Again, that's for a validator node. If you're running a mirror that's not taking part in making new blocks, you don't need the speed, just enough space. It may not be always synced to the latest block but it should work.

I believe there's other requirements for BSC validators too, like staking a bunch of BNB.
If you want to try new options I highly recommend:

* encore.dev

* koyeb.com

They are not as popular as other services but they provide a good service very cheap/free.

In practice, I find that it's really a non issue. With a traditional wired mouse, you keep it plugged in all the time. In this case, you only keep it plugged in an hour or two every week or two.

It can still be used while charging. So when charging it's not any different than a wired mouse.
One time my instagram account was suspended for suspicious bot-like activity. submitted all the appeal forms, sent them photos of my drivers license, sent them a photo of my face with a custom handwritten note held next to it (which they literally asked for), but no response.

Ended up making a facebook business page and running an ad to get access to FB business support. They were the ones who finally helped me get unbanned. My FB business did get permanently banned, but I only cared about the instagram account anyway :)

That's for now, I think only a handful of autos still have physical controls but every year that number shrinks...

SavageGeese on YT specifically points this out, and actually had a really great video on this very subject.

>Better fuel economy

Debatable, incredibly so. Vehicles have only gotten larger to side step the federal MPG mandate, so whilst it appears they're getting better gas mileage the reality is we've been stagnate since the 90s, per the UM report below.

http://websites.umich.edu/~umtriswt/PDF/SWT-2017-5.pdf

We could argue over emissions standards being much more stringent (and they have), but auto makers have sought to only embrace larger vehicles in lieu of proper fuel efficient development of ICE automobiles. Hybrids seem to be a stop gap, but R&D appears to have ceased on ICE in favor of EV.

Currently I'm car-free, I was an auto enthusiast (built plenty of different cars) and what I see on the road currently only reinforces the idea that rather than build a better car, automakers seek to only build them larger and more reliant on technology that trails smart tech by 15 years. In the meantime, I'll keep riding motorcycles (not perfect either) and bicycles.

I will say Ford releasing the Maverick was a bit of a wake up call that folks still want a truck, but not truck sized, and not getting truck MPGs.
I still maintain there's a strong connection to dihydrogen monoxide consumpti8on that no one is talking about.
Well, no one but me that is. And I suppose you, and maybe other people I haven't met, if any of you are talking about it. But it deserves more attention, irregardless.
I'd say there are many reasons, but I agree this is one of them.
I have found it extremely difficult to convince parents in their late 70s, and/or small town restaurants to stop purchasing margarine with partially hydrogenated oils.

Cool idea, was wondering if you could automate taking a photo of the thermal paper as it comes out of the printer, using a camera.

This is a wider issue with Flask and the surrounding ecosystem, and is also why I switched to Django a couple of years ago. I don't recall which package it was specifically, but there was a commonly used security package that was recommended by lots of blogs and tutorials, but the maintainer no longer wanted to maintain it but also didn't want to let anyone else contribute. So it led to another developer forking it and adding a '2' to the end of the name just to keep it current. This wouldn't have been such a big issue if the package didn't add really important security features to Flask, but due to the minimal nature of Flask it really depends on having a well-managed ecosystem of packages. My takeaway was that I felt I couldn't rely on Flask for an application that required features that weren't in the main Flask package itself.

But just wanted to also say, that the main reason I enjoyed working with Flask at the time, was due to Miguel's excellent mega-tutorial. Again, that speaks to the value of having a good ecosystem to support your solution. Flask have ultimately shot themselves in the foot by releasing something they must have known would break a huge number of sites, without bringing the community along with them on the journey.

Is hilarious to see Facebook flailing on a new social thing. I remember Google's early efforts with Buzz and social things in Reader. Oddly, I actually liked the social in Reader. And then they blew that by trying to redefine what social they had to be in Wave and then Plus. (It was plus, right? Baffling to me that I can't remember the name of a major google product from not that long ago.)

There's a whole genre of low-effort SEO articles that claim to answer the question "what programming language should I learn [in {year}|for {use case}]". This is just a thinly veiled entry into that genre.

It's not a genre that calls for nuance or even a little bit of understanding, you just need to make sure you use the right keywords to rank well for the query you're targeting.

Did you confuse my comment with someone else's?
They didn't open source Swift out of the gate because they wanted to guide its development according to the features and plans they had for the language. Wanting to have a firm grasp of the language's core features and implementation is reasonable. After all, I believe Lattner was unhappy with some early directions they took with Swift, but it was too late to change anything because libraries and such had already been written. I may be fuzzy on that, but that's what I seem to recall.

Also, I am not an absolutist where free software is concerned. It doesn't make the world worse to release proprietary software. Especially if you have the stated goal of eventually open sourcing it.
Yes, Teslas are still popular in China. Never said they're not. In terms of foreign brands, I mostly only noticed BMWs, Teslas, and a few Audis. In rural areas, some Toyotas. That's about it. The rest are almost all Chinese EV/ICE.
It is a double edged sword though, because a LOT of people, including many health-conscious people, think of fruit and fruit juices as equivalent when they very much are not. You can drink down 4-7 apples/oranges/etc worth of nutrient-rich sugar juice in a matter of minutes, with only a fraction (or effectively zero) fiber. Quite terrible for the kinds of insulin and leptin resistance, ATP disrupting effects discussed in the paper. It's also worth remembering that many types of modern fruits are extremely sugary and tend to be relatively less fibrous and nutrient dense than historical, wild, and heirloom varieties.

"Eat whole fruits regularly and in moderation" is much better advice overall. Simple, to the point, and cuts out problematic ambiguities.
I tried it, and it's super awesome. Try taking an image, ask to describe it, and feed the description back. I have never seen anything similar.

I don't get his point. Yes the World Map has Northern and Southern Hemisphere and the North is arbitrarily at the top. That is a convention primarily due to the people that drew the map lived there. What he seems to have discovered is that conventions are not facts. There are facts present in the map however such as how all the land masses are positioned in relation to each other. No convention can change the fact that Australia is closer to New Zealand than it is to the US. This does not change whichever convention is used regarding North, South, projection etc.

This is something akin to Kellyanne Conways "Alternative Facts" where she confuses alternate interpretations of what can be inferred from facts with distorting actual facts. So her phrase would more accurately be "Alternative too Facts".
Yeah, I wire everything too.

CATL and BYD are the top battery producers, after all. But after that you see Japanese and Korean manufacturers. Also, most of the batteries produced by CATL and BYD are going to satisfy internal Chinese demand, whereas most of the cars in the west are using non-Chinese batteries.

Tesla using CATL batteries in their entry level Model 3 is a huge breakthrough for Chinese battery manufacturers.
Overall I prefer MidJourney's styles and feature set. But it's really, really hard to make MidJourney draw the things I want, especially when there's specific/detailed scenery I want to depict. The latter is now quite doable using DALL-E 3 even though the drawing itself may not be as good as MidJourney.

I recently generated images for a presentation. It took about 30 tries to generate 5 suitable images. But I burned 60 MidJourney generations and in the end none of the results were satisfactory. But because they were ugly but because they didn't properly depict the concept I wanted.

Now, if I can import a DALL-E 3 image into MidJourney and then use Zoom Out from there, that would be wonderful.
Unless this precious tech is used against the people: surveillance, control, etc.
They forgot the /s after "sincerely".

> The ground connections of Hydro-Québec’s transmission system of high-tension lines and transformers eventually started conducting some of these earth currents, and at 2:43 AM, protective circuit breakers tripped at the Chibougamau substation in central Québec. This caused an imbalance on a 750 kV transmission line, which tripped breakers 150 km away.

> Within one minute, the cascading failures ...

So the actual problem was that all their power grid was turned off... ie. disconnected... ie. high impedance... ie. the most vulnerable state.

Operational changes could be made so that all 'tripped breakers' lead to at least one or other side of the breaker being grounded rather than left open circuit, which would solve the problem. That only needs to be the case during a solar storm, and electrical power lines are frequently grounded during maintenance for safety anyway.

Midjourney has been collecting human preference data for about a year now - every time you generate an image there and click on the one you want to enlarge you're providing a signal as to which image a human being preferred.

So my hunch is that humans prefer high contrast and high saturation images!
I prefer my markets free as in GPL, not free as in BSD. Net Neutrality ensures the freedom of the market itself. Absence of Net Neutrality gives incumbents the freedom to lock competitors out of the market.

Python dependency management certainly has many problems, but I don't think this is one of them--or at least, it's not a problem unique to Python. The practice of tutorials/docs/guides installing unpinned/latest versions is incredibly common in most (all?) scripting languages' communities. While that's not great, I don't think it has anything to do with the fragmentation of Python's dependency management.

I like playing with the odds and changing the unknowns to extremes in my head - what if abiogenesis is relatively common given the right conditions and enough time, and also that panspermia is common. This would mean that life could both easily arise alone on a planet and also the universe would be strewn with asteroids scattered everywhere carrying single-celled organisms/simple life.

Ignoring the question of the likelihood of intelligent life out there, I do wonder if maybe the universe is full of lush planets with lots of related lifeforms across trillions of star systems.

Could life even cross into new galaxies this way? I dunno! But it's fun to think about.

IntelliJ has just a billion little streamlined features that make the entire experience just smooth. Eclipse is in second place here, but VsCode with Java is a very distant third.

IntelliJ is functions without a lot of annoying bugs; everything is well tested and just works. Eclipse is buggier, and usually lags behind on supporting the latest JVM/Java/Framework features without bugs, but Eclipse has nothing compared to VsCode. VsCode just is just full of half completed features that work in very narrow circumstances. I don't know what to say; it's just not very well integrated, lacks a singular vision, and things generally are just broken.
That's right. And in China's case, it really is mostly trust, not fear.

Compared to the US, where the US government is not at all trusted, and feared by many. Minority groups fear it as a tool of oppression; one of the two major political parties regularly claims that the government steals elections from it.

There is good reason to fear the Chinese government, and some Chinese do. It is not a democracy and does not pretend to be. But it's not the "Big Brother" situation it's often portrayed as. Most Chinese genuinely believe that the government is a benevolent dictatorship that is working well for them.
Flask is a minimal web framework that relies on its ecosystem of packages and tutorials to keep it current and relevant. So yes, this is a problem for Flask if key packages that are recommended in just about all tutorials do not keep up to date.
One brand new wifi gotcha I just learned about, specific to 5GHz wifi: in the EU, that frequency band is used by other things, including radar for air traffic control and emergency services aircraft. The solution we decided on for that was to mandate that all 5GHz wifi devices stop broadcasting for a period of 1-10 minutes whenever a "privileged user" demands it.

I discovered this only when I moved to a place that has a higher-than-usual incidence of helicopters flying by and my wifi would randomly disconnect. I eventually solved it by finding the channel within the 5GHz frequency band that was least used by privileged users in my area, and now I only have a drop about once a month. But it used to be 3 or 4 times a day.

Uhhhh I've been talking about this for almost a decade now but people just judge me as being noob. Debuggers are nice but if you're a platform jumper they're more of a nuisance than helpful. I'm a programmer who shifts platforms very frequently and oftentimes use niche platforms with very little tooling. Once you do that for a long time you develop muscles to abstract out computation in a more fundamental way. There is always compute, there is always memory (N layers of cache, perhaps RAM, disk, remote etc) and chances are there is always some sense/form of logs. But sometimes there is no way to attach debugger. If one day you're writing code for GPU and the next day the same code is parallelized to 3000 tiny ARM vCPUs, and the next day the same code runs in WebAssembly you'd much rather not waste time playing around with debuggers. This is all to say debuggers are more of a specialized tooling and exceptions rather than the rule. I think software engineers would find some benefit learning techniques such as tracing, canonical logs, debugging logs, ad-hoc printf debugging etc. Just because noobs also do it, doesn't mean experts can't do it.

I have no problem with being unable to use debugger in WebAssembly, my primary approach to debugging is observable outputs from the system:

* Return value

* Logs

* Side effects

* Integration tests, unit tests

One thing i found neat about ChatGPT DALLE-3 is that it's usually generated via prompts like yours. "a cool treehouse" actually used "Oil painting of an old-fashioned treehouse in a serene autumn setting. The tree's golden leaves provide a canopy for the cozy wooden hut with a thatched roof. A ladder leans against the tree, and children play below, collecting fallen leaves." as the prompt.

Furthermore, i found it's very easy to tweak the general design. A cool image, copy the prompt, tell it to make it more X with Y and Z, and you start producing a really neat prompt.

So far as someone with a lack of mind-image but who enjoys creating computer graphics (3d, animation mostly) it's proven as a really neat test bed. Hallucinations are almost a feature in this to me, granted these aren't strictly that - just saying i find it's RNG flavor over my prompt is really nice for exploring.

Sidenote, i entered your text - looks great!
Awesome! Looking forward to connecting
