sandis··on Will supercapacitors come to AI's rescue?
Any examples of such providers?

sandis··on Boeing and NASA call off Starliner crew launch minutes before liftoff
The idea wasn't to have them compete. The idea is to have "dissimilar redundancy", so that the US still would have a human-rated launch system with the ability to go to the ISS in case one of them gets grounded for whatever reason.
sandis··on eu/acc
Haven't traveled to Denmark recently, but always use Bolt and/or Uber when traveling in Europe - can't recall a place where it wasn't available (Portugal, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain, Italy all had them from the top of my head).

sandis··on Gpt4free repo given takedown notice by OpenAI
A lot of comments confuse this with a different repo. It has nothing to do with the name. This project is/was a way to use LLM APIs on someone else's dime. It's the equivalent of "S3 4 free" where someone would collect exposed AWS credentials and use them to store their stuff.

sandis··on Apple Cancels AirPower Product
The article mentions (rumored) issues with 3D/overlapping coils that I imagine were needed to allow for multiple device placement anywhere on the mat.

>> Specifically, I’ve heard that they ran too hot because the 3D charging coils in close proximity to one another required very, very cautious power management.

sandis··on Coder (Visual Studio Code in browser) goes open source
Seems that (at least one) related bug got fixed in WebKit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149054#c17), but I haven't tested with the latest iOS betas
