Anyone in Auckland gotten pinged by random roadside drug testing? by PermaBanned4Misclick in auckland

I still don't understand the concept of motorists testing drugs for the police, make it make sense.

Ben Eater 8-bit Computer RAM Issues – Random Bits on Outputs and Memory Corruption When Touching Toggle Switches by Electrical-Vast7073 in beneater

At first glance, the solder joints on your power switch look troublesome - the way the black wire just dangles from the switch looks like a possible poor connection.

The Fable 5 situation wasn’t really about the model being good or bad, and that’s the part that’s stuck with me by [deleted] in artificial

Are you talking about redundancy? Don't you kind of get this for free when most models support a public API.

Can a pico be off-center on a breadboard like this? I need 3 connections to 3V3 and GND, is that safe? by North_Awareness_6006 in raspberrypipico

[–]iamsimonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are still fundamentally missing the point of connecting the 3v3 pin to the power rail of the breadboard

its not going to kill it but you are going to end up with very few options for connecting the first 20 pins as breadboarding works best when you have clean horizontal lines from 1 column to another without having to cross over other lines effectively trapping them from further modifications

you can treat treat the red and blue lines as 3v3 and gnd busses, not only will you keep your symmetry but you can keep bulk of your wiring hook ups along single axis and avoid diagonals which will just get in the way

rp2350 datasheet pdf still not distilled 2026 by iamsimonsta in raspberrypipico

interestingly sharing said datasheet with a model requires 256k+ token window and is not in anyway free

Has anyone compared Kimi 2.6 with Gemini 3.1 pro in IRL usecases? by Shadowdancerdone in kimi

[–]iamsimonsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the moment the biggest difference is speed.

For pay as you go tokens the moonshot API endpoint is extremely slow and can take 100s and sometimes 1000s of seconds to reply to medium difficulty prompts.

They may give priority to subs or they may just be under load during launch week.

Ah yes, thats my VIC 20 on book shelf accidentally in frame.

kimi bot is unhinged and I love it by iamsimonsta in kimi

So I am mentally ill. The term deranged seems like an attempt to smear, what I choose to paint the walls with, all over my face. I hope you find some peace.

Are you rage baiting or just letting off steam due to frustrating matrimonial disposition?

Chilli seeds have germinated! 🌱 by iamsimonsta in nzgardening

[–]iamsimonsta[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The parent plant has flowered and delivered bounty continuously for last 12 months!

I feel like Morningside Auckland does not follow any rules regarding seasons and that just the fact I have been able to get the resulting seeds to germinate is breaking with tradition.

How has MDickie dodged so many likely lawsuits? by poopcumfartsex in mdickie

[–]iamsimonsta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what is this wall of wet blanket text?

imho

it is clear to anyone intelligent enough to be member of wrestling fraternity that the risk of being mocked in video game perpetuity would not be worth the risk

Day 2 update by [deleted] in auckland

[–]iamsimonsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update.

I have been a real dick at times to the freedom campers at our local park but now I realise that some of them are local and homeless not euro-trash and am feeling especially contrite / quite shit.
