what about people who actually need help with their teeth? I have had a cavity, I could see it. They helped. I still have the tooth.
Re:Can AI design circuit boards yet? on Saturday September 05, 2026 @01:39AM (#49573391)
I have both Altium and Kicad experience. Can you explain further how you are setting up the AI to interface with KiCad? Is your AI having keyboard/mouse access or are you doing it only through API? Not familiar with Claude interface.

You can bring internet to these other places other than by running a 1km fiber cable, which may be more efficient. Think about it, run. A cable super long to one house or use a dish? Unless there is truly no other options in france

If we assume $20k to run the fiber, you could do starlink for a long time. There are internet options other than fiber. Unless there is no other options in France than fiber. What if France got a contract with starlink? Brought the cost down of that.

Wonder how many thousands of taxpayer dollars was spent for this. Does not seem efficient.

You’re alluding that others shouldn’t use the site, but you still do? You need an account to read there don’t you?

Isn't median code often a good thing in terms of ability for others to understand it?

Re:A single line of code cost $8000 on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @12:44PM (#43834989)
$8000 is nothing for most companies, if you have 10 developers making 100k a year your burn rate is $4000 a day just for salaries.
You can see the consequences of this playing out in highly developed countries
regarding your comment "a new policy of not admitting international students with certain points of view"

Do you think Harvard should admit students that are, "hostile to the American values and institutions inscribed in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence, including students supportive of terrorism or anti-Semitism."?

At least they have an FAQ about it... not that I endorse ads baked into your TV
I have an iPhone with a lightning connector. I use a wireless charger at home and in my car, and AirPods pros. I used to charge with a cable, but I wash my phone regularly under the faucet and then the phone does not like to charge or corrodes the cheap cables if there is liquid remaining in there.

I exclusively wireless charge now, and happily continue keeping my phone clean.

Thought this was sarcasm till the end. Good idea

Appreciate the honesty
Glad to see this here. I have a couple sonos speakers in my kitchen and I am still scared to update to the latest app. I was fortunate enough to check the sub-reddit prior to updating.

Thanks for helping me not waste my time
I believe Amazon has price rules such that you cannot price gouge on Amazon. Do the vendors you list have any rules like that? Or do you just not care?
