I remember this! Its crazy because the comments section on that thread seems more curious about the setup (with albiet one long thread about home costs). Massive contrast to this one.

I feel like this has already been a thing, at least in the US. In aldi, there is a popup when paying that asks if I want to bnpl.

stories like this give me hope. If a company is willing to pay for this dingus's ticket (or they can afford to pay out of pocket), I might be able to break into the cybersec industry :)

You could replace "robotics" with "AI" in what you wrote above, and it would sound like what people were saying about llms when they first came out. Not trying to glaze one way or another but historically this take is ou

Electronic devices that only need to do a handful of basic things like smartwatches and ereaders theoretically have less software complexity, which makes writing good software for them theoretically easier. in the age of ai, the threshold o

I feel like these games exist- they just aren't popular, or are typically subpar in one way or another. The problem is that I feel like video games have become like music- there is innovation happening in genres, but there are so many

Does anyone know how to get math and formulas to play well if I am switching to libreoffice? This is genuinely my only concern. It seems that inline formulas are difficult and clunky to edit.

It's really hard to recommend Prusa for the average person when non-enclosed printers go for 1k usd and multifilament is >2k, while creality and bambu go for 700 for multifilament, and much cheaper for single filament. I'm not

The tech behind this is fascinating- isn't this just how a wiimote works? So simple yet shocked that no one has thought of this before. Pricing seems incredibly reasonable as well (30$ for a lifetime license). If I didn't have a V

Ada Palmer is also the author of "Terra Ignota" which is a highly philosophical and operatic sci-fi series. Incredibly ambitious and unique imo- highly reccommend

From the perspective of someone with a touchscreen windows device, I agree. I rarely used the touchscreen not because it wasnt useful, but because it was unwieldy on windows. I bought a 2 in 1 and the experience is much better, simply becau

I think its because compsci people know what they need to a greater degree than other majors. It's easier to upsell a computer to someone who doesn't really know about computers. It could also be possible that compsci kids have a

this is personal anecdote, but I've noticed that the overall quality of comments has plummeted quite drastically within the last few months. It's a little disappointing since its why I left reddit. Thankfully, the insightful comme

this is truly a seismic shift. I also wonder if it will now be easier to block these ads- there is no need for a sponsorblock type "time skip" when we can just identify ads based on metadata.

a lot of people buy rpis because they are the only reasonable option for connectivity with power. I'm not sure what other devices you can get that have gpio and mipi connectivity with the ability to (potentially) run vlms and llms on t

It was really the only reason I considered getting one. I suspect this will be relevant to more people than you might expect- iirc it's the only titanium (metal?) credit card you can get without an annual fee.
