- Comment on Linus Torvalds to critics of AI coding in Linux: "Fork it. Or just walk away." 1 month ago:
I have found no indication that FreeBSD won’t accept LLM-assisted contributions… On their wiki there is a small section about rules for a summer of code event, where they forbid it being used for coding, but just because that event is intended to be about learning… That doesn’t sound like a clear “no” to all LLM contributions.
- Comment on MPPT vs PWM - The Difference Explained (With Diagrams) 2 months ago:
Mh, I have an academic background in electrical engineering with focus on energy storage (primary), power electronics (and grids). I must say, in terms of academic knowledge the distinction made in that explanation is nonsense. MPPT devices also use pulse width modulation as an underlying technique but have another layer of feedback control on top. I also don’t think that you can say that the power electronic circuits are generally different between the two. But of course that additional control layer probably means there’s additional microelectronic circuitry.
HOWEVER, I know marketing people and maybe the distinction presented there makes sense when talking about actual products on the market and under which product categories they’re sold…
- Comment on "What do you mean the Brits want revenge for us flattening London!?" 2 months ago:
I am too. Fun fact (you probably know if you support that message, but for everyone else): Dresden’s destruction is just so well-known because it was abused by Nazi propaganda to “show how evil those allies are”. Other German cities, and of course cities which fell victim to the Luftwaffe, saw much worse destruction.
