Yep, nailed me exactly. Leaving unused subscription percentage is getting rarer, however. I am about to bump up my plan, which is starting to feel like a drug addict's tolerance.

As a counterpoint, continuing the human engineer analogy, we've likely all worked with individuals that seem incapable of doing the most basic problem solving on their own. In a way, they're being efficient by asking an expert tha

If anything, this report actually made me feel a bit better about AI-led job extinction not being that close. The sheer complexity of the swarm's actions required AI to parse and aggregate, but even with the METR team effectively havin

The key seems to be extensive integration/end-to-end tests with gold standard assertion data. Heck, even just saving off the json from API endpoints and using that as a reference to compare after changes works pretty well. Spin up a da

Windows has also come a long way from a terminal perspective. Sure, the UI is a bit of a mess, but Powershell can do anything in the UI from the command line, and agents are very capable with PoSH. If you really care about ricing the UI, th

You also need an EPA 608 Type 2 license, though minisplits have been skirting around that for some time. Easy to test for, though I'm not sure if you can do it for free like skillcat used to offer.

Experienced servers will usually try to 'feel out' a table to understand if they are in a rush, demanding, want to converse, etc. The same behavior that feels rude when you're catching up with old friends is often welcomed by

My hand is raised. I like having 8GB of music on an old (USB2 is fine) flash drive in my car as a fallback. On longer trips I'll hookup the Android Auto, but if I don't need maps and it's a quick ride, shuffle & repeat al

They can push pretty hard. Even this law student, who knows the game, is almost worn down by these officers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c3t--Glqs2o&t=1163s&pp=ygUdTGF...

Not OP, but for me, the lack of essentially any type system in SQLite makes it a total no-go for storing data long-term or that more than one application needs to access. Date/time being an especially painful footgun in SQLite. I view

The figures down 80 scrolls towards the bottom is what bothered me also. Most of the time with studies, the figures are where you should go first. It's not uncommon to find cases where the text makes claims that the numbers don't

This is true. They (the auditors) usually have guidance or areas they need to see policy address, but not specific implementation details. Using common, overbearing MDM or endpoint tools make providing evidence of adherence to policies eas

Walmart typically carries a large selection of supplements from the 'Nature Made' brand (yellow label), which tests/certifies most of their products through the independent 'U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)'. While that may

On mobile (similar on Desktop), just go to Setting -> Shields and Privacy -> Content Filters. In there are a bunch of Youtube related blockers (including Shorts), that I find work really well. Mobile Brave also lets you lock/scre

I was thinking the same thing. I switched from Mikrotik to OWRT because I wanted actual Linux, not a nerfed version of it that made scripting miserable.

by briHass 2mo ago
I would expect LLMs to be especially excellent at configuring Mikrotik stuff, given MT publishes markdown reference docs for LLM ingestion, the full config without secrets can be dumped to one text file, and their cli commands are very stab

I won't comment on the others you mentioned, but Musk has probably done more for reducing CO2 emissions than any other human on the planet by popularizing electric vehicles and making them 'cool'. These are the types of solut

Yep, and that's anywhere from about $1.30 to $3 something in the really expensive states for electric rates in the US. Half that if you only count the delta between that and a low power device. Spending hundreds on new hw to save $20 a

Enough for a drone strike on a single target? It could be fairly crude and still effective, if accurate.

Many modern ones have a door open sensor that allows for the dishwasher to display that dishes are clean after a cycle until the door is opened and fully closed again. That doesn't help, however, if users are lazy and don't unload

Bitlocker can use keys that are local only, but the default for home editions of Windows was to use the online account to back it up. 'Happily' is also a stretch, as they really don't have a choice if served a valid court ord

An old PC ATX power supply is great for most things that use 5/12V. You get the 2 most common voltages for network gear, with plenty of capacity and efficiency (with a decent PSU.) You do have to solder, though I wouldn't be surpr

It's the other way around, unfortunately. The senior engineers will still be useful for architecture and infrastructure considerations, as well as guiding the agents. It's the junior engineers that get nailed, because there's

GitHub Copilot was the only one with absolutely insane subsidies, where they metered by 'request' instead of tokens. A request that costs 3 cents could end up burning $20 worth of tokens or more. That ends this month. I was actual

by briHass 5mo ago
If their pricing turns out to be what they claim, and copilot cli has accurate token counts, they had the best deal around. Just today, when I wasn't being especially chatty with GHCP, I used about 12 requests to get a few thousand lin

I'm more optimistic about LLMs tracking down and fixing issues in software, even without SO/forum posts, at least for OSS. I've seen enough unique insights from agents on tricky problems to know it wasn't extrapolating f

Have you tried the Import plugin in Obsidian? I used it the other day, and it seemed to do a good job with OneNote, though my ON notebooks are just simple text and images. I believe it automates an export from ON to HTML and then converts

Nonsense. WinGet has the ability to add repositories, just like any other package manager. If you want the 'approved' packages for the distro, that would be the msstore repository. If you want to use the 'community feed'

Disagree entirely. GHCP at least is transparent about the pricing: hit enter on a prompt= one request. CC/Codex use some opaque quota scheme, where you never really know if a request will be 1,2,10% of your hourly max, let alone weekly

Windows has great support, surprisingly, for TPM-backed sk keys using Windows Hello and OpenSSH. Protected with physical presence and anti-hammering at the hardware level, and easy to setup by just selecting a sk type key. I only use passwo
