I've been a photographer for decades, and for a long time I've wanted to make an app that will tell me when the sun's light will directly hit the/a surface of a building.This weekend I found the time to build and launch a thing that does that. Features include: - Enter an address, get back a map with calendar details and some dataviz on when the sun is going to hit each wall
- Save...
I work for a firm that develops custom software in regulated industries, and we have brilliant software & data engineers in their 20's working on compliance auditing, and more specifically "Compliance Management System health monitoring."
We've be able to use a lot of AI-assisted engineering and AI in the software to solve longstanding business challenges in this space.
I won't make assumptions about where you're located, but on the East Coast US it is big business among banks, utilities, healthcare, etc.
Great read. I have fond memories of eagerly awaiting the launch of Mindstorms, having gotten to play with LEGO LOGO kits that my dad was able to bring home from the school he worked at.
I appreciate that LEGO has always leaned into programmable tech for consumers.
Also, shoutout to any OG rec.toys.lego group members if any of y'all are reading.

I built an modular MCP server that lets AI control a Flipper Zero.The basic idea: you tell Claude "write a BadUSB script that opens a rickroll" and it generates the DuckyScript, validates it, saves it to your Flipper, and can execute it.I've launched the project with 14 MCP tools across 4 modules:1. BadUSB: generate/validate/save/diff/execute DuckyScript from natural language2. Music: create...
This is the plot-line behind the Serpentor story arc in GI Joe, but they mix all the best-worst parts together into one bad guy.

Very anecdotal, but I feel like Uber in Costa Rica is criminally cheap. Many $4 rides.
The scene in SLC Punk where Mark (Til Schweiger) is giving a tour of his home, the LaserDisc part is one of my favorites.
Many YA readers also just lived through a global pandemic. Changes the expectations around "fiction", perhaps.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been working on something for editing exiting code by using GitHub Issues and Actions for prompting, with the response from GPT as a Pull Request/Comment on the Issue[1]. I will definitely try out your project!

I’ve been experimenting with sliding window chunking using SRT files. They’re the subtitle format for television and have 1 to _n_ sequence numbers for each chunk, along with time stamps for when the chunk should appear on the screen. Traditionally it’s two lines of text per chunk but you can make chunks of other line counts and sizes. Much of my work with this has been with SRT files that are transcriptions exported from Otter.ai; GPT-3.5 & 4 natively understand the SRT format and the concepts of the sequence numbers and time stamps, so you can refer to them or ask for confirmation of them in a prompt.
I’d like to build something like this, but for Robot Odyssey.
Thank you for triggering the long-dormant neuron in my brain that remembers working with Yahoo Pipes.
