Meshtastic did, in a way. There are roles and settings to disable rebroadcasts, then you are effectively a client. And it is used to preserve battery.

Nobody uses the 1% bands afaik, there are 10% duty cycle bands.

Skill loss is real. BUT, I have been complaining about skill loss to my bosses for literally a decade. So AI is just one problem for me. I was coding less and less every year for some reason. I'm not sure skill loss is such a huge issu

I AM mad, because I just signed up for my private copilot sub. Otoh I do have it at work. I suspect we will start noticing differences there, too, but it all depends on the top users, vs average user since it is now pooled, IF they dont jus

Wow, having a corp. account I do wonder WHEN we are getting some kind of resctriction of usage, or require us to justify our usage. That GPT4-mini change is going to be brutal! Its much better than 5-mini, which was itself much better than

Ive also had huge problems with copilot and terminals, mostly due to corporate antivirus which makes it impossible to install clink for example. So the Shell integration never really worked. It has been fixed for a couple of months though n

Is Opus nerfed somehow in Copilot? Ive tried it numerous times, it has never reallt woved me. They seem to have awfully small context windows, but still. Its mostly their reasoning which has been off Codex is just so much better, or the gen

Why a bitmap font if you have tiny pixels? Just use a sharp font like Iosevka or similar.

Well, my latest guess is: not at all. It has been working "fine" for me generally for popular music. But then I was at a ice skating competition where there were some really nice synth:y music going on in the pauses, and I used Sh

"Re-attaching repeatedly showed the program was not deadlocked." Why re-attaching and not just resume then ctrl+c ? Is this some kind of clever hack I dont know about.

I dont understand how CC can burn that much money. Iv'e built many webapps using copilot, and our normal business tokens rarely run out. I would say Ive never exceeded 150% of a normal months tokens.

This is of course not a problem for business accounts. We are not allowed to use anything other than our company provided GHCP credentials due to the data retention clause in our contracts. Ie. they are not allowed to use our data.

As a Swede I also do all of these things. And it doesn't feel like anything special, I imagine hundreds of thousands of people do the same.

This is one of the few real clues in this article, I would say.

This is exactly the same thing with the car horn: in some countries it seems to be used for "hey you, unprotected person, do NOT swerve right now, I am passing you with my car" versus in Sweden where I live, your'e not allowe

"Do horns and bells really prevent accidents?" If you are a sane person, absolutely not!! You _try_ the bell, if people react, then you go. Many times it just confuses people or people ignore it. If you are a high-speed maniac and

Agree, I never actually had great success with Opus. I think its the failures that are annoying, its probably better than codex when its "good", but it fails in annoying ways that I think codex very seldom does.

I really liked this video! Orbits are hard to visualize but I think the choices here were very good.

I would not call any Apple phone even mid-range, and certainly not low-end? This coming from an android user, that recently bought iphones for my daughters. Paying 600$ for not even top-of-the-line phones does not scream low-end to me.

This is my pet peeve with LLMs, they almost always fails to write like a normal human would. Mentioning logs, or other meta-things which is not at all interesting.

Wow, I had no idea that excalidraw could "import" mermaid!! This is just awesome.. I can have my LLM generate mermaid, which it is really very good at. And then I can edit the diagram!

Oh, esphome is more than only esp32 these days. For one it always worked on the pre-esp32 ESPs. But yeah, RPI2040, nrf52 and a couple of other platforms work too.

I dont know nothing about this particular leak, but I have worked at Skatteverket. Let me just say, the likelihood that CGI would have any _actual_ real personal data is close to 0%, at least on servers outside of Skatteverket. I had access

I would be REALLY REALLY impressed if it manages to do this without bugs. Just using pythons textual can be very complex, belive it or not. Maaging not only to that but other frameworks too sounds insanely complex. I have a strong feeling t

As overseeing backing up, from various optical media to disk, just don't use the optical stuff! This was a huge international conglomerate, doing CD backups for decades. Now it turns out these precious backups only worked 96-98% of the

I as a "developer", I have probably used less than 10% of my time coding the last 15 or so years... I switched jobs to being a contractor in 2011, and after that it has been a downward slope towards less and less coding, and more
