Sometimes the parts are glued to the board at the factory and start vibrating later if the glue comes loose. Silicon carne is an ok fix in that situation, I think. I guess sometimes the parts themselves are faulty. This isn’t really my area.
An 8gb pi 4 is around $160 now, ouch.
At today’s prices? Buy a soldering iron and watch some youtubes about how to use it.
Added: sometimes you can put a blob of silicone sealant over the vibrating component, to dampen the vibration. Lots of consumer electronics already has that. If you watch any AvE youtubes, he likes to call the stuff “silicon carne”.
I never thought those leopards would eat MY face.
There’s a bunch of power conversion stuff on the rpi board, right? Look for little inductors or capacitors that could be vibrating.
LLM as a glorified search engine seems kind of ok. It’s the generative side that is awful. And the search engine aspect might do harm than good, since it’s also used for mass surveillance.
Machine translation is now working fairly well, maybe just in time. Within a decade or so, most technical and scientific publications will probably be in Chinese. So the translation tools will help us backwards English speakers read them.
I haven’t heard a proposal like that before, though of course it might exist and have legal analysis that I don’t know about. IANAL and don’t follow that stuff now. Any discussion of the consequences of a hypothetical amendment like that would of course be speculative. That is, there’s no way to know.
Is there any possibility besides Universal Basic Income to keep the system running and not collapsing?
Do you know the saying “Soylent Green is people”? Well, …
Do SSD also.
The hotel check-in system, called Tabiq, is maintained by the Japan-based tech startup Reqrea. According to its website, Tabiq is used in several hotels across Japan and relies on facial recognition and document scanning to check guests in.
They left an S3 bucket open.
Available for pre-order for $300 and up, the computer consists of a 100 x 86mm (3.9″ x 3.4″) board that comes with an aluminum enclosure and built-in fan. The board supports up to 32GB of onboard LPDDR5-6400 memory, and supports up to 256GB of UFS storage as well as an M.2 2280 slot that can be used for a PCIE 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD, among other things.
Meh. Wake me up when they can beat a Raspberry Pi of a similar price level. By the way the $300 version has 8GB of ram. The 32GB version is $575.
Why is the max battery size controlled by the chipset? Use whatever battery you want.
It says 1MB FRAM chips are around $25 each which is way lower than I expected. But 256 of them in a box seems pretty outlandish. FRAM is great for MCUs with a few kilobytes of it. It’s way better than flash, but still has write cycle limits unlike regular RAM.
I don’t see that as helping much, at least without creating a horrible police state. Imagine thousands or millions of James Bond villains or other mad scientists running around and finding ways to evade detection. Making the cops smarter only goes so far.
Probably not. In fact if you mean everyone gets smarter starting tomorrow but up til today we’re in the same crappy world as always, that’s probably a disaster. Yeah we have some sociopath criminals in high places, but lots more of them are in prison or doing really dumb things (there’s a tv show about them, “world’s dumbest criminals”). Now imagine they suddenly get a whole lot smarter. Everyone else also becoming smarter won’t help that much.
If you mean human evolution somehow went on a different path making all humans smarter all the way back to prehistoric times, then it’s harder to say, but it doesn’t sound so great either.
Emotional intelligence isn’t the answer either, for the same sorts of reasons. Maybe there’s a separate thing called “wisdom” but there will always be gaps.
You might like HPMOR, a Harry Potter fanfic novel that philosophizes a lot about these types of questions. It’s at hpmor.com. Warning, the main character is insufferable a lot of the time, especially near the beginning. So you might hate it, in which case feel free to quit after a few chapters.
For a more positive take, try the science novel “Protector” by Larry Niven.
Yeah I’ve been summoned a bunch of times (California). You get that at most 1x per year and usually you’re not needed (you’re excused over the phone, or you go to the courthouse and wait around most of the day before getting sent home). If you’re sent from the waiting room to an actual courtroom, you’re there with 50 or so other people who get called up and questioned (“voir dire”) one by one til they have selected 12 jurors and 4 alternates. Anyone left over is sent home. Once I made it all the way into the questioning phase but then got excused. I haven’t yet actually been on a jury. Anyway it’s time consuming but not that hard. There’s a small payment for those who need it. It’s nowhere near minimum wage.
How are they going to handle online purchase of phone plans (I’ve bought several that way)? Business VOIP? Robocalls routed through other countries? Answer: it’s not about robocalls.
Lemmy as far as I can tell is mostly dup posts and blind links, especially links to youtube. The absence of Spez is of course priceless, but otherwise Lemmy is duller than plenty of single-issue blogs or forums, or even the still-decaying corpse of Usenet. That article is about Mastodon, which has a different crowd than Lemmy does. I’m not big on the “follower” model though, so I’m not there very much.
Not the onion is thataway.
