I got a 32GB of RAM and a 6GB VRAM card; tried both 27B and 35B, with pi. And it's a laptop. Speed isn't exactly a concern for me, I can enjoy the real life while the agent is doing its thing. And while they appear smart enough on

Would you really like to take action and earn less money? Morality is dead...

I still can't take a device with a mid-range Mediatek seriously. Probably from my XDA days, where just its presence meant locked bootloaders and no kernel sources. Congrats on selling them but "assembled in EU" can't be

Still haven't seen anything we weren't able to do before. Faster maybe, but still rehashing everything humanity has achieved.

I do wish I had spare $500 to spend on something so vain. Your secrets may not matter as much as you thought when you go bankrupt.

That's not optimism, that's a dystopia - a world where most humans simply exist, with no meaning. Doing remote work on the road seems pointless as there's no work to be done anymore (also rest of the world has trains already

What should be viewed as more unique actually is how verbose North America is. Especially in the car part that I know of, watching car reviews online - road signs or even buttons in a vehicle that would be symbols in Europe or Asia are writ

In Europe most people don't indicate when approaching the roundabout; only if you're taking the first exit. Roundabout is basically a straight road that loops itself, so there's no need for blinkers when you're on. You i

Not sure about the technical reality here - until 2010s, singleplayer games didn't require an Internet connection, and for multiplayer ones you could download a dedicated server application, host it yourself. Only recently it became lo

Your abilities, while not taken away, suddenly become close to useless as there's a far cheaper substitute, and rationally there is no point in hiring you for anything. Good luck earning your keep now.

True, but that's not really a bad thing. It feels like the passion has been watered down, with less and less space for being yourself, with the need to self-censor for the sake of advertisers', with hopes of monetization of every

I'm tired of constantly having to prove I'm a human. Especially if it's trying to be lighthearted and fun on the surface, it just reminds me how Internet has fallen.

I thought part of the point was that the iPad would _not_ have internet connectivity. Nothing to distract you. No notifications to check.

> Closest feeling you can get to flying and a helluva lot cheaper. Hah, that's funny for someone who got into FPV quadcopters recently and just passed his motorcycle license. I might have a problem.

Usually a book title is a little more descriptive. And there's a synopsis or some other blurb on the back of the cover, to try to make you care a bit more than three words on a link on the front page of Hacker News.

Well, that's a description of 90s tech. In lack of the new technology that serves the user, old must make do.

Funnily enough, even with such emphasis on children, the problem is touching adults as well. And that's completely ignored. Movies in recent years have changed dramatically in subtle ways to work with impatient audience.

We used to have them. Devices so simple anyone with a hammer could fix. Maybe not open source as we understand it today, but rather - trivially reverse engineerable, often with schematics included. Most complex would be rewiring the motor o

That's gonna be tough; as author mentioned, they're made and sold primarily in China, for 3$ a piece (no wonder they're popular). The clones also have a different PCB design (it doesn't say nice!nano on it), so they&#x27

You can't really live like you're in the 60s. Food and accommodation and other basic costs are going up all the time. Young people in entry-level jobs can barely support themselves while renting a room with flatmates. Standards of

Funny, growing up in the same world I'm coming to the exact opposite view - instead of unique poops and kids using limited tools in the most creative ways, we'll be getting rehashes of everything, looking mostly the same. Yes, med

They really couldn't have waited any longer after announcing the shift to AI mode. Almost immediately. I'm sure the employees who worked on it must be terribly proud.

Mostly because CS career advice was always "have some personal projects to show off". Either fully single-person, or be a contributor. And over time, it has soaked some of the corporate, CV-driven development culture as well.

The scary part is, some people do want them. And from that, they will just keep getting advertised and pushed onto customers anyway.

The simplest solution of a video file on flash storage with the cheapest, minimum hardware required to display it would make it pretty much unhackable. On the other hand, I am not sure if the ad industry can resist getting it connected to t

It's a cultural issue, always feeling the urge to update to the newest possible package for things that are already working fine, without even reading the changelog to see if it's applicable. Cooldowns are only a way to force a bi
