Privacy? Lots of companies do not allow using public chatbots for anything proprietary.

Or better run quantized 14B or even 32B models...

Would be an instant no-go for any organization or individual that values their IP. Open Source - maybe.

What helps me is:

1. Taking breaks more often. 2. Using bigger monitor with bigger fonts, so I could sit further away. 3. Using Apple Vision Pro as a monitor replacement as it gives you 4-5 feet focal distance.

The last one lets me work at my computer all day without getting double vision, but it's not very comfortable and you start to feel the weight after 2 hours or less. Plus the friction on putting it on, connecting, etc.

I work from home, so I like to move around the house during the day or even work outside, which is surprisingly great with AVP as there are no reflections on the screen. Also, my lounge chair is vastly more comfortable than my desk chair, and with AVP I can maintain a good posture while keeping my laptop on my lap.

It's a very good XR headset. My primary use is to use it as a portable display, so I'm not chained to my desk all day. Also great for travel. Great to watch movies too.

Since it runs most iPad apps, it can be used for some light productivity workflows even without a Mac. You can use Bluetooth keyboard if you need to type a lot, but the virtual keyboard is surprisingly decent for quick replies.

I have NReal/XReal Air, and I find them very uncomfortable. I wear glasses, so I have to use prescription inserts, so it adds to the weight. While they are not too heavy, they put too much weight on the bridge of my nose and tend to slide down over time. They are also very sensitive to placement, so if they slide down a little, you can't see the entire screen anymore. The FOV is pretty narrow.

Even without the inserts and with contacts it was only marginally usable - it has a very narrow sweet spot and requires precise positioning. Not a big issue when watching movies, but a huge one when mirroring the laptop screen...

I have an Xreal Air and don't find it comfortable at all unless I'm laying down. I have to use optical inserts, and it just keeps sliding down my nose all the time. Quest 3 is vastly more comfortable for me, especially with the Elite strap.

Quest Pro, on the other hand, wasn't as comfortable due to the pressure to the forehead...

I'll get my AVP later today, will compare then.

I remember I learned Turbo Vision and OOP in general by writing my own Turbo Vision equivalent for the graphics mode (vs. text-only). Good times!

The list is too long, really.

Programmers is not the only profession that has a high cost of context switching. Scientists, lawyers, engineers, writers - pretty much anyone doing intellectual work would understand.

If you already have people maintaining self-hosted or cloud environments, adding GitLab to the mix would not cost anything extra. We self-hosted GitLab instance for many years at my previous job and after plugging it into monitoring/backup systems it was extremely low maintenance. Even updates were painless.

Not only that, but Turbo Pascal was very efficient as a linker too, linking only library code that was actually used in the program, as opposed to Turbo C/C++ that would link the entire library. As a result, "Hello, World" was ~2KB for TP vs. ~15KB for TC. I may not remember the sizes correctly, but the difference was dramatic. Of course, for bigger programs the difference was a bit smaller. And it was fast!

I use MyScript Nebo on my iPad for note taking and it works great. The handwriting recognition is impressive!

It looks good on the wall, has a bright large display that lights up when you approach and intuitive enough for non-techies to operate. Also it can be installed without a common wire.

Tesla is a nice road trip car... until it isn't.

Supercharging times are OK, especially if you have kids. Sometimes it's not even enough for a proper potty+food break and you have to hurry back to the car to move it to a normal parking spot so you don't incur overtime fees.

However, I now avoid traveling in a Tesla during any major holidays. Yes, 2019 SLO fiasco was probably an exception, but I definitely didn't enjoy 3 hours in the line, waiting for the supercharger to become available... My family enjoyed it even less.

... and one of the biggest Lufthansa training facilities is in Arizona, where they train in 100LL burning Cirri (used to be Beech Bonanzas).

There is no cost of using an airport runway, at least in the US...

Most of the planes flying were made in 60's and 70's. Most of them can be bought below $100K. Most owners of 100LL burning planes are middle class. Wealthy people fly jets or at least turboprops and burn Jet-A.

That's interesting... When talking to their reps I mentioned Wasabi and asked if they have similar limitations and they said "no". I wonder if enterprise customers are treated differently?

Did you have a look at rstor.io? They have free egress and even lower storage costs and also don't seem to charge for IOPS. Not as high profile as Cloudflare though.

Have you tried MacPorts?

Looks like there a typo in the exploit() function?

They have this variable declaration in the beginning: static const short port_base = 0x434;

However they use "port" variable when making calls: __outbyte(port+3, 0);

You can't really compare Midwest and LA. Despite lack of good engine out options over the ground, LA Basin has several very busy airports, complex airspace and crazy traffic.

Even without visible wires I don't think many people would put security cameras in every room. This drone looks like a good solution to check on the house while you are away without compromising everyday privacy (you can always turn it off when not in use). Also good tool for those of us being paranoid if they turned off the stove/water/etc.

I think I still have one somewhere. I believe it was Cisco branded though.

They don't. Garmin's cloud services supply map/chart data updates and backend services for their mobile app (which is separate from installed avionics) to support flight planning functionality.

There are commercial OCR software packages that can do it. FineReader is one example (and it's been around for ages).

Even bigger problem with 2.4 GHz is that the frequency is oversaturated and most Zigbee channels at least partially overlap with WiFi channels. I had pretty bad interference in my home before I moved my Zigbee and 2.4G wifi channels as far apart as possible.
