My ISP in a small rural town supported IPv6. I have a few personal projects that only have a public v6 address because I don't want to pay AWS for an v4 address. It worked fine for a year and a half after I moved in,…
Doesn't the CO2 get exhaled during activity rather than sleep?
I worked for about 8 months on an internal product for doing transmission studies at a large utility company. Basically, it would feed a PSS/E [1] file specifying most of the transmission grid into a power flow…
The first job I had as a software engineer was at a trucking company that had a desktop Swing application. If an exception happened, the user would get a pop-up with buttons to email support the stack trace or cancel.…
I was wondering what kind of bird was chirping outside my window this morning. I should have had this app.
Nice site, slick. Not sure what use the data has to me, but I don't make posts, so that's my fault. It would be nice if the chart would move down or something when you select a post that's lower in the rankings. I had…
I wasn't criticizing the choice of word, apologies. I'm interested if anyone has an idea of what it would mean for an AI to generate or do something "novel" in the sense of creatively new.
Are there any well-thought treatises on what "novel" means?
I wish I had followed this advice when I was first a tech lead a few years ago. I wasn't a manager per say, but I had two junior engineers. We had way too much to do in too little time. I explained how the PM had messed…
Not a fan of asking for an email after uploading. I didn't get the report emailed to me (yet? maybe because I censored my personal details?). Just a popup asking to subscribe. I doubt there's anyway to save more than…
I don't feel much inspired by the metaphor of garbage collection and AI. Garbage collection makes thinking about memory irrelevant 99% of the time. Time saved with AI is spent figuring out what the AI did. The garbage…
Yea. Watch a sci-fi film - nifty gadgets, robots taking care of chores, and widespread spaceflight. Real life is some unreliable chat bots. Then there's the depressing practical stuff. AI being forced down our throats.…
I got a new phone in January, a Pixel 8a, after my previous phone's touch screen died. I never had issues with my old phone playing music. When I played music over Bluetooth, the new phone would bug out after a few…
I didn't make the original analogy. I was just explaining part of the point. I disagree with the number 100. It is not a reasonable number with respect to current AI capabilities. If the cost of digging ditches goes…
It's a metaphor.
If 1 person can use an excavator/AI, then a 100 person crew can use 100 excavators/AIs. Capabilities have increased for everyone, not just for 1 man operations.
Hah, I was just going to go back to these after I had issues with the Shadowmarch series by Tad Williams and The Wizard Knight series by Gene Wolfe. I had figured out that the books are on the authors' page even though…
Makes sense. Is there a reason Pandemic (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/710698.Pandemic) and The Rift (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/271167.The_Rift) aren't in Kaguya?
I think most n/x rating systems are extremely weak and the level of detail is irrelevant. Averaging leads to a soup where nearly everything that isn't objectively awful falls in 60-80% rating. There's no signal to…

I'm disappointed I couldn't mouse over the grid to find my PIN and see how popular it is...
Vanguard says it's more of a speculation than an investment. Vanguard isn't saying speculation is bad entirely. Stocks are ownership of a tiny part of a company that has assets, cash flow, and does something in the…
My only work experience with gRPC was on a project where another senior dev pushed for it because we "needed the performance". We ended up creating a JSON API anyways. Mostly because that's what the frontend could…
