e-max··on Mistral Code
What are the alternatives? Let's say you're something like Deutsche Bank and you need an AI solution for your dev team that is fully compliant with EU privacy laws.

The flashy PDF is here https://products.espressif.com/static/Espressif%20SoC%20Prod... a one-pager comparing all models.

Isn't it already available somehow? I didn't test it seriously, I just needed to quickly run Whisper but

e-max··on GNU Screen 5.0 Released
I also use backticks, and in 99.9% of cases it works like a charm. But then one day you paste a large file, and the gates of hell open. Tmux randomly opens windows, kills sessions, and launches nuclear missiles while processing all the backticks in the text.
e-max··on Claude 2.1
No, Claude really DO refuse to do most benign shit. For example - I am preparing for driving exams in German, a language I am not fluent in. So I asked Claude to help me with questions the examiner might ask on the exam (what should be tire pressure and so on). GPT-4 worked perfectly! Claude had an absolute meltdown because "I don't feel comfortable pretending to be a driving examiner because I am not really an examiner, I am Claude, created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless and HONEST". You are probably safe with code generation, but any step left or right and you get "I am Claude"

> due to it all being nuclear

Not sure where you got this - nuclear gives only about 20% of electricity in Russia. 60% of electricity is produced from natural gas, and the rest 20% is from hydro stations.

e-max··on The Apple M1, ARM/x86 Linux Virtualization, and Boinc (2021)
But the article is not saying the opposite. It praises a virtualization. About an emulation it says "while I’m not going to call it “fast,” it’s not utterly unusable either."
e-max··on Soviet Arcade Games from the 70s and 80s
You have a small mistake in your calculation. 0.15/64 = 0.002$ which equals 0.2 cents. But!

It's much worse, actually. Russia conducted redenomination in 1998 with a coefficient 1000. Which means that 1000 old rubles were replaced by 1 new ruble. So considering this it would be 0.0002 cents.
