An analog telephone line simulator built (almost) entirely in CMOS and through-hole parts. It will be the second of its kind designed entirely in the 21st century, and the first of its kind designed in the 21st century with any hope of othe

Call me melodramatic, but I believe that OSM is one of humanity's great achievements in the last 200 years. Throughout nearly all of human history, one of the most difficult questions to answer was "where the hell am I?" and

> this will only make a freeworkforce for those projects who profit from using OSM I don't think this is an opinion, this is just an empirical fact. But it's good! OSM is a public service! This kind of thing should be public,

To be clear to folks not familiar with OSM: These restrictions are unique to projects doing automated submissions of mass data. If you're an individual just trying to make the world a better place, you can make an OSM account, go to th

It's a very specific way of saying "addictive," which I appreciate. Different drugs are addictive for different reasons, and redosing is triggered by different physiological inputs. Compulsive redosing refers to a short-term

My friend lives in a building with one of those super old elevators with the manual double doors and no queuing. It's the sort of elevator that someone probably got paid to operate once upon a time. Using such a primitive elevator gave

Actually yeah, that would align with my experience with it. You're absolutely right! Let me fix that.

Speed and cost. You can run the book through a typical sheet-fed scanner instead of using a contraption like this: https://linearbookscanner.org/ As for consumer-grade solutions, look for the Fujitsu SV600.

Very fun. Shared it with my parents and they're into it too.

That's exactly what I'm saying! It seems that there's someone in New York eluding suffering by messing around with aquaponics. Good for them.

I, too, bought a couch I could afford. It was new, but it was a cheap one. It's blue. When I bought a couch, I had a budget. What I didn't do was walk into the store and ask myself how this couch is going to pay for the square f

Over the last year I have seen an astonishing spike in poor-quality output within multiple employers. The problem with AI coding, ticket filing, etc is that you must review it afterward, but review would take nearly as long as just doing

Who cares? When you buy a couch, are you thinking "will this couch offset the value of the square footage it occupies" or "will this couch be comfortable and match my décor?" I'm glad someone is doing something fun

Interesting, I read both as emphasized. To me, the parens make the voice clear but the em dashes make it read like a typo.

Yeah. They also use em dashes to repeat a word with emphasis, something that is done much better with parentheses and italics. > And also occasionally — occasionally — one just needs a random dramatic pause. > And also occasionally (

This post is so self-consciously dependent on inserting em dashes everywhere that it kinda supports its own counterargument. If you're going to make a case for em dashes enabling more fluid writing and more distinctive voice, then you

I'm seriously considering one of the new Intel G3 handhelds as a desktop replacement. Consumer PC hardware has rocketed past anything I might actually use. I just don't need a desktop anymore.

How useful actually is this? It generates SVGs of pelicans on bicycles, sure, and some of them are (almost) spatially correct. But, none of them look good . AI image generation suffers from this more generally. You can generate pictures of

Prices for other handhelds have gone through the roof, too. And no, there probably isn't a way to retrofit. Deck OLED's internals were overhauled, too. The entire board is different, up to and including a die shrink, and rotating

I think you have some valid criticisms, but we have to take baby steps here. As you mentioned, multi-generation homes are not the norm in the US. If there is a change in that norm, it's worth investigating why that's happening, be

Another strong point. LLMs are a technology, not a product.

I think I see some parallels with the aftermarket for old cars. Holley's entire catalog is "here's a thing that'll modernize your 1960s engine without replacing the whole damn engine" This kind of thing is a low-vol
