It’s curious that this doesn’t exist really. All the components are there, location via GPS, the tracking mechanics are not particularly difficult once you know the orientation, and there are good open plate solvers. Maybe good sensors sudd

It depends very much on the furniture, I think citation needed on exactly which items you’re talking about. Name and shame! The big wardrobes? They are the worst combination of impossibly heavy, awkward to disassemble and expensive to repur

I still use chat copy/paste for this. Can't argue too much when the results work. The tried and tested alternative for niche Linux issues is browsing the internet and checking different options until something works anyway. I do r

I used to assume it was the fault of average human annotators. That the people who are paid peanuts to rank chat outputs preferred the pretentious sounding ones. It wasn’t until quite a bit into the LLM boom that companies started to pay fo

Unless you value privacy, pay for openrouter. You still get the benefits of cheap tokens and programmatic usage. 3090 pricing is something of a wild card. Since the only big-mem consume cards are the xx90s, and a 5090 is pushing $5000 , re

It's not worth engaging in the debate. People have complained that Prusa printers are expensive since forever, even when the MK3 was objectively superior to the alternative models. They would rather buy a $200 Ender and spend a lifetim

If it’s purely for experimentation then why not the DGX Spark/GB10? It’s up about 10% from release RRP which is quite good (you might argue it was overpriced then, but prosumer and workstation GPU prices are up 100% ). 4TB NVMe is not

Benchmarks test whether models can pass exams with a right answer or a green test case. I don't think the models are getting dumber, but they're definitely getting more incomprehensible to talk to. I've noticed this happening

Can I just say this website is great. It's an old-web rabbit hole of little experiments that are occasionally on the dangerous side, life commentary and the comforting lack of any significant CSS. Recommend going to the site map and wa

Apple makes this very easy. I broke an iPhone and bought a replacement. If you have iCloud, you login to the new phone and you can see which backups you can recover from. If you are transferring a phone, say you upgraded, it’s even easier.

I would say this is fine for lab work as part of a course. The majority of people have never worked in a laboratory environment before, beside what their school could offer. Precision balances, calipers/micrometers, electronic measurin

I’m starting to think this is why Opus suddenly started making 4-5 line comment blocks. They justify why a change was made and gives the next agent something to go on. I delete them and move on, but no amount of “don’t over comment” “match

If you bought RAM new, it should be warrantied. Most sticks are essentially lifetime support, but you’ll get a refurb. I definitely wouldn’t buy secondhand now, unless it was a very good deal. Corsair won’t honor transfers unless you’re som

Showing the exploration would be nice. À la RedBlob tutorials, seeing the solver work is part of the fun. As is I have no intuition for where the algorithm would spend all its time and where it can easily rule out. 1GB of RAM for the final

Oh yeah, emdashes are absolutely a tell, but I argue that they're nowhere near as abhorrent to read than the awkward phrasing that the frontier models like to use.

Bandwidth is still not free, if you cloud host. I had a client ask me to look into why their bill spiked 5x (admittedly not by much - from a few dollars to tens). They run a static site, and it turned out someone had inadvertently replaced

Using AI to write blogs doesn’t bother me in principle, but I hate the prose that gets left in. Even if it’s not AI writing, being human doesn’t give you a pass for writing like a self-help guru. This sort of grammar is straight out of Clau

They’re not that bad, but even a couple watts of power with no way to dissipate is going to get hot enough to burn you. Forced air cooling over a heatsink is really effective. 15W under load is much lower than a high end desktop CPU that ca

A custom domain and GitHub hosting has been fine for me. You pay the time cost of setting up a static site, but I’d take that over Wordpress. Writing articles is a markdown file and a push. If you need to draft in private, keep it offline.
