What most AI model users don't understand is (most here will know) that they are probabilistic (statistically based) and not deterministic (static/fixed). So answers to the same prompts can vary (wildly sometimes)

Thanks! I thought I saw something like this a month or so back, but could not find it again.

I agree there... I hate the posts that rattle on about non-real-world work. Real world now (for me anyway) is maintaining legacy code, fixing issues, and new development. Now, some of the problems others have with AI are super crappy prompt

Yeah, I do this as well. Some of the last large tools I built have been started with Gemini (I get it with my Google package), and even one with Copilot.

I stopped using any of the built-in skills and skills agents and tried to keep things in the model only, and that seems to work better for token usage for me. It took me some time to tune my skills .md, but it rocks on now. I use them all

Not all are built and are in use or fully finished. Toshiba flubbed up majorly a few years later and many projects were abandoned.

Nice! I was thinking about this type of deal last week! Good work!

Yeah, I wondered about seacraft reactors myself. I think there are many safety allowances for DOD vs. DOE. The DOD reactors are not publicly accessible (you hope anyway), and the data centers will be in and near the public. There are also m

Well, you do have to move a lot of earth and pour A LOT of concrete :) Many steps have to be x-rayed, and many other tests done before other steps can be started. Every weld is checked and, all internal and external concrete is cured, trea

I work in the sector and it's impossible to build a full-sized reactor in less than 10 years, and the usual over-run is 5 years. That's the time for tried and tested designs. The tech isn't there yet, and there are no working

Small or modular reactors in the US are more than 10 years away, probably more like 15-20. These are facts and not made-up political or pipe-dreaming techno-snobes.

I created a local-only web app to wrap up some of my favorite web haunts, with HN being one of them. It allows me to look at the headlines, and save any of them in a locale SQLite db that the app maintains. https://i.postimg.cc&

Claude has been getting "unexpected capacity issues" for a few weeks, but that's not down. I have been using it for the past few hours with no issues.

Is a web search worth the added power requirements? In the USA, limits are being placed on AI use in data centers due to the lack of generation to cover it all.

It's funny. In 2019 I did a couple of larger personal orders for play and upcoming projects. I got @50 STM32 (a few different), and 25 Giga RISCV chips. The order was a less than 250$USD for the uC's, some memory, and logics. I u

I have noticed that past few months that many smd discrete components are very low in number at many suppliers. You will see quantifies of less than 10k (a reel) of 402 package resistors. I feel that many OEM's are hording both CPUs, u
