Already flagged on HN. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but I kinda think they try to suppress anything not pro-AI


I had a flame sensor go out last year. The tech could get it going by just cleaning the sensor, but did come back and replace it when the part came in.
Sadly, I gave up my own troubleshooting when I saw the computer control was flashing an error. Would have saved me a couple hundred bucks.
Its not a Python oddity, its just IEEE 754.
In a corporate world of vague problems, shifting goals, limited time…sometimes it’s nice to be unencumbered by all that and just fly into shiny things repeatedly:)
That’s why I pick these impossible/pointless personal projects. I just want to have fun writing code.
I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.
I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.


Sad as that is, I think you’re correct


Yes! I hope they don’t roll over (again). They need to fight on every front. Respond to flooding the zone with a torrent of their own.

This seems similar to my experience trying to suss out actual requirements from various incompetent/incoherent PMs. Gibberish in, software out.


Not only do the rich not pay enough taxes, they are the greatest beneficiaries of taxpayer funded programs like SNAP since it allows them to underpay their employees. So we basically subsidize their gains.

LibreOffice UI hasn’t changed in years and I love it, my muscle memory is retained.
Also while ribbon style UI might be visually pleasing and initially approachable, I find simple toolbars with icons in a line are actually easier to scan and navigate. Whereas a ribbon typically has dividers and buttons of varying sizes making them easy to miss.


It would be cool if there was an archive :)

The company now offers affected users two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Equifax, which require enrollment by June 30, 2026.
Aka…sorry for this breach, as a consolation, please give your personal information to this other company that will also “misplace” it…


My color memory is a 39.4/50. Please do worse so I feel better. https://dialed.gg/?c=X2HY3L
Black is white. Up is down. The US government is making a freedom portal.


But….if someone sold a manually operated plastic extruder, that’s fine?
And if someone separately sold CAM software that’s fine too?
Just sayin’

I could not get to it on wayback machine, but this works
Why are utilities privatized?
Our energy provider increased our rates, then reported record breaking profits the next year. :(

I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.
Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.
