NEC is great but their affordable panels are largely only seen on facebook marketplace. Great construction, panel quality and I/O, just a little bit heavy

if only other OSes had the same CUDA support as Ubuntu. Now I know how solidworks users feel..
the bitter lesson can't hurt me here! /s
Surely this would happen but it'll be k-shaped as all things are now. Areas that are in insurance deserts due to (worsening) natural disasters will probably be the hardest hit, those and the slots in unmaintained x-plexes owned by those with bad credit ratings.

I wish there was a way I could get educational-only youtube as an adult. It would really help to remove the irrelevant suggestions and keep me from listening to so much music

g-code brings back a nostalgic pang, that was what we used before STL was common in 3d-printing. It's kind of amazing to read in this story just how tightly knit a community like this can be despite its industrial nature, what are the worthy touring spots that GM security wouldn't take issue with?
Re:B5-BJ2 – Ice Cream Barges – Concrete Ship Constructors on Thursday September 24, 2026 @01:35PM (#49834097)
this website is a marvel, the fact that there are over 100 year old concrete ships still floating makes me wonder if there are concrete or nonmetallic ships still being constructed today for secondary purposes like carrying garbage or as bridges

I did this a while back with my Eaton UPS and Opus 4.8, glad I didn't need to install windows 11 just to push a blob. The day when a LLM os can make unique drivers will be one I wait for

kimi k3 is wonderful, I suggest you give it or GLM a try when you get the chance, I just use openrouter or cursor

The number of people blasting video on a regional flight with no internet really made me reconsider just how necessary airplane mode is. Probably an applicable case study for many other societal boundary-breaches silently spreading.

> Omni Trio being played regularly

that seals it.. my nostalgia for this time (from many an adult's tale in my young life) was not misplaced.

If only it still felt like this, you can see it sometimes, if only a little. And maybe we'll feel the same way looking back to now from what will be.

perhaps this will help them lessen dependence on energy from Western Sahara https://wsrw.org/en/news/renewable-energy
I think they would prefer the company that runs their messaging system lack the capacity to mess up and leak internal communications.

the mass-market-ification of: clothing(world clothelessness used to be a severe problem, paper clothes existed for a reason), AC, light vehicles, solar: all things after the 20th (and even 21st century) that are worth saving. Even with the seeming doom, things do get better.
I think a happy medium like signal would be much better, slack is an immovable part of much of the (white-collar) business relationship world now but it'd be nice if there were assurances of secrecy and security in communication as 24/7 cyberattacks rather than a company whose security is based solely on promises rather than zero-knowledge systems. Signal has had far and away the best cross-platform messaging experience of any client I've used in friend groups but moving to a slack-like system alongside what exists now would be much appreciated to the noisy channel approach.

not to mention thermal sinking, this is a very overlooked part of self-hosting at scale people overlook

openrouter's a good option, though it has a price markup

Re:Software Has Changed on Monday July 13, 2026 @06:10PM (#48899586)
I guess the real question now will be: as your experience stepping inside the machine wanes, will you trust yourself or the cargo cult of procedure you hope will ward off error
imagine growing tools out of this stuff instead of forging or casting, that'd be neat.
more importantly: how many kilos of feathers versus how many kilos of steel can it hold?

Re:Claude Sonnet 5 on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @06:49PM (#48740260)
the (imperfect) comparison having used both for planning and execution is that GLM5.2 is too jumpy and eager to do things, often to a fault (e.g. deploying/using git when it shouldn't) while sonnet 5 was much lazier than any Claude model I have used has been, not adding an addendum to a plan that I asked for, then lying that it did when asked. Looking at the analysis[0] I don't think it's worth it for me. Maybe for others. Fable was certainly much better.
