What happens after 20K books? I am at about 13K books, and I haven't run into any issues yet. I make extensive use of virtual libraries in Calibre, and tags for organization.

I have to back up the others: just buy the microfreak, it is awesome. It was my first hardware purchase, and I am so glad I got it. They keep adding functionality via firmware updates, so recently they added sample playback to it, along with granular synthesis. I added a volca drum and a multi effect pedal to my hardware line up, so now I can head out to my local pub and jam out without needing a laptop with me, and the whole setup fits in an old messenger bag.

I found it on there. It seems to include ArXiV.

First attempt it didn't try to respond, just said it didn't know anything about sparrows or coconuts.

I asked it to retry, and got this:

function calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(coconutWeight) { // Assume that a sparrow can carry a maximum of 1.5 ounces of weight if (coconutWeight > 1.5) { return 0; }

// Assume that the flight velocity of a sparrow is 5 meters per second // and the weight of a coconut is 0.5 ounces return 5 * (1 - (coconutWeight / 0.5)); }

// Example usage: console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(0.5)); // Output: 4 meters per second console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(1.0)); // Output: 3 meters per second console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(1.5)); // Output: 0 meters per second (sparrow cannot carry this weight)

Can any Monty Python fans confirm if this is correct?

One step closer to a dream I have: To describe scifi objects to Stable Diffusion, use the image to create a 3D object, print that object on my 3D printer. All on my laptop. (Well, I have SD running at home now, will have to see how the code for this runs when it is finally released)

Jeff Koons did that (kinda)

If you are referring to this section:

Mar 2019 - H. Left the company, all permissions removed except on one game which we were still using H.'s consultation on - The app was unpublished later on

04 Dec 2021 - Termination of H. (Former Employee) account because of multiple policy violations

26 Jan 2022 - Termination of our company account (Raya Games Ltd - AKA TOD Studio) without prior notices and warnings

I think the 04 Dec 2021 is Google's termination of the "H" account.

It's funny you mention this, as there is a big thread above that discusses his contribution to learning by reading, and his second point here is "Program. The best type of learning is learning by doing".

Makes me smile to think that one day my bank account will be drained of all its BTC because I forgot to patch my bedside lamp last tuesday...

I don't understand this viewpoint. This type of data is being misused already. I think it would be a net positive for individuals to get their own data and use it for positive outcomes. It shouldn't be shared with the world at large, but when I've tracked certain info about myself, it has helped me immensely.

I can second this recommendation. Mapy.cz is especially awesome for me as I live in the Czech Republic. It has more updated satellite imagery for the CZ than Google, and shows all the hiking trails quite nicely. And the download function works pretty painlessly.

I think that is kinda normal for lawyers though. In the Czech Republic (I've been here 16 years and work with a lot of lawyers) it's normal for lawyers to be "contractors", very few are salaried.

In fact it's a funny rite of passage for most lawyers: after graduation they have to work for 3 years for a law firm before they are allowed to take the bar exam and become "real" lawyers. During this time they earn a salary. When they finally become "real" lawyers by passing the bar, they get fired. :) And immediately taken back on as contractors.
