AIs are pretty bad at rewriting, they always pick gimmickey marketing words. I always thought of Grammarly as a premium entry into that segment for proper professional writing. Shame it’s going the way of slop.

No we buy our OM4 fiber cables for pennies on FS, so we stock a box of virtually every length in 1ft increments. DACs would be way more expensive to stock in every length.

Ok but what about a dedicated OVH for example? Those are about 70% cheaper than AWS, so is it still worth it to colo?

Broadcom in nearly all cases (default Dell option, I think). Elsewhere, Intel.

UniFi SFP modules work fine in Dell and Synology servers, so contrary to most of the anecdotes in this thread I’ve always just bought the 20 packs and had no issues. Didn’t need reprogramming. The quality is fine, oldest modules more than 5

I’m further convinced in recent times that there is a general rule that always holds true: More distributed = less corruption = more utopia. So for example, fiat currency = bad. Gold trade = good. Blockchain = good. Single network = bad. On

AI (checks list) Yep, another greed machine that nobody wanted, driven by a wealthy minority and (checks notes) yet again dressed up as the savior of humankind. Let’s see here.. above SaaS and below Insistence That Green Energy Is A Scam.

At some point I stopped caring about backwards compatibility, but I can’t put my finger on it. Perhaps connectivity became so good that now as long as it works on evergreen, it’s good to go. We used to put a lot of effort into this stuff, b

This is such a difficult problem. You should be able to buy a “season pass” for $500/year or something that stops anyone from registering adjacent TLDs. And new TLDs are coming out every day which means that I could probably go buy mic

A good takeaway is to separate different domains for different purposes. I had prior been tossing up the pros/cons of this (such as teaching the user to accept millions of arbitrary TLDs as official), but I think this article (and othe

This seems like the perfect thing to mix with financial records (ie bank feeds) and a local LLM. I’m not sure what you’d use it for … exactly … but it could probably reconcile and figure out all your credit card charges based on your messag

The kind of person who would buy this doesn’t care whether it’s $2000 or $5000 probably. They care more about whether it actually exists and will arrive. Complaining about price, especially for something so niche, is useless feedback if you

I guess the probability of something hitting us is intuitively pretty low. Consider that in all of human history nothing significant has hit us, and now only in the last 20 years maybe we have the tech to see it and maybe launch a mission t

I really just want to know how it compares to ChatGPT and Claude at various tasks, but there aren’t any graphs for that.

I think you are mixing up general 3D modeling (the act of doing whatever to get a good visual result) and CAD (designing something to be made physically). Blender is not a CAD tool and wasn’t designed to be. Likewise, CAD tools will never b

(I’m an engineer, but making assumptions) I think physics kind of blocks that from working, a DJI drone doesn’t have the weight and inertia to do serious damage, and they are hella noisy. Can’t open doors. Don’t have servos to do a proper s

I, Robot is exactly why I’m concerned, but in this case it’s not a sentient AI gone rogue but any random script kiddie who can get on your wifi and send your robot commands. Or your neighbours robot. Or their own robot. We thought this migh

Umm, robots need to be certified and regulated to hard coded robotic laws or something. Before criminals give them guns, or strap explosives to them, or remote takeover and untracibly murder people in their homes then burn the house down.

One thing I like about Cloudflare is that each product makes sense on its own, not like AWS: go make access policies in one place, ACLs in another, and before you know it you have no idea how anything works without taking an AWS Certified C

Now that it’s possible, for anyone looking to start a new FOSS project… I would like if someone could please make a serverless spam catcher service that runs on workers so we can host it in front of self hosted email. Something like: - Blac

Is US dollar backed a good thing? At this point we should be backing things on gold, platinum. The Australian dollar has gone up about 20% vs the American dollar since Trump.

I don’t usually wear my ring day to day because it’s poorly fitting, but I wear it to meetings with private equity because I want to filter out anyone with that mentality.

Being able to burn away at a startup while you are studying would be great. Uni was the most productive time in my whole life due to all the free time.

I honestly don’t know if I would have seen and avoided that, it came up really fast. And based on the video it looked like a cardboard box or something not worth avoiding until it was within 2-3 seconds range.

Anyone know how to set this in the repo itself with a yarn config file so it applies to the whole team? Edit: too long to paste here, but if you ask ChatGPT it will show you how using a yarnrc file.
