Proof of Corn 6 months ago

I reckon producing corn in the Midwest would be the most researched and documented crop and location ever in history. So baked into an LLM should be some very good knowledge and assumptions. Growing a different crop elsewhere may be more challenging.

I am giving my MacBook Air M2 15” to my wife and bought a Lenovo E16 with 120hz screen to run Kubuntu last night. She needed a new laptop and I am had enough of macOS and just need some stuff to work that will be easier on an intel and Linux. Also I do bookwork online so bigger screen and dedicated numpad will be nice. It reviews well and seems like good value for money with current holiday sales but I don’t expect the same hardware quality or portability just a little more freedom. I hope I’m not too disappointed. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E16-G3-Review-...

Can someone tell me if hibernate works on the kubuntu Focus IR14. I love kubuntu but as I’ve mentioned elsewhere really don’t like inability for my thinkpad to hibernate without losing charge. I’d buy a Linux first machine if I knew it would just work.

Yes I moved away from Windows to MacOS but couldnt get used to the UI and they have now sprinkled bad AI tools throughout. I use KUbuntu now which feels a bit like Windows 10 and really is all I need. But what I really want on my Thinkpad with KUbuntu is the perfect open/close screen management like the Macbook has and changing from second monitor to no second monitor often causes issues and doesnt just work argh.. Maybe one of these linux first laptops will fill the void.

Thanks for sharing. I watched some of canbus video and came back to say it looks really interesting. I am building a prototype diesel electric autonomous vehicle for farm applications at the moment so the videos are somewhat relevant to me.

This strategy makes sense for a large TAM. But if you are attacking quite a small niche. You don’t want half your market on some grandfathered deal that doesn’t make any money. Maybe the niches I think about are too small.

What

-- ok I watched the start of the video. He says the claim is ridiculous which makes sense.

I used Windows server 2022 for first time today on a vps. It's what I imagine we all want windows to be. Just simple Windows 10ish ui without all the fluff. I imagine its very stable too given its for servers. Reminds me of Windows 2000 I ran on my Pentium 2. Does anyone just use Windows sever 2022 on their desktop? Why not?

I reckon there is space for a drop in replacement ui for Angular and Ionic that respects screen real estate and users ability to interep a more dense set of information. Less padding etc. I'd pay for it. Or there could just be a few small modifications to make what is there more workable.
