I could not agree more. AI is Great for Juniors to quickly have something Running and it definitely lowers the barrier of entry, which is fantastic! A colleague of mine told me his son made a PH meter for them and how impressed he was that he could code for a microcontroller. It turned out that he used chatGPT to write the code and couldn’t figure it out once it stopped working for some reason. I still believe this is a great opportunity to really learn and broaden his horizons by troubleshooting and truly getting to understand the system this way. If I was young and couldn’t code I’d use the AI tools in a heartbeat, but making low impact code is entirely different from architecting and writing mission critical code. Very well written article.

Neat! Maybe I can motivate myself now to get started with blender. I would really love an open source 3D Modelling tool.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer.

Doesn’t like everyone and their cat have herpes?

People using smart glasses with outward facing cameras can go kick rocks. Truly the second generation of glassholes.

At some stage this would have been inevitable. And it will only get worse in the future.

I think it will be better once the percentage of AI Slop reaches a level where the models are trained more and more on their own output. The effects of incest will then be visible and people will hopefully start thinking for themselves again.

I canceled as soon as I read about it. Have been a premium user since it was available in my country. Didn’t know about the shady shit…

I can’t wait for the time when AI goes the way of the blockchain.

Active ISA would be a disaster. My fairly modern car is unable to reliably detect posted or implied speed limits. Sometimes it overshoots by more than double and sometimes it mandates more than 3/4 slower. The problem is the way it is and will have to be done is by means of optical detection. GPS speed measurement can also be surprisingly unreliable. Especially in underground settings like long pass-unders and tunnels.

If the system would be based on something reliable like local wireless communications between speed limit postings it would be a different issue - would also come with a significant risc of abuse though.

Also the passive ISA was the first thing I disabled. And I abide by posted speed limits.

I like automatics but I have driven manuals all my life and I prefer them especially in the winter when encountering icy roads. And I like overtaking with manuals more because I have control over the rev range and torque. If I were to live in a mild climate with lots of wide multi lane roads I’d get an auto for sure.

Use the handbrake. At least that’s how I learned it. Back when the handbrake was a lever connected by a steel cable to the break pads. Man I’m old.

You guys use editors? Real programmers only need a mechanical hard drive, a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

The problem lies with the way the “modern” internet works by loading everything dynamically. Static pages to index are becoming more rare. Also a lot of information is being “lost” in proprietary systems like discord. Those also can’t be indexed (easily)

I added my answers. Good luck on your thesis!

Joke’s on you, I always use 64 bit wide unsigned integers to store a 1 and compare to check for value.

Wasn’t there an article a couple of days ago that they were giving up on going for-profit and will remain non-profit?

Microsoft built their HQ in Munich as part of the “deal” as far as I remember. Something along those lines. The secret ingredient is corruption.
