Grok and Roll just repeats: "Queue's Clear, Let's dive into all Blues by Miles Davis, to keep the Jazz Flowing" Not very promising.

I think the point is that people who are making the accusation of vibecoding (or just using a prompt to make something) don't understand the work that it takes to make something. Something similar happened with the invention of the syn

I'm trying to understand "the point." The linked K manuals are from the 1990s. Is this project a way of running legacy code on a modern system? Is there a die-hard group of K enthusiasts who are behind this? Does K have forgo

I've resorted to using Rust + vcad, although I think I'll give OpenSCAD a spin. I haven't tried telling AI to "make a thing," but I'm able to get Co-pilot to refactor code. It's just the geometry that make

Well, you clearly have no sense of humor. In all seriousness, all you need to do is take bathroom breaks at chargers. That's all it takes, and you can't hold it for 300 miles.

I think you miss the point. Think of the movie Titanic, where people were on the boat for a very long time, as opposed to merely an overnight trip.

I've lost count of the number of people who I've had to explain that, on long trips, you don't "stop to charge." You charge where you stop to poop.

One interesting lesson from airships is about disruption and how people take old assumptions into new paradigms. Today we're used to being on plans for short periods of time. We get on, sit down, wait, and then arrive at our destinatio

I've found that AI is extremely useful when coding: For example, a task that used to take 3 days I can now do in about a day, in part because I can do things like have the agent write tests, or because I can have the agent start from s

277 volts, which is line to neutral in a 480 volt three-phase system. It's common for lamp posts in parking lots. J1227 would require a transformer, but NACS doesn't.

No, reading and understanding is not the bottleneck. Whoever is running the AI is spamming instead of doing the actual work. IE, they are just pushing their work onto the people who would review legitimate submissions.

Yeah, I was thinking that it would make more sense to drydock them closer to the lake, than to maintain drawbridges that are only used once a year. Looks like the drawbridges run more frequently.

I'm curious why the sailboats need to enter and leave once a year? Is it that they are drydocked over the winter?

Good, there's no legal standing for them to charge you. The police should be the responsible party. If it's taken to collections, just take the hospital to small claims. You'll win. (And the hospital needs to collect from the

Because the vast majority of things I self-censor I'm very careful about where and when I discuss it... And I make a point of seeing the people I care about face to face.

Did you pay the bill? Take the hospital to small claims court as the procedure was illegal, non consensual, and not medically necessary.

No, my wife works at a hospital. The story is that a cop dragged a suspect into the hospital and demanded that a nurse give the patient a blood test, which is extremely illegal. The cop arrested her, but she was 100% in the right and the ju

by gwbas1c 5mo ago
Did they have a warrant? They (the cops) can't force a hospital to do anything without a warrant. Sue the hospital & police; if you can't afford a lawyer, take whoever billed you to small claims to get your money back.
