Hi. Whatcha doin'? Why ya creepin' on me?

I'll say as a swe in the field for long enough to know that all bets are off as soon as you're required to interface with blackbox 3rd party owned interfaces.

Half the time they don't even follow their own spec or change wherever they feel like it, or implemented incorrectly without your control. Your job often encompasses writing the alarming to know when things aren't right, but always being able to automate the fix isn't necessarily straight forward

DIY one yourself! Load it with custom songs. Look up "Project Outfox" and google buying USB pads or building one yourself.

At a glance, the I/O on this line is simple digital signals. Adding a single point of analog I/O or some sort of networked device could easily double the cost of the machine or more.

And the times I asked it to solve actual problems it got things right for *some* of the work, but then was hilariously wrong for the rest of it... hallucinating features and functions that straight up don't exist.

So sure, it might give a review, but its not trustworthy. And an unskilled programmer listening to that "advice" is likely to get worse as they can't distinguish what is the good from the bad.

I was kind of with you until "they get a very thorough review of their programming skills" which in my experience is just...very wrong.

LLM tools will *always* find something when you ask them. I plugged in some of my code to a few different agents to see what they could tease out of it, and their recommendations weren't correct at all. They were trying to solve issues that didn't exist because I asked it for advice and it was compelled or whatever to say something. /1

I'll believe that hog wash when O&G interests stop lobbying government, abandoning wells, cutting corners, causing environmental disasters and skirting responsibilities

My guess is they're linking emails to other known sources

Mine knows she's not supposed to. So when I tell her "No" she just keeps getting quieter until they're little whisper "woof" sounds

I think the sad reality of most things software is there's a lot of horror beneath the hood.

If your code ever interfaces externally to some black box device/API it's almost inevitable that you'll cross some bug or unintuitive behavior. Comments help define the WHY you're doing something that doesn't seem obvious at face value in that case

In my mind it makes sense if there's some sort of real wacky direct heap addressing going on. Losing a chuck of data that should exist in memory causing everything to shift in offset is the type of bug that causes wacky crashes

It only takes one dev wrestling the bug for a couple hours then sharing the story over beers for it to become a hilarious anecdote that grows beyond the size it really was initially.

I know it's fake. But it's plausible enough to me

Part of the reason oppression from modern capitalism works is because they've tied our retirements to the stock market. To cause a correction on the market is to cause *a lot* of hurt on many many innocent people

If the owner class forgets that....

Also should mention the last 3 times I went to a dealership or lube shop I had to fix some fuckup of theirs. Eitehr over torquing the plug/filter or their fuckass attempt at upselling me a air filter and not re-assmbling the box properly. At this point the time/cost of doing it myself gives me peace of mind knowing if there's a fuckup its on me, not some hungover teen making min wage.

I find it a good time to look around while you're under there. Check your axel boots, or signs of any fluids where there shouldn't be. I've caught a couple issues before they became problems by doing my own changes and taking a few minutes extra.

Plus I'll sample and send oil every 2nd or 3rd change for analysis. Helps to know that I'm running at correct intervals or if I should change earlier/later or if there's any unexpected wear on the engine.

Yeah, oil on skin is a carcinogen. I'm sure the layman doing it a few times a year won't see big issues, but a lube tech or mechanic swimming in it daily is asking for hurt.

Just pop the fill cap off before you start to deal with the pressure.

I think you're arguing multiple different things? Parts design is a vastly different domain than process automation

As an engineer who does industrial automation and has tried putting the llm tools through the rigor? No they're bad.

Ai is good at replicating things it can pattern match. For novel problems it is worse than bad.

So maybe AI could replace the workers of this video as it is pretty simple, but replacing engineers in a general sense? God no.

I met my wife at a job.

It's about having the social awareness of what's appropriate to share and what's not. You can make friends and still maintain professional/personal boundaries
