One is a boss's view, looking for an AI to replace his employees someday. I think that is a dead end. It is just getting better to become a sophisticate, increasingly impressive but won't work.

One is the worker's view, looking at AI to be a powerful tool that can leverage one's productivity. I think that is looking promising.

I don't really care for the chat bot to give me accurate sources. I care about an AI that can provide likely places to look for sources and I'll build the tool chain to lookup and verify the sources.

I know a few civil engineers and have been surprised at how many similarities that work has to software engineering. Some of the poor practices that people gripe about in tech are similar in that world, and the same goes for many good practices.
The same leadership that at the start of the sanctions regime claimed Russia's economy was about to collapse is still in power, mostly uncontested.

European legal systems have a huge obstacle to fracking that the US doesn't: mineral rights are almost always severed from property rights in every European country. In the majority of the USA, if you own your home you own the oil one-point-four miles underneath it and can get royalties.

In almost every part of Europe, you don't have any right to subsurface assets and have to eat the rare (but significant when they do occur) groundwater and seismic harms without recompense. The legal systems incentivise rational people to adopt NIMBYism.

What tho is the actual cost? Are AI tools still loss leaders? What will happen if the AI bubble bursts and there is a severe shortage of software engineers? It is this uncertainty that people are having to deal with now.
I can find no mention of a TPMS requirement in my state. My older car has a malfunction in its TPMS and has for 10+ years. The repair cost I was quoted was ridiculous and I just periodically check the tire pressure with a normal gauge.

This vehicle has passed all required inspections for that entire time and the TPMS system hasn't even been mentioned in that context.

edit: I found the claim that TPMS was required interesting and a quick web search shows that 13 states in the US don't require vehicle safety inspections AT ALL.

I'm NDA'ed on the specifics, sorry.

In general terms, we had to call the OpenAI API X00,000,000 times for a large-scale data processing task. We ended up with about 2,000,000 records in a database, using data created, classified, and cleaned by the AI.

There were multiple steps involved, so each individual record was the result of many round trips between the AI and the server, and not all calls are 1-to-1 with a record.

None of this is rocket science, and I think any average developer could pull off a similar task given enough time...but I was the only developer involved in the process.

The end product is being sold to companies who benefit from the data we produced, hence "value for me and the team."

The real point is that generative AI can, under the right circumstances, create absurd amounts of "productivity" that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Wi-Fi Aware is completely new to me and didn't come up while searching on the topic at all. I can't find anything about using it on Linux now either. Anybody have any references on its support?

There's a single kernel commit referencing Wi-Fi Aware from 2023 [0].

No wonder, seeing how conservative and right-leaning parties are doing everything in their power to delay renewables wherever they can. In Germany new power distribution infrastructure keeps being delayed despite desperate need (at times most wind turbines and solar farms are shut down remotely because the power cannot be transported to consumers) and they managed to slow down deployment of heat pumps to bring down gas usage used for heating.

Recent estimates reckon that last years conservative campaign against heat pumps led to a rocking 24 billion € extra spending on gas (https://www.focus.de/earth/energie/auf-kosten-der-verbrauche...)
Yeah, I wonder how much tooling their is around the existing app and api's. I remember being on this team managing users in this kinda archaic way using scripts, but the scripts we're really effective, so someone came in and rewrote the whole thing to use LDAP, and like sure it was technically the right choice, but it added like 6 hours per week of overhead because the tooling wasn't there, and, there were no real described tangible benefits other than "lol, bash scripts"

Kids are more like lawyers than philosophers. They will argue the letter of the law and cite precedent if it is to their advantage, but avoid mentioning it if it's against them.

> it actually make sense to want the kid to go to sleep sooner then adults

Yes, but it isn't enough if you know that, the child has to know that, and actually agree with the reasons. If the reason is "young people need more sleep, you will be so tired tomorrow" you can make the child see that reason (let them stay up once, show the consequences, hope it doesn't backfire). You still get push back, but not for it being unfair. If the reason is that the parents want time for themselves then the child is right that it's unfair, and the better solution would be "alone time for everyone. You in your room, we in the living room, internet shuts off at 9". Similarly "we eat dinner together" is a fair rule as long as everyone is held to the same standard. You still get push back, but a fair rule is much easier to enforce than an unfair one.

We Need a Class Action Lawsuit Against AI Companies
I'm losing count of the number of posts I'm reading by organizations with open websites, small projects, and individual developers maintaining side projects about the harm AI company's crawlers are causing.

They are not respecting `robots.txt` and it's costing maintainers of open sites an enormous amount of time and money: time trying to keep their sites up and money for server bandwidth and compute.

We need someone to begin a class action lawsuit against the AI companies to try to force them to respect `robots.txt` and to pay damages to compensate organizations and developers for all the time, bandwidth, and compute they are stealing.

Honestly, `robots.txt` should be enough to hold them accountable, but if it's not legally enough, then adding an item to Terms of Service explicitly denying usage for AI crawling ought to hold up in court.

Logging the IP of every request and tracking additional bandwidth and compute because of them should provide all the evidence needed.

We shouldn't _have_ to do this. But here we are. Are there any orgs that have been harmed who have the resources to form a coalition and take this on?
Eh? You can have as many intrinsic motivations as you like. You just copy the procedure from the original brain.

I started writing python professionally a few years ago. Coming from Kotlin and TypeScript, I found the language approachable but I was struggling to build things in an idiomatic fashion that achieved the loose coupling and testability that I was used to. I bought this book after a colleague recommended it and read it cover to cover. It really helped me get my head around ways to manage complexity in non trivial Python codebases. I don’t follow every pattern it recommends, but it opened my eyes to what’s possible and how to apply my experience in other paradigms to Python without it becoming “Java guy does Python”.

I cannot recommend it enough. Worth every penny.
Probably because the applications of the technology are things like automating calls for collections agencies:

The alternative is that cars are prohibited because we've decided not to insure the risk and their owners definitely can't be relied upon to just happen to be able to cover the costs when, inevitably, they are incurred.

Well you can take them there, you just need to move.

Otherwise what you're suggesting is that you should be able to place your child in a school that you yourself do not pay taxes towards since you're not in that district.

> You will be tracked

For a peek at what you can expect, take a look at Saudi Arabia, where your bank account gets blocked until your traffic violation fine (usually issued electronically within minutes of the actual deed) is fully paid.

Or at China, where you "social score", more or less calculated automatically, decides in a fairly fine-grained manner what you are and are not allowed to do in society.

These will be become the social norm in the West as well, just a matter of time and getting the herd to consider it "normal" (usually takes a generation, 20-ish years).
For 3D I found octtrees very effective and fast. In my implementation you can even move items around without having to regenerate the tree.

I have yet to find a satisfactory way to store points (in 2d or 3d) and be able to query nearby points. a kD tree is nice, but I want to add points as I go, not build a structure around a fixed set.

Does anybody have materials regarding how you would go about writing an autorouter? I was thinking to maybe use something like this [0] as a starting point?

I have a few major nags about current autorouters:

1. No way to prioritise connections.

2. Handling of differential pairs or buses is terrible.

3. Does not use best practices for high-speed signal lines.

4. No way to add arbitrary rules to the autorouting process, i.e. block a trace from going through an area. For example, maybe you don't want a power trace being autorouted under your IMU, but some low voltage signals are fine.

I've use freerouting [1] in the past but it has a somewhat difficult time of being maintained. Freerouting seems to really struggle with larger designs, it seems to be greedily routing traces and spends ages trying to fix those early placed traces.

>There is an onus in the UK for the registered keeper of the vehicle to incriminate themselves or someone else for road traffic offences (confirmed by test cases).

That's not how that works. You, as the registered keeper of a vehicle, have a number of duties relating to the provision of information to the police or other relevant authorities upon request. This isn't a controversial provision, something similar exists in practically every jurisdiction in which cars have a unique identifier.

The s172 process avoids the situation where a speeding fine can be avoided by simply not saying who was driving. 172(4) provides a statutory defence which can be advanced by an individual who's vehicle was cloned:

>A person shall not be guilty of an offence by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (2) above if he shows that he did not know and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained who the driver of the vehicle was.

And regarding the disclosure issue

> The core objective of the police is to assert your guilt, not to provide you with any help for your defence.

This is an incorrect statement - the police are obliged to disclose any relevant, unused material (eg material they have that they don't produce in evidence) that will either undermine the prosecution case or advance the defence.

However, if you are being prosecuted for failing to nominate, it is more likely that you have completely failed to return the form rather than returning the form with a note saying that your plate appears to have been cloned, in which case access to the ANPR database is irrelevant because you need to explain why you did not bother to furnish the information rather than police not believing that your vehicle had been cloned.
I imagine any Sheriff can enforce a curfew. Drive around and stop anyone you see and tell them to go home and/or arrest them. You could walk or bike or ride a horse, instead of driving.

It might not be very effective, but it's enforcing a curfew.

There are dozens of minerals and chemicals that municipalities add to water supplies. Being overly concerned about fluoride does not make you woke, if anything you seem naive.

Most people are only even aware because cities bragged about it in the past! The only reason to single out fluoride over all the algaecide, anti-corrosion agents, detergents, and disinfectants in tap water is because people read positive newspaper headlines and decided to be contrarian. Not because they were genius detectives.

My proposal is that municipalities should be open to regular public tours. If people actually meet the engineers doing this work in person they might realize these intelligent, professional people making these decisions. And there shouldn't be anything wrong with a bit more transparency and scrutiny on them either.

I can’t say I’ve worked in the COBOL space but it certainly seems like it would be difficult to hire people focused on less transferable tech knowledge. Specialization comes with risk of being phased out and left with your thumb in the wind.

Generally people choose technology that’s going to maximize their prospects in terms of employment. Maybe that is specializing in COBOL, systems and tech around it, and higher level abstractions that inevitably come along. For me that seems risky in terms of time investment, even more so in todays market, but I could be very wrong.

Hard materials are easier than soft materials in some ways. If you lay a soft fabric out before cutting, is it slightly folded, perfectly flat, taut? It will all make a difference.

Moulding plastic or cutting a hard material like aluminium is more amenable to tight tolerances since you can use the same mould over and over, use the same cutter and the material doesn't flex, stretch or change in any significant way.
