without paying they are all 20 minutes behind in my experience

Great article. Where I live, on the taller buildings it is common to have banks of elevators which only service certain floors, eg floors 2:25 and 26-50 are two different banks of …

I managed to get a subscription to kimi and have been running kimi-code for the last few hours, having imported my claude-code skills, settings etc into it. I pointed it at a JS an…

8 months ago I got claude to do a perfect reproduction of the arcade asteroids game on a simple prompt and a once through. I then got it to do lunar lander, that was also perfect, …

"If you specify every possible detail in a design doc, you’ve essentially written the implementation during the design phase. That would defeat the whole purpose of a design doc." …

There are more than one set of tuning settings, depending whether optimised for start up, steady state, minimum overshoot etc

Pretty easy to tune really - almost never use derivative, increase the proportional until oscillations occur then halve it, add a little integral, not so much it oscillates.

based on multiple personal experiences, and that of friends/acquaintances, I have no doubt it works for reduction of inflammation of the sort you get spraining you ankle. must be t…

have you tried NULL?

Conflict arises from differing or unmet expectations. So the easiest way to eliminate a lot of issues is clearly agree and define expectations up front. There is a reason a whole b…

AI allows anyone with a minimum amount of intelligence and operational expertise to become an "Expert Beginner" (currently). What can you do with a whole team comprised only of Exp…

this is fucking awesome it is fast, there is no fucking gateway fuckaround or any other similar issues, up and going in seconds straight away I added two skills, that it wrote for …

I am sort of in the same place, it seems to have lost enough of the magic that I might be better trying to do more with running local LLMs on my 4090. The thing is running local LL…

Pdf is all about presentation, not about communication. While the two can be closely aligned, it is not neccesarily the case, if not often misaligned priorities. Many pdfs are hard…

Similar to aviation s marine safety. Both started with a bunch of prescriptive rules that were added to as various accidents and near misses occured. As you say. Then, in the last …

Humans don't really work any better, just fail in different ways. This is why certain workflows and practices have emerged. We are now in the early days of working through a simila…

As most results in coding by AI are the result of some kind of recursive application of the fundemental concept, irony is abundant.

Definately, I am similar vintage and work in Functional Safety, see my other comment re specification.

Yes definately, I do a lot of OT devops and if you want determinstic results then the best use of AI is to get it to write scripts that solve your problems and that you run outside…

The problem isn't the AI writing the code, it is the specification - I assert much of the described problems could be rectified by improved specification with no hand coding. Speci…

Even if not explicitly looking like a state machine, it will have state based behaviour that could be represented by a state machine. Almost everything is state based behaviour.

All the whingers about AI - if it is as bad as you say, then you don't have a problem On the other hand, if it is not, then stop wasting effort arguing against the inevitable and u…

I would suggest that the 1000 line switch statement implies a state machine that has suffered from the "state explosion". This usually results from an inadequate system-subsystem d…

Just wait long enough

As an electrical engineer with more experience than the average age of the readers here, this is a problem that is way, way more complicated than 99.9% of the population have any c…
