I've been running into the same thing, and adding separate OpenAI seats for employees rather than paying obscene overages to Anthropic. Thankfully Opus has decreased usage quite a bit, and made this less of an issue as well.

I'm not sure it is. I've considered getting home batteries for power outages (due to fires), and frankly given the install cost, using a car is compelling. Not only do they have enormous batteries (a model 3 has a 57.5 kwh battery and can be acquired for 20k), but they can be driven to recharge every few days if need be.

Where I'm located, in most cases when there is an outage, neighboring areas do have power.

Specifically for my model 3, I've been considering tapping into the HV system manually to keep my Ecoflow battery topped up, but I wish there was a way to directly connect it.

They've stopped swinging at the consumer market. I'd argue that they are swinging at other markets though (Cybercab and Optimus).

I've normally replied with "I'm looking for X - Y range", and if they push for my previous salary, I say "I make X all in", and include equity, benefits, etc in my number.

Agreed on all points, and I'd like to point out that most GE appliances aren't actually made by GE. They're essentially selling their name to a manufacturer. Wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is the same.

Frankly a dumb move since it tarnishes their brands, but.. profits?

If you're a fully remote company with no offices, where would you stash your purchased mac server? This alone makes renting worth it.

Can you elaborate? I am struggling to understand what you are talking about.

You can do exactly that on Polymarket and make good money if you are right.

People with prescriptions can just get versions with prescriptions in them (this is a thing for "smart" glasses already).

What was the end result of this?

These are pretty old. I'd be curious how performance compares with the latest frontier models.

Yeah, I suppose another way to look at it is that ALL satellites have to radiate the energy they get from the sun (since 99+% of electricity used by electronics gets radiated off as heat). A datacenter is no different. All that is different is that quantity of energy both in and out, the ratios are identical.

> Now, input power. Sunlight in orbit ~1,360 W/m², assume ~22% cell efficiency, we got 300 W/m². So each 1 MW compute, 3,300 m² of solar panel and minimum 1,200–1,500 m² of radiator.

We need > 2x more solar panels than we need radiators. Doesn't this imply radiation isn't really the limiting factor here?

Depending on how much you drive per week, a 120V charger might be viable. My new house has the same problem (I'd have to upgrade the electric panel for my car due to its age), but I've been using the normal 120V charger to charge it, and haven't yet run into a case where I couldn't charge it enough.

Except their validation doesn't seem to work. I've gone through both (both personally and for my company), and.. no response for weeks.

> And a high visa fee ultimately hurts more than it helps because it drives away both groups

Does it though? It seems like it would drive away the $60k worker, and the companies hiring the million dollar worker would pay it without second thought.

I think it's 2 different end-consumers. Apple targets "watch on my arm", garmin targets fitness tracker that happens to do a few watch things (notifications, payments, some limited messaging).

Idk, if you check the profiles of the people posting, these would be pretty expensive shills. I genuinely think it's just happy customers.

And to pile on, I switched to Garmin a few years ago after a pixel watch and a galaxy watch, and it's night and day. Battery life, and it's built to actually work offline well (global maps, and all of the tracking).

Does alice "own" alice.dntls after she registers it? If so, how do you prevent name squating?

Do you have a brief explanation of what DNTLS is that you could post here?

Does KDE connect work with other, non KDE window managers?

For more complicated products, the fear is that this subsidy destroys all competition, and then you're dependent upon that country / company.

> you are off by an order of magnitude

On which figure?

Stablecoins are a pretty clean solution to this. Negligible fee, sub-cent transactions supported, no need for kyc when paying. Fill up your browser periodically, and pay from an embedded wallet.

I used this [0], but it looks like it's sold out. Guessing there might be similar options available elsewhere.

Yup. We were able to find it both times. First time it "floated" and traveled further than we expected (at one point habhub predicted it to land in Africa). This is the one we called a gas station about, and we did end up getting it back. Second time was cleaner, and we drove up someone's driveway, and asked if we could retrieve it.

We did it in the US, and filed a NOTAM with the FAA. The hardest part was figuring out how to convert what I had (we are launching a weather balloon from X, Y coords at Z time) to what they wanted (distance, direction, etc from nearest air tower). It's just a phone number you call, and they were pretty friendly (helping convert my lat / lng to what they needed).

It's fun to see habhub in an article. ~10 years ago a group of friends and I launched 2 weather balloons for fun with a GPS logger, APRS transmitter, and a few sensors, and then retrieved it afterwards.

I have a bunch of memorable experiences from it, including:

1. Under inflating the first balloon because our helium provider was closed, and instead buying lower pressure "party" balloon containers (and not realizing until too late that lower pressure meant more helium left in the containers)

2. Chasing down the balloon at night and trying to explain why you wanted to walk onto some guys field to check for a weather balloon

3. Later calling a gas station to ask if "some guy just arrived with a weather balloon in their truck" when trying to track down the balloon

If anyone has kids and wants a fun project, I highly recommend it. There are a few companies online that sell kits, and it's neat to watch the different layers of the atmosphere (temperature and wind), and try to "chase" after the balloon and find it afterwards.

100% this. I would assume if any government purchased an ai company and wasn't completely hands off (which from the sound of this post, it wouldn't be), I would assume that company would fail.

Do any US states allow plug in batteries like this (I know some allow plug in solar)? The installation cost of a whole home battery is what has kept me away so far.
