Is this why pip packages are called wheels…?

Everything about this comment brings me so much joy

I haven’t personally used a library in a very long time, but, having spent a sizeable portion of my youth reading, I have such fond memories of my mum taking me and my siblings to libraries when we were young and poor.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful things that exists in society. Free knowledge, available to anyone and everyone, with no expectations of payment. I read somewhere that if someone came up with the idea of a library in today’s world, it would never happen. The fact that libraries exist in the modern world in spite of the commercialisation of everything, restores some of my faith in humanity.

Seeing several of the most brain-dead people I knew in high school going into teaching really made me lose a little respect for teachers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some great teachers, but this really explains all the shitty ones.

My only concern is battery usage. Google has the advantage of OS integration, which skims location data for timeline history even when another app accesses location, which uses essentially no battery (since you would’ve been using location for that other app anyway).

But it’s awesome that a tool like this exists anyways, great work.

(in exchange for the ability to go outside)

Real

As an Australian, do I have anything I can do to help make sure that these regulations are implemented?

Looks cool, wishing them the best of luck. Would be awesome to have a properly functional open source CAD software to compete with the likes of Fusion.

Brand name for fexofenadine hayfever medication. If you don’t live in the US you probably know it under a different brand name.

What for?

I think this fairly often when I see some of the things that have been created for RPi hardware. Some things are cool, but most fall into the category of “it’s cool that this exists”, but doesn’t really have a purpose beyond that.

I’m not supporting higher education becoming reliant on for-profit companies like this, but AI tutors and the like, if properly implemented, would be kinda awesome. For example, it’s usually not feasible to have real life staff on hand to answer student questions at all hours of the day. Especially at the more early years of university, where content is simpler, AI is more than capable of meeting needs like this.

I don’t fully agree with most of the people on this thread. I also hate AI slop being forced into what feels like all aspects of our life right now, but LLMs do have some genuine uses.

Yes, but I was saying the Blackhat marketplaces wouldn’t really have much recourse if the person selling the exploit knew how to cover their tracks. i.e. they wouldn’t have anyone to sue or go after.

I always wonder what’s stopping security researchers from selling these exploits to Blackhat marketplaces, getting the money, waiting a bit, then telling the original company, so they end up patching it.

Probably break some contractual agreements, but if you’re doing this as a career surely you’d know how to hide your identity properly.

This method uses magnetic resonant coupling (vs inductive which is how wireless charging works on your phone). The difference is the transmitter and receiver are both tuned LC circuits that operate at their resonant frequency, which is why this works over the impressive range shown in the video. It would have efficiencies around 80% mark based on what I could find. But yeah for RFI, this would definitely be worse than something like normal Qi charging, which operates in the 100s of KHz, while this operates in the MHz. But I think the manufacturers page says this is FCC certified? So might be not too bad.

Yet another person commenting without having watched the video.

Wireless peripherals and any wireless data transfer protocols are completely irrelevant to the content of this video, which is centred around wireless power transfer.

Also wireless peripherals are pretty great, not sure what you’re on about.

This game is primarily aimed at kids, so it probably wouldn’t be a great look to be have that word on a post by their official twitter account.

There’s no way that this is actually real right??

That sounds fun. If that was written well I’d probably read that.
