I think it’s funny that all this started from an ice maker, since that’s where he got his mini compressor, and now it’s back to making ice.

I do wonder about the efficiency of this, compared to a battery and a regular AC. I don’t know enough about compressor efficiency vs temperature and how having the water freeze over the coils affects that.

I can’t read the study, do they define a cup? Or is it the ever nebulous ‘a cup of coffee’. My machine claims a cup is 5 oz, some say 6, some of us don’t even agree how big an ounce is. I thought scientists were supposed to use ml!

The way eink display prices scale is insane. You can get a 13 inch one for like 200, but any bigger than that it skyrockets. Must be that they still struggle to get good display yields across that large of an area, defect rates or something.

I for one am totally here for the new wave of kids who record rather than react.

Only their tiny hands can keep the machinery running or whatever that snowpiercer quote is

Matlab’s moat is that their shit mostly* just works, and most people uaing matlab arent the same ones writing the check. Basically no dependency hell, no random broken libraries, no 30 different 3rd party options that for the same thing. If matlab has it, it almost always works, as expected, and they’ll sell it to you and give you support if you have a problem. Stay inside Mathworks domain, you’ll have a pretty good time. Basically I’m saying matlab follows the zen of python better than Guido does

As someone who has swapped from matlab to python, mathworks puts in real work from all the money they pull in. Shits expensive, but you get like… 50% of what you pay for. Even better if someone else pays. We did it for the money savings, but it definitely cost us extra dev time doing dependency management and version upgrade testing, and all kinds of little things.

*I got some issues with how they changed how figures are rendered, and that generally was causing issues during the changeover.

The money comes from all the other users that bet the other outcome when the odds were a specific thing. Polymarket pretty much can’t lose money on a bet having a specific outcome. If people werent betting the other side, the odds would be different

Ohhhh, so it’s part of the sap collection process. That makes sense that you gotta get the sap out of the vacuum side as it fills up, without pressurizing the whole system

What’s a vacuum releaser? Are you doing this to reduce the amount of boiling the sap you need to do?

It’s a fucking battery? Sorry Tactical Energy Kit. Except they don’t mention any of the important shit to it being a battery. Namely capacity, weight, maximum input power, maximum output power.

I guess it’s at least ruggedized. But tbh, it looks like it costs 10x what a jackery does, weighs 2x, holds less energy, but is waterproof.

Very interesting, it looks like the wall plug part (in your other pictures) is a fluorescent ballast, but you’ve replaced the bulb itself with an LED that has a built in driver. So I think (I’m not an electrician don’t sue me etc etc) the wall part from the old system is not needed by the new bulbs at all. I think any AC wire from the wall socket straight to that led bulb should just work. You’ve got a built in driver since the bulb says 220-240 input, and the old transformer does something special (ballasting) for fluorescent tubes that LEDs don’t need.

From the pictures that Google returns when I search for ‘lival pl011’ those look pretty retro. Are you sure they aren’t fluorescent tubes? I think you need to post pictures of the lamp, the bulb/tube and the transformer/driver/brick (both pre and post opening) before anyone will be able to safely help you. With LED you need to know the current and the voltage to buy a replacement brick, and with fluorescent it’s equally complex. Can you link where you purchased them if you bought them new?

I’m not sure it makes much sense to have written this article. Who is it trying to convince? Not me, not you, only the developers of a free program. What’s the point of posting this publicly. It feels like someone is trying to convince someone else to do a massive amount of extra work, for free, for them cause they want it different. The thing works, and it works great, but it isn’t built quite the way the author woulda done it.

You —(data)—> discord —(data)—> persona ----(your data) ----> openai and groq and anthropic and everyone else.

Hope that helps. If you want the other side of it about how you get money from selling your data to openai it looks like this: you don’t.

You ----(no money)---- discord ----(money)—> persona <----(money) ---- openai, anthropic, etc.

Aaaaand it’s down. Guess someone at Microsoft is monitoring hackernews

Ahhh, so “Honor killings” are now acceptable in the US.

I just keep a shortcut to the NOAA 2day hourly forecast for my location on the home screen. If I need to see the radar it’s a few clicks away.

But I’ve got an air quality and temperature sensor on my back porch, and am working on a rain detector as well, so the preference is towards local conditions

I don’t think people who read salon are at risk of not getting enough meat in their diet…

Seems like the only difference is motor/prop, so I think any of them would be fine. If the racing or champ are too sensitive from the higher kv motors, you can manually reduce the stick sensitivity, so I think there’s no real “wrong answer” other than 1 being 5 dollars more. My vote is for the freestyle because that’s the kind of flying I do, not trying to hit sharp turns, just having fun experiencing fpv flying first hand.

This game kinda just feels like an initial guess and then a binary search, like I’m not really doing anything with the actual color after the first guess, especially with the less significant digit
