Depends - i looked into it (with chatgpt's help) recently after getting quoted 270 euro for a spare fob for a second hand car I bought that only had one key. It seems like a kind of niche field with a lot of pitfalls and poor availabil

Thanks, for a minute I was wondering how to register for the online version of the course, as the dates seem limited, but looks like you can actually just jump into the content with the "Basics" and "Advanced" and work t

What I'd like to know is: who's flagging legitimate articles like this, and why..?

As well as video games, he's very influenced by sci-fi. My own theory is that he sees himself as a kind of Hari Seldon figure (can't remember for sure but think I saw him wearing a "Foundation" t-shirt at some event). Or

I'm guessing it's too late, first thing they'd have done is back up all the data somewhere..

Ah i see, i had tried right click and it wasn't working, but that was because I had a planet selected with its details showing, in the normal view it's fine. Makes sense not to pan when an object is selected, i guess. I just had t

Beatiful, maybe add a pan control, and configurable starting time + dt?

Nice. I wonder if the models could examine a transcript of a human debate and label the various fallacies invoked?

I don't really have a workflow but a nice tool is the OneTab browser extension ( https://www.one-tab.com/ ) which will store all the tabs from the browser windows, they can be restored later, links can be moved between g

FYI There was a good related article shared here recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40290447 It's irritating that many of the people who resist EV adoption because "it won't work, there's not

There was an interesting series on TV, "Downey's Dream Cars", where Robert Downey Jr. did conversions of some of his gasoline cars to various renewable-driven engines, electric, biofuel etc. On one of these, the original plan

I saw this article years ago and a switch flipped in my brain regarding plastic. https://izismile.com/2009/10/20/to_know_why_albatrosses_die_... It's egregious the way plastic is thrown at every problem.

YES! They could start immediately with items for which there's an alternative, e.g. cellulose kitchen sponge vs. the plastic ones. That should be at least as doable as the carrier bags and plastic straws and knives/forks that are

Wow, nice of him to go to the effort of telling this fascinating story and just put it out there for free.

I lose sleep over climate change all the time and I don't get this. Surely there are targets more worthy of these protesters' energy. Losing forest isn't good, of course, but Tesla is what made the current EV revolution, and
