My best is 980W - for 1 second
I’m a leftie and I don’t think I learnt it. My mother said as a very young child she noticed I’d mainly used my left hand to take things - probably food :) These days the only real problem for me is scissors, especially…
I’m a leftie from a 50% leftie family. Apparently I showed my left handedness as a baby when grasping for things and hardly used my right hand. My mother was also a leftie, but in her generation she was forced to write…
I think this was also a “look what we can do at short notice” kind of exercise. Just in case a country was thinking of maybe trying to take over another set of islands in the south Atlantic
Why use any high level language at all if AI is writing the software. The high level languages seem mostly about humans not being able to handle complexity. Not an issue for an automated bot.
It seems to be perfectly happy to run on virtual box with a Debian install. The host pc is running a local model. I’m quite impressed with what it’s capable of.
I’ve got the solar version. It runs a long time between charges. Maybe I haven’t done enough tracked exercise recently
I used to think photography was an expensive hobby until my wife got back into the horse world.
Im definitely going to build some small tools when I need them. One tool I use occasionally, but not so often I want to subscribe is Insomnia.
I retired from paid sw dev work in 2020 when COVID arrived. I’ve worked on my small projects since with all development by hand. I’d followed the rise of AI, but not used it. Late last year I started a project that…
“ The process of getting a binary onto the board is just dragging a file, and on linux at least you can script it with picotool” Even easier if you setup debugging using another pico, debug probe or even a Pi (not sure…
I’ve tried 2 AI tools recently. Neither could produce the correct code to calculate the CPU temperature on a Raspberry Pi RP2040. The code worked, looked ok and even produced reasonable looking results - until I put a…
I just checked. The code it gave me, though syntactically correct, was wrong functionally. The rp2040 temp reading increases and the ADC value decreases. ChatGPT didn’t invert the values.
37 is young. Trust me, in a few weeks I’ll be 60. My whole life I’ve known I was an engineer. However, for a great chunk of the early years I couldn’t express that and did really badly at school. I just learnt at my own…
I’ve now retired from professional programming and I’m now in hobby mode. I learn nothing from reading AI generated code. I might as well read the stack overflow questions myself and learn.
The code looked fine. And I don’t think my finger is colder than the chip - I’m not the iceman. The error is the analog value read by the ADC gets lower as the temperature rises.
I tried code gen for the first time recently. The generated code look great, was commented and ran perfectly. The results were completely wrong. The code was to calculate the cpu temperature from the Raspberry Pi RP2350…
30 odd years ago, part of my role was to colour balance cameras in a studio environment. We didn’t need computers - but at most there were only 5 cameras :)
Unless it reaches escape velocity (ie its never coming back) then it will always comeback to where it started from. The object is under the same gravitaional influences as the Earth As others have pointed out, there is…
I think Newton is on the phone... Once the accelerating force is removed the object will go into an orbit that includes the point at which the force stops. This however is Earth
From my experience on the Raspberry Pi rp2040, adding C code to a micropython build is very straightforward
You think you're old? I was part of the team at the other end of that stack building and debugging the Java runtime for the Nokia Symbian phones :)
I ported a Psion phone manager app (contacts & sms) to PalmOS. I can clearly remember the thrill of sending a message via the Bluetooth add on via a Nokia 6310i
I know very little about horses, but find myself surrounded by them thanks to my wife’s interests. We have a horse who is quiet natured and well behaved. But, the fight or flight instinct wakes up very quickly and he’s…
25 years ago I did the same thing with MS flightsim as an interesting project. I took a similar approach except I was using Java. I got as far as being able to navigate to lat/long fixes. Learnt quite a bit in the…
