I hope next up is the performance and bloat that the LLMs can try and improve. Especially on perf side I would wager LLMs can go from meat sacks what ever works to how do I solve this with best available algorithm and architecture (that als

Although PG isn't wrong here, people also have larger wrists nowadays that are able to comfortably support larger watches compared to ~50 years a go, never mind at the 1940s or 1950s.

Any reason it couldn't run on Raspberry Pi? Also, I have some ZHA sensors that I believe are also on 2.4GHz band - will this interfere with them?

This is awesome! I wish Omega, Zenith, Seiko and other watch manufacturers would do the same and publish their historic catalogs online! And auto manufacturers, and really everyone who is in the kind of business where catalogs like this exi

I think models will also become snapshots or time capsules (with obvious and non-obvious biases) that archaeologists of tomorrow (like in 500 years) will use to understand us and the change in society (e.g. how the models themselves change

Essentially you're paying human to be a proxy between the requirements, LLM and codebase. Some people I'm talking to lament having to pay top dollar to their junior (and other kinds I'm sure) devs for this, but I think this i

This should have been named NOTjson-somethingv5. Or similar. Now it is far from obvious for the uninitiated that this might not be the 'latest' version of JSON. And then they end up using this incompatible format by accident, when

But what about the heat sinks / fan when you mount the m2 on top? Especially /w Pi 5, to get more perf out of it, it presumably should have a sizeable heat sink complete with the fan?

You're probably not wrong. But I think we should recognize that what is humanity is rather fluid. If you were to talk to the 15th century clergymen, I think they would tell the horrors of printing press and how it has/will break h

Sir. You Win teh Internets today. This has been my gripe with HA for the longest time. That YAML / GUI-only / etc. approach is just atrocious. Unfortunately it works well enough, and there are little or no alternatives to it as fa

On stock rPi5 running this takes > 3 seconds. Three seconds to render 370 x 370, 8-bit/color RGBA image to ASCII on a 2.4GHz CPU. And this is my lead-in to rant about neofetch, which takes about 0.2 seconds to run on the same Pi (se
