Some of the JavaScript code I’ve seen I’d call ‘clever’ because it uses certain parts of the language that are technically in the spec or are just weird casting side effects that I hope no normal developer would actually use because it’s unreadable. I’m sure ‘somebody’ used it because the AI picked up on it but it’s not exactly something that should be replicated.

Some colleges are letting students use AI code to do their assignments. I’d expect that ‘average quality’ to get so much worse over time and I’m not sure the developers are going to be getting any better right along with it. They can continue to turn in work they probably don’t fully understand to begin with.

Except it’s a computer writing the code that somebody probably ran once and said ‘looks good’ for their ‘happy path’ and committed it. So it’s inevitably probably full of weird edge case bugs…have fun.

That book has far too many pages. Recommend a new book template.

They lose their business license. Shut down the retail locations. Customs will seize all imports of their goods into the country. They can do a lot to make it so trying to circumvent the system just isn’t worth the hassle. Their income from that country will plummet regardless.

You joke…but yeah(Obviously nsfw).

Usually the issues runs deeper than that. Most new cars are on a canbus system.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are components that control certain functionality - e.g. the engine control unit, transmission, brakes, steering, temperatures etc. A modern car can easily have 70+ ECUs - each sharing information with other ECUs on the bus.

My door locks, windows, mirrors, etc. all controlled by canbus modules.

I believe it was Toyota that got yelled at because you couldn’t remote start your car with the key fob which uses radio waves without paying for the subscription to remote start from your phone. The car was wired to receive the start signal (fob/modem) then feed the request through the canbus system which then pinged out to their subscription service to find out you didn’t have access. I believe they have since fixed that due to public backlash.

I’m sure people will find a way to tweak all that or basically mock out the ‘ping home’ to always say you have access. But just replacing electronics could lead to so much stuff just not working even if you get the engine running with an aftermarket ECU. Also if your state has emission testing to register your car…it’s almost guaranteed to fail.

FCC is working on getting STIR/SHAKEN in place but it’s slow.

It’s basically the security you see with certs and domain names on the web but with phone numbers. If you try to place a call and can’t provide the ‘proof’ you own the number then the phone carrier just kills the call. Also helps with traceability because now they know exactly who owns what numbers so complaints of spam are much easier to go after.

You can already see this in inbound calls in your phone app. Should have a little check mark for validated callers.

Edit: freaking autocorrect

Way cheaper to just install(or have somebody else install) a new radio. I did this in an afternoon.

Now I have CarPlay/Android Auto, a reverse camera, and engine diagnostics/check engine codes all in one spot. Didn’t lose my steering wheel controls. Actually doubled them cause now they support press and hold actions for every button that I can choose what they do.

This is all in a 2010 stick shift…

I’m going with the latter. Even my old college which is heavily focused on development is incorporating AI into the curriculum. Mainly because they’re all using it to solve their assignments anyway. Since it isn’t likely to go away and it’s a ‘tool’ they’ll have available when they hit the workforce they are allowing its use.

I’m not looking forward to seeing code written by some of these people in the wild. Most of the AI code I’ve seen is truly horrendous. I can’t imagine an entire business application of just strung together AI code being maintainable at all.

I’ll just leave this here cause this future reality is even worse since they likely don’t understand the code to begin with.

I added a bunch of insulation to my attic and that quieted things down. I think a lot of the sound was coming in the soffit vents and then through the ceiling of the room instead of the walls themselves.

My guess is lawn mowers at the crack of dawn. That’s mostly the noise I wake up to. Gotta beat the heat…

My high school all the analog clocks attached to a big box that had the intercom in it. The clocks were all synchronized remotely through that system school wide. So no need for batteries. We did have digital clocks at the ends of most hallways. I’d imagine because they’re just physically smaller and less ambiguity for when 1 minute matters before a bell in between classes.

That is a toaster oven right next to it too…

They’ve announced that they have no plans to make any such recall.

However, The Verge asked Intel if it was planning a recall of chips already affected, and the answer seems pretty definitive. Not only will it not be recalling the affected CPUs, but it has not halted sales and has yet to comment on whether it might extend its warranty.

Oddly enough Ford has done weirder crap in the past. They invented E-coat which is a rust prevention process and then didn’t widely use it in their plants until 25-30 years later. In the meantime they licensed it to most of their competitors while Ford themselves went on to develop a horrendous reputation for their cars rusting all through the 60’s and 70’s…

Co worker went into a grocery store and asked for a loyalty card. They wanted him to fill out the form of information. He’s like can I just not? The person behind the counter couldn’t care less…they just handed him the plastic sheet of like ~5 cards (full size and several keychain sized). So my loyalty card is spilt with that many people and is tied to no one. So the data on that account is wild I’m sure. I don’t get the like 3 cents off gas but I wasn’t gonna use it for that anyway. I hate ‘loyalty card’ prices on everything…

After I moved to Utah I just stopped asking questions and got used to the fact that you will misspell people’s names. They were making fun of it a decade ago….

I’m at about 230/month for 2 vehicles and 2 bikes.

More details. It’s an aluminum bodied truck (expensive to repair, insurers are catching on), a 2 seat convertible, a super sport motorcycle and another 950cc motorcycle. These all have “full coverage”…quotes cause that isn’t necessarily the same thing everywhere. The truck is the most expensive to insure making up over half the total premium above.

That’s with discounts for multi policy and multi line (house and auto) and misc others like safe driving, etc.

I’ll start by saying that I work from home and am very happy with the arrangement but I can see why businesses are pushing back to the office.

It’ll kill a lot of the smaller banks. The larger ones will likely get another government bailout. Banks have most of their assets in loans. A lot of those loans are for commercial real estate. Other people/companies invest heavily in commercial real estate as well. As some companies pull out of big sky scrapers the companies that own those buildings struggle to pay their loans.

As those loans get renegotiated, many borrowers will see their loan payments spike sharply. Those elevated costs, combined with languishing tenant revenues resulting from falling occupancy rates, could create a perfect storm for defaults and delinquencies. Banks, of course, are the bag holders here, and small and midsize banks are particularly heavily exposed

I get the fuck’em attitude towards big business like that but you will likely feel the blow back on it personally.

There are also other associated things that get impacted too. A lot of strip malls with restaurants and the such go up near business parks. If the business parks are empty then those places won’t stay open either. Which is then more commercial real estate back in the market.

You can search ‘work from home commercial real estate banks’ for several articles on the subject.
