Why do the $20 subscription when the API pricing is much cheaper, especially if you are trying different models out. I’m currently playing about with Gemini and that’s free (albeit rate limited).

I wrote a bit of BASIC on my Spectrum but there was a reason they had keyword shortcuts on that keyboard. It wasn’t until I got my Dragon 32 which had I proper keyboard that I really got into coding.

My dad failed his 11+ so was sent to a technical school so he actually learnt how to lay a row of bricks or how to beat out lead flashing. He did end up doing a PhD in Physics but I suspect his early school years explain why he’s always been much more practical than me. My wife was a stage tech during uni so I’ll happily defer to her for joinery. I can just about solder a copper pipe or big pads on a PCB.

For range it doesn’t add much in most cases. But it also depends on how long between journeys you have. If you’re traveling in a van and you are going to be stationary for a few weeks at a time then it can start to make sense, maybe with an extra fold out.

You can, they are called canals. Look at the Nile delta and the network of irrigation trenches used to spread water from the river to the wider areas. There are a number of dam projects in Africa which are all about managing water flows.

The principle problem is when your divert water it’s usually at a cost to another area that was using it.

I tried all sorts of port forwarding tricks to get wireguard working on the VM that runs my HA instance to no avail. The trailscale solution works really well. The only real problem I had was magic DNS conflicts with DNS66 on my phone (which I use for ad blocking). In the end I just used a hardwired VPN IP for my HA connection.

There are even some reading guides depending on what sub-genre you are interested in if you don’t want to read the whole cannon. They all standalone pretty well though.

A bunch of generative filler text won’t games more immersive. Maybe there is some scope in giving the model hidden details you need to coax out of it LA Noire style but currently everything seems a bit gimmicky.

Alcohol isn’t that great as an organic solvent. Are you using the air fryer to evaporate? That must be a fair fire risk!

Butane on the other hand is a good organic solvent and will evaporate at room temperature (just don’t evaporate it in a room or near any heat source).

Random racists is just background noise these days. I was comparing media coverage and comments from panelists on things like question time. It was certainly an area of comment for Blair and less so for Sunak from my recollection.

I guess I didn’t notice in the coverage I watched. Was it the daily mail or just the dreges of the internet?

There was (manufactured?) outrage when Tony Blair converted after his premiership. I don’t think the topic of the current UK prime minister’s religion even came up when he was appointed. I guess that’s progress.

Liquid gas column extraction of organic compounds? I’m told that’s something you should definitely do outside!

Unpacked goods tend to have a lower shelf life so can lead to more wastage. It needs a holistic analysis from farm to table to work out the best trade offs for reducing waste.

The ISA may be open but I’m pretty sure the microarchitecture will be totally proprietary. Even with a kick ass microarchitecture they may still struggle if they can’t use the latest process nodes to actually manufacture the chips.

Having said that I suspect the main challenge RISCV is going to face is the software ecosystem. That stuff can take a decade to build and requires a degrees of cooperation between all the companies building chips.

That’s just an a architectural description, any non toy implementation is still propriety. That’s without solving the layout and tapeout for whatever highly propriety process node you plan to build on.

This is essentially what org-mode files are, plain text files with a bit of markup so they can be organised or rendered to other formats.

This seems like an excellent idea and hopefully provides a model for other media outlets to follow.

Have any actually passed yet? Sure LLMs can generate a lot of plausible text now better than previous generations of bots, but they still tend to give themselves away with their style of answering and random hallucinations.

I’ve heard of people waking up with accents but I’m not sure I’ve seen any cases where they speak an unfamiliar language fluently.
