(1) is certainly correct, they're poorly understood when it comes to interactions and they almost never have much clinical evidence for claims (thus they say "support"). There are also heavy metal contaminants in all sorts of

I am surprised this take is controversial. It really seems almost certain whenever enough money is involved in controlling narratives and selling things, regardless of the details. Certainly employees at these companies are earning more tha

My point was that using something heavily means you have an informed opinion about hating it. Hating something you have never tried is way weirder.

> I wonder how many in that poll have a negative sentiment about AI, yet are also heavy users. There seems to be some kind of disconnect going on? Being a heavy user seems like it'd create a lot of resentment if you don't actua

Because companies that want to go public need to look profitable or potentially profitable. And before they go public they have to release real, actual, legally demonstrable numbers for their costs and revenue anyway.

It's wild to me that someone looking for advice on how to do any kind of stock trading would be looking for a once sentence answer. I hope it at least has real citations to actual websites like, I dunno, fidelity or some other reasonab

Similarly, I put a repeater in an upper story of an apartment building in Boston and am reliably able to talk to people over 10+ hops. Right this second I'm able to talk to someone 99.5 miles away in Vermont. We had to create different

Why? They likely don't plan to make it out and it'll make them more famous after.

I admit it was a super meta-funny response, because everyone I see that's into meshcore thinks it's open source because of that repository and posts it after a 30 second google search when questioned. Then you ask them to actually

At this point I'll believe it when the money actually moves. There's been far to many "plans" and "commitments" and an awful lot of nothing actually happening.

It's so weird right? I keep hearing people say it's open source but like... where's the code then? I've tried to find it. I can find stuff for core components, but they lock features behind a delay-wall in the app. If it

Heh, I use MeshCore in Massachusetts and my layperson explanation is that MeshCore is for people who would be HAMs except they don't have the patience to take an exam. You're probably more correct, but not having the FCC as a barr

It gets messy when the other poker players are your mentors and family whom you love and respect, when the money is real, when the amounts to you feel enormous (whether they matter to the investor is a different story), and when losing carr

This is what I do, I'm a little confused by the issue. If you have a device that outputs HDMI just never connect the TV to your wifi. It's not like you need or want firmware updates if there's no internet connection. A much m

Imagine the process of solving a problem as a sequence of hundreds of little decisions that branch between just two options. There is some probability that your human brain would choose one versus the other. If you insert AI into your think

Don't most tech startups lose money for years before they maybe make a profit? I mean, I agree that such companies are over-represented in thinking about small businesses if that's what you mean. Normal companies have to be profit

I love uMatrix, but all evidence is that they stopped developing it in 2021. https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix I don't know the implications of that, it's the only tool I've ever found that lets me feel

I think what's important here is to reduce harm even if it's still a little annoying. Because if you try to completely ban mentioning something is LLM written you'll just have people doing it without a disclaimer... Yes, comm

It is an interesting point about handwriting as distinct from reading or writing alone. I appreciate it, thank you. I would not concede that speed is not as important as doing it correctly in the context of evaluating learning. There are ho

Definitely, it's always used GCC under the hood, and also just been the IDE. Arduino (the original AVR boards anyway) have always relied on GCC, and not just that but the entire open source chain that already existed for AVR-GCC. I&#x2

I recall AVR-GCC not only working just fine in 2005 but being the official method for compiling code for those chips. I used it before Arduino came out to target the same chips. Arduino was a nice beginner friendly IDE for sure that elimina

From context I can't tell if they mean the heated coils in a heat pump head, or somehow connecting to a traditional radiator. In older homes there isn't necessarily HVAC at all and instead there are actual radiators. I've liv

The combination with air conditioning and dehumidifying is genuinely compelling for the simplicity. Especially in new construction. But these things trickle down to renters last. And if the landlord installs it, you bet your ass the rent is

I listed a reason that impacts a third of houses. I didn't write an essay because the article lists plenty of others. It was just weird that they never mentioned the misaligned incentives.

I've got to throw out an obvious explanation. A third of the country rents. Renters pay the utility bills. Landlords pay for appliance upgrades. Why would the landlord put any effort into upgrading appliances when the cost of not upgra

Could you clarify what you mean about getting serial over the USB port in the context of debug pins? I've been using Teensy devices for over a decade and have always had it just recognize the device as if it were a USB to serial adapte

Moderation (the intent and success) varies to such a huge extent that it's practically silly to talk about moderation on Mastodon unless you mean moderation on a specific mastodon server (like mastodon.social). But moderation (the proc

I wonder if enough of them exist to even do a study like that. I have encountered side effects that probably no one has seen before, simply because of rarity and peculiarity of behavior. You don't run into a ton of people using both in

Can't they make it so that anyone from that geographical location is required to prove their identity and log in to view the articles? That seems like it'd be sufficient and sure I'd be annoyed at Wikipedia but if they linked
