That's unfortunate. I've found it to be a valuable resource in the past. Hopefully they are able to recover their site.

AI solves Captcha's just fine. Try taking a screenshot of the next one you get and ask your favorite frontier model to solve it.

Of the models I've tried lately, I get more value out of Gemini for personal stuff like researching products or learning how to do things than the others. It seems more factually correct in domains I know about and hallucinates minor stuff less than the others.

For most of my waking hours, my phone is sitting next to me on my desk, couch, or table. Carplay has my back when I'm driving. I honestly don't miss any of the notifications from my smart watches.

I set expectations with my team that it's only an emergency if I call or page them. I don't have Slack notifications on in my personal time, I don't expect my team to either.

After wearing an analog watch for two years, I'll never buy another smart watch.

I do not need to be so connected to my phone that my wrist vibrates when someone texts me. The little reminders to stand up are ignored. The guilt at the end of a day when I didn't get enough steps in is gone. And I have a newfound appreciation for the pure craftsmanship that goes into making this tiny analog device on my wrist that is powered by tiny springs and gears and somehow crafted well enough to be accurate within seconds per day. It's also the one piece of jewelry that is socially acceptable for every single man to wear and can be a fun expression of self given the sheer variety of watches in the world.

On the flip side, I've been using them for years with no issues. I jam pack them full of filthy dishes and they come out perfectly clean every time. I use high quality detergent, rinse aid, keep the filter clean, and regularly run dishwasher cleaner through it. I wouldn't have any other brand.

> My favorite interview question: If I gave you a swarm of autonomous drones, what would you do with them?

What signal are you looking for with that question? It feels much more like a thought experiment with friends while having a few pints than something reasonable for a job interview.

You can let a local LLM run loops all night or all weekend and it costs nothing. It works offline. There's no rate limits. Privacy. You aren't tied to the whims of the US Government banning models. You can tie it in to HomeAssistant for home automation tasks very easily.

That site works fine in Firefox.

What are the foolish maneuvers that China is making?

For fun, I ran some numbers here.

If we wanted to launch the Stratos Hyperscale AI Data Center, which will take 40,000 acres of land, to space, we're looking at roughly 3 million tons of equipment, or 3 billion kilograms. SpaceX charges $1520 per kilogram, so it would be about $4.5T to launch all of that into orbit. We'll just assume the space station already exists and labor is free to hook it up, given that we've already hit the annual budget for the US federal government in launch fees. And it'll take about 47,000 launches to get the equipment there, or roughly 300 years.

What problem is solved by putting a data center in orbit?

You can solve all of them far cheaper and easier on land.
