The cable between the two boards would be a maximum of 50cm. 3 of the signals are addresses for a multiplexer that would change at a maximum speed of 2ms per change. One of the other signals is a 20khz pwm signal. The final signal is a zc detector for mains so max Freq of 100/120hz.

None of this will be a problem over 50cm of cat5. If you were talking about millivolt or MHz signalling then you’d have to be a bit more careful.

Regarding wifi and power draw, you could always do batch uploading of data to another server at something like a 1:10 ratio, or upload only when there’s a change of more than 1 degree or similar.

There are some low power deep sleep esp32 boards out there that can do like 3-6 months on a couple of AA batteries. A lot of power draw comes from hanging around on wifi doing dhcp, so having fixed addresses can cut down power usage considerably.

Even without using the wifi side of things the esp32 boards come with lots of IO , plenty of drivers for various devices, and a reasonable in-house (i.e. not Arduino) development environment so I’d be leaning in that direction.

You could also look at Sharp’s memory LCD as opposed to normal LCD, as that’s extremely low power without the fiddlyness of e-ink screens.

It’s a 1/4 wave antenna with a groundplane. Physics dictates the size.

Compared to the PCB antenna in your average USB dongle, this would have at least two to three times the range, and likely more than that, because you can put it somewhere more optimal than just poking out the back of your device.

entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology

Or some math nerd will come up with an algorithm for general AI that is embarrassingly simple, and before you know it the “but can it run Doom?” crowd are implementing AI in toasters and watching them have existential crises for the lulz.

It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is.

Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There’s just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn’t be a problem!

Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.

with the upcoming 2025.2.4 update of JetBrains IDEs.

Once again my policy of never letting software auto-update itself comes out on top.

It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.

TL;DR ; let me give you an alternative opinion.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so I don’t have to be a hunter-gatherer. Cryptocurrency ends up either an being outright scam or rather difficult to exchange for goods and services in everyday use.

Some 3:1 glue lined heat shrink on the backs of each connector might do the job.

The glue melts during heating and with a 3:1 ratio you get quite a bit of glue forced in around the wires as it shrinks. It then sets pretty robustly once you get down towards room temperature.

You could try shrinking maybe some 6 or 10mm heatshrink over approx 25-50mm either side of the connector (with a bit of overlap on the connector) and see how it goes. Fully shrunk it’s pretty chunky but it won’t be any bigger than the connector.

This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.

No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next village dataset.

I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.

• Algorithm shows a preview of a chaotic scene where the content isn’t easily identified.
• You open / interact / linger on it to figure out what is happening before identifying it as something you don’t want to look at.
• Algorithm detects increased interaction and happily serves up more.

I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick “not interested” on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear.

I generally have to press “not interested” about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts.

English readily absorbs both the best and worst of all the other languages. If some other language has a word that really hits the mood of even just a small amount of English speakers - bam! - it’s English now, motherfucker!

Add to this, it’s chock-full of complicated and often hidden rules that can - or absolutely cannot - be broken, depending on context. No wonder people learning it as a second language have that permanently confused look on their face.

The thing about the English language is that you can verb any noun you like and get away with it. Just like I did in the previous sentence.

You missed a thorn in your reply there in your first paragraph.

And as an aside, sprinkling them throughout your reply heavily reduces the impact of your message. It’s a decoding stumble for most English readers who look at word shapes when parsing sentences.

So while it might be your thang - or perhaps you’re Icelandic and they’re just leaking through - it’s probably better to stick with th if you want to get your point across.

If you want to recharge a full 300-mile Li-Ion battery in 5 minutes, you need to supply 1200 kW (1.2 MW) of power.

Which is why cloning the traditional centralised ICE refuelling station concept doesn’t work with EVs.

The United States struggles with 4.8 kW home chargers and 150 kW superchargers.

With an average daily usage of 20kWh for a 60 mile commute in a mix of stop and go and highway traffic, a 4.8 kW charger can top off your EV battery at home in 4 hours. A 2kW charger can do it in 10 hours.

That’s the mindset that needs to change. You shouldn’t have to visit an external charging station every few days to cram another 100kWh of power into your battery. You put a charge into your battery at home every night. It’s fully charged again every morning for your commute. The mega charging stations are then only used for long distance travel.

So, just like we built ICE refuelling stations dotted all over the place, we need to put in the infrastructure for localised EV charging at homes. Colder climates have the advantage already, as parking lots are already full of engine block heater connections and in a lot of euro countries they’re used for EV charging. It can be done, it’s just a change.

Have a look at EasyEDA. Browser UI, schematic and PCB design, linked to JLCPCB for ridiculously easy board creation, and if you take care to use components they have in stock out of their design libraries you can also do fully populated boards ready to go.

Here’s a post I made about a solar hot water system controller using easyEDA with a few images of the board and schematic at the bottom.

I was talking more about unwrap causing a panic rather than calling the actual panic macro directly. Rust forces the programmer to deal with bad or ambiguous results, and what that is exactly is entirely decided by the function you are calling. If a function decides to return None when (system timer mod 2 == 0), then you’d better check for None in your code. Edit: otherwise your code is ending now with a panic, as opposed to your code merrily trotting down the path of undefined behaviour and a segfault or similar later on.

Once you get to a point where we are doing the actual panic, well, that is starting to just be semantics.

causing the program to crash if it actually was an error, restoring the more unsafe behavior of other languages.

Wellllll it’s more of an abrupt exit rather than a crash, which is still better than eg. silently accessing beyond the end of an array, or ending up with a pointer to nowhere when you thought you had a sane memory reference.

It’s ok, that 1500 watt output is only for a microsecond before all the 3 cent “power” MOSFETs inside act as fuses.

More likely, there is enough internal capacitance for the inverter to sustain one (1) half of a full-wave AC cycle at 1500W, after which the overload/low voltage cutout triggers.
