I would love to buy an LED bulb that lasts a long time. I thought the reason for their premium price was supposed long lifetime. Mine all last as long as the older bulbs but cost 5X as much. Where can I buy such bulbs in the US?
I’m a developer of 30 years, but writing a game completely with AI. It writes all the code and has something like 200 test cases now . It does well with what it understands but there are all kinds of things it fails at. Like it didn’t blink at an interactive turn-based game taking 10 minutes per turn (instead if an expected 15-30 seconds). That was caused by recomputing everything rather than caching, which I pointed out. There were 3 areas that referred to something we changed. I had to point out what was no longer coherent. AI can write code well, but it just doesn’t have the memory/context size to drive a real world project of any size. It still needs someone else to do the thinking and planning. If I didn’t code I don’t think it would have known where to look to fix many performance problems. I’m not at all worried about it taking my job.
Even then if the agent goes rogue and decides to do the merges you can’t stop it if it has any kind of access. This goes back to the OP’s point - agents can’t be 100% constrained.
I have such a hard time imagining this working well. I used an AI service to make a picture of an archer in a different position from where the image originally showed him and it consistently insisted on swapping the arrow tip and the feathers, so feathers at the front of the arrow. Just because you give these things instructions does not mean they get followed precisely.
Does it follow redirects? My non-www hostname redirects to the www hostname, but ax-check.com says it gets no response back. Any reason it can't take the hostname as-is instead of stripping off the www?
I just read another long post on HN about whether AIs are conscious and should therefore have rights. That decisions could massive effects, and making them appear to have emotions is therefore a big impact, not just unpredictability.
I’m happy for you and your family so far. What I saw with my kids (now in their 20’s) is they changed from what you are describing with your kids when peer pressure entered their lives, and always-on entertainment of every sort was in their pockets. Many/most of their earlier interests sadly could not compete in the dopamine arena of life. I hope you’ll find a way to parent better than I did, but keep this “tech fast” idea in your back pocket - you might be surprised to need it some day.
I attempt to live sort of like this too. My mother is beside herself with all of the wildfires in the world. In my opinion that is like stabbing your hand with a fork. I’m aware of lots of problems in the world, but I can’t do much if anything about them. So I let them go - I’m not going to injure myself over something I can’t control. Uncertainty is the same - worry and anger injure yourself, but changes nothing. Don’t subject yourself to needless pain. I just wish I could live by these words all the time, but it’s hard.
I can’t comment on HOAs being historically racist - I’ve not seen it. But how would that work? They don’t (at least now) get to vote on who is allowed to buy. So how would they keep out whoever they decided was undesirable? Were there bylaws about skin color?
I’m sorry but this kind of thinking is non-sense. There are surely a few cases where someone lets power go to their head, but that happens in every place where humans have any power.
I’m on an HOA board because no else wants to because it’s boring. We maintain a large green space with walking paths and a community pool, and garbage pickup. We have whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, etc and nobody cares. Sometimes there is shared land in a development that has to be managed and somebody has to do it.
Not the above poster but lookup “sleep hygiene”. A lot of the recommendations are solid and have helped me too, especially about fixing a regular sleep schedule.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the bulk of my token usage is not what I type in - it’s that data the AI is processing for me. I’m shocked they even got an 8% reduction.
Many years ago I lived in a brick apartment and the afternoon/evening sun would hit the wall next to my bedroom, making it very hot at night. I started going out with buckets of water to splash on the wall a few times each evening and it made a real difference. A white sheet hung across the wall might have helped more. Lots of things can be done if you don’t mind looking silly :) Unless you’re in the an area with high temp and high humidity. That is bad.
You will get MUCH more uptake and discussion if _you_ write that main github readme page. Many, and I’m becoming one too, won’t bother reading if you couldn’t be bothered to write.
I have a friend (engineer) working on a data center in Texas. It is closed loop. What’s interesting is the chillers have so much condensation that they pump it out to sprinklers which water the desert which now has grass growing. So at least water doesn’t seem to be as big of an objection now. Power though? Still a problem.
I figured n8n was another annoying acronym I didn’t know. So after clicking to the article, and then the repo, and then scanning the repo doc, I guess it’s not an acronym after all?
