As somebody who has spent many years doing embedded+iot related to remote fleet firmware updates, this is the kind of thing that lurks in my nightmares. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Rivian engineering/operations this week!

As a grayhead who does not code daily anymore, I was impressed with ChatGPT as a programming sidekick. It's like having an on-call junior developer who only costs $20/mo. I needed a quick and dirty utility developed last month an

Even though it might make oldschool/retro developers recoil, I fancy the notion of being able develop for older systems using modern languages and tools. I know that even using C instead of ASM on these 8-bit systems typically results

Having played around with openai's DALL-E 3, I can definitely imagine a future where you can find "gray market" AI's that are trained on data without consent and generate content without restrictions.

Yeah I liked one of its suggestions for a sailboat with rocky forested coastline in the background, so asked it to refine it to look photographic. But the result still looked more like an illustration.

It's 30+ years later, but I'm pretty sure that I could still use "copy con" to craft a decent config.sys and autoexec.bat Having done it so many times, those things are burned into my brain forever.

Way back in the BBS era I learned "Do not feed the trolls", but I'm not sure that this rule applies to lonely restless insomniac megalomaniac multibillionaires hopped up on ketamine. I love the idea that starving Musk of atte

My boss and I have been working on projects together for almost 20 years. Here is how our [dis]functionality works: 1. He tells me how long the project should take and how much it should cost. 2. I agree not to laugh or to cry. 3. I develo

Can somebody who works in the industry explain why it's so difficult for telcos to trace and block a high volume of dodgy calls with spoofed caller id that are likely originating from overseas?

I think you mean "For reasons I still can't fathom, a contractor for the Israeli military decided to use Windows Mobile" ;) j/k; I'm [almost] not ashamed to admit that I also developed for WinMo once upon a time.

In places where mutton is consumed, I'm curious: is there a distinction between "sheep raised for mutton" and "sheep raised for wool", or is it always both? Do all wool sheep eventually become mutton?

Remember America, this power is coming from Quebec so you will need to update the localization settings on your electronics devices to accept fr-CA. Otherwise the signal will be out of phase.

Due to the sorry state of journalism, social media, and people's capacity for critical/ethical thinking, I expect the internet to very soon be flooded with "covid vaccines proven to cause diabetes in children".

I'd like to think that Canada has a clean enough reputation as decent global citizens that they've earned the benefit of the doubt on this one. India aspires to be a global superpower, and since there's few decent role models
