Some really hyperbolic comments on there: JohnU says: "It’s all fun and games until helicopter crashes and what should be a minor incident turns into a nuclear emergency where you have to call very specialized decontamination units to

Yes, but if you were being accurate you wouldn't say "AI wrote this code for me", you'd say "I used an Eliza bot to automate copying and pasting from someone else's github repo".

Every time I've asked an LLM to provide some code, it's given me an example from my own github repos. Granted, I've only asked it about some of the weirdly specific technological niche that my code inhabits.

If we're going to be stupid with it, I should write up an article on my ultra-precise 16MHz Arduino that runs at cock on 16000000Hz. The crystal is replaced by a GPS-disciplined VCO. Why? Well, I wasn't doing anything else much fu

Also, LLMs never *write* code snippets, they just pirate them from somewhere else.

This runs on FlaskBB because I prefer Python to PHP. I'd love to write a backend for it to expose the forum as NNTP ;-)

I absolutely love goat's milk and I would love to keep goats, but they are every possible kind of a pain in the tits to deal with. A neighbour of mine had a goat that we thought had some terrible thing happen because she was choking an

Well, not quite, but it's one you're going to cull out at the end of the year when it's time for them to go to market. And of course, the only truly stockproof sheep enclosure is a deep freeze.

One day, someone - someone like you, maybe, someone with the Hacker Nature - was looking at the rice they'd bought and thought "You know what, it just *cannot* be all that difficult to just grow this stuff here, it costs a fortune

Pretty much all domesticated sheep will cast their fleeces. There are some breeds that don't, and obviously due to random genetics you'll get individuals that don't. Sheep that don't cast their fleeces are damn near impo

> Modern sheep grow their wool continuously, but that took a while to breed in. No they don't. In the summer their wool starts to grow out much thinner, like maybe a quarter as thick - it's really noticeable. This gives what&#x

I think I've mentioned it before here but at a hospital near me a few years ago they got a bariatric patient in who was so large they couldn't weigh her. I suggested that since they were near a VOSA inspection site they could have

I can't find it now but a while back on R*dd*t /r/synthesizers there was a diatonic Korg Triton that someone had clearly had custom made - possibly from the guts of a diatonic MIDI accordion, not sure. It looked pretty slick,

Tell you what though, thank you for providing such a comprehensive list of cool projects to nerdsnipe me on a sunday morning!

You've done it yourself. It's fine, it's a five minute job. Never been a problem before. Me? No, I've *never* done anything like that, that went wrong in an unexpected way, no no no, not me...

A five-minute "toolbox talk" with an experienced Lightning pilot would probably have been sufficient to warn him of the afterburner detent, and "Let's maybe not do that, eh?"

You can't actually write down "No-one did anything really wrong but let's not do that again, okay?" but you can write down something that says that.

It might have been SGI, instead of Sun. I know I had a big pile of Sun kit that came from Glasgow Uni, and some SGIs.

It depends on the exact definition of the word "hot" you mean. No, wait, it doesn't, you'll find any kind of hot you like.

I think they've archived all the old Linn Records stuff, which is excellent.

Methyl any sort of metal - especially heavy metals - are probably not something you want to splash on like aftershave. There aren't really any "good" organometals, but if there were, they wouldn't be this stuff.

Because there is nothing to screenshot. Others have speculated that the UI looks like ass. Some have said "Mac OS window chrome with Win 95 GUI controls. Yeah, no. See for yourself. This is the most recent release on their github page.

Lead's pretty straightforward to work with, if you don't get it hot enough to give off significant vapour (no, lead solder won't do this at sane temperatures) it won't do you any harm. Well not unless you drop it on your
