Cables are hard! Back when I did EE work we tried to avoid cables as much as possible because they cause all sorts of annoyances

It all doesn't quite work well enough to justify all the new tech. My 7 year old car is pretty good, it has a small 8 inch screen which does car play/android auto and has nice buttons and dials for all controls. No distractions!

I like the term "bullshit" over "hallucination". These AI machines have no perceptions, no concept of truth, so indeed they are just spewing out words with no regard for truth. And unfortunately the cost of spreading bul

I believe extensions are actually installed on the host itself! At least when I use vs code remotely it shows "install on xxx" for each extension if I haven't installed it yet

Some people are using rust in embedded, but I would estimate that 95-99% of embedded is still C/C++. If you want to get into firmware, I'd recommend focusing on C instead and learn things like RTOS. Someday rust might be more popu

Behind the Bastards is a great podcast. I think they did a good job bringing this guy's viewpoints to the forefront here, and explaining the context.

This sounds like great advice! Take the move in stride, be positive, and play the long game.

There are some tools that read your screen and can provide hints and solutions for coding type questions. I honestly don't trust myself to not mess it up, plus the whole ethics side of it, but I'm sure that will always be a proble

I think it may be unfair to pin each of those factors individually on the crash, but I do believe that collectively when you have an administration reaking havoc and chaos across all federal agencies, things are gonna happen.

I think it is definitely possible if you are smart and motivated. This is my career path that worked for me - - Started out at a small research organization after college. The pay was very low but I got to have a lot of autonomy and own in

There are a few other benefit to copper fills as well - it makes routing power much easier, it separates analog and digital regions of a PCB, and it helps with heat dissipation. I do agree that just because you have a fill, that doesn'

Yeah it definitely needs to be short! Recruiters have way too many applicants so the more succinct the better.

I've stopped doing cover letters entirely and have had more luck. I've heard the same from others too. I do have a few separate resumes with different focuses, and tweak a one sentence summary at the top.

The problem is that people who use the toxic definition of alpha really like it! There is no motivation to change sadly.

The same Hotz who lasted like 4 weeks at Twitter after announcing that he'd fix everything? It doesn't really inspire a ton of confidence that he can single handedly take down Nvidia...

Maybe it's easier to verify a working program with the docs rather than try to build something from scratch? I agree it's a bad idea to fire off AI code without any sort of understanding though!!

by roland35 2y ago
Plus I feel like at least compilers are at least deterministic? AI is not repeatable or provable at all

That's the type of thing AI is great for! I find AI is pretty decent at generating data related code with Pandas, and I since I only rarely use Pandas it saves me a ton of time relearning everything. Where ai starts breaking down is ho

I don't understand the the configuration argument against neovim! In my opinion there are a few good choices: - none or very minimal config - install lazyvim or other tool Then you're done! The option is still there if you really

Surround is amazing. I agree that all these vim modes are nice, but nothing beats the real thing.

Having worked on VR in the past, I feel like this is a fundamental problem of the technology unfortunately. We can add more and more mechanical solutions like this chair, or those 360 treadmills, but at the end of the day it is just not eas

It's crazy how I also had a private office when I was a fresh-out-of-school 22 year old only making $55k a year, and now it seems absolutely no one has an office despite making 4-10x that at big tech companies!!

At least with my camera the feed is low resolution and has the on screen overlays on it.
