coopsmoss | 2 years ago | on: Ash HN: How can I make my idle CPU time useful to others?
Business idea free for the taking:
Build home or industrial heating furnaces out of slightly out of date computer hardware. Give them away for next to nothing and make the money back by renting the cpu time out.
Electrical home heating is such a waste of energy when you think about it.

At least out of the box, I'm pretty sure FAISS
doesn't support sparse matrices.

I agree, I think this is very unpythonic behavior

Tough because of the subject matter or the writing? Would you recommend it?

$3.4B according to the article
coopsmoss | 3 years ago | on: Xonsh: I don't remember how to write a for loop in Bash [video]
I really want to use xonsh as my daily but everytime I try to do a git rebase it doesn't handle the inputs properly for my editor.

I agree, VimCal has the same business model as Superhuman but doesn't require an onboarding call. So I'm only using Vimcal

Probably excluded because they're deemed unintentional. Of course the mosquitoes don't kill us intentionally either.
coopsmoss | 4 years ago | on: The Sunk Cost “Fallacy” Is Not a Fallacy
I've been calling this "The Sunk Cost Fallacy Fallacy", people don't understand it but still quote it liberally.

My favourite thing about the pixel 5 is the camera. I understand that they do a fair amount of software processing to make it so good. And most other apps don't let me use the wide lens. Is the experience as good on Graphene?

Attainable goals are more motivating and meaningful than unattainable ones. It's in many ways a different event because the equipment is different, so why should a record for a different event stand.

It used to be the norm. Why did the "milk man industry" go under? Could it not compete with bulk buying milk once refrigeration became the norm?
coopsmoss | 4 years ago | on: Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?
I don't know if it's available outside the country. But the CBC is streaming everything online, no login required.
They have streams with commentary for the major events that they are televising but you can also watch the raw international streams with no commentary for everything else.
The streams are recorded and available at any time too.
If it's available in the US, or you have a VPN, I'd look into that.
coopsmoss | 4 years ago | on: Japan pitches 'Society 5.0' to keep its edge in tech and science
I'm pretty sure Ryobi just licenses their name, and the tools are designed/made by Hong Kong's Techtronics. I don't think you can even buy Ryobi tools in Japan.
coopsmoss | 4 years ago | on: Japan pitches 'Society 5.0' to keep its edge in tech and science
I've noticed this kind of thing happens a lot, especially with banks. The institution or counties that "went digital" earliest are now hampered by the tech debt and infrastructure from the early days. And slower institutions/counties can leap frog them.

Impossible! That would be a wink.
coopsmoss | 4 years ago | on: Every Super Nintendo Port on the Game Boy Advance Compared (2020)
The GBA (before the SP version) didn't have a backlight and so compared to the CTRs you played SNES games on were quite a bit darker. That's why most of these games got a brightness bump for the GBA.

That is awesome. So obvious when you think about it, I wonder what practical applications it has. Do photographers know about this?

How do you disable it on a per program basis?

How do you orchestrate the spinning up and down? Just a script to start service B, wait until service B is healthy, wait 10 seconds, stop service A, and caddy just smooths out the deployment?
