I've been playing Planet Crafter waaay too much. Check it out if you like Factorio, Satisfactory, etc. It's fun and super addictive. At least to me.

One day soon someone will search online for what to do for a cut and some AI will spit out "Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron..."

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

ChatGPT and github copilot are great tools, but they're like a chainsaw: if you apply them incorrectly or become too casual and careless with them, they will kickback at you and fuck your day up.

Kagi is good. I'm using the unlimited search tier. It's so nice not to have all the cruft in my searches.

Funny this cropped up, I just finished The Left Hand of Darkness two days ago. Very good book with some beautiful prose.

It was the first Le Guin book I've read. I'll be reading more.

Subverb ,

I just finished it two days ago. I agree completely.

I will caution people that because of the writing style the beginning of the book (at least to me) is a bit disorienting. It takes a minute to find her rhythm.

Razer designing and selling a piece of medical equipment is an idea that should never have survived the brainstorming session.

Subverb ,

So owning a fleet of rental cars is being a social parasite and not a job?

Subverb ,

The origin story.

Subverb ,

The salad is named after Caesar Cardini, the man who created it.

Embedded systems developer here. If you're programming on ARM or one of the other big microcontrollers there aren't many well supported options. ARM's official Keil compiler and libraries are C and C++ and I see no official movement to change that.

They have literally decades in building those tools.

Microsoft's multithreaded OS ThreadX is C code. They just bought it for a large undisclosed amount in 2018. It ain't going anywhere soon.

AWS's FreeRTOS is C. Not going anywhere.

Embedded development toolchains are very slow to change.

My Cadillac has a video display as a rear view mirror and it has that issue. With a traditional rear view mirror your focal length doesn't change much, but in my car your focus has to shift to the mirror 2 feet away.

It has upsides though, as passengers or objects in the rear seat don't affect your mirror view.

Whenever I change vehicles it takes a few minutes to readjust.

Having cut my teeth on MS-DOS 3.0 in a 4.77MHz PC with a monochrome monitor, two floppy drives and no hard disk, it was drilled into me early to save, save, save. It's just muscle memory for me now.

Writing a whole paper without saving is unimaginable to me.

Subverb ,

I use mine with AWS.

Use kagi.com. By default it indicates pay walled sites and you can also block whole domains if you choose. Listicles are broken out separately and if you're feeling ambitious Kagi supports regex-based redirects, so you could redirect paywalled domains to a paywall bypass website.

Subverb ,

Understandable. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in.

Subverb ,

Super shitty. I have an antique car and when people want to check it out and take pictures with it they sometimes ask if that's okay. I always say "if I didn't want people to look at it and enjoy it I shouldn't drive it around."

Subverb ,

They're right. Few buy First Class tickets because the uptick in comfort and service from Business Class is tiny for the increase in cost. I fly Business but would never pony up for First.

Subverb ,

Came to say that. Was very common for a long time.

I wish I could pi-hole.

I use NextDNS and it's good for my devices, but Google sponsored links won't work with it. Sometimes I have to turn it off temporarily to get something done.

Also, my wife works from home in social media. I can't really block ads network-wide because she needs to see them.

"Several videos a week".

Twenty-five (25) videos a week. Five a day, four if they work weekends which they likely do. Plus the WAN show and other social media. Their velocity is far too high for accuracy to be a priority. As their own employees said in their video, they wish they had more time. And as Linus himself said, their velocity is so high that the instant they publish a video it has to be forgotten because they have to turn to the next one.
