I am a licensed electrician, and I did a DIY car charger in my unfinished garage, and main the panel on the same wall. The parts were more than $200, and I did not need to patch up any drywall when I was done. Maybe 10 years ago, or if they recycled some /spare/ supplies from other jobs. Only took an hour to do, but price is unbelievable.

An LLM is: what if I gave my smartphone keyboard autocomplete unlimited resources and trained it on everything ever written by anyone? Just like, money is no issue, give it all the processing power and memory and data... what could it do?

Turns out, a lot. But, it is still fundamentally limited by the whole starting point of building the best auto-complete.

So similar that Microsoft didnâ(TM)t even bother updating either the version number major or minor revisions - only the build number.

Amaze still exists, but theyâ(TM)ve pivoted to doing the same style of recordings - but for music concerts. A bit more controlled setting, no âoeinteractiveâ narrative, and more replicating an idealized front row or on stage concert experience.

KVM with clustering, health checking, and automatic failover, no. Not today, not 10 years ago. Being able to have access to multiple, trained, and certified technicians and have all those respective vendors support the environment? Absolutely not! Getting there today with the likes of Proxmox. And yet but the newest e911 deployments from the likes of Kforce are all Docker, Kubernetes, and IP-based hardware.

VMware in the enterprise was not about just running VMs, but about having shared and distributed copies, snapshots, backups, hot standbys, ability to live migrate a VM to another host, clustered storage, etc. It allowed you to give all the modern niceties of systems management to apps that simply cant run in a modern tech stack. For example, about a decade ago I helped build out a 911 dispatch that was split between multiple sites across the county, but where each was a backup to one another. There was actual hardware necessary that be presented via PCIe and USB pass through into the VMs to let CAD, GIS, AVL, Phones, and Radios work. But, that design also sucks for reliability, as simply needing to reboot a system means coordinating with other dispatches about failing the whole call center. By abstracting that physical hardware through the hypervisor, you could swap over instantly between those VMs. If the respective vendors had a better tech stack, none of that would be necessary⦠and if we were to rebuild today, thereâ(TM)d be a proper server cluster to mange it. But⦠keeping these pre-existing systems operational is important as replacing all the things every few years in support of newer and better tech stacks has historically been more expensive than simply paying the licensing fees to Broadcom. Now? I would expect wed pull the trigger and do some upgrades because price is now roughly equal.

Broadcasting a single, simultaneous signal is way easier than giving everyone their own unique stream. Even if all of Hetflix, Hulu, Max, Disney, and the rest literally colocated data centers on Starlinks network, that is a massive amount of bandwidth to contend with, wirelessly on such limited frequency spectrum.

I personally was able to go from 3Mbps DSL to 5Gbps Fiber, thanks to the high cost fund and connecting rural areas. As has nearly everyone I know in town - except most only paying for the 300Mbps plan vs going nuts like I did.

He said 2027 for the NASA certification moon mission under SLS contract, which is after the Mars transfer window. So... he kinda did!

Do you genuinely think he is going to send FIVE rockets to Mars before he can send ONE rocket to the moon?

We agree the point, but the extent to which we agree is in dispute. And for that, hells heart I stab at thee!

It is also worth noting that Scholarships and Grants are often tied to a specific GPA. Failure to meet those standards means no more money, and therefore hurting the financial bottom line.

Without an active internet connection from an Apple device to relay said traffic, it hardly matters. An AirTag is just a BLE beacon, which relies on other devices own positioning info to relay: I am here.

We need to stop listening to a vocal minority of people who are bad faith arguing to defend their ability to feel superior about anything as the meta evolves to something they do not like.

And same Counterstrike players get upset at people using low profile keyboards because of said low activation point being the default. It is not fair if someone is not playing the game ergonomically correct, because that gives them an unfair advantage over those who care about their wrist health! And before that, there were people upset about High DPI mice before those became the norm at all levels of play. I am genuinely shocked that they dont scream about people having carpel tunnel surgery so they have an unfair advantage too.

Yeah, how dare there be a keyboard that works like a D-Pad.

Same speed runners were upset when people used a controller for left hand, and mouse for right hand and said that was cheating too - despite controllers being laughed at as being for low skill players. People gotta play the game the way I like to play the game, because anything else hurts my feel bads.
