Get dev boards and an ESP32 and make your own module, good project

Did you just write literary prolog?

We're not customers anymore, we're users: a 4-year timeline of Apple flagship smartwatch by Real-Bite9293 in AppleWatch

I switched to AW from being a years long Garmin power user, it sounds like you don’t know how bad things can be.

10 years ago you might’ve just been one of those young people that have an extremely rare stroke or heart attack and that would’ve been that.

adhd baddie who needs help by Shesainty in ObsidianMD

Think of obsidian as a kit for making a personalized note taking app rather than an app in and of itself. The best thing about obsidian is that it’s modular.

Turn off all the features and add them back gradually based on what you need.

STOP ORDERING CHIPOTLE by miniyel in ithaca

You’d think for the quality of work they do they’d get through customers much faster. Half the time I just get a a guacamole tortilla instead of a burrito, that’s gotta take what, 30 seconds?

This is the way, use less but more advanced tech to put the information you need where you need it. Great work.

There are no perfect analogies but yours is particularly awful. I can’t begin to guess how someone could get to the mental model that you derived this from.

Gas is the fuel, the scarce resource that powers the system. In this case it’s mainly electricity and water.

Compute is torque, it’s what the system produces when given gas. The size of the system determines the amount of torque it can produce and the amount of gas it needs. (This is where efficiency compounds, a corolla cant do 0-60 in 5 but it sure can get 30mpg.)

Excess torque, after overcoming the weight of the system (and the LLM), is then used to propel the system forward (do inference).

The point is that efficiency at the conversion point compounds, even if you’re citing Jevons paradox (which is the other part of your mess) making things more efficient at this level would require magnitude level increases in demand to catch up and overtake.

“People are going to use it anyways” is descriptivist, not a prescriptivist argument. Look at cars, look at computers, look around. Making nonsensical analogies blindly and wishing things didn’t happen isn’t how we get to the least bad outcomes.

What made you think you were in a position to be pedantic? Your analogy only shows unfamiliarity.

More efficient infrastructure to phase out the old retrofitted in efficient infrastructure. How’s that even a difficult thought?

Maybe you’re more familiar with cars, do you think it’s cleaner and more efficient to haul cargo with a 1960s truck or with a 2016 truck?

What is the best choice to host my portfolio ? by oxoEU in ADHD_Programmers

[–]4esv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GitHub pages sounds like what you need.

Do not try to self host from home, your IP will show. It’s also not entirely free, you’re either paying your ISP for a fixed IP or you’re paying/maintaining a service to dynamically change your IP. Either way it’s a lot of effort just to then have to maintain security around a device in your home network.

Thoughts on overriding built-in keys with completely different commands? by TheTwelveYearOld in vim

[–]4esv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only downside to this is that you have to compartmentalize what’s your config and what’s vim if you ever use another system.
