You can run Deepseek 4 flash on a 128gb Mac, comfortably with lots of cache and context on a 256gb one.

These models are not 'barely capable', they're contemporary near frontier.

You're just spending money to have the computer value normal people will have a few years from now.

There's value in knowing what capabilities local models will have on regular hardware in the near future.

This lady needs some proper advice on this. She is only digging this hole deeper by feeding it attention.

Virtually all roofs in the Netherlands aren't concrete but wood frames with ceramic tiles. The PV is just attached to the wooden frame, not the shingles or tiles.

Shingles have a shelf life of ~25 years. Most people buy old homes. And the roof is somewhere in the middle of its life. Its usually better to replace the roof and add solar at the same time.

You can just take off the PV when replacing a roof, costs a few hundred if you don't want to do it yourself. Trivial compared to the cost of a new roof and probably less than the savings in the meantime they're on the old roof.

I am already subscribed to 2 papers in my own country at ~$50 total since one comes in print once a week.

Just a matter of priorities.

They are the only reliable way for me to read proper news in Economist / FT / WSJ / WashingtonPost etc...

Well except paying $300 a month I guess.

How is it enforced? IP or DNS?

The Steam Survey: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...

This includes SteamOS.

Linux sits at <3% users or so.

You can 'copy' it by registering a new one to the service.

Yes, it’s like a key. :)

Though realistically I use a passkey for services I care about and a password manager for the rest.

I just bought a passkey... It's a USB device, completely separate from any big conglomerates.

The Chinese were directed to it from their government.

We have no such government with a mandate to do that.

No they gradually turn on from 0% to 60% to simulate sunrise. Accompanied by the shutters slowly opening, if you want.

Then after 20 min an actual alarm goes off, just in case.

Most people think it's cool but use it once.

The regular-ceiling-lights-as-alarm service gets positive feedback. Weird how smarthome companies never market that, seems easy win.

My smarthome has regular switches and wifi.

There's no reason to not do both.

Also a quick NFC sticker in each room taking you to a small HTML site containing settings (temp, ventilation, lights, shutters, setting a alarm by the lights) has been golden.

No one wants to: download Shelly app + AC app + look for ventilation IR controller + figure out how casting works for the TV + figure out how to use the Shelly app to turn lights into an alarm. It's too much friction for little gain. But a quick tap? Great.

But tapping your phone on a NFC sticker bringing all those controls together per room in stead of per category (all lights in Shelly app. Person in room #1 has no interests in the lights in room #4 at the same time.).

IF you tap it while not on Wifi yet it just tells you to connect to Wifi. :-)

One "all house" sticker next to the front door allows any last person leaving or first person entering to put the entire house in active / idle mode.

Works wonders. And as soon as local AI is quick enough the stickers will be a microphone!

That's... why?

I can understand slow games like EuroTruck or Farming Sim. But what's the point of this?

Just release some imported European birds. What could go wrong?

I had previously used seaweedfs, which has more moving parts but seems more feature-rich. It was overkill for a homelab, so I went to garage.

Garage is very stable, but the metadata engine / file MUST live on NVMe. Otherwise it gets slow on small files. It also lacks features like per bucket retention settings and stuff. It really is "just" a S3 bucket.

>Europeans don't realise how close war is to their homes.

I would add 'Western-' to that. The Eastern Europeans are keenly aware, have been for years.

- Dutch person.

If this was a protest it would be clear who did it. The farmers' have no incentive to mess with infrastructure without being visible for their cause.

Isn't it still hundreds of kilometers from the mainland?

The straight of Gibraltar is 10km and barely any Europeans have anything more than superficial knowledge about North-African cultures.

Unironically, yes. Easy to connect an AI to any device that supports (adapted) USB input.

Don't even need the HDMI or video the AI will prefer serial console.

No.

You don't come back, you slide back to normal country status while 2 generations of people pretend you're still an empire until you really can't anymore.

Most European countries know this feeling. :)

>I don't think it would be anthropomorphizing or inaccurate to say that only the lawnmower in scenario B regarded what it's doing as stealing,

What are you talking about of course scenario A is theft. Full on theft?

The US President routinely announces policy decisions on social media…

You’d lose a lot of money always waiting for news through officials channels.

Who knows how slow Yemini military channels are.

You’d bet your life on it?

It's the biggest 'thing' in the industry.

Previously this site was swamped with Blockchain news...

I have the same issue, sometimes.

I initially thought it was a trick, that using Chinese chars is somehow more info dense and it saves tokens to 'think' in Chinese.

But later on it became more erratic. I still wonder if token reduction would work that way.

I agree but it's clear why you could argue it should be elect from a legal standpoint.
