It's air to air, so it's for heating air only. I still use resistive heating for hot water.

I'm in the UK, and got an air-to-air heat pump (more commonly known as air conditioning). It made sense because of extremely high electricity prices, and I have an insulated house without gas, electric only. There's a lot of houses / flats similar to mine, that could switch from resistive to heat pump heating. Unfortunately, the government are focusing on very expensive retrofitting of air-to-water heat pumps in older uninsulated houses, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Yep, the youtube video at 21:25 contains a screenshot of UK electricity generation mix over a 4 week period in 2020, which was 0.3% coal.

I linked the image file url, but checking on my phone, it redirects to the bloated page instead of the image. Loaded just the image on my desktop though.

I was wondering why PinDuoDuo were hiring for "Android Reverse Engineer". Screenshot of translated job page: https://github.com/jonatron/randomstuff/blob/main/Screenshot...

I don't actually use Zen queries myself, but it does have a queries_disabled template tag, which would allow for more specific control.

See also django-zen-queries https://github.com/dabapps/django-zen-queries , which can make it impossible for changes to a template to trigger queries.

First result on aliexpress for "2tb nvme" is a FANXIANG with a Maxio controller and YMTC flash (by looking at a review picture, probably varies). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005061184382.html https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/A3676f5ce9ecf465095e5568b08c630ae...

Playing spot the difference on the sticker is fun.

I reported an issue with Citymapper not handling a loop bus route properly in 2018. Haven't used it since, they never fixed it.

If I search my emails: "EC2 has detected degradation of the underlying hardware hosting your Amazon EC2 instance"

It's just something you have to do yourself with Hetzner.

How many is a few?

If you've have 500 servers for a long time, and a new script discovers 5% have a failure and sends 25 emails at the same time, I can see why Hetzner might want a single email. Numbers made up, but you get the idea.

I heard the devops guys at a previous job wrote a script to detect CPU fan failures. Then got asked to stop sending so many emails about CPU fan failures. Was still worth it because it's cheap, but they're cheap because it's not new and reliable hardware.

I pasted the article into a Markov Chain:

exist generative text unfortunately with the current recognition of its creation which uses the chatgpt api which can confirm the media has weirdly hyped the upcoming surge of ai generated content its hard to keep things similar results without any chatgpt to do much better signalto-noise.

Is ChatGPT just an improved Markov Chain?

You can just about see one in an early episode of The Apprentice here: https://youtu.be/5xwW0TWO9nY?t=3345 . Anyone know when they ditched the emailer from The Apprentice?

On amazon you get company names and addresses like shenzhenshihenghongxingkejiyouxiangongsi at LONGHUAQUGUANLANJIEDAOGUANLANHUANGUANZHONGLU370HAO.

All the supermarkets near me don't have peppers. However all the small shops selling fruit and veg have plenty. I think it's partly due to the supermarkets demanding a specific size/shape/grade.

But you know what I like more than materialistic things? Knowledge. In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new bookshelves that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new books that I bought. It’s like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, “the more you learn, the more you earn.”

This isn't very interesting, so here's a spinning Tesco logo gif: https://i.imgur.com/XAAFdDa.gif

To be fair, you did say Britain, when I think you mean B Written.

Subtitles, LLM, DeepSpeech comparisons are good ideas, so say if you're going to do them. I'm not going to do much more.

Used a small python script to download the webm files from https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/events/

Used a small bash script to run `whisper $f --output_format json --language en | tee $f.txt` over every file.

Ran a small python script to make the HTML. All totally trivial, it just required some GPU-hours.

It looks pretty easy, but I'm not going to do it, if someone else wants to.

old.reddit feels fast, which is why I use the Old Reddit Redirect extension.

I scraped https://bot.incolumitas.com/ . Results do not look good, sorry!
