   Can we also kill Claude-written copy while we're at it? Or do we need a skill to declaudify the text of this website?

   Every company above 150 employees has to pay API prices as Anthropic won't give you subscriptions.

   Because the money that OpenAI and Anthropic have to pay those costs with comes from the users who pay for the service. There is no "passing the cost" of anything. The consumer always pays all costs.

   Of course it's not open source, there's no source to even be open or closed yet! It is Creative Commons, though, which is different.

   The correct action is to disable the button while the request is in flight so it can't be clicked a second time. Otherwise you won't see "user already logged in", because the user won't be logged in until the previo

   Doesn't the mere fact that the EU is trying to pass laws to erode privacy indicate that there is privacy to erode? The US doesn't need to pass such laws because there are no protections.

   Well, we don't tolerate it, that's why it hasn't passed yet. They keep trying, though.

    It certainly seems like they'll stop after they pass it.

    But then you might tap the button and think it's broken, because it does nothing. The light means "this button works", not "your desired action has registered". I guess you might want to fade it from red to green (r

    The problem wasn't caused by air conditioning, it was caused by burning fossil fuels. Perhaps we could find a way to have air conditioning without burning fossil fuels?

    I asked my friend "is the purpose of meditation just to feel existence?" and he said "yes, and also taking your fears, insecurities, etc and throwing them away", and something just clicked.

    I was discussing Buddhism with a few Buddhist friends this past weekend, and I randomly had an enlightenment. It was a very odd experience, I felt like I understood all the weird things I'd heard from them, and I suddenly became very c

    We mostly use the same 18650 cells everyone else uses for everything, it's not like we're waiting for custom batteries.

    Sure, but why are you assuming RC planes don't use the chemistry improvements as they come out?
23. 413.▲
    by stavros 4mo ago

    Yeah, and those come at 3.8V (storage voltage) already, so it's not like they were sitting fully charged.

    I can't read the article, as it's paywalled, but they're all LiPo/Li-Ion batteries, what's the difference? Hell, most cars just use the same 18650 cells we use, just a lot more of them.

    Lithium batteries age even just sitting on the shelf. I fly RC planes and we store our batteries at 3.8V to lengthen their life, but they still deteriorate even when not used. Like anything else, I guess.

    > This is a prime example of why programmers are not seriously considered engineers. I'm a programmer working in healthcare. If I ignore a safety issue anyone discovered, people die and we go to prison. Am I an engineer now?
