Remember kids: if you're wondering why dry this old low-quality filament, the answer is that it will literally jam your printer in every single way that you didn't know was possible AT THE SAME TIME
Just had to pull _every_ component on the filament path and unjam them one by one

Most of my Django apps will reduce the time to execute `./manage.py` commands dramatically (I expect factors 10 or more on some projects)

When you send data over the Internet, it goes through a network of physical cables. If you follow the Ethernet hole in your wall you can land in any room in the world that has an Ethernet cable delivering Internet.
Except for the last few meters happening in Wifi. That's ironic in a way.

It's like if when the ENIAC was released someone was saying "okay we're gonna cover 50% of US territory with computers and it's gonna do all the math in the world"
Sam Altman says OpenAI has committed to spend about $1.4T on infrastructure so far, equating to roughly 30GW of data center capacity (Ina Fried/Axios)

Cloud exists for a real reason, although my suspicion is that given the prohibitive margin of those hyperscalers and the ever-improving state of open source infra... There will be a breaking point, and it's not so far in the future.
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

The "body battery" indicator from Garmin is a mystery to me but I can clearly see the different periods of my day on the graph's slope (lunchtime quasi-flat, heated meeting goes down fast, etc). It'd be interesting to have the derived value in real time (or is it just the stress indicator?)
