I have a heap of ebikes, all 250w and 25km/h limited. A Bosch performance line motor on a MTB going up a steep hill is effortless compared to a budget shimano motor where it can barely make it up no matter how much effort you put in to

I take photos underwater (<2m) with my iphones all the time, all the way back to the iphone 6, never had any issues.

That's the conundrum isn't it? Anyone that posts their datasets would be immediately sued/blocked/boycotted to oblivion due to the obvious and blatant data theft, not to mention IP and copyright issues.

By my calculations 100k could get you 18 5090's + compute to host them, or 18 96gb Mac mini's. You can get a lot of context window and users out of that setup.

This HN account is also by the same user as github, this submission may be AI created. I wonder if they've let **claw run loose over their whole online presence and this is the result.

If any single country tried to create a whole production chain to single-handedly manufacture modern computer equipment it would be on the order of decades to see any result. Doing it on the moon is just not realistic this century, maybe th

Is this along the lines of rewind.ai, MSCopilot, screenpipe, or something else entirely?

Hmm my Namecheap domains keep the location details even with WHOIS privacy enabled. To be fair they are 7+ years old so maybe something has changed in that time?

Lol, this website is registered to someone in Iceland, despite the assurance that it is a "security researcher living in the UK". I'm sure the results from this experiment will make a cool blog post about pwning tech savvy fo

my M1 Macbook air can run LLM's pretty well.. worse specs than the latest iPad Pro (and iPhone pro wouldn't be too far behind).

That photo you have provided is from a temple in Indonesia, and the Indian temple story you have summarised is regarded to be false, the carving in question was likely added during renovation during British rule.

unless the account isn't important - don't. By the time you have a setup that isn't at the mercy of ISP outages, blackouts, misconfigurations etc. you have invested a load of time and money for not much gain.

Nothing constructive to say other than this is amazing. A very common idea but rarely done this well, great job!

NYT does not have any reach in Australia, and especially so with the population that lives around where the capsule was misplaced.

The developer has to enable running on Mac, but for those that have they run really well. Most feel perfectly native even though they were designed for iPad.

> Wraps can be a cheaper option, but they also have a very different look than automotive paint. The only people that notice the different look are those who "know", wraps serve the purpose for 95% of people at a fraction of th

Even the iPhone 14 Pro with its very much upgraded camera can only *just* start to be within the same league as a standalone camera when it comes to dynamic range. Noise performance, detail resolution etc. are all still woefully inadequate.

Amazon (the marketplace) invests it's revenue aggressively, although this serves as a loss on paper there is still a benefit to generating that revenue in the first place as it serves as investment dollars for other parts of the busine

Completely see where you are coming from now - absolutely agree. On your second point - where I am coming from is that there is nothing stopping countries from creating laws which introduce these powers and outlaw methods to avoid the new l

Right - but nothing is stopping them from making that law. Countries aren't simply going to adhere to a digital currencies protocol or allow it to avoid regulation because otherwise it goes against the "community spirit". Her

> but they can't force you to decrypt it if the key is lost or you don't give in. A very US-centric view is it not? Many places can force you to decrypt something by law. In fact the US does on entry to the country and can refu

Facebook already has similar functionality. Being in Australia, if I visit a large multinational companies Facebook page, it will redirect to the local page. Going to facebook.com/mcdonalds will redirect to facebook.com/mcdonaldsA

Depending on the amount of nodes you’re wanting, it usually is better to just grab an Intel NUC and virtualise. Much smaller than a RPi cluster and much more powerful.

"Battery Life" (Free) on the AppStore is good for checking stats as well.

The author works as a Security Engineer for google, not saying credentials are the be-all-end-all but I think they are able to claim themselves as a security professional without too much worry.
