This makes sense, though. They have to be exceptionally confident in the performance of the product and work to continually improve its quality and efficiency. Many other companies can get by more just as consumers of it, but the makers of the product need some of the best coding skills available.

Neat project! It's an understandable limitation you had to commit to, but I'm curious how you've found the distortion away from the equator with Mercator. Probably not really noticeable in any major way within the arctic/antarctic circles but obviously closer to poles it's going to get quite wonky.

I can't believe no one I've seen has called out the secret game! Go to Settings>About and then hold the center button for 5 seconds. I used to play so much of this bricks game in college when procrastinating from studying in the library.

30 indexers!? I’m seriously behind the curve with my 2. :-)

Are many of them highly specialized? Just lots of redundancy?

I don’t think many people were believing it was solved forever but just that there was a momentary disruption/decrease while they rebuilt it. But according to this report, even that impact was highly exaggerated.

Oh man. I did something similar but didn’t do the last mile with the cloud bucket and RSS stream and that seems key. I never have the energy to manually copy the mp3s over to the phone.

I’m not up to speed on Meta, but is that even possible? I thought they verified official IDs these days?

Please correct me if I’m wrong here.

I do feel that a lot of pessimists I hear keep banging away about hallucinations and untrustworthy outputs. It makes me think they’re willfully ignorant of the progress since they tried ChatGPT 3 several years ago and were underwhelmed.

I’m happy to engage in discourse on the impact and risks to environment, society, jobs, mental health, etc. There’s plenty of room for thoughtful exploration there.

The one thing I have no patience for is that LLMs produce nothing of value or have no technical worth.

Curious. FWIW, worked with no problems for me running ublock origin on Firefox/Mac.

Can you say more about where you're renting the RTX Pro 6000 for $1/hour?

And not even cold hard cash but “Cloudflare credits.”

What an offensive slap in the face.

Love this. I have a pile of nice Cygolites (both front and tail) that my whole family uses that are maybe 8 or 9 years old. Their capacities have largely dropped to the point that I need to charge them every ride or two. Maybe get about 90 minutes of use, down from 3-4 hours previously.

They're not user-serviceable by design but I've been pondering cracking them open and having a go at swapping the batteries. This post may inspire me.

I've got a pile of new 18650s lying around and hopefully the front lights use those!

You obviously didn’t read it, because he announced things they are commencing unilaterally and immediately.

And other proposals that require collaboration and/or regulation.

Back up your sentiment by reading the source.

Alas, no X account but I'll set a remind to check in again in a month or two. Cheers.
