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, th…

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 s…

What if I told you, there is an app on the market https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwCK95X6go

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 t…

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 com…

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.

On 3 billion devices

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 integrate…

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.onlin…

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 o…

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…

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 p…

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". An…

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…

I find the UX for bitbucket pull requests an absolutely awful experience that massively slows down my ability to review code. Does anyone use any alternative tooling for branch rev…

Whilst it is 95% calories in calories out, keto (not low carb, as low carb doesn't include high fat) can be good for muscle retention whilst in a defecit - as more foods that you c…

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 he…

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.
