I agree with OP that the name, while maybe not deliberately, is really confusing in 2026. I thought that was a wind turbines or a solar panel technology, definitely not gas.

Wait, the Q4 quantization which is more than 20GB fits in your 16GB GPU ? I didn't know that was possible, I was always restricting myself to smaller model than the VRAM I had

If you're going to use a lib like pLimit to limit the concurrency of a map, just use pMap which accepts an argument to limit the concurrency and makes it more readable and straightforward

I have thrown people under the bus while under pressure from my manager to explain why reviewing a Pull Request takes me several hours or days while other members did it in a few minutes. It was the wrong thing to do but the pressure was unbearable.

Thanks for the article on energy storage with hydrogen to resolve peaks on the grid. Seems like a nice solution on paper, although ineficient according to this article citing someone from the MIT, round-trip efficiency of 18%-46%.

In that case what prevents us from building energy storage facilities that produce hydrogen at night and release the electricity back into the grid during the day? Wouldn't it be more efficient than transporting the hydrogen by truck and transporting the hydrogen battery on every train?

Same on MacOS and Firefox with a 4K screen ans same on Firefox and a Pixel 6, scrolling lags hard on the section with pictures. Making a bad first impression of this new OS.

What lense do you have to take your picture ? You might want to zoom a bit to make it look like you see it, at least a 100mm equivalent I would say.

Yeah, back in the day I would always be afraid to fry my device when plugging a 3rd party charger, because of the polarity or voltage. Now worst thing that can happen is... nothing. For me that's an improvement.

Inner city Paris is limited to 30km/h, I don't think going 25 km/h would be a problem.

Sure enough for the power consumption of the modems, but I don't think the 5G networks are solar powered in Australia. Using multiple networks at the same time will use more power than using only one.

Kayou — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 16:17:30 +0000

Yeah, and I think it really shows that WhatsApp, which wasn't developped by Facebook originally, doesn't benefits from the compression. The app seems very optimized originally, but maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, and don't forget to shutdown Discord too! They will never be able to use another tool to organize these raids, this is genius. (this is sarcasm, of course)

Why did you copy paste the first comment on the youtube page? Video is funny though, worth watching.

Are you sure it's not only a problem with Linux? No issue with my QC35 and macOS, Windows 10 and Android, always connects to my devices, albeit a little slow to connect sometimes.

But do you need sugar? Or you don't need either sugar nor carbs? It seems strange to me. EDIT: it seems that if you use only your fat, you'll end up producing too much Ketones which leads to Ketoacidosis. Doesn't sound good.

Where I live (european country) people used to throw away things in a big dump and then it would be burned or something, but now you have to separate things. I don't have any evidence of it though. Maybe they were recycling it themselves for all this time!

Then they should come with an explanation as to why I want to throw up and can't do anything when doing sport with no insulin to use my carbs.

You still need to have carbs in your diet, it wouldn't be healthy otherwise. Especially if you practice a sport.

I eat whatever I want (mostly pasta usually) and I need 20 units a day at most. (100 units/ml dosage).

What I meant was that back in the old days, people didn't bother as much to recycle things, so lead batteries ended up thrown away in the nature. Of course today we recycle a lot more, so it would be less of a problem.
