This. It seems to light my usage of my max plan on fire. I’ve gone back to opus because I run out of usage in my five hour window so much more quickly.

I'll give ComfyUi a try. I love that idea. Thanks!

Has anyone figured out what AI tool the "Mr. Explosive" team is using to make these? I find the quality of the LEGO animation to be really good. I have made stop-motion LEGO videos in the past, and this is impressive. Thanks for a

That’s really interesting. I always thought grocers probably tied loyalty cards and credit card hashes but it’s interesting that it’s been in home improvement that long.

I’ve noticed a recent change in Walmart Scan & Go (Walmart Pay) that really illustrates how far their purchase tracking goes. If you’ve set up Walmart Pay with a credit card, and you later use that same physical card in-store, Walmart n

My issue with it has always been that I just don't think the way TDD requires. I think in terms of building features. TDD generally requires thinking in terms of proving behavior. I still can't wrap my head around first writing a

Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I have it on top and under the paint. I'll take a look at these for the uncovered portions.

I bought my 2018 Wrangler with the same idea... keep it for life. That was also the last year they offered the "lifetime" warranty. Glad I went for that. So far, the Jeep has been fairly reliable, with my issues being: - Electric

Actually, now it's now $6. :-) That seems unbelievablly cheap and it appears to last for 10 years. Thanks for the link.

What sticks with me about Pet Sounds, aside from its unique sound, is that Brian Wilson put sand in his house around the piano to make a more physical and emotional atmosphere in which to help his creation. Here is the only photo I have se

This is so great. Thanks for the context. What a wonderful time.

OMG, I just watched that. Amazing. I get it now, and it is supremely simple but jaw-droppingly so. When would a show like this be on? I don't remember anything like in the States in 1985 (I was rural though). This video is like today&#

Thanks for that! That makes sense and is very cool. In the US in the 80s we did something similar from the radio (the UK probably did too). So, I assume it was a similar principle. Love it.

For those in the UK at the time, how was the code consumed? It sounds like the BBC Micro was somehow hooked up to the same "cable" as a TV. Is that right? Did it decode the data automatically, or did programmers at home have to bu

I have always heard of different conclusions from too many choices. It was from a study known as the "Jam Experiment." [0] They found that in a grocery store that if customers had six choices, they bought more jam than if there we

I completely agree with this. It would be nice to try it with SAAS and then buy a local license. It is similar to the Tydbit device [0] where you can program the device but it runs on their cloud. That is fine unless Tydbit goes out of busi

I drew a similar conclusion from the abstract as you. The only negative I could think out of that is with higher essay scores, one might expect higher knowledge gain, and that wasn’t present. However, I agree that that doesn’t really seem t

Yeah, perhaps my "advantage" is that I am a Ruby guy. So, I had little real Python knowledge to trip me up. :-)

The detail and knowledge shared in these three paragraphs are why I love Hacker News.

I'm not sure the author captures it perfectly, however... There is a lake in the U.S. that crosses the borders of Idaho and Utah. On summer weekends, you'll see the Bear Lake Burger Boat trolling the waters. Swim or float up to it

The way this author[0] took complex scientific processes and made them understandable to someone without a science background is admirable. I want to try and emulate this when I write for non-technical audiences. [0] https://miami

For reference, Section 230 still provides liability protection for most types of user-generated content (in the U.S.). The 2018 ruling was centered on removing these protections related to sex trafficking. There is still a drumbeat to remov

Maybe it is not what you're looking for, but Fire TV, included within the Echo Show 15, is pretty snappy. All my TVs have Apple TVs connected, but my Echo Show 15 in the kitchen does a fine job of plating YouTube TV, so I can watch sho

If you like things like this, you might also like The "Making of Star Wars" books by J.W. Rinzler [0]. They provide a view of how the story was made, the people who made it, and many interesting facts. [0] https://www.a

I bought it, too, and am excited. I woke up at 4:50 AM PT to make sure I got it on Feb 2. I was on the fence, honestly. It's a crapload of money. The battery life is worse than a Gateway Laptop. There is no killer app. That said, my fi

I agree. My sister wore a monitor for ONE night to track her blood pressure while she slept. It was not pleasant for her. I can't imagine tracking it like your wife -- over weeks. I hope it is working out OK for her.

I would love to track my hypertension with an always-on device. The cuff measurements are very point in time. If the device was measuring almost constantly, then I could see which of my behaviors positively and negatively impacted my blood
