I think I've evolved beyond knots and just accepted that elastic laces are my future for all but my proper use-for-high-intensity running shoes.

They attempt to sell it at market-rate which, assuming the previous owner intentionally under-valued the house, would earn them money that they can use to continue the program.

That must be a small percentage of the Steam Deck userbase that's impacted by this as I have the OLED model and it does not flicker or cause _me_ eye strain, even when at the absurdly low brightness levels it can reach.

Isn't this what good commit messages are intended to address? If a person has gone so far as to allow an agent to write all their code, they're likely having it commit on their behalf too.

Writing a skill / set of rules around what makes a good commit message would encourage the LLM to record it's reasoning (however much we truly consider it to be "reasoning").

Personally, guiding junior teammates down the path away from purely "Writer of Code" to "Implementer of Functionality" has been working well for me.

If you get them involved in the design process, they feel heard. Feeling heard is one surefire way to have a person feel involved. Feeling involved fosters a sense of ownership and pride which in turn helps keep a person engaged.

"Huh, this is just an identity function. Cool. Let's move on."

For sure, but that's not what I was referring to in my posts. I'm specifically referring to the callout that the contributions are so low quality they don't even pass linting or compile.

I could have been more explicit on that nuance, I suppose.

You're right. It doesn't solve for all scenarios and doesn't block malicious actors.

I do believe, however, that it would have a meaningful impact on the "drive-by" PRs that keep being used as examples; the thoughtless, throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall PRs that do not have malignant intent behind them.

Many large OSS projects would have the resources to eat that cost with Donors, Sponsors, and OSS hand-outs. That's why I clarified in my original post because I know this is not a general solution.

I'm personally amazed that _Large_ OSS projects don't have the appropriate automation in place to prevent non-compiling or non-linter-passing submissions.

- Hooks (although there's no clean way to enforce they be "installed" on a clone), GHA Workflows (or their equivalents on other forges).

This might be my bias showing, but these are items I would consider table-stakes for a project of a certain size / level of popularity.

It feels like a lot of the "AI is shit at contributing" problems could be addressed in part by better automated checks and balances.

Honestly, I think this is a stepping stone towards replacing industry CAD modeling tools.

AI _can_ work with 3D models already, but it's really bad at it. CAD requires an extra level of control and I think this is where I could see AI companies wanting to get a foot in the door.

e.g "Let's build an adapter between 2in BSP Male and 3/4in NPT Female threads with a third Hose Barb outlet with the following properties..."

So the equivalent of replacing a 5.1 surround with a beefy soundbar?

This is how I was taught by my insurance-recognized course and for the same reason you provided.

I believe wet clutches are semi-designed with this use-case in mind

I believe they're anticipating self-hosters to deploy directly from their Github documentation.

The FAQs in Github also imply that a hosted deployment for single users is on their roadmap, but not prioritized. - https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbolt/blob/main/docs/fa...

Both groups will operate on a wide spectrum, but if we're already generalizing...

Perhaps there's a matter of competing priorities?

Programmers are usually quite cynical overall, but in this case I see it as a "My CEO is telling me _out loud_ that they want to replace me, so why would I help them speed up that process?"

Investors likely want what they're invested in to appreciate, so I imagine they're likely over-leveraged and are doing what they can to get their bag.

I struggle to understand what the target market is for products like this.

I can't imagine a legitimate market for (in my opinion gimmicky) colour e-readers, and I believe this would be a horrific experience as a daily-use monitor.

Is this intended for some form of advertising or marketing?

For sure. I don't think we are disagreeing on that fact, nor do I believe it hurts the validity of my comment.

Two sides of the same coin. Demand will always exist in a waxing / waning fashion. You've identified an area that will temporarily increase demand in the industrializing countries.

My hope is that the reduction in demand in more established countries will be able to offset that increase in demand somewhat. Probably not enough to net-zero it, but hopefully it has some meaningful effect.

I think the key word is "decimated".

There will always be some baseline demand for petroleum products, but reducing the demand to be as close to baseline as possible is a good thing.

Yes I can attest to how quickly they start breaking down even just sitting in the container for about a week. Almost need a scheduled reminder to replace it no matter how full it is.

My city talked about banning "Single Use Items" from drive thrus and such, but what they failed to communicate was this also meant "Paper Bags" like what McDonalds would hand you out the window.

It was _that_ part which sparked outrage. The overly-simplistic definition of "Single Use" items included items which are _actually_ recyclable like paper (or compostable if covered in food-stuff).

They undid the ban "for re-evaluation"

In my area, one of our grocery chains has "Compostable Bags" which they package the "Pickup / Delivery" orders in.

My area also mandates municipal composting so the discussion of "But is it _really_ compostable" is moot.

You're living it the best you can with what you have. As the other commenter stated, you are making unfair comparisons. Focus on comparing your tomorrow self with your today self. As long as that comparison trends in the right direction, you're doing well.

At that point, one might as well start mentally breaking down the Larger System into smaller Sub Systems and the Contracts between them.

While I understand where you are coming from, the iPhone 4 was announced in 2010[1].

I believe a more apt comparison would be my current situation with an iPhone 6 which came out in 2014[2]. It works perfectly fine, albeit with a new battery. I do not plan on upgrading to any iPhone past the 6 unless the headphone jack comes back (my major personal gripe).

Every frame is 12 seconds, I believe.

Yeah that comparison isn't really relevant. I believe it would be more like:

McDonalds has successfully convinced people that it's not worth cooking food at home anymore.

Unless they’ve recently changed how it works the URL does actually affect the Top Stories vs Most Recent.^1

I’ve had the same bookmark for a couple years now which always defaults to Most Recent.
