I too have been burned by the BBOC, although not as badly as this: I picked out a random short ethernet cable that looked nice (it was flat) to connect my wifi AP to my router. It took me about a month to realize my 100mbit internet connect

So at 2am you would have thousands of cars driving around empty? Or would you still need a giant spot of land to park these things outside of peak hour?

Celsius is not really related to the metric system. It's just a temperature scale the entire world (minus the US) agreed to use.

It basically makes it impossible to have it build a very large feature incrementally. I am currently building a very large feature and the only way to do this properly is to do it in small steps. No matter what I prompt, I always have to sp

The garmin has so much battery life that when it's at 10% and starts complaining that the battery is close to dying I still have about 2 days to remember to charge it. And obviously you don't get penalised for charging it more oft

Surely it shouldn't be to difficult to come up with a sort of plugin-type approach like I've seen in various 'comments' sections on existing websites: Simply embed the 'update' feed on a page in the existing we

It almost seems like we need laws that information about public services have to be available on a public website (as opposed to a third-party website that requires registration). I personally do not know anyone in real life with a twitter

Definitely slower to use a card or your phone in London. I remember when they first allowed card use more than a decade ago and it broke the flow quite a bit at rush hour as people were so used to the Oyster card's timing that they&#x2

One of the many reasons I moved away from ipods is because iTunes (which was awful; some of the worst software I've used) did the same thing to me just before I went on a trip. I thought to myself: "I better add these two new albu

It's not just claude, all AI is unable to produce something concise. On the surface everything looks 'good' whether code or prose, but then if you dig a bit, try and understand the whole text you quickly realise that 80% of i

Early 90s maybe. By the end of the 90s and definitely early 2000s CRT screens were 1024×768 for the cheap crap and 1600×1200 for the high-end (with 1280×1024 as a mid-range).

Was the answer key stored on huggingface's servers and this is public knowledge?

This is definitely weird and I'd love to see the prompt. Why would the model spend 4 days hacking into a machine if it is clever enough to just 'solve' the issue given? So either the AI is actually not very clever or useful

Why not read both FT and the Economist? Both are well written and well researched and although they both take an ulta-capitalist view of the world (might be good to also read something more socialist-leaning), at least when it comes to soci

iPhones from that era constantly booted apps out of RAM when you toggled between them, making it really slow to have more than a few apps open at the same time. These issues pretty much never happened with these big RAM android phones. I kn

> In my city public transit fares only cover something like 10% of the cost. Isn’t that fairly typical? Quite a few areas have their public transit fully funded by users and some even make a substantial profit. ( https://en.wik

I've done this wherever I lived. In a large city, you can often just walk in one direction, (or take transport in one direction), find yourself in a new neighbourhood and discover loads of interesting things (culture, food, shops, park

The most extreme example would be child prostitution or child porn, in my opinion. But I guess it would be authoritarian to deny people from purchasing such services/items???

Quite a few countries do not allow dual citizenship. So a person who was born in the US and is therefore US citizen at birth will not be allowed to have that country's citizenship until they revoke the US one. China and Singapore are s

I have never ever heard a commentator say something like "Arsenal are currently winning with 2-0 against X". It is always leading: "Arsenal are currently leading with 2 goals against X".

Did you manage to get it to work without a functioning screen on the phone? I believe that unless your phone already has debugging enabled and the machine was already added a trusted machine for debugging, you're out of luck for contro

I agree, it also goes against the Linux "way of doing things". For example, Opnsense uses the dhcp portions of dnsmasq only (and unbound for the dns parts) which just feels 'wrong'.

Definitely does. I used to wear them every night and they definitely improved my sleep. But then I also had instances where my ear was blocked with wax for several days. YMMV

I always see SP a combination of time and risk. I think a lot of people do not include risk in the estimate. So a story might be estimated at 3SP to implement but there's a high risk that it would blow out (e.g. idea was not fully prov

As someone who works in a Microsoft shop with Copilot, I am curious to see what happens. Due to data governance it will be difficult to move to a different provider. At the same time, this price hike is so large that the ROI on copilot will

GitLab is what drove me to forgejo, it just became unsustainably slow.

And once you start self-hosting, you realise how slow the 'modern' web actually is. I host forgejo on a single NUC with a bunch of other stuff in Proxmox, the page loads in 6ms! Immich is not quite as fast but still a ton faster
