This is insane. Absolute power tripping. And I say that being in favor of banning AI throughout the course.

When I had my house in Belgium we had ours just before that change. Our meter (analogue) rolled back.

I know they were phasing that out, but I don't remember if it was phased out for everybody, even the ones grandfathered in?

I have no clue what's going on, but I currently see a total cost of $32**.**, even though I have usage credits off.

Am I looking at somebody else's usage?

On the footnote:

> [1] Other languages - like Go or Python - have a runtime check that raises some sort of exception or panic when lst[0] is accessed on an empty list or slice.

Rust has the same thing. Accessing a `Vec` by index goes via the index trait: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Index.html#tymethod....

Vec implements Index here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d080e7dff1b0fc5454154...

Vec's Index defers to slice's: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d080e7dff1b0fc5454154...

Slice defers to... intrinsics: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d080e7dff1b0fc5454154...

Which injects a bounds check: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d080e7dff1b0fc5454154...

The bounds check: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d080e7dff1b0fc5454154...

So I'd say the footnote is not correct.

Disagree. Unwrap works, but it's on the other side of the signature. It would be nice if we could put it all in the callee.

Risky copy-paste of the day.

I live in Phoenix. Very well adjusted to the temperature here. You sweat more. It was 75 yesterday, walked outside, started to shiver. Weird.

Apple says you can opt out of this collection by appending _nomap to the SSID:

> The owner of a Wi-Fi access point can opt it out of Apple's Location Services by changing the access point's SSID (name) to end with "_nomap." For example, "Access_Point" would be changed to "Access_Point_nomap."

Optimization? The new Rivian merged a bunch of ECUs together, cutting lots of wires, but how the fallout of a failed ECU is much larger.

Can't get lane assist with hydraulic. That's why. I miss the hydraulic steering from the E93 M3.

Not at all. % on cars in the US is derived from your credit score. Low credit score? You pay, and you pay a LOT.

Of course a dealership could offer low rates, but those are usually through the financing arm of the brand, not the dealership itself.

Counterpoint to this: I'm 37, premature wear on the hips. Saw 14 doctors before one took me seriously. 2 others wanted to do repair (labral tear repair, after 2 failures), one wanted to do big repair (PAO).

Eventually found a doctor at Mayo who looked at the x-rays differently. He replaced my hips and life is 100x better.

Unsure why you're downvoted:

Sometimes you get coupons mailed on your behavior. There is a story out there that Target has(had?) a pregnancy prediction score, and acted on that to send you coupons: https://verdict.justia.com/2012/02/28/should-target-tell-you...

The E in MBA stands for experience.

This issue exists everywhere in the USA.

Go check the price for a movie ticket. At the end they slap on an additional fee. Why can't they show the fee included in the main price?

I went to the Verde Canyon Railroad, when gas prices were really low. Still a fee for higher gas prices on the receipt...

Disagree. At least back in the day there weren't endless comments about how this widget is load-bearing, and how honestly the other widget carries the derived widget, referencing decision ADR-100 that is nowhere to be found. All these comments matter because once accepted as part of the codebase the next LLM takes these comments as canonical.

The largest problem these days is the volume of code developers are expected to review. The volume went up significantly.

Same flow as translating from your native tongue to a foreign language.

Going from foreign to native is easier than native to foreign. The latter requires completely different brain paths and a lot more understanding of the language to actually get to something correct.

The value of AI is built on top of the idea that it can erase the cost of labor in a wide range of professions.

They're all racing for this, hoping to make money first, because once that erasure really sets in, there is no-one out there to buy products anymore, which means all those companies who replaced human labor by AI don't have anybody to sell their products to anymore.

And once that happens who is going to be needing all of these tokens?

In the US that's annoying, sometimes they show price per oz, other times price per lbs.

I have a passkey on CVS, but that YubiKey was eaten by the sewer.

Thankfully I can still log-in with a password & text. But how to reset the passkey? No-one knows.

Edit: I take that back, for some reason they stopped taking the password I used when setting up the account. It's only email or SMS with code verification + birth-date.

I get a lot of these messages via LinkedIn. They say I'm a good candidate for a job, write something, and tell me if I'm interested to apply via <link>. If a recruiter wants a cut, I expect them to work for it. Me filling out a form isn't that.

Unsure if they are real recruiters, or bots. Most of the ones contacted me were based in either Nigeria or Pakistan.

I had issues with the Siri Beta. I would ask it to open the garage door, and often it just... failed.

Un-enrolling from the beta fixed it.

Quite annoying that you need to get the top plan for 5 cameras, and you cannot get more.

I like tinkering with this stuff, everything around me is a perpetual lab, so I have more than 5 cameras that I'd like to hook up to this. But I REALLY don't NEED or WANT 12TB or storage.

I want all of these integrations to be possible locally, without having to send my data to the cloud.

But I cannot. A lot of these nice integrations aren't offered for fully-local setups.

I wonder if this will change how often people in the USA change their oil.

Comparing BMWs (which are worldwide cars), the oil change intervals in Europe are literally 2x what they are in the USA.

E.g. my previous 2019 M240i (B58 i6):

Europe: every 30,000km or 2 years, whatever comes first.

USA: every 15,000km (~9,000 miles) or 1 year, whatever comes first.

I get that fuel is dirtier in the USA. I get that engines work harder in the USA because of the heat, but a 2x reduction in lifetime?

And this is applicable to ALL the BMWs I've seen.

My BMW M8 with the S63TU4 4.4L V8 takes 10 liters.

Previous one one which had a B58 took 7 liters.

In Belgium it was until 1977 that you could buy the license.

> A natural evolution of engineers losing touch with the customers and users.

I disagree. I think this happens as soon as the MBAs come on board, where everything becomes a metric, and you work towards OKRs.

You probably don't pay for a copy or move there as well.

You probably don't pay for a copy or move there either.

(I'm Flemish and made that mistake before).
