Interestingly, that link is the first time I've ever gotten a Cloudflare HTTP 451. Apparently that site is banned in Japan for "gambling".

I watched a bit of someone's play through and was impressed by how much content there actually was for a one-off bit like this. I would have assumed they would have just made enough content to make for a funny ad but there's quite

If the consumers of AI aren't paying the marginal costs for the energy they're using, it's a market distortion and we won't have working market discovery of the actual cost performance of the AI. "Wow tokens are so

That's how it is here in Japan by law - zero tolerance, even one drink is too many. One solution is "daikou" taxis - they drive you home in your own car, with a chase car to bring the driver back. Where I live they're su

Another interesting use of bitmap fonts in HyperCard is to do smooth animations. The other alternatives for animation all have issues - flipping through cards or scripting the drawing tools are slow and limited, 32x32 icons are too small, a

One of the main reasons I went heat pump electric in my house (I could have paid less and stayed with tankless LP gas hot water) is I'm just not that comfortable with gas, especially living in an earthquake-prone country. Even if there

The Japanese "EcoCute" heat pump water heaters like this one all work like that. Our very similar in specs Mitsubishi unit keeps the internal temperature at 80 C, and the electronic control panel in the bathroom/kitchen let y

Typically Japanese homes are laid out economically so the bath is right where the hot water heater is. In our house from the 70's it's probably not more than meter through the wall to the water heater. Even in apartment buildings,

> How long do you sit in a bath? We love our baths here in Japan > My immediate reaction to this is, “there’s a way for my house to be remotely flooded”. I forgot to mention that it senses and automatically stops filling the bath

The ones in Japan go outdoors. Most homes in Japan for decades have been designed for Tankless Gas Water Heaters stuck on the side of the building so there is no room indoors for a water tank. The condenser unit for this literally just look

I live in Japan and last year when we moved from an apartment to a house we installed a Mitsubishi EcoCute heat pump water heater which already has these features and is also a CO2 heat pump. We have one of the "all-denka" electri

And the robots are just a few years away. I thought that spatial reasoning was going to be a lot harder for AI, but Astra is showing that progress on that front is also moving very rapidly.

GM wants to sell subscriptions and ads. E.g. they want you to pay for their OnStar subscription to use the Spotify app in their navigation system. They can't do that if you're just looking at CarPlay/Android Auto.

Other sites require you to make piracy a lifestyle, catching invites and seed ratios and shit. TPB lets me just get that one movie that isn't on any streaming service twice a year.
