Yep, prime membership went quite a lot up; prices went up; delivery times got slower after COVID; now they are also saving on packaging, which means Royal mail brings me broken packages held by elastic bands...

My cousin died in 2021 at the age of 28 after AstraZeneca vaccine. Quite unfortunate, they starter increasing the age group of people receiving that vaccine literally days after he got it. His parents obviously are obviously still struggling with it and will never really accept it.

it's a 2015 computer, surly we can (or at least used to be able until recently) get cheap computers in the UK

I really hate to say it, but makes it feel like not everything that Putin said was a lie.

How do you manage sending and receiving requests to multiple LLMs? Are you going it manually through multiple UIs or using some app which integrates with multiple APIs?

Raspberry pi didn't have built in WiFi until raspberry pi 3 in 2016 (of course you could use a usb adapter). I think around similar time esp 8266 (cheap microcontroller with WiFi) started becoming popular

My colleagues were talking about salaries in the range of $40-60k... About 8-10 years ago. And I don't think it got any cheaper

In the peripherial Europe, like the United Kingdom, fiber optic became available only in the last couple of years, definitely not early 2000s. There are still places within 80KM from London, near main train lines, where you can't get more than 50Mbps, so while probably most of the population of Europe has access to fast Internet, your statements are not entirely true. In 2012 average internet speed in the UK was 7Mbps and now it's probably around 75Mbps.

National museum of computing [0] in Bletchley houses a rebuild of the Colossus computer. The people who volunteer there are great and always happy to explain the history.
PS. Bletchley is around an hour on the train from London Euston. Bear in mind that even though the museum of computing is located in the old Bletchley park complex, it requires a separate ticket from the main Bletchley Park museum.

On the topic, the oldest original running computer[1] can be found in the UK in the National Museum of Computing based in Bletchley Park (where Alan Turing and many others worked breaking German cryptography). The museum requires a separate ticket from the "main" Bletchley Park museum. It's around 1h trip from London Euston. Well worth a visit! Among other items, they have a working "Bombe" replica

Slightly tangential, but if anyone is wondering how profitable could be running a charity in the UK: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/chari...
Last section shows salary breakdown for top (60k+) earners.
TLDR: Eben earns £450-500k and most probably his wife is somewhere there at £150k+

When I tried their drivers, eclipse based IDE and microcontroller pin configuration generator (cube something) 2-3 years ago it worked well on Linux
