I'm going to take a while guess here and say this strategy is part of their plan to get even more access to more code to learn from. If you can see entire version histories of how code is generated, what bugs occur, what fixes are made

I didn't see a number for cycle life. That'd be my biggest question here. You can charge in less than 7 minutes but how many times before performance (capacity) degrades?

Fascinating 20 degrees C is huge. What's a fair bit of water? At what time of day and how long did you collect water?

Hi OP, this looks super cool. I remember hearing about this ( https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ) many years ago but have never done it. Curious, what are the prerequisites for this? Do I have to know about how kernels work?

Do you have a good resource for learning what kinds of hardware can run what kinds of models locally? Benchmarks, etc? I'm also trying to tie together different hardware specs to model performance, whether that's training or infer

I am really surprised. I would have guessed that a Nobel Prize would be awarded to advancements in the field itself. Not for inspirations from it or to tools that led to advancements. Although as I write this I'm sure there have been s

I'm really curious - how will this affect sites that monetize off of affiliate links and ads? It seems to me that AI summarization and overview will deter, at the minimum reduce, the number of page clicks and traffic to sites that are

I agree with the entrepreneurial DIYer aspect of it. But I do think sitting in front of screens all day screams for a longing for nature. Also I think there might a counterculture aspect to it, which ties in to your reliance point. Growing

Apologies for the late reply. I have set my limits on HN use in the settings. :) I took Permaculture New York PDC class ( https://www.permaculturenewyork.com/ ). It was all online but many are in person. If you reach out to m

I am surprised and not surprised to see this here. I often see themes of burnout, wanting to get back to nature, existential questions surrounding tech and similar here on HN. I took a permaculture class earlier this year, after having rese

Is anyone else excited purely on the basis that this isn't a hardware product from Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon or some other large company? I know little about it, but it looks great too.

Sadly I agree. I've seen this a few times in Silicon Valley. You take an open source project from here, take another one from there, take some code from someone's Github, forget about the licenses (because who is going to figure i

I definitely understand this point. Another alternative is Python (with numpy, scipy and matplotlib) using the Pycharm IDE. It has many of the features you're talking about.

The skill you're talking about is called listening. Listening with intent. Listening with the intent to understand, not just to formulate your response. "We typically seek first to be understood. Most people do not listen with the
