Why are the cars so big? Wouldn't it make sense to have a bunch of much smaller, single person vehicles?

How long ago did you use the tooling? I've seen this take a lot, and I can understand it if you're looking at the output of Sonnet 3.5 copy and pasted. But models like Opus 4.8, that just is not the case. Sure, you can't just

Yeah bro like why would you just build what you want to your vision? Other people don't want that! Other people know what they want, just build what they want!

I disagree, this read very non-AI prose to me. No "its not x - it's y", or em dashes etc.

We had this at my old work, except it wasn't a display, it was a circular piece of paper with "clean" on one side and "dirty" on the other. When it was done, you rotate the paper so it was clean side up. Should we h

The problem with this is the reason LLMs are so good at writing Python/Java/JavaScript is that they've been trained on a metric ton of code in those languages, have seen the good the bad and the ugly and been tuned to the goo

I worked very hard for the first 5 or 6 years of my career - hit senior dev pretty quick, managed to double my pay moving into consultancy, and back on product dev in a smaller company nowadays. Honestly? I don't feel a massive need to

I, as an experienced engineer, am not afraid of the power of AI to take my job. I'm afraid of midwits who think it can, that hold the purse strings.

I run my Jellyfin on a Pi 5 8GB (with a bunch of other homelab stuff) and run an OSMC (Kodi + Jellyfin plugin) on a Pi 3b 2GB with absolutely no issue. OSMC automatically integrates with my TV remote, runs very low power and smooth. I never

I met a dude at a Rust meetup a few months ago who was creating an infinite, multiplayer minesweeper game in Rust/WASM you might also find interesting! http://infinitesweeper.online

It definitely is cultural, but I've never viewed it from the perspective of getting straight to business being rude. A bit like in the UK, "weather chat" is a very standard point of conversation at the start of a meeting with

This can be a cultural thing, at least in my experience. Particularly with Indian and African colleagues, it seems to be ubiquitous amongst them.

If there were a recommendation algorithm plugin for Jellyfin (even if it just calls out to the API of some existing external web service), that might pull me over. Until that's the case, the recommendations will keep me on Spotify

10k words was the word count for my 3rd year undergraduate dissertation in the UK. Typically, this is tirelessly worked on over months. The quality of this far exceeds anything I produced during that time and anything I saw from my peers.

What do you mean group series together? If you mean seasons of a show, yes it does. If you mean collections, it has them.

I can run this via Kodi's jellyfin plugin, via OSMC on a raspberry pi, on my living room TV. It automatically uses my tv remote, and says in big letters "TV Shows" and "Movies". Anyone at my house can use it, with e

That'd be a very hard argument in a corporate environment, when we already pay for the Atlassian stack. Jira and Confluence are already so embedded, I've barked up that tree before, it wouldn't go anywhere for a long time eve

You sorta answered your own question there - it's largely, if not wholly, about your childhood experience, what validated you etc. Gonna sound very projectionist and therapising here - but I'd say with a 70-80% probability that op

And this is in a culture where busy work is rampant anyway. You can be sat in the office 12 hours a day doing nothing, so long as you are there and seen to be working.

Bare metal virtual machines? Do you mean a virtual machine on bare metal? In which case, it's just a vm - all VMs on some level live on bare metal. You're on the right track with Ansible - I'd suggest just buying a raspberry
