> The real value is in understanding the world (the processes involved) and modeling it in a way that cuts a good compromise between ease of use and complexity. Which I don't think can be replaced by AI in a lot of cases. I think in

I mean the direction of the AIs general tasking, it will do the command correctly but what it's trying to achieve isn't going in the right direction for whatever reason. You might be tempted to suggest a fix, but I truly mean for

Not often discussed is the digital nature of this all as well. An LLM isn't going to scale a building to illegally paint a wall. One because it can't, but two because the people interested in performance art like that are not boun

It has deleted a config directory of a system program I was having it troubleshoot, which was definitely not required, requested or helpful. The deleted files were in my home directory and not the "sandbox" directory I was running

I have to correct a few commands basically every interaction with AI, so I think YOLO mode would get me subpar outcomes.

It will happily run bash commands, which expands it's reach pretty widely. It's not limited to file operations, and can run system wide commands with your user permissions.

Digital agencies often trust their developers to interface with their clients. These are tight, trusting relationships built between two technical or tech adjacent teams in most cases. To say they are a public face would misunderstand the r

I don't buy your past paragraph at all I am afraid. Coding langues, even high level ones, are built upon foundations of determism and they are concise and precise. A short way to describe very precisely, a bunch of rules and state. Pro

Both human and AI should be able to understand the "way we do things around here" by reading the existing code. I could spend an hour telling someone how to write idiomatic code, and they will forget all of it until they actually

It lacks the ability to self correct and do all the adjacent tasks like client comms etc. So if I come back to it in the afternoon I may have wasted a day in business terms, because I will need to try again tomorrow. What do I tell the clie

Decent for large scale backup perhaps? Or remote plants (almost always mining in the middle of nowhere). Remote plants have fuel logistics already. Another fit might be somewhere like singapore which is very space poor but very trade connec

That's what I see when companies cut juniors as well. AI cannot replace a junior because a junior has full and complete agency, accountability, and purpose. They retain learning and become a sharper bespoke resource for the business as

I agree with your observations, in my own job I cover a great deal of the aspects of all software development practices for a few clients. Probably something you'd normally have a bunch of different roles do. Not because of AI, I have

I appreciate your willingness to keep trying to communicate your experiences. It's obviously a huge spectrum of possible lived experiences and incredibly hard to legislate in a way that does the best for everyone. Do you think having a

That's not true for the US, because minimum wage is so low you can be working full time and still be below the poverty line. The poverty line is not minimum wage, it's the amount it takes to afford to live.

That is the "big issue" I have found as well. Not only are enterprise codebases often proprietary, ground up architectures, the actual hard part is business logic, locating required knowledge, and taking into account a decade of c

It was a 2005 model, so it should have been possible. However the article isn't super clear on where exactly the software is running, and the transmission controller and engine control unit can be interlinked in various ways. Especiall

Having read your other comments I have a rough idea that you and I have both seen a fair share of Nissans and Datsuns thrashed into oblivion or rotting in the bush. If I had 30k and a time machine, I could have every one of my childhood dre

I also totalled my first Nissan. I'm sorry everyone, that was 100% my bad. I'm glad Nissan made a lot of them. That car had the digital "Heads Up Display" on the windscreen that a lot of modern cars are getting back now.

I was gobsmacked when they announced for DOHC head, is there some context I am missing as to why this makes sense for them to make as a heritage part? I absolutely love the heritage program. It's a love letter to its past and current e

And the presence of humans. Like with a lot of robotics, the devil is probably in the details. Very difficult to debug your robot factory while it's in orbit. That was fun to write but also I am generally on board with humanity pushing

We are jumping pretty far ahead for a planet that can barely put two humans up there, but it is a great deal of my scifi dreams in one technology tree so I'll happily watch them try.

> Don't underestimate the value of a scapegoat to point a finger at when things go wrong. Which is an interesting point in favour of the human employee, as you can only consolidate scape goats so far up the chain before saying &quot

I have the same thought, it must be as it's accounted for in medical practice, but also how would I know? I only have my subjective experience to go by. I think it is important to accept everyone's own experience of their pain tho

Nice! We don't see the P10 around my parts very often, super nice vehicle. I had a VQ25DET in a Nissan Stagea 250RX, and asside from being a gauntlet to work on in that engine bay, it was a rock solid motor.

I often say this even as a Nissan diehard, all our hero cars are slow as snails by todays standards. I've had the pleasure of driving a lot of these cars in factory form, like the Nissan Silvia, various years of Skyline, Supras and suc

I and many others posted it for reading by other people, many of us for a long time before this AI boom. Even with scrapers at least the eventual target was a human, all good. This is different, and everyone pretending it is not, is being i

I am unsure sorry, electric motors do still have efficiency curves so that could be it. But I think a retrofit to an existing driveline makes more sense. Food for thought though, trucks are much much heavier loaded than cars. 100-150+ tonne

Yeah it was pretty painful at first and at different times. Never like in tears pain though, just very distracting. I have broken two fingers and two collarbones, at different times, and a toe! Both collarbones were fully smashed to bits bu
