Time box it. I play video games for 1 hour on Fridays. More than that and it makes me depressed.

I built a window vent with a variable-speed computer fan and an esp8266 that communicates with a CO2 monitor and raises the speed when the CO2 gets too high. I have a very fine mesh on the window screen that's designed to filter out pollen and dust. It works really well. I usually only turn it on at night, because that's when my wife and I are both in the room and the CO2 can really build up.

I noticed this a few years ago and decided to start giving any automated systems a special email address so I can filter automated email into a separate folder. I only give out my personal email address to actual humans. Its been a huge improvement to only see human-written emails in my inbox.

I've been a mc user for many years, but lately I've been using dired in emacs. It's quite powerful and intuitive to me.

I knew npm was a train wreck when I first used it years ago and it pulled in literally hundreds of dependencies for a simple app. I avoid anything that uses it like the plague.

In my experience, this is how it goes whenever there are more than 2 people in a conversation. The speed of the topic switching defaults to the fastest processor in the group, basically excluding any slow processors from the conversation.

You can always write in reverse like Leonardo DaVinci did.

The blog post says they'll be using Application Templates to implement this:

So touchscreen support will be like a mode you can switch on. I don't think desktop users will be affected.

Before I started self-hosting my LLMs with Ollama, I imagined that they required a ton of energy to operate. I was amazed at how quickly my local LLM operates with a relatively inexpensive GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM and an 8b model. The 8b model isn't as smart as the hosted 70b models I've used, but it's still surprisingly useful.

It's ugly because an "accept cookies" pop-up obscures half of the page.

Shouldn't kids with grandfathers have an evolutionary advantage?

Same here. My wife and I are both unable to login due to a forced password reset and password-reset emails that never arrive.

Or different instances of the site on the same server, serving different locales. Only one instance would be running at a time.
