It is very disappointing that you can't see what you got right or wrong without giving out your email. I'm not even sure if one would learn from the email or whatever the calibration result is.

I'm happy for you if it works but I sure feel cheated. I hope others also feel it's against the spirit of a Show HN. But maybe it's just me.

Hm, long time ago.. I’d say 3 years.

Definitely more than 1yr and less than 10. I know that’s a wide range, sry.

For what its worth, I’ve tried this with my family when I was in my teens, some 20+ years ago. The idea wasn’t to test it’s really them, rather that they are not forced to say things.

Then came the time when I wanted to use it. They didn’t remember. Not the phrase. Nor that we ever talked about this in the first place.

I also caught this but then figured 10m may not be the typical drawing time. 10m -> 1m means 10x faster. 5m = 300s alas 3s/drawing. So maybe it only tool 30s/drawing previously. (Unlikely.)

But even then, it also says 5m can save days of work. Days is minimum 2days, or 16h, or 960s. That’s not 10x faster as previously stated, but 192x faster.

So yeah, it doesn’t add up.

Oh does it? Thanks for the clarification then. Their home page said 2.5kW so I assumed that's what it is.

To be fair, 2.5kW does sound too much for a single 3x3cm chip, it would probably melt.

This would be a hell of a hot power bank. It uses about as much power as my oven. So probably more like inside a huge cooling device outside the house. Or integrated into the heating system of the house.

(Still compelling!)

Isn't syntax pretty much just compression? We could write down the AST itself in some generic notation but that would be orders of magnitudes larger, so invent clever tricks to compress it, which we call syntax.

Edit: typo

Exactly my thoughts.

I’d love to have this for phone calls and sms as well. If you didn’t spam me, I’ll refund.

In my book, asking for a tip is called begging. A tip is voluntary.

The problem is there are not 100 tools out there but literally infinite, in the sense that one could not learn them all simply because new ones are created faster.

Given that, the article does have an implied filter criteria that goes unsaid, even though it says otherwise.

That was most certainly a joke. He called out that grandparent made a typo in the last sentence and drove that home again by also making a typo in the last sentence when referencing grandparent's role. I had a good laugh.

To elaborate, while I like such optimization efforts, for this to work you'd need to run your own datacenter because the _ones I have found_ that offer cheap bandwidth require IPMI (to lower their labor costs).

Or you need to know some providers I don't know, in which case, tell me. :)

Does any consumer grade motherboard have IPMI* support? When I tried to optimize my server costs one issue I ran into was that colocation providers require IPMI capability, which seems only available in server-grade motherboards.

* IPMI is for remote hardware management

Much more than money? 80% of your reasons are about money. :) /All but the last one./
