about this article is it didn't talk about the actuation tech. It basically only showed switches with springs. My Void Switch design doesn't have springs at all! https://github.com&#x2

Supposedly the latest trend deciding what novels get accepted by literary agents isn't the total number of words in the book, it's the total number of words in each chapter. They're getting much more strict about wanting cha

Normies have a much more realistic take on AI than technical people or semi-technical "power users": * They LOVE image-generating AI and AI that messes with their own photos/videos. * They will ask ChatGPT, Gemini,

Until there's a database of all the copyrighted works in the world that anyone can access—along with their licenses—it is absolutely not possible to know for certain if something is violating copyright. Simple example: Disney opens up

The problem is that Google isn't hosting the content. They're merely linking to it. There's no content to "take down." I don't think there's standing to sue. Linking to pirated content isn't illegal.

Deathbed regrets aren't fun at all. Deathbed wishes for their next life are much more interesting! For example, Gil Amelio—former CEO of Apple—once expressed that he wanted to be reborn as a woman owning/working a vineyard in So

The very people that whine and bitch that "AI is bad" will enunciate their complaints via their phone's AI-driven speech recognition feature. It's pure cognitive dissonance.

Not even grammar correction? That's lame and kinda evil . When you submit your manuscript to a big publisher I guarantee they're using AI to check it (now). At the very least, AI is the only tool that can detect a great number

PostgreSQL seems to have become the be-all, end-all SQL database that does everything and does it all well. And it's free! I'm wondering why anyone would want to use anything else at this point (for SQL).

I wish people would get off the "AI is the worst thing for the environment" bandwagon. AI and data centers as a whole aren't even in the top 100 emitters of pollution and never will be. If you want to complain about tech co

Pub/sub via WebSockets seems like the simplest solution. You'll need to change your LLM serving architecture around a little bit to use a pub/sub system that a microservice can grab the output from (to send to the client)
