I like the term "compute famine" - it appears that all AI infrastructure is maxed out globally.

8 GB is not enough...even the $699 model has only 8 GB.

I like this format and I also like irreverent humor like the BOFH chronicles... can I submit content for consideration in the next issue ?

Imagine if the walls were thin resonant panels and every time the Captain says "make it so" it will reverberate and sound like a commandment from God !

I love how they have documented the wall coverings from all the TNG episodes in minute detail.

They just pushed a new redesigned page for pull request diffs- must have bloated the DOM.

I know someone who didn't get the lottery for 3 consecutive years.

I agree - we need a large example not the toy examples of NeoPixels chained together. Also, in the Github module library, I found only ESP32-C3 modules but the hobbyists use ESP8266 and ESP32 and ESP12-E as well as STM dev modules...I suppose its one of those things where contributors will help populate the library but I don't see instructions on how to build all the artifacts I see in the library - there are atleast 12 artifacts for each module...

Tesla panels and total price after installation is too high to be competitive- only the Powerwall enthusiasts buy panels+powerwalls from tesla. Other panels are so cheap these days and EG4 makes excellent power storage options.

I liked the photo that one of the quoted seismologists, Zhigang Peng from Atlanta, supplied to the author of this article - which depicts the seismologist standing in front of a sign marking the San Andreas fault on a visit to California. Its just the kind of photo a visiting seismotourist would take !

I once waited 20 mins in the Walmart camping section for an associate to come and open the propane gas cylinders cabinet. I noticed other people in other aisles also waiting for locked up items.

I left and went to Target where I was able to grab all the camping supplies I wanted from the shelves and checkout. I avoid Walmart since that day, as almost everything is locked up.
