Presumably, sticking with USB lowers costs. Just buy mass-produced ports rather than invest in tooling to build a bespoke port.


They already produce custom designed ports in order to add some tolerance to make it easier to dock the device.


The choices aren’t limited to USB or bespoke. There are thousands of mass produced non-USB connectors available at any major electronics parts distributor.


First mention of [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ], which is important to ensure security updates have taken effect


Woltz is pleased that his idea translated into a swift recovery, but also a little regretful he didn't think of using QR codes – they could have encoded sufficient data to automate the entire remediation process.

I don't follow this, what could they have done with QR codes?


I'm fairly certain that played on British TV and was subsequently uploaded to YouTube (though the sequels did originate there).


It's the inverse, there was a sequel like 8 years later on Channel 4


Yes. Only once you truly love eating your big mac will the hamburgalar murder you.


When you examine the most common deaths for Americans, it's either the Hamburglar or cars


It's a dexterity game. Think of it like Jenga, even if you know which block to pull out, the tower can still fall if you don't do it cleanly.

At least with this you don't need to rebuild the whole tower!


Totally agree, the dexterity is what makes it fun. I was thinking about how a larger screen would help, or if I had longer fingers, or if I cut my nails it'd be better. The annoying fails build me toward a sweet victory. good rush.

Also, the cost of failing is not much, quick iterations. You just have to remember what you did.


Twister is the metaphor for me. I had to lock my orientation so that I could rotate the phone around to untie some of two and three finger ones.


No, they're not the same. In Jenga you usually lose in a way that you know could have been avoided. "If I had just held my hand still" or whatever. That is not what this is. This game is frustrating because it was poorly designed not because it is "hard".


If only you didn't let your finger slip off the line


Paul Krugman, is that you?


> Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally.

Do you mind sharing how? I didn't think the model was available to download and thought it was api only?


Bad take. He's actually asking for them to directly gather data as he trusts them more than the random middle-men who are currently providing the services he's interested in.

As someone working for a random middle-man, I hope OpenAI maintain the status quo and continue to focus on the core product.
