"Working with Gen AI" by Dandytoon
  • This reminds me of a colleague who was always ranting that our code was not documented well enough. He did not understand that documenting code in easily understandable sentences for everybody would fill whole books and that a normal person would not be able to keep the code path in his mental stack while reading page after page. Then he wanted at least the shortest possible summary of the code, which of course is the code itself.

    The guy basically did not want to read the code to understand the logic behind. When I took an hour and literally read the code for him and explained what I was reading including the well placed comments here and there everything was clear.

    AI is like this in my opinion. Some guys waste hours to generate code they can’t debug for days because they don’t understand what they read, while it would take maybe two hours to think and a day to implement and test to get the job done.

    I don’t like this trend. It’s like the people that can’t read docs or texts anymore. They need some random person making a 43 minute YouTube video to write code they don’t understand. Taking shortcuts in life usually never goes well in the long run. You have to learn and refine your skills each and every day to be and stay competent.

    AI is a tool in our toolbox. You can use it to be more productive. And that’s it.

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • This is the way to go. Without conditioning I’d die when running at 30C. But with gradually rising temperatures you get accustomed to it. There are nicer things in life but it’s absolutely possible

  • That sign can't stop him because...
  • The sign clearly states black cats with white faces. So no rules were broken.

    But even if the sign was correct AFAIK cats, they would not give a shit and do what they want anyway 🤣

  • Riding in the mountains
  • A lot of good tips here! Came back from the alps a couple of days ago and I have one point that I did not see: it seems counterintuitive but if it gets really tight that you would have to take the turn in first gear at idle revs or below you need to give it some revs (I am at about 5k with my small single cylinder engine) and feather the clutch to regulate your speed. The revs keep your bike stable and the clutch is much better to modulate your speed than the gas.

    I know this wears your clutch but they are usually oil cooled and are more robust than a lot of people think. And after all they are meant to be replaced when worn out. A clutch is cheaper than taking the shortest path down a hill because you dropped your bike 😉

  • My 3 year old cat wakes me up in the middle of the night ever since my 16 year old cat passed away.
  • When our first cat died, number two also acted very weird. He was searching his buddy for weeks without stopping. After a while we brought him company, since his mental Health seemed to be on a decline. Having a new kitten helped him out of this situation and now he has a new best friend 😁

    Still miss our first one 🥹

  • Hard clutch
  • The cables I know have self lubricating sleeves. If you lubricate these they often don’t last very long. But I don’t have experiences with the kind of lubricant you mentioned.

    Since the cable is the most likely source I’d change the cable.

  • Parrot and the word "No"
  • I once told my daughter that a star that is only visible to grown ups appears on her forehead when she is lying. Soon she started to hide her forehead when lying 😂

    Even today - although older - I ask her to show me her forehead and I can read her reaction like a book

  • Will I ever be seen as truly British?
  • Being in the same situation in a different country, but a couple of years older: In my experience you never will be fully accepted by everyone. You will be the Polish guy in UK and the British guy in Poland.

    You can identify yourself as what you want. You must learn that people have the right to have their own opinion even though it is wrong or opposed to yours. You have to learn not to care and live your life as a nice person. It doesn’t matter at all what others think as long as they don’t hurt you.

  • Security
  • You can’t imagine how much I hate this setting. A couple of weeks ago I helped a guy install some specific software on a windows machine provided by the customer. It’s like one exe with a config file. Pretty basic. My instructions were:

    1. Copy the exe to a specific path
    2. Create a new text file in the same path and copy paste this provided text into the file
    3. Rename file to abc.xml

    The exe was throwing errors because of the missing config file. Of course the filename was abc.xml.txt 💩

  • If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes?
  • Of course they are pissed. In nature, it is common to see random stuff mixing together to get a cold temperature. Of course you’d define this as 0. Then you define freezing water as 32 and define a random person’s temperature to a even more random 96. Piece of cake.

    How are these morons even able to understand that water is freezing approximately at 0c and boiling at 100c. This never happened ever in nature. Why choose something so unimportant to life like water?

  • Perpetual Energy
  • Hello! Here is your random engineer: You have to connect both trap doors to the same side of the turbine. Otherwise your generator has a great chance to get blocked by users.

    Otherwise the concept looks good. If we find a way to get the Linux guys out and make them able to walk a slight incline without collapsing this should work.
