I got the same email, and I don't have a credit card on file with them. I wonder what they're going to do?

In Europe semi-truck trailers have stickers on them representing their speed limit. Those speed limits differ by country, so quite often you see a truck with 60,70,80 and 90 sticks on it.

So then you're driving in Germany at 200km/h and the camera picks up the 90km/h and brakes aggressively.

I absolutely hate it.

They are. All BMWs have the same screen.

It's one 1 screen, regardless of whether your car has heated seats, ventilated seats, sync, arm-rest warmers, separate blowers or a single blower.

Within 1 production line, say for the BMW 3 series, some people don't select heated seats, some do.

Now they only need to make 1 version of the plastic, and it's just a checkbox in the software to enable the heated seats.

Vibe-coded. Sorry.

https://github.com/514-labs/dnsglobe/blob/c29802162636832e88...

You take the `other`, do a `to_string()` on it, which creates a String representation. Then you pass a reference to that String, and, in the case it doesn't contain `time out` or `timeout` or `refused`, the reference gets turned AGAIN into a String (i.e. new allocation), truncated to 48, and then returned.

There is no check whether that the character at the 48th byte is a character boundary.

Add to that the fact that this is a Rust project with the oldest commit created yesterday and it is using the 2021 edition.

Be better.

To add to this:

    * Finger on the trigger. Very dangerous. Pulp Fiction showed the consequences
    * Using ball ammo

I actually dislike the pistols without manual safety. CCW people always say: but the Glock/P365/P320/VP9/... have an internal safety, a trigger safety and a drop safety.

But these safeties are not additive. If your trigger safety fails, the gun will go off. Same with the drop safety.

At least with a manual safety those are additional. It's not that because your car has an airbag that you stop wearing your seatbelt right?

How modern? We built or house in Belgium in 2016, and it was completely sealed, very well insulated, but the air quality was good because we had mechanical ventilation. Clean air blown in, stale air extracted which then went through a heat exchanger.

The only issue this house had was it overheated. We had glass facing south. Even in winter it instantly became too hot.

What I am surprised by is that cams are still used to operate the valves.

Given to how precise these need to be these days, I would've guessed they would've switched to electronically actuated valves.

I agree, but having abstractions allow us to learn things in a system that are broadly applied.

This is out the door for AI generated systems. Unless extreme care is taken there is is no consistency in these new-found codebases. New paradigms are introduced left and right, because in the eye of the LLM, and the prompter, they worked.

It didn't matter that the same pattern was repeated 37 times in a slightly different manner.

So your knowledge now is no longer portable.

It used to be that you could look at code, and ask why? And usually (not always) the answer was something like: 'I tried x, y, and z, and those didn't work', either by past experience or current experimentation. (we could argue if the current experimentation should be documented).

But for LLMs they put in something complex for no other reason than that it does what is requested. Reading a string from a valid source byte by byte until you hit \0 is valid, and it'll work. But if you take a step back at, read the API docs of what you're consuming, and then consider: if the API says X, why am I testing whether that's correct?

I think this is very dangerous.

And yet, in hindsight, I would've wanted it for me, my sister, and my wife.

My sister and I have a certain type of EDS. My wife has another kind.

Born today, based on the current science, tests would reveal this. It wouldn't change the progression of the disease, but it would have dramatically changed the journey.

At the very least it would've avoided the self-doubt, and it would've provided defense against doctors when they said 'oh you're just tired' (we all have the EDS symptom that sometimes our batteries are VERY low).

This is the video this article is based on.

But you're right, source attribution is horrible in this article. And in every other article these days.

It is full of URLs that link to other articles on THAT website, sometimes categories, often these links are auto-generated.

Everything to keep you into their ecosystem, at the cost of quality of journalism.

My mom (who smoked, and quit) explained to me that when she was growing up, the teachers would still smoke in class! That was in the 1959..=1964 timeframe.

What I find interesting about cigarettes is that it created a whole new set of legislation requiring things to be non-flammable or at least flame-retarding.

The tobacco industry lobbied for this, because they didn't want to be held accountable for the deaths related to say a smoldering cigarette that lit a house on fire.

And those products themselves really weren't that healthy, as the flame-retardant added to say your couch would off-gas for a LONG time.

Now cigarettes (at least in the EU and in the USA) have 3 speed bumps in them, so they don't completely burn. They stop at each of these, and you need to suck more to overcome these bumps.

Sorry, but there are a million things to do. Paying someone to self-host Forgejo isn't even on that list. We'll just pay someone at the moment.
