I got it to work on Intel 270 but that has HT and 1.6GHz still slow (hours to build wheels) specifically temporalio and cryptography.

Yeah node is usually my go to love JS

Funny I'm working with intel 686 right now brutal to get stuff to build eg. rust/cargo related (missing deps but mostly the hardware, slow). Recently trying to fix this maturin problem I ran into. But it is cool the backwards compatibility of python 3.11 to 32bit with debian 12

The CPU I'm working with is Celeron M 900MHz single core no HT struggling to build wheels for python (several hours)

I remember something like this was huge for rc planes 10-20 years ago as you could then make a plane out of thin bendable foam

You'd make a 3D model from 3-views then use something like this to unfold it

I see some cars disappearing

edit: actually if it hits an end of a road, it spawns to a lane next to it either goes opposite direction or turns (referencing first gif)

Wonder if they could have considered ensuring no cars stack on top of each other

Friend of mine told me they bought some music-related item and they got several emails but also an AI generated video of the CEO or something like that personally thanking them for their purchase. Super weird.

The video said something along the lines of "Hey {name} I am the CEO... I want to personally thank you for your purchase".

I can't remember if they bought whatever it is from Instagram through an ad on there so a super social/ad heavy space anyway.

I would be curious too how they spotted it in the first place to film it regarding stealth/altitude, I saw some infographic one time showing the radar cross section size in like cubic meters and the B2 is smaller than a bird or something crazy like that

oh no that's not true the F117 and F35 is though

Would the F22 or YF-23 have faired better with their special exhaust design or still same problem? I always thought the F-35 wasn't that stealth because of its exhaust design like the Russian Pakfa exhaust

It is interesting the consumer high you get from buying things. I remember being in a microsoft store like 12 years ago and wanting this Surface laptop. Holding it in my hands but I couldn't afford it. Now I have a Surface Book 3 and it's still cool but not the same experience as it being a flagship/new at the time.

Still there are a lot of laptops I'd like to try when they get cheaper. As far as GPUs I like the Nvidia founder designs, it was a while before I got a 3080 Ti Fe that I ended up having to sell at a loss when I didn't have a job that was sad. I have a 4070 founders now which does struggle on certain games at 1440p but I'm going to use it to run local LLMs.

Funny I kept getting this "you are using 98% of your storage space" message with my 15GB so I'd be finding/deleting old attachments then eventually I was like fine I'll pay, it's like 48 cents a month or something

I was talking to managers and they were talking about how they'd use AI to write reviews about their employees to which I said I would not like a non-genuine review/not personal.

Their rational is coming off more professional

Man that's so annoying I have a similar problem our devops person I ask question to literally gives me AI responses

Also annoying to me working with a "partner" non-technical they just send me an LLM dump of how to do something

I was trying to explain it to them in an analogy like showing up to a mechanic and telling them what to do based on what ChatGPT said
