Sure. So to bring it all back together: I don't think I'd want to rely upon having a rental pocket calculator to use. It could become unavailable at any time, for any reason. For something as common, inexpensive, and easy to

I used to have a box of SCSI cables and adapters, too. I could identify their function by sight, or even by feel if the sun got blotted out and the Earth was cooling and the only way to fix those problems was forming a correct-and-function

I do simple math like that in my head all the time, despite having had special permission to use a calculator in school. It was the same back then: Some quick mental math was often faster than using a calculator, so that's what I used

Cost, really. I buy USB C cables cheap. The last batch were Anker B8752, came in packs of 2, were bought online as clearance items from Menards. They were delivered for free to the store that I drive past twice on most days. They work fi

All standards-adherent cables that are adorned with USB C connectors at each end can supply at least 60W of power. This has nothing to do with feels.

That's because they didn't implement USB C correctly. Maybe it was to save less than a penny on the BOM, maybe it was arrogance ("it works for me! send it!"), or maybe it was something else. Whatever the reason, they

That only works on modems that don't support the (patented) delay requirement betwixt +++ and a command that Hayes instituted...which was actually quite a large percentage of them by the time v.34 came 'round. Plus, the string nee

It was an experiment. I didn't go into it with an expectation, or a hypothesis. The experiment was very low effort, and had very low cost, and it was the loose equivalent of throwing some shit at the wall to see if any of it sticks. T

I have a good friend who relies upon Starlink for connectivity for his home in southeastern Ohio (USA). We've worked through all of the other alternatives there, including using cellular modems with directional antennas mounted up high

Indeed. On a long-enough timeline, people will adjust to whatever it is that the sun is doing regardless of what the clock on the wall says. That's the way it has always been. So when we're talking about one second every once in

I used to use 4 of those with that same branding, Simmverter, on my first Pentium system. There were 4 variations of the ones I had, for each combination of Tall/Short and Forward/Backward. This way, 4 such adapters could be nest

I didn't realize that I was on trial and that there was a requirement that I back up my personal anecdotes and observations with working examples to prove their worth. In reality, there's no reason for me to do so, because I'

So all of these problems are intractable? There is no way that any of them can be dealt with at all?

Perhaps: At night, the solar-powered datacenter simply sleeps. (This doesn't fit every workload, but it can fit more than zero of them.)

Owning an EV doesn't necessitate spending a few grand to have a fast charger installed. They charge fine from a regular 110v US wall outlet -- they just do it slowly. And by "slowly," I mean: Somewhere in the realm of 2-5 m

Your description of this thing differs from my observation of the reality that I participate in. Perhaps we're holding it differently.

For me, minutes ago, as a Plus subscriber: I started up Codex CLI fresh. That version of Codex was 1.42.5. 5.6 wasn't in the models list. After I updated Codex to a newer version (0.144.0), 5.6-terra and -luna appeared in the models

by ssl-3 3mo ago
I use the $20 plan, but I don't code all day every day. With Codex, it is my experience that I can churn through a 5h window in no time with newer models -- especially when they're new. So I tend to use fancier models for plannin

That's not how the bot uses the word, though -- at least in my experience. The bot uses "gate" to describe a thing that only blocks, and can never open.

I'd like to choose Option C: The tomato is native to places like Peru and Ecuador, and eventually was moved to [what is now known as] Mexico as we kept bringing it further north. The tomato is Ohio's state fruit[1], but it does no

I think it's hard to generalize whether vertical farms are good or bad; efficient or inefficient. It seems that whether it works or not relies very heavily on the locality. In my part of Ohio, we have lots of farmland -- and plenty of

I was thinking about gated communities earlier today, in fact. We don't have many of them around here. But where we do have them: At a given time, the gate might be open or closed; passable, or impassable. The presence of a gate is

One thing I did recently with the bot definitely involved actual smoke tests, though: I was working with real hardware that can blow up in real ways, with the bot doing all of the circuit design work and coding based on my goals while I ju

That hasn't broadly happened yet, and it's even less likely to happen in the future with encrypted comms and locked-down firmware increasingly becoming the rule instead of the exception.
