“Arbeit macht frei”. Generations of wage slaves might argue it always was, and america dragged down the rest of the world to it’s level, or maybe that’s just neoliberals…nah, the historic path goes further. Upvoted.

Eh, fuel can be synthesized, likely better than kero for this use case, and will eventually become cheaper as renewables gain dominance. Progressing civilian aviation is a value that endures (although I would argue for it’s reduction during the climate crisis).

I’d go with second law of thermodynamics, but whatever.

Could be done, perhaps, with significant added complexity (and hence maintenance). In practice it is not, to my knowledge there are no mid-mount regenerative system on the market. It is worth noting that mid-mounts are significantly more efficient than hub mount, enough so that even compared to hub mounts with regeneration, mid-mounts have more range for a given battery / wattage. The vast majority of hub mounts also do not implement regeneration.

If they go faster than the e-bike limit (which may be low, but that’s the current law) they are defacto unregistered, probably unlicensed motorbikes on cycle paths, often driven recklessly, no need for new laws, just enforce the current ones. This will increase adoption of e-bikes and acoustic bikes as people will be safe using the infrastructure.

Yeah, you’ll have fun with W13. Definitely a found family vibe, with good characters and chemistry. I’ve found a lot of rewatch value, a comfort show, in a similar vein to Eureka.

I’ve heard it as (and occasionally use myself),

Insanity is a sane response to an insane world.

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” (a.k.a., the Sagan standard)

Love my Garmin, and after 6 years I only get 7-10 days on a charge unless I go heavy on GPS and music (I’ll get around to changing the battery, promise, basically does everything I want from a smartwatch anyway, I’m unlikely to upgrade until continuous blood pressure is actually a thing), however the battery is glued and the Pixel’s is not, so, kudos where due (still wouldn’t touch it with a pike pole, specially compared to a Garmin).

Lays off 1000s, brings back scores (multiples of 20), still sounds like a massacre to me…

“Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc” , the Addams Family motto, “We Gladly Feast on Those Who Would Subdue Us.”. Not just pretty words…

Shit without a human in the loop needs a Geneva Convention clause yesterday, this will not end well.

ROCm works just fine on consumer cards for inferencing and is competetive or superior in $/Token/s and beats NVIDIA power consumption. ROCm 7.0 seems to be giving >2x uplift on consumer cards over 6.9, so that’s lovely. Haven’t tried 7 myself yet, waiting for the dust to settle, but I have no issues with image gen, text gen, image tagging, video scanning etc using containers and distroboxes on Bazzite with a 7800XT.

Bleeding edge and research tends to be CUDA, but mainstream use cases are getting ported reasonably quickly. TLDR unless you’re training or researching (unlikely on consumer cards) AMD is fine and performant, plus you get stable linux and great gaming.

Stick 'em in a distrobox, export as needed.

But there are some things you can just know for no good reason other than that you do, and then there are other things that no matter how badly you want to know them, you just can’t.

Huh, actually a rather good summary of Godel’s Theorom. Cool.

podlet does a pretty good job of spitting out quadlet .container files or entire pods from a dockerfile.

FWIW, I took the plunge with a iFixit kit to replace my Pixel7 spicy pillow battery. I’m reasonably handy but had never done a glued phone before. I sprung for a clampy, watched the video and it all went extremely smooth, ~ 1 hour.

Attaching files from Dolphin to mail just works as Drag and Drop (gives you the choice of inline or attachment for images, cool, did not know that). Not sure for firefox, would need a target, but there’s always right click, copy location, paste into any file chooser.

Two phones with free calls, a couple of TTS engines randomly pulling from reddit / the bible, a couple of those bobbing bird things, this thing prints money and poisons the well for a couple hours work.

As in between them ? Not something I do enough to care about, and I use Zen and Betterbird, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, but I just selected something from Zen and dropped it into a new message in Betterbird without issue…KDE FWIW. There are still some rough edges with flatpak and wayland, but they’re mostly smoothed now. It’s usually permissions (KeepassXC and firefox is a bitch for example, but doable).
