My biggest worry isn't that it will make me dumb (it won't), or that it will make me lazy (it will), but that people raised with it wont learn things in the first place. I'm split on if this is a real issue or an old man rants about slide rules and the decline of mental math kinda situation.
Same for my s24, 80% battery limit and slow charging at night (most of my charging). It's been over 2 years and the battery seems to last just as long as day one
You mean you aren't still using Google Duo and Allo? Google Reader? Playing games on your Stadia? I'd be worried about really locking into a specific Anthropic product at this point other than Claude Code
This is why I use Claude Code though, it pairs well with a regular old text editor (in my case Sublime). I've always had an editor and a terminal open, plugging an AI into my terminal has been a fantastic enhancement to my work without really anything else changing or giving up any control.
That's what you should be doing. Start from plain Claude, then add on to it for your specific use cases where needed. Skills are fantastic if used this way. The problem is people adding hundreds or thousands of skills that they download and will never use, but just bloat the entire system and drown out a useful system.
Nothing prevents that, and the test lab wouldn't bat an eye at that. For all they know or care, you wanted to run different test on different cells. The only thing the lab is verifying is that the defined test was executed as stated, nothing else.
When I was in university, I had a math teacher that brought extra chalk to class everyday because if he saw you on your phone, he'd snap a piece off and throw it at you pretty damn hard. Maybe that wouldn't exactly work in a high school but damn if Dr Murphy didn't have me paying attention in that class.
Also in 1950 the population of the US was 151 million, today it's 341 million. it has more than doubled, and the amount of space has stayed the same. More people competing for the same amount of property will always lead to inflated housing costs beyond what inflation would predict.
NotebookLLM. Load in technical manuals and datasheets, then ask it questions and check the parts it references instead of searching tens of thousands of pages across dozens of diferrent documents. It's the most useful AI tool I've tried so far for embedded work.
Thank you for doing what you do! I'm sure it isn't easy keeping this place healthy and thriving, but me and so many others really appreciate the blood, sweat and probably a few literal tears it takes :)
I rarely hit the brake pedal in my car at all with one pedal driving. In fact I'd say 80% of drives I don't hit it at all, and the rest i might use it once or twice. I'm sure I'd still hit the brake in an emergency since it's so ingrained in me from driving normal cars for so long, but I'm not sure how long that will be true for, especially for new younger drivers that have really only driven EVs.
In a later tweet, he even mentions there were 6 other people and they built on top of existing work. Doesn't really sound like he's within a mile of solely creating anything, no matter what spin he likes to apply.
For lots of modern cars, the users phone is a key, and the car itself is connected, so you could also theoretically share and compare gps location during the unlock attempt.
Wow people are not liking this for some reason. This way of thinking about selling your labour in a market is exactly why it's called the labour market. People selling labour need to understand how the market works in order to participate in the most advantageous way for their own situationq. Nothing said here detracts from the fact that the calculus of how you go about this changes with your priorities, for example having children might lower your risk tolerance when deciding where to sell your labour, so maybe the 'company of one' way of naming it doesn't fit, but the concept is solid. It isn't meant to gut you of your humanity, just provide a thought framework to make sure you are competing in the market fairly.
That already happens with Bandcamp. If the artist removes a song/album, you have no way of downloading it again even if you've purchased it. You only get a license to download the music while it's still available on the website. I've lost a few tracks/albums this way, thankfully I had local copies already.
Their business model is theft by another name, however they can manage to swing it. When they get caught, pivot and steal content for profit a different way. Repeat.
By replacing ads on websites with their own, and url hijacking for referral profits. They are not a good service, they're content thieves with a mask on.
I think it's one thing to strip out content or ads, but an entirely different beast to replace ads with your own. There are arguments for blocking ads, both ethical and security based. But replacing the ads with your own is basically the same as stealing the content for your own profit. Brave is a shitty company with no moral leg to stand on.
It can recover fast, but it will take a long time to recover fully. Even if the next administration is more...sane and stable, when you go back to the negotiating table around the world the other parties will be wary of future US administrations that are as bad or worse than Trump's. Why trust your word on things, why even trust any new legally binding international obligations, when they may just get trampled in the next few years? I think this will be lessened if Trump only has a single term ("oh, they recognized the mistake and corrected") vs a second term ("oh no, there is wide spread support for his behaviour and future administrations can tap into that sentiment to gain power") will dictate how America is viewed by other governments and who is willing to still play ball instead of starting a new game without you.
I don't know very much and can't speak to it's legality, but I do know Canada (at least Ontario) has very strong tenant protections, and the law tends to land on the side of the tenants instead of the landlords. I wouldn't be surprised if this was either illegal or if tenants could take the landlord to court if they though they were passed over because of this.
It's literally taking other people's content, putting their own ads on it, and paying you fake money for the privalege. If I create content, I should be allowed to charge for it. I'm okay with people not wanting to pay or being worried about their security and disabling those ads. I am 1000% not okay with them stealing content to run their own ads. I don't want their fake money, they are essentially running a scam. They may as well just rehost other people's articles and videos with their own ads and skip the whole browser thing entirely, same scam different name.
I don't care that a tonne bat shit has real monetary value. I don't want it. It's not legal tender, I'm not willing to accept it. I don't care that their fake internet tokens have monetary value. I don't want them. Brave is stealing from people and paying them in shit.
You can also go-out-for-a-beer and not order an alcoholic drink. I've never met anyone who had a problem with someone for ordering a soda, especially if you say you don't drink. Go-out-for-a-beer can be any social event just to see if you'll get along with a team easily, or if it will be too much of a culture difference.
Where I work, when we interview someone on-site the team they'll be working with takes the person out for lunch somewhere and spends an hour or two getting to know them.
All times where a Boolean value would be assigned, it must be explicitly checked and then set to either TRUE or FALSE.
The reason is for writing embedded code that doesn't depend on a specific compiler or architecture, which is important when code that was written in the 80s is still getting used everyday in new safety critical systems, where any kind of standard libraries are forbidden.
I agree it's not the best but it's definitely not uncommon.
Certain industries also have guidelines that chime in on this issue. Where I work, we have to create defines for TRUE and FALSE, and everything needs to be compared to them. Essentially making things look like
if (bool_name == TRUE)
There is no ambiguity, and it forces you to handle exactly equal to 1 and not equal to zero separately.
if (bool_name == TRUE)
and
if (bit_field_value > 0)
are logically different even if they can be simplified to the same thing.
