Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Jon wrote Building a Lord of the Rings keyboard this week about getting a mechanical keyboard. I definitely commiserate with his membrane keyboard complaint: But then I discovered that the "A" k...
If they are acting rationally, it's not possible. It is only logical for them to monitor the progress of the situation that was bad enough to force them to move underground. Even if society was lar...
Turns out, there is a "Homing" button hidden in the settings menu. Click on the cog wheel in the left sidebar of the touch screen to go to the settings page: Once in the settings menu, there is...
Sharing information about invasive species is an important issue. I started my town's Invasive Species Committee, and have seen some of these challenges first hand. Lots of people are doing their...
Artificial Life, a community for "the cross-disciplinary study of life and its abstract processes, distinct from but cross-informed by the specific instance of life that is studied as Biology", was...
I'm assuming here that a community for Worldbuilding exists and the focus is therefore on "how to tackle certain question types". Not "are certain question types indicating that Worldbuilding is no...
Existing communities that are different from standard Q&A There are already several Codidact communities that cater to art and have different rules than might be expected in a question and ans...
First, this scenario is highly implausible. Surely the people that went underground intended to pop up again once the war was over. That means they created some means to monitor the situation on ...
I have a website hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances behind an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). The load balancer is the newer "application" type. I've...
Evidentially my site is working over IPv6 with just the ELB IPv6 enable and AAAA record. ELB listener configuration The load balancer does have configuration on how to route requests to EC2. Her...
Say I wanted to make a "time machine" using command blocks. I can use /time add to change the time and make things faster, but I don't know how to subtract time as a /time subtract command doesn't ...
Search engines don't use metrics published by Moz for ranking purposes directly. There is no guarantee that improving your domain authority, or any other metric published by third parties will hel...
One design I've found is a beam compass, which requires three components: Beam - some kind of straight stick Point holder - the part that holds a needle that will stay fixed at the centers of a...
The context window of various GPT-3 models is given as 4-16k tokens. One token corresponds to about 0.75 words of English text. However, if an average book is 64k words, the GPT-3's context is far ...
Prompt engineering has emerged as a critical concept in the use of LLMs. Are there any good resources for learning prompt engineering techniques?
Dair.AI maintains a free prompt engineering guide. There is also another similar project which is structured as a course. There is also a literature review from March 2023 which is more technical ...
My personal opinion, not speaking for anyone else: A user-run community can't generally be the support site for your game or other product, but it can be a support site. Your players can get answ...
The goal of a soft-margin or C-SVM is to solve the following minimisation problem: $$\min_{\boldsymbol{w}, b} \frac{1}{2} \|\boldsymbol{w}\|^2 + C \sum_i \xi_i$$subject to $$\forall i : \begin{al...
Is it possible to run cordless tools (which normally take a battery) from the outlet somehow? While obviously the intended use of these is cordless operation, occasionally you don't have a charged...
I've had some old cordless tools where the tool itself has a charger port. I've tried running these while plugged in (but with the battery drained) and they didn't work. That's because the charger...
I have a Lutron Maestro MA-T530G. I installed this to control an old bathroom fan which was malfunctioning. I'm planning to replace the fan anyway later, but I wanted to have a timer in the meanwh...
You can't test such a timer with just a voltmeter. It is possible that the timer requires the load to try to draw some minimum current, which a voltmeter probably wouldn't. Or, the timer might ha...
Key information is in the installation manual. Unfortunately, as is often the case, Lutron doesn't have easy-to-find installation manuals on their own web site. Fortunately, Home Depot does. This ...
One screenshot per post. If someone posts for example a bunch of screenshots in different angles of the same object, then that gives them an unfair advantage in the friendly little competition. M...
I agree with this suggestion to use Meta to develop drafts (and was about to suggest the same thing). Another thing we could do, when initial drafts have settled down and if there are several page...
