   I’ve been programming professionally for 31 years. With all those guardrails it writes functional code - but I would still not call it good. But hey to each their own.

   Analyzing? No. It’s just being sycophantic. Try it on code that’s actually correct - it’ll go all “oh you’re absolutely right” and wreck it anyway.

   It’s really good at writing bad code - something that superficially works but is badly architected, abstracted, or wrong in a subtle way. Only a novice would look at ai code and say “wow this is good”.

   It’s likely it missed some crucial subtlety that will come to bite you in the ass down the line. That’s the thing with AI - its responses sound plausible enough to non-experts but time and time again I see experts in any given field being a

   First word of the alert : EARTHQUAKE. What do you do? There are no tsunamis in Mexico City haha

   You always need to act on it. Get an earthquake alert? Run outside. You can go back if it was a false alert. In Mexico City the seismic alert gives like a minute (sensors are on the coast off Guerrero 350km away). Communities closer to the

    Being pedantic, in many countries, engineering disciplines are regulated and you can’t officially call yourself an engineer until you’ve complied with some requirements etc. So there’s kind of a guild in many places.

    I’d rather see neither but if I must choose, formal it is. I ignore cold emails anyway.

    Sorry for my crappy phrasing! I mean in the current building spree for AI, not in general.

    USA is not building anything. Private companies are. And unlike regular infrastructure projects (housing, transportation, energy) this won’t really benefit the public at large when it’s done. It’ll just enable companies to churn out more sl

    Do you have any cameras that support openipc you’d recommend? I need surveillance cameras (outdoor mostly) but the cheap ones I found are a horrid proprietary mess. I even bought and returned one after the setup was complex and invasive. Ba

    You must have a newer kindle. Koreader was basically my best bet once mine (2012 vintage) stopped being supported by Amazon. Native epub support plus other goodies. I’m sure you’re aware that emailing an epub to your kindle converts it to m

    Just a personal blog, and I have to admit it had a misconfiguration that was my fault - nonexistent urls would redirect to the index. Still, dumb scraper bots would 1) not realize there was a redirect loop and kept trying every possible url

    No. Works predated Office by 3 years at least. The first versions of Works ran under ms-dos.

    Microsoft doesn’t belong in this list after they trademarked Windows, Word, Works (remember, Microsoft Works is an oxymoron) and others.

    Depending on those vaunted “security researchers” to take point and find all vulnerabilities in all packages is also fairly naive. That process costs money and produces a fairly valuable result - why would they give it away for free? So thi

    There’s no obvious way to switch to normal (aka “light”) mode. Dark mode is very difficult for some people (me included) to read. If you must default to dark mode that’s your choice but I’d love to see a light mode toggle somewhere prominen

    It’s interesting that you mention Garmin - they’re a good example of pivoting from your original market (standalone gps units for cars) once you see a nimble competitor eating away at it (gps-enabled smartphones). Garmin would be dead if th
