I think there’s evidence found for the origin of “彁” as the result of a poor scan of a newspaper article. Look up “彁新聞” to find some japanese sources about this.

The API lets you directly choose the model you want. Automatic thinking is a ChatGPT feature since ChatGPT has always been a “GPT wrapper” in that sense.

The list of models to be retired is about ChatGPT. Those models are still in the API.

On the ChatGPT website, there should be an option to enable the legacy models in your user settings.

I don't think the dialog as described in the article is accurate and I can't find a screenshot of Windows NT that says "Windows has been shut down." The only screenshots I can find say, "It is now safe to turn off y

Looking at the photos, that calculator wheel on the back looks wonderful. Certainly better than the contemporary paper calculator wheel that I got with my Argus.

In my case, I wanted to edit some HDR environment maps. They are a 360deg image of the environment used for 3D work. They need to be floating-point so that arbitrary brightnesses can be captured and used to calculate the lighting in the sce

Totally, and Racket is cool because you can see it as a framework for creating languages. But Racket is built on top of Chez Scheme so you can also use that directly if you just want a Scheme.

This is interesting... when I visited recently I realized that Suica on Apple Wallet was more convenient than the physical card. The top reason is that you can use Apple Pay to top up your Suica whenever and wherever you are, without downlo

In my past life I built and sold dispatch software for microtransit / on-demand rides. (UberPool as a service, more or less.) What this article doesn’t say: * Many, many cities have something similar already, but only for riders with d

It's only a "failure" if you look at your net worth, right? It sounds like you have the experience, knowledge, and even resume of someone much older than 28. If you had instead spent ages 22-28 on a PhD, you'd still have

Have you tried Factorio multiplayer? I tried it with some other people and it really is like real life. Somebody put in an ugly hack to deal with scaling rather than rearchitect? Well, I'd like to fix it but it'll mean downtime th

We may not have forgotten that Heroku exists, but we may have forgotten that Heroku was an IDE. At least, I wasn't aware of it. Are there old screenshots of what it looked like?

I built a no-code web-app creator that also has a concept of blocks and I can relate to this. Each paragraph is a different block, and I still haven't quite figured out the best way of handling cross-block interactions like your exampl

It makes sense to me that gamers as a market are more likely to be brand-loyal and gaming is also more moat-able than hashing. For miners, they just want whatever does more hashes per second. There's no loyalty there and the hardware i

The numbers that they are providing are pretty reasonable and nobody is really disputing that removing the mining requirement and just staking your Ethereum is enormously more efficient. Even if you assume each staker is running 1 server, t

When you write types in Python, the interpretation of your type annotations are up to the type checker. Your annotations that you write for e.g. Pyre may not type check in mypy. The end result is that your type annotations are not "Pyt

Yayagram was submitted nearly a dozen times before it got attention, but when it did get attention it was extremely well received. Is it just that the ratio of submitted stories to people browsing new is too high, causing a low chance of an

On a split keyboard with two halves, you can independently move the two halves around. This is great if you don't like the Microsoft-designed angle or want to change the positioning. Other than that, probably just customizability in te

I'm currently using a Freestyle 2 but very tempted to get one of the keyboards featured in the linked page. The main gripe I have with the Freestyle 2 is that I'd like to be able to separate the two keyboard halves much farther. I

Range without an antenna is around 10-20cm. I was able to hold my RPi next to my ceiling fan and control it, but obviously that’s not very practical. Theoretically you could exfiltrate data with it, but if you have root access to the RPi al

If anyone has a Raspberry Pi and is interested, check out rpitx[0]. It bit-bangs a GPIO pin to transmit arbitrary radio, turning your Pi into a messy SDR transmitter. By connecting a wire to the GPIO pin you can transmit for tens of meters.

I think most if not all of the non-Wacom brands use UC-Logic digitizers. XP-Pen and GAOMON tablets should be pretty similar in price and capabilities to Huion-brand tablets. I agree that drivers are definitely a big differentiator. Most of
