It's viola players that normally have to supplement their income driving a cab.
From what I've heard, viola players often die young, so they never have time to develop Alzheimer's. Their main cause of death seems to be violins.
Download a Meta AI on my PC so it can do what?
Scheduling and file management — apparently, kids these days need a heavy AI box for basic computing tasks we've been doing for over half a century. I keep seeing quite a lot of "AI solutions" to other basic automation tasks, probably because the typical Windows/Mac user has no idea how to automate things beyond interactive clicking.
It took me under 3 minutes to get my Canon 702 working perfectly on Arch, while the wife's MacBook took 10x more and was a pain in the ass.
This is particularly noteworthy given that CUPS was developed by Apple. But it's still not surprising how a big company can screw things up compared to "hobby" projects.
Printing is a good example how Linux works well with standards. Traditionally, if the printer understood Postscript, you wouldn't need much of a printer driver. Meanwhile, Windows users were instructed to download a very specific driver for that printer model, even if it would just pass PS through.
Their value has already peaked. Get out now while they still have some value.
Slashdot introduced me to bitcoin in 2010 and, as a result, I turned a few hundred dollars into a few hundred thousands.
Umm.. Unlikely. $100 worth of bitcoin in 2010 (0.39) would be worth over $15M today. It would have been over $30M last October. Your claim of "a few hundred" multiplies that by some unknown amount. If you actually had $90M in bitcoin last year you wouldn't be bragging about it here.
It looks like the GP did exactly as you suggested: he got out early while he was sure the coin still had some value. Maybe he needed the money for something at the time — something he values more than money. I personally sold a considerable amount of bitcoin in the mid 2010s to buy my own apartment. I know I could have made more money by holding it, but that would have meant renting someone else's apartment, which means higher running costs and less control over my life. So I remain quite happy with this decision, even if I'm not filthy rich.
In the US, you can get about 1kw/hr on a standard plug w/o burning the breaker too hard. I've had EVs since 2011 and they've all been about 3-4miles/kw.
In Europe, we use kW for power and kWh for energy, so we count things like km per kWh.
Seriously, though, it looks like your standard outlets are fused for 10 A current, which is what we use here too. But we use double the voltage, thus doubling the power to about 2.3 kW.
I'll be charitable, and assume you know the difference between a dark surface and a surface that happens to be in the dark.
I have a physics degree and I was aiming for a +1, Funny. I guess since we're joking about global warming, it counts as "dark" humour.
Machine learning/AI models to help with this are quite common in this field, and have been around for decades to help with spectral library lookups - long before the current LLM hype phase.
Yep, I once worked with NIR spectrometry in the paper industry around 2000. The company developed a kind of robot that measured various qualities of pulp and paper in realtime at paper mills. I was more on the hardware side, and I was kind of annoyed when they wanted to switch to spectroscopy for everything and ditch our nice old mechanical robots, parts of which I'd developed earlier. But at the same time I was excited about the ML and pattern recognition bits.
Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.
