I have two and one stopped working, but they were great and sent me a replacement motherboard and a toolkit to swap it over. Did you try reaching out to them?

I bought 32 and wished I got another 6 for the south west aspect of the house ... but still, producing 11mWh a year in the UK on an east/west aspect, electricity bill for the year (even with all cars in the household being EV's) i

Library and Archival management systems Lots of written work pre 1582 that needs to be accurately catalogued. Source: I used to work on one of the first computerised library management software systems, and plenty of our academic customers

Yep - it's a game changer on the Pendolino trains I get to work as they tilt going around corners. Most people seem to be fine, but for me, it was impossible to get some work done on my commute until vehicle motion cues were a thing an

Her youtube shorts are also good bite-sized explainers. The one on why "ghost" traffic jams occur was illuminating.

On SFO to LHR flights I tend to eat in the lounge, down a shot of Dream Water and just sleep until LHR. Sadly the Virgin arrivals lounge closes by the time you get through immigration and baggage collection, so you'll need to grab a bi

You're telling me. I had a drive go bad in my 4 year old home-built NAS a few weeks ago, and it cost 2x what it originally did to buy the same capacity drive, and that was going to a grey-market importer on eBay, it was more on "r

Chat Control 1.0 is essentially the existing derogation that allowed cloud providers and messaging apps to do what they do in the rest of the world - voluntarily scan shared media against NCMEC hashes and novel CSAM image classifiers. We&#x

Yes - this allowed companies like Google, Facebook, Snapchat etc to do what they already do (voluntarily) in the US and other territories - scan unencrypted user-uploaded or shared media for matches against NCMEC hashes, and image classifie

I've flown upper deck on a 747 in Business (BA Club World). It felt like a private jet up there, very cool. And that's even with the awful club world seats where you had to step over your neighbour to get to the aisle.

You're focussing on inference ... is it not more likely that A100's are being used for training/fine tuning?

Because they have the skills necessary to help bring custom designed ASICs to fruition. Google uses them for their TPU's, Meta uses them for their custom ASICs as well.

I mean - that looks like a pretty easy CSS fix to play around with in developer tools, and I'm not even a frontend person. Maybe a few minutes max?

I worked on Child Safety for a time at Meta ... I'm guessing all of the people working on that will be exempted, lest they train the model on actual CSAM.

I wonder if the decent wade depth (500mm/20") of the i-pace's they use was input as a constraint.

Which makes sense - the british called it flattening the curve. No matter how well funded your health service, it doesn't have enough beds, staff or supplies (like ventilators) for a widespread pandemic, because that would be wasteful

Perhaps fairer to say post germ-theory pandemic. During Spanish Flu it was in its infancy. During the black death it was all about miasma. Also, the window for spread with the ability to get on a plane and be on the other side of the world

This was one of the reasons why, when looking for an EV, I went with the Kia EV6. All of the buttons on the steering wheel are physical buttons, the heated seats, steering wheel heater etc. all physical buttons. The only blip is the capacit

I'd need to read the actual paper, but isn't poor sleep also correlated with "shrinkage" in the brain? And when you have a baby, sleep is one of those things that you don't typically get enough, or high enough quali

You're comparing Apples to Oranges (with Apple). about half (80k) of the equivalent fulltime employees at Apple are involved in the store footprint, so they're retail staff in one of their main sales channels. And as other's

For those looking for something at a decent price for up to 5TB, take a look at JottaCloud, which is supported by rclone, and then you can layer restic on top for a complete backup solution. JottaCloud is "unlimited" for $11.99 a

With "smart" appliances that can be controlled, there's often a community integration to HomeAssistant ... and then there's the free EMHASS addon which will optimise for profit, or self consumption based on energy prices
