Nothing to add, I was simply saying that it would be useful to have an FP8 toy website out there covering all of these formats.

"C++ Modules have been greatly improved."

It would be nice to know what these great improvements actually are.

elvircrn | 1 year ago | on: Lithium-sulfur battery retains 80% charge capacity after 25,000 cycles

---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[x] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

I just love how responsive the editor is.

The biggest downside is that now I dread switching to overleaf after typst!

elvircrn | 1 year ago | on: PeerTube mobile app: discover videos while caring for your attention

I have a chrome extension that I made for myself which removes recommended videos based on:

* channel/video title * duration * keywords * channel size/video views

Then, I have a video queue where I add videos that I find interesting.

Ever since I started using it, I started getting almost exclusively videos that I enjoy consuming, since YouTube seems to quickly adapt to my clicking patterns.

elvircrn | 1 year ago | on: The history of 'OK' (2023)

During my elementary school days, we were told by our English teacher that the origin was related to death toll reporting after a battle (presumably involving the Brits or Americans). Therefore, "0 K" would indicate that no soldiers were killed - an OK outcome. This went on to live in my head rent-free until today.
