Does anyone keep spare filled gas cans for disaster preparation etc? Thinking of prepping some in case I need to drive out into the country etc suddenly

What's the incentive of these weird bots that just reply with a scrambled version of my note?

Was getting so hot in my study, wondering why the aircon hadn't switched on yet. Checked my outside sensor data in HA to see it hadn't updated since around midnight. (it only triggers the cooler if both outdoor and indoor are over 25C temp, because I could open a window). My study is on the 3F with the indoor and outdoor sensors and the RPi is on the 1F. When I first set it up I was surprised it could pick up the BLE advertisements two floors down, but seemed to be working fine. I had actually also prepped an ESP32 on 3F to do the transmission but turned it off when it seemed I didn't need it. Back on it goes! And there comes my aircon! #iot #hvac #homeassistant #hass

This chat made me think about literacy and the future.. will the world's literacy start to go down because the average person will be able to get by with audio interfaces to AI? https://fountain.fm/episode/mRBFoMz8dQq6AEDcSObI

Finally getting to the end of the Spanish #f1 .. * F1 SPOILER * that safety car restart slide from Max was mad - he's super human for catching that.

The old "I'm waiting for my code to compile" is now "I'm waiting for the AI to make all the changes"

coding with AI is great. I get to architect the overall design and some implementation details and the AI does the dirty work. AND it can provide some opinions or improvements. It is exactly like working with someone else on a team, except that we can realize and iterate on the implementation in seconds/minutes.

I love Michael Crichton but haven't read JP! I Really enjoyed his Timeline book. Also eat better than the movie which only came out after i had read the book.

If a non custodial money transmitter is responsible for a few of their users using it for criminal purposes, that same ruling should surely apply to mobile phone service providers when users make calls or send each other messages for criminal purooses, or to ISPs if any of their users do criminal activities using their internet service. Why is it just money? What about ATMs or banks that give money to people who then do crime? It sets such a ridiculous precedent

Pizza meetup on pizza day was gooooood

This was so good. Hearing this kind of humor in a podcast was so refreshing. Loving freedom tech for this. Just sad I'm probably too late to have Gigi inside of me

I actually switched to Knots this week. And only just noticed this debate was posted. Need to watch tomorrow. #bitcoin

I remember as a young kid in the 90s, having a book called something like “how computers work” and reason it diligently, learning so much. I remember learning SI prefixes from Terra down to Pico. Giga- (bytes etc) was hardly even a thing then. I remember having a 1.99GiB hdd and like 32MiB of RAM or something. And I think that was my upgraded pc - don’t think I knew the specs of my first PC. Also, I think it was like a pentium II 166MHz (or 366?) processor… Amazing how many orders of magnitude processing power and storage have grown in the last 30~ years that felt like a blink of an eye. Life is fast

I am a huge Lion King fan. Along with The Matrix, it is my top ranked movie and other movie I can recite most of the lines to. Watched both so many times as a kid. I just watched “Mufasa: The Lion King”… damn. It was good. I loved how much they tied back to the original movie.

Finally season 5 of You is available on Netflix for me. Cannot wait to start. Not sure what it says about me that it’s one of my favorite series … hahaha

Claude Sonnet 3.7 is way better than GPT-4o-mini (as a coding assistant). I'd been using Claude up until now but wanted to try GPT-4o-mini for a bit. It kept getting context wrong, like caching old versions of files and wasn't able to update. I know 4o-mini is a smaller faster model so maybe not a good comparison, but just a note to myself.

Right now AI writes code that follows our human made design patterns and principles for clean code etc. I wonder if these will become irrelevant as there will be more optimal solutions and as humans do less of the coding, readability/maintainability because less of a requirement. Still a far way out for sure - especially since we still have to verify and fix a lot - but.. not that far.

I’m really enjoying AI at work. When I’m code reviewing or refactoring other people’s code and I can just smell something is offensive to some design principles but I can’t put my finger on which ones, I just explain my concerns to AI and it validates me and tells me the name of the principles being violated hahaha. I love refactoring dirty code
