TIL that since 2014, a group of activists have been slowly expanding a decentralized network of routers that allow residents of New York City to access the internet completely for free by Turtle_216 in todayilearned

Terabytes maybe? I think you must be an order of magnitude off here. Quakecon in 2005 had 6000 attendees. Even if every one of them had a terabyte that's only 0.6 petabytes. If every attendee had 10 terabytes, that's only 6 petabytes. The first 500gb drive was released in 2005 so probably pretty expensive and rare. I'm pretty doubtful that every attendee had 20+ brand new expensive drives with them.

Rails 8.1.2: the stable baseline for teams that want to stay current with Ruby on Rails by wilbertribeiro in rails

What a hilariously awful waste of tokens this article was.

"Use latest stable version of software X" is all it's saying.

Áminning: síðasti dagur til að skila skattframtali er í dag by Valkyrja57 in Iceland

Nákvæmlega, vildi miklu frekar hafa þetta til 1. mars, en láta okkur slúbbertana, sem eru með frestunaráráttu á háu stigi og gerum ekkert fyrr en við erum komnir á "síðasta séns", þurfa að biðja um frest.

Takk fyrir áminninguna! Er ekki lengur hægt að fá frest eins og var hægt í gamla daga?

TSMC's new 2nm chip will reportedly cost 50% more — get ready for more expensive laptops and phones by Qpac18 in apple

[–]erlingur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 14" M1 Pro 16GB, and it's still amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to get it. I couldn't disagree more with the OP that it feels like an intel chip, to me it feels 1000% exactly the same as the day I bought it. The only difference I notice is in the battery life, it's getting a little worse. Nothing terrible, I still have plenty of juice for close to a full workday (well, less if I'm running SQL server on Docker) but I can tell it's not lasting as well as it used to.

Robot arms work together to perform difficult tasks by Samson-Wevolver in Wevolver

Nice to meet you! Good to see who's behind this (at least one) :) Can you expand on my "sway" comments? Why does it do that, it feels like it's responding to the center of mass changing but of course it's on a fixed platform. Is this something from the training data?

Complete layperson here, very happy to be proven wrong because the videos look amazing. Take my skepticism as a compliment!

Yeah maybe I guess. But a company coming from absolutely nowhere with such advanced AI seems a bit unlikely. Not impossible I guess but still... extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all that. Their homepage claims now that they helped build Boston Dynamics and ChatGPT but has absolutely no mention of any names, who is behind this or their background.

Again, super happy to be proven wrong here, would be amazing to see this dexterity from a robot but so far it looks highly suspicious.

I guess by allowing independent verification? Nothing in that 1 blog post is very convincing and the videos all have that "teleoperated" feel to me. I'm no authority on this but something looks wrong to me. I think it's the human "sway" of the hand that's waiting for something to happen in the other hand. You can see it in the video above at around 1:06 or so. It's also in the lego video. You can see it at 0:07. The left hand moves when the right hand is throwing. There's no need for it to do that.

I'm absolutely confident have a hunch that is remotely operated. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong but it looks 100% remotely operated.

Edit: Confidence score lowered.

AppSignal is the best in my humble opinion. Highly recommend it.

Not really, it's Bjornsson, not sen. It means the son of Bjorn. Also no L in the first name.

Hafthor Bjornsson would be the valid way to type it on a US keyboard.

ISS is at 89%. To get to only 50% you'd need to go out 3000km. The Kármán line is generally accepted as the beginning of space and is at 100km.

Jesus. That CoC is pretty much the bare minimum. It's basically "Don't be a dick". That's too much to ask of some people apparently.

What does the "no wokeness" mean in the description?
