I see a lot of people writing about how expensive the hardware to run these local models is - but see no mentions of the Intel Arc Pro B50/B60/B70 which seem like decent value if you're not interested in Apple kit (as much as

I saw another article - can't find it now - with statements to the effect that transmission of Andes strain hantavirus is typically only between very close contacts, like amongst partners. But already the original couple who traveled i

Unfortunately it seems like it, our service has lost a portion of our Cloudflare connectivity. We use their tunnels functionality. Additionally, it looks like Pingdom/Solarwinds authentication is affected too - not a great look for a s

I'm the developer of the ExchangeRate-API.com service. Obviously it's upsetting to have our API used by a scammer, but our service couldn't have been involved in this hack beyond fetching a JSON-formatted response of up-to-da

Yes. Most houses in SA have electrically heated water stored in a tank called a geyser. There are other options - some apartment complexes have central heat pump hot water, some houses have on demand heating via gas - but the most common is

Long comments like this often look like they're going to present a serious diatribe but this is actually a balanced take. The line "The two mega coal power stations have been beset with issues as well" even radically undersel

Absolutely. That said, the bigger effect is actually from geysers since almost every house has one whereas batteries are not as widely spread. As the power comes back on the geyser will suddenly draw substantially since the temp will have f

Exactly. I've had conversations with friends about how much less effective load shedding must be now compared to when it started because of the proliferation of battery backup. At the beginning, an two hour cut would have reduced total

There are much stricter rules now, KYC on exchanges etc. But up until 2017/2018 I'd say the tax authorities weren't paying much attention and I'd be surprised if people with money who wanted to get it out didn't tak

Interestingly I wouldn't say it seemed so. AIDS devastated the political base of the politician in question and people who fought for the right to treatment were also politically popular. I think it may have just been a strange ideolog

The problem is that not everyone can afford battery backup, due to the poverty in our society the country basically has to have a reliable base load. Coming from the sections of society where everyone has solar, inverters, datacenter style

Exchange control has been somewhat relaxed compared to when I'm guessing when your parents left. It used be insanely punitive. Provided you have up to date tax clearance I think you can now take R11m out the country per year. So approx

This is correct. Due to how long these power cuts have persisted a lot of businesses, industry and the middle class & up have almost habituated to the levels up to 4. Shopping centers have generators, business parks have full solar and

I'm not sure there even could be 200+ currencies? There are only 193 members of the UN and many will share either the Euro or the US Dollar as their currency. E.g. countries like El Salvador just directly use Dollars and don't hav

I've experienced exactly the same as you both except all the way back in 2015 and so I'm going to offer some unsolicited advice in case it's helpful. I had never heard of panic attacks before I got one, had never worried once

Good point. I just presumed there was a general pattern at play - I guess because the OP's statement didn't mention any specifics that imply a sudden change in what they process. But yes, for certain types of a fraud it's ent

This feels like more like a Reddit post than an HN one to me - light on the details with plenty Russell Conjugation [1]. I know Stripe has had it's support lapses but I highly doubt they'd just suddenly suspend an account doing $1

Pretty sure this is the correct answer. I've had a D-link router in the past that could fail over from ADSL to 3G in the event that the ADSL stopped working. If just one backup isn't enough for you then this article [1] about a de

Yes, I've also been really surprised by this. The fact that South African wastewater coronavirus detection is spiking dramatically [1] makes me wonder if this variant could be a genuine step up from the current status quo. [1] https:&
