It is harder to install fiber in densely populated areas than in some backcountry farm. Imagine tearing open a busy street in NYC for a few weeks to install fiber vs. digging a trench in the dirt next to the farm road. Which one do you think costs more? For which do you think you need to jump through 1001 bureaucratic hoops?

You seem to be mixing up e2e encryption with at-rest-encryption?

If you have a server in your homelab where you self-host I mich just encrypt the hard drive with LUKS.

We had fathers day on May 14th :)

Hyperscalers buy so many CPUs and so much RAM they can dictate prices (to a point) or at least make an agreement to buy at a much lower price but buy X amount for the next 5 years.

On mice.

It's ironic that the country that screams freedom loudest is actually not that free after all.

I believe this is what that teamlead in the article comments on as next steps?

Yes, although to be fair we have around 1.8kWp, plus roof installation material, plus shipping.

Hi, sorry I'm late to respond. The price was something like this: 150€ Hoymiles HMS-800W-2t 300€ 4 Trina Solar 445W Full Black panels 100€ Shelly Pro 3em (not necessary but I wanted to see how much we feed in) The rest was construction materials and small stuff. We have mounted it on our roof, 900W East, 900W West. One east and one west panel are wired in parallel and connected to one MPPT of the HMS-800W. We're producing around 1.3MWh per year.

I live in Germany, installed a micro solar system in September 2024. Since then, we've been producing 45% of our electricity consumption ourselves. This has saved us 550€, while the initial cost was around 800€. So this September, after 2 years, the system will have paid for itself.

Why would I ever want to book a course with someone who just realized weeks ago they don't know if the code does what they want if they don't look at it?

Natural Gas is such a weird PR term coined by fossil industry. I think the term "fossil gas" is much clearer.

What's wrong with the Thinkpad T series?

It's not real money.

Great, let's just require biometric identification before posting online, what could go wrong.

Does that mean that you also don't switch to newer Anthropic models? Because they would change similarly, wouldn't they?

You're right, I didn't pay attention there. Still seems that there a many solutions better suited than S3. Probably a classic case of "We need an MVP fast, let's optimize later".

Exactly, my first thought was "Why in earth would anyone think that S3 was the right service to store millions of tiny ephemeral files?" and now it seems they have invented their own in-memory store instead of just using something like Redis. I also wonder what happens if their DIY thingy crashes, are the videos lost? Why not send to Kinesis or SQS in the first place?

The propaganda machine is called X and he bought it to brainwash people, so don't feel to bad about it. Good that you realized!

To be honest I have never used Cursor nor do I know their pricing, but isn't revenue kind of a stupid metric if you're just a frontend for a paid API? Like wouldn't almost all of this revenue just go through them towards OpenAI or Anthropic?

The only thing missing is replacing the head of the federal reserve bank with a mindless puppet so they stop standing in the way of success (inflation).

I just get downgraded to 2.5 Flash after like three prompts and can't seem to find an option to switch back. So much for "60 requests per minute are free".

It is a fungus that is harmless for humans, so I assume not that much. Of course it is always dangerous to artificially mess with an ecosystem. It has backfired more often than it has worked as intended when humans did that.

That is not my experience with AliExpress. I usually just got my money back when I complained.

What's the use case for using Telegram over Whatsapp? At least the latter has proper end-to-end encryption of content?

So what you're saying is your company had a customer that breached contract and didn't pay. I wouldn't compare that to being fired?

Sry, what I meant to say was "No one spoke about the complete heating being broken. Heating is a basic requirement in a car imo. Remote-controllable, engine-off heating is not."

No one said anything about anything being broken, just about the ability to remotely heat up the car before starting to drive. Having a heating and having a remote controlled heating that works with the car switched off are two separate things.

I wonder if the OBD alternatives mentioned in the article actually work? I'd imagine that they wake up the entire CAN bus frequently, quickly draining the cars 12V battery?

Daring to call cookie banners a benefit.
