So, and forgive me for being reductionist: is this essentially an online poll marketplace that incentivizes pollsters and respondents to game the results? If not, can you help me understand how my (admittedly reductive) summary is incorrect

Nevertheless, it got 2 out of 7 wrong, not just one.

Hey, that's a pretty clever way to make different styles easier to prompt by hiding them behind genre/style selectors. There must be some other re-work going on, though. I asked for a screenplay, and what was returned wasn't

I just want to use my own LoRa-enabled ESP32. Anyone know if that's possible? Or do I have to use a Ring-branded piece of hardware via UART or something like that?

I asked the question “How do barcodes work?” expecting it to be an easy one; “Stuff You Should Know” had a (wildly fascinating) episode on it [0]. However, the response was “No results found.” [0]: https://www.iheart.com/pod

12 U.S.C. 1817(b)(5) is the “regulatory framework” you’re looking for. The FDIC can levy a special assessment for literally any purpose it seems necessary.

The “special assessment” is levied directly on banks, and is referenced in 12 U.S.C. 1817(b)(5): In addition to the other assessments imposed on insured depository institutions under this subsection, the Corporation may impose 1 or more spe

I’d be more interested in the percentage of Americans, broken down by party affiliation and other demographics, that can elucidate even a modestly tenable solution to get the country on the “right track.” So much sturm und drang invades eve

It wasn’t immediately clear, but can Convoy be used to mutate an incoming webhook before fanning it out? So that a single incoming webhook can be “translated” to formats used by disparate systems?

Any plans to post schematics, or Gerber & BOM? What GPIOs are left? Looks like a very useful dev board!

The ESP32 can handle a 64x64 HUB75 display pretty handily. Several of them, even. There’s a solid library out there [0] that just pumps pixels right from memory via the ESP32’s built-in DMA engine. Adafruit_GFX is the supported library for

A criminally under-read book. I’ve recommended it to so many people.

Using a TUI for display is one of those ideas I wish I had a long time ago. Perfect for the Pi Zero, well done!

I have, and they are! I bought their 18x50 image-stabilized binoculars back in 2004, and still use them to this day. The first number refers to the magnification (18x) and the second is the size (50mm) of each objective lens, or the lens po

Can confirm that Huzzah32 runs WLED just fine. Really convenient to have that LiPo battery connector and charging circuit built in, too.

I used WLED to make an RGB LED effect-laden scarf for my wife, and then decided to add the same setup to a Santa hat. Now, as long as one ESP32 can access the other (either over the built-in access point or any shared WiFi network) the effe

It’d be interesting to see the intersection of AI-generated text+code and Ink. ChatGPT could go beyond writing short stories, and produce larger-scale works of interactive fiction.

I’d like to see them commit to free map updates for the navigation systems preinstalled in many vehicles. Every car I’ve owned in the past 18 years has used TomTom maps, and has charged for annual map updates. In the last 12 years, you’ve j

Or, the call for congressional testimony made sure they knew where he was. Or even more likely: the committee had no idea what the executive was doing.

I’d never thought of that; it’s actually quite a handy way to visualize how much of the year has elapsed! I can easily imagine a daily heatmap visualization could be improved by using a polar arrangement, putting each day of the week in a c

Have you tried including parts of speech (for example, as bigrams and trigrams) as part of the features considered in your model? I’ve had great success with stylometry that goes beyond TF-IDF with bags of words; including grammar patterns
