~85 years prior to the 1915 fair, Stephenson's Planet 2-2-0 steam loco was operating commercially between Manchester and Liverpool (5 built in 1830). The planet was a version 2 of his earlier Rocket already operating between the cities since 1829/30 - utilizing a very design with the boiler between the wheels layout that almost all steam locomotives eventually adopted.

Rookie pseudo-footgun - assumed skill exceeds capability error - usually accompanied with blameshifting pronunciation as demonstrated here. Anyone familiar with UTC/tz from another platform (e.g. excel) would be mostly immune or able to quickly identify and remedy.

I really hope this is my last x86-64 CPU, Intel has become an incompetent steward. The "killer feature" for AVX-2(56) at the time of original release was basically lag/jitter-free video playback. IMO, 512 should have never been released for desktop CPUs and restricted to servers. One day I will to switch to a mainstream Neoverse dev box running linux. I also target Cortex-M in rust, so it's got a lot of the typical issues related to missing docs (e.g. bringup of non-heterogenous cores, meaning that M3/M4 still can't be used in a big.little chip)

Reuse is bad / NIHS is good and it's hard to reach token metrics using accepted engineering practices. That leads to the point of having the LLM invent a new specialized job security chip architecture for your IR just to run CRUD app.

I bought a tablet to use with Krita and settled on Manjaro because Ubuntu had so many tablet issues. Everything I tried is especially bad with 4k touchscreen/pen. I started with KDE, then Gnome but DE really didn't matter because they're all so terrible - it's now for watching videos or travel only.

And then the US advertisers came up with "hydration breaks".

Or is it? Could it be the well established low-effort tendency when the dominant culture is shopping centers, vehicles, similar eating establishments, and the style of suburban housing to a large extent? That would surely encourage the LLM to emit in a similar manner. That sameyness provides a signal of comfort and familiarity.

Seriously, Are we nunchaku yet? If so, I would like a Bruce Lee edition in classic yellow.

No company is measured by "value provided" on any market, it's a feel-good metric. And you\re playing word-games now despite even saying you're not trying. Like I stated earlier, it's entirely a sophomoric take. And now I understand why.

I've been looking for a site like robotica.dev that pulls together news and events from multiple sources. The funding page is awesome and unexpected, a really useful mini-crunchbase for robotics.
