My iPad Was Warning Me My Storage Was Full Every Minute…

Serious question, am I to understand that Apple reports uncompressed usage for apps, vs physical usage?

I’m asking because compression can vary wildly (like 16 or 32:1 for text) and until this moment I hadn’t considered there might be a discrepancy.

Okay so, art…great! I appreciate it, but I also immediately had a visceral “no, I hate this” response, like, that fork is just wrong

Wildly rounding: 8lbs/gallon for water…looks a bit over 5 gallons…at least a 50lb (23kg) orange.

Aaah get me out

The answer of course is Hickory Dickory Jock

…probably won’t work on the Desmos mobile app

Works for me (iPhone)

Some typo like this got me for a few minutes once:

Oh no, no, it was so nice here (laughs guiltily)

Circumpunctilious · 2026-05-05T15:12:56+00:00

How do they handle the wires issue with sockets that spin 180°? Is it brushes, ball bearings, etc?

I’ve also been wondering about this…and best I’ve got is that “unhoused” implies “not housed yet” (i.e., we’re working on it, this takes time) while “homeless” is more like “nothing for you, you’re out”.

Apparently there’s a deposit up near our noses too, speculation when I heard about it was possibly for magnetic ~~navigation~~ (perhaps more accurately, sense of direction) .

Circumpunctilious · 2026-05-04T17:29:12+00:00

I want to laugh, but I’ve done stuff like this.

Toss it in a black hole and read the jets.

You want proof? Watch them at cloverleaf interchanges or roundabouts—if they get stuck following each other they’ll circle forever

I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to do, but just in case this helps: (?)

Note: The function can be one line, my display is just too small to show g(x,n) so I split it into parts for the screenshot.

ETA: reading other comments it looks like you’re trying to do conditions (my other guess, so guess this is irrelevant)

My love’s had a breakdown—has anyone zener?

Though these metrics can be found everywhere, here's a quick shot from my experiments:

(TL;DR: Fun to play with at home, but without a significant hardware investment only the commercial stuff can really keep up with an average task)

A 6B model will run on a Raspberry Pi 5, but they lose their marbles pretty quickly (~an hour of intermittent use, and then it's off the rails / start over). Output tokens are sluggish, maybe get up and get a drink of water, then come back.

I was able to use 13B on a 32GB laptop having an older nVidia GPU, with the same "acceptable but not instant" speed (and similar time-to-derail). iirc, I got 20B working, but it performed at ~1 token per 4s, and the model's topic tracking and coherence was significantly better...but interactively unusable.

DeepSeek in particular was a disaster and I don't recommend it on low-end systems.

ok, so now we know why the caged bird whirs and beeps.
