I also don't use org-mode anymore, but sometimes I really do miss org-babel-tangle. In contexts where doctests aren't available it can be really helpful for making sure code listings actually work.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, it's a pervasive flaw across all these IoT products. See my description elsewhere here about how Haier "smart" controls work. It's completely insane, and pointless. For systems that

None of the existing smart controls stuff I've found really does it for me. I'm trying to build a hybrid heating system with 4 hydronic zones and 8 minisplits. For my HVAC controls the design is converging to a round mechanical Ho

The "smart" thermostat stuff is scary. I have Haier minisplits in my house and they have some "smarts" built into each head unit. The way it works from the user's perspective is you connect to the device in the GE H

Is there a docker-compose analogue in Bastille? I like being able to spin up an isolated local copy of my infrastructure, run integration tests, and then tear it all down automatically. I'd like to be able to do a similar thing with ja

You've hit spot on something important here, that AI arrived at a time when the shine has worn off the tech. Google got evil, Twitter was eviscerated by a clown who likes to make nazi salutes, Facebook plumbed depths of enshittificatio

If an AI agent ever became as productive at writing code as a well-organized 20 person engineering team you'd still need to run it for a year or more to replicate any nontrivial SaaS product. And the thing about many of these products

Or those people aren't actually very smart, or they're caught up in the hype, or since they are very smart they exist in a mode where their experience doesn't translate to normal, everyday situations. It seems that AI codin

Meanwhile, according to Jensen Huang, the reason growth isn't on track is all the negative skeptics: > In Mr. Huang’s view, the critics want regulations that will hamper the A.I. industry and slow it down. Meanwhile, the skeptics ar

Yeah, you're likely right it probably makes sense to just run it rather than trying to optimize further. As for excess weight, there is some--mine is a rare variant that has a small cuddy cabin forward, and that thing is really wet and

Much like we now say somebody has been "one-shotted", might we now say they have been "clawed"?

That's awesome, and I'd love to see a whole bunch of data backing it up. If I was in a position to buy a product to do vuln scanning, and somebody showed me convincing evidence that this machine does the job.. you got a deal. I ca

I suppose I should have been more specific--pattern matching in text. We humans do a lot more than processing ascii bytes (or whatever encoding you like) and looking for semantically nearby ones. If "only" because we have sensors

I'm playing with this now too and it's really wonderful. I'm hoping that I can use build123d 100% for modelling individual parts and then FreeCAD for assemblies, simulations, etc.

Well, that unlimited damage scenario is one that I'd need to see a successful demonstration of before I'll worry about it. Like, sure, if we end up building some computer program that allows a bored kid to do real damage then I&#x

That quote jumped out at me for a different reason... it's simply a falsehood. Claude code is built with an LLM which is a pattern-matching machine. While human researchers undoubtedly do some pattern matching, they also do a whole h

Thanks, I will. Whether a computer program is outside the control of the original human or not (e.g. spawned a subprocess or something) is immaterial if we properly hold that human responsible for the consequences of running the computer pr
