Just updated with a comment. I see firefox crash routinely, so apparently our experiences are quite different :)

I forgot to mention - yes Im assuming 100% of firefox instances crash, if run long enough; I (still) use firefox as a second browser.

Going to be downvoted, but I call bullshit on this. Bitflips are frequent (and yes ECC is an improvement but does not solve the problem), but not that frequent. One can either assume users that enabled telemetry are an odd bunch with flak

Coding is just one of many possible skills you use as a maker; do you think everyone into 3d printing is a stm32 programmer or designs and manufactures their own pcb's? Of course not. Software is just a component. If your kick is softw

>You have no idea what codebases I've seen and worked in, so don't assume I have not. Why not? You've been quite confortable assuming things so far, without actually contributing anything of substance to the conversation.

Sure, and if it didn't is not complicated to add a new module. Thing is, the module does not support DMA. So, for the specific use case I gave, its not a good fit.

I don't think it has slowed down; in fact,I think it has grown in the last few years. Sure, it is a niche - and will probably always be - but one never had such a low barrier of entry to build stuff and be creative; you have plenty of

Yes, because human-made code is risk-free. I suggest you actually look at a codebase of a proprietary device before forming a proper opinion.

The other day I built a quick PoC to control 1024 rgb leds using RMT (esp32) and a custom protocol I was developing. Im pretty sure micropython would suck for that. The other day I also developed a RGB-RGBW converter using a rp2040; claude

So, because you don't see value in it, you assume its the same for everyone. Got it. Also, its not about if there are better or more reliable options; that's the opposite of the maker mentality - you do it because it is useful, it

I'd take vibecoded iot code any day vs the typical hot mess of poorly written code by non-experts following online tutorials and the casual stackoverflow copy-paste :)

TL;DR Quick answer: No. Long answer: its the opposite; as an example, can use claude code to generate, build and debug ESP32 code for a given purpose; suddenly everyone can build smart gizmos without having to learn c/c++ and having kn

You're not paying for the used server; youre paying for the used server and the replacement; thats how you can grow a business without assuming huge capex investments upfront. I think its still common for colo spaces to have installati

This happens to me all the time. I always ask claude to re-check the generated docs and test each example/snippet, sometimes more than once; more often than not, there are issues.

5 out of 7 means you cannot be in an eg. car accident with more than 2 of them at a time, if there is the possibility of all of them present in the car not surviving. Im also quite more practical - there are responsabilities that may go bey

Yes i offered a simplification, but reality is often nuanced. But, if you are in business, you accepted the terms and profited from them; Im not disputing how stupid or far-fetched the law is - Im just pointing out the child in the room. If

Look at amazon. They just announced their sovereign cloud offering. That's how you do business, and that's how you stay in business - you dont threaten your customer base.
