With Amazon Sidewalk I don't think not hooking it up to the internet is an option anymore, unless you live out in the boonies

I'd rather we left that car dependency enabler to the yanks thank you very much

The rear brake does not touch the wheel, the chain defies physics around the pulley wheels, and that's after looking at it for two seconds

No one wants your hobby db
Sounds great! Can I subscribe to an RSS feed/mailing list?
delay the project, bring attention to the problem, feel better about themselves by doing “something”.

“That achieves nothing” sounds like what a Microsoft PR person would want you to think.

Casting from the web doesn’t work (on iOS at least) but that’s all I can think of.

Now if only OP talked to humans once in a while and not LLMs they’d stop writing “it’s not X, it’s Y”

So how many Joules can you safely sustain in say, a month, or a lifetime ?

A fairly untrained cyclist is usually able to maintain 200W, so yes this is definitely possible

That's incredibly disappointing from Moxie

I’m surprised you bothered writing software instead of writing some G code by hand for testing
Re:"Don't You Just Upload It to ChatGPT?" on Friday June 12, 2026 @03:55PM (#48508738)
Do you have examples?
What is it with the AI bros that seemingly can’t write two pages without their precious LLM doing it for them. It could be a genuinely cool story, but I’m just put off by the LLMism everywhere
Re:Maybe you shouldn't install new software for a bit on Friday May 08, 2026 @03:40AM (#48059926)
OP is suggesting that a supply chain attack would be bad now, and to reduce that risk by not installing/updating NPM packages.
It's so bad, I know no one reads the original post on here, but this one was painful

CPUs haven't worked like that in anything but a microcontroller for half a century

I do not approve PRs from junior devs until the commit message is useful.
Having a bad day eh, let’s be mean to the disabled o the internet
Cars are moving towards something like that, mostly because copper is expensive and there are miles and miles of it in even a basic car these days

> This has completely replaced human code review for anything that isn't functional correctness

Isn’t functional correctness pretty much the only thing that matters though?

Could you run a similar analysis for pre-2020 papers? It'd be interesting to know how prevalent making up sources was before LLMs.

Hopefully the malware authors have the same issue of filtering through garbage AI submission
The viewport of this website is quite infuriating. I have to scroll horizontally to see the `cloc` output, but there's 3x the empty space on either side.
