Not all enterprises are the same, I imagine many companies have different departments working with local optimums, so someone who could benefit from it to get more productivity might not have access to it because the department that is doing hardware acquisition is being measured in isolation.

I think it’s a little unnecessary to lecture somebody on HN about how enterprises come in different shapes and sizes. It’s pretty clear what I’m implying here if you aren’t actively trying to assume the most reduced, least charitable version of my statement.

> A DC power supply capable of providing 12V

Hey, I just remembered my school used to have ages ago some cool power supplies (I think from Agilent?) that were very idiot proof, they had current limit with a dial that I think didn’t went over 1A or perhaps even less, and they would instantly disarm on short circuit (and indicate it with a led), and also the voltage dial I think wouldn’t go over 25V. I remember it was very big and heavy, but it survived countless students that used the lab daily.

Nowadays, is there any power supply available that is that resistant or is the recommended approach to get an used old one? Does anyone have a power supply at home that is also used by kids with a brand/model they would recommend? Thanks!


What you're describing is a lab power supply. (The "instantly disarm on short circuit" is overcurrent protection, which is a standard feature.) The name brands like Keysight or Rigol are kind of expensive, but there are a lot of no-name models on Amazon which will do the job well enough.

Thanks! I had a BK Vision or something similar at some point and it just blew up. I will give it a search for these brands, sometimes I find a well-cared used one from the more expensive brands at good prices so that’s what I will look for first. :)

Keysight == Hewlett-Packard Old School.

Or Agilent, at some point in between

{Keysight, Agilent, Avago, HP, HPE} are/were all HP

Those were called something like desktop power supplies.

AT $5k it better make me breakfast, too.


Got this for ~50$ a while ago. It works perfectly for this exact setup (Tesla MCU on a bench), tested it, and used it for a lot of other projects.

They have variable dc power supplies on amazon on the cheap.

If you want that sort of reliability it will probably go towards 100$.


I went to check on this and I have everything copilot related disabled and in the two bars that measure usage my Copilot Chat usage was somehow in 2%, how is this possible?

Before anyone comes to me to sell me on AI, this is on my personal account, I have and use it in my business account (but it is a completely different user account), I just make it a point to not use it in my personal time so I can keep my skills sharp.


Does Github count it as copilot chat usage when you use AI search form on their website, I wonder?

I wonder if that’s it! I occasionally do some code search on GitHub and then remember it doesn’t work well and go back to searching in the IDE. I usually need to look into not the main branch because I do a lot of projects that have a develop branch where things actually happen. But that would explain so I guess this is it.

If you're taking about the quota bar. That is only measuring your premium request usage (models with a #.#x multiplier next to the name). If you only use the free models and code completion you won't actually consume any "usage". If you use AI code review that consumes a single request (now). Same with the Github Copilot web chat, if you use a free model, it doesn't count, if you use a premium model you get charged the usage cost.

I am pretty sure network knowledge and all those things are still necessary for people running data centers and really big computers and I imagine we will build a lot more of that.

Also anyone making a homelab has to know these stuff.


No one commented about Ubuntu team Mir approach. I wish it stayed in the running. :)

Is the axe drawing actually a hammer?


Looks like an axe to me. The cutting edge of the axe is embedded into the surface. And the handle attaches near the back of the head like an axe. Most hammers I've seen the handle attaches in the middle.


hahaha; this is what I was going for.


Just FYI, your handle is on backwards.



Assuming the cutting face is down, the handle is on "backwards" too (the swell at the bottom normally goes the other way).


I believe it's actually trying to render a splitting maul, which people often confuse for an axe.


Splitting mauls have a wider angle to help separate wood pieces and a beefier back to use with/as a sledgehammer or splitting wedge. What's rendered is definitely more like an axe than a splitting maul.


What you're describing is exactly what I see in the image.


Fair enough. Hard to tell one way or another with all the "action" marks.


Sure is. How weird.

With how much RAM? How much storage does it requires?


If you walk very early in the morning looking for something to capture while everyone is asleep, chances are the water bodies (ocean, river, lake, ..) are somewhere you know that you can plan to go to, and also they are reliably in the same place - so if say you forgot and took dead batteries, your cable failed or you got the wrong mic, you can try again on the next day.

Capturing other things may be harder - a bird may not be there, the wind may change from day to day and so on. Water is usually satisfying to hear and a good subject to experiment and explore when you are beginning in field recording.


I remember I could connect love2d to the IDE I used and debug lua just fine with it. Which IDE you were using?


Dell Pro Max, I think the Latitude line disappeared. But I feel Lenovo is the last one too, the only brand I trust for a Windows or Linux machine these days. I like Apple hardware and have my reservations with macOS, but it is still better than Windows.
