Impressive array of functions, haven't tried yet, but potentially the most useful tool/s of all is missing - named destinations. Additionally the ability to convert bookmarks<->named and to set bookmarks based on the font s

Yeah well for whatever reason I often tend to drop a lot of those small words when typing something on keyboard...

Great article. Where I live, on the taller buildings it is common to have banks of elevators which only service certain floors, eg floors 2:25 and 26-50 are two different banks of elevators. Some modern elevators have two cars per shaft, im

8 months ago I got claude to do a perfect reproduction of the arcade asteroids game on a simple prompt and a once through. I then got it to do lunar lander, that was also perfect, and very hard to land.

"If you specify every possible detail in a design doc, you’ve essentially written the implementation during the design phase. That would defeat the whole purpose of a design doc." However if you do this as an executeable specifica

There are more than one set of tuning settings, depending whether optimised for start up, steady state, minimum overshoot etc

Pretty easy to tune really - almost never use derivative, increase the proportional until oscillations occur then halve it, add a little integral, not so much it oscillates.

based on multiple personal experiences, and that of friends/acquaintances, I have no doubt it works for reduction of inflammation of the sort you get spraining you ankle. must be taken with pepper extract to increase bio availability,

Conflict arises from differing or unmet expectations. So the easiest way to eliminate a lot of issues is clearly agree and define expectations up front. There is a reason a whole branch of project management is called Expectation Management

AI allows anyone with a minimum amount of intelligence and operational expertise to become an "Expert Beginner" (currently). What can you do with a whole team comprised only of Expert Beginners?

this is fucking awesome it is fast, there is no fucking gateway fuckaround or any other similar issues, up and going in seconds straight away I added two skills, that it wrote for itself, read my gmails and attachments, and browse the web,

I am sort of in the same place, it seems to have lost enough of the magic that I might be better trying to do more with running local LLMs on my 4090. The thing is running local LLMs will give some kind of reliability and fixed expectations

Pdf is all about presentation, not about communication. While the two can be closely aligned, it is not neccesarily the case, if not often misaligned priorities. Many pdfs are hard to read based on a consistant set of rules, reliance on edg

Similar to aviation s marine safety. Both started with a bunch of prescriptive rules that were added to as various accidents and near misses occured. As you say. Then, in the last couple of decades there has been a move to performance based

Humans don't really work any better, just fail in different ways. This is why certain workflows and practices have emerged. We are now in the early days of working through a similar process with AI. They most definately do work for som

As most results in coding by AI are the result of some kind of recursive application of the fundemental concept, irony is abundant.

Definately, I am similar vintage and work in Functional Safety, see my other comment re specification.

by airbreather 6mo ago
Yes definately, I do a lot of OT devops and if you want determinstic results then the best use of AI is to get it to write scripts that solve your problems and that you run outside of AI. Often, the use of AI is a lazy case of not wanting t

The problem isn't the AI writing the code, it is the specification - I assert much of the described problems could be rectified by improved specification with no hand coding. Specification of software has been very weak for decades, an

Even if not explicitly looking like a state machine, it will have state based behaviour that could be represented by a state machine. Almost everything is state based behaviour.

All the whingers about AI - if it is as bad as you say, then you don't have a problem On the other hand, if it is not, then stop wasting effort arguing against the inevitable and use that effort to get ahead of the curve. Either way, w

I would suggest that the 1000 line switch statement implies a state machine that has suffered from the "state explosion". This usually results from an inadequate system-subsystem decomposition and/or not considering modes, bo

As an electrical engineer with more experience than the average age of the readers here, this is a problem that is way, way more complicated than 99.9% of the population have any concept of, to be generous. This is in terms of grid dispatch

As always has been, but for most of two boom times throught he industry was forgotten, is that specification is everything. If you adequately specify what you want, then LLM's today are perfectly capable to produce code of a quality ex
