I see this often. That tells me I've done enough scrolling and it's time to get back to work.

I usually browse /all and top 6 hours

A cool feature for the fediverse could be some kind of aggregated view and a way for the community to link common topic threads.

If a remote worker can actually do the job at a high enough level, then the writing is on the wall.

Globalization will eventually take over those roles and laws that try to prop up a local worker will end up like Oregon's old law that says you can't pump your own gas.

The only way to 'win' is to equip the local guy with skills that absolutely cannot be done remotely, or educate him to do things at a level unmatched by the remote worker coming from another culture.

And this, kids, is why nobody can say sorry for anything. It will be used against you in court.

An exceptionally well trained AI customer service has the potential to be amazing.

I only call or try to chat/email with customer service if something has gone way wrong - like outside the typical customer service capability of assistance.

If an AI can realize that my problem is human worthy and escalate it faster, that would save me time in the chat queue talking with someone who barely knows my native language.

Alas, AIs will be poorly trained, so the bad-english CS reps will still be right behind the AI interface waiting for me.

The amount of time I reset it myself and the problem went away is too damn high.

Usually the end user kinda smirks and says huh, weird, I tried that! You must be magic!

Me too, thought I was the only one

There are Udemy courses on cobol, I'm sure any developer can get up to speed pretty fast.

Or just use an LLM, like the rest of us now

It works well.

Better than toasting the thing in a 350 degree oven (becomes rock hard)

Way better than microwaving (becomes like soft but hot white bread)

Takes just a few minutes too.

EarlyOOM is your friend. Tweak it to save the most important stuff and kill irrelevant stuff first when low on memory.

Step 1: defeat the car lobby Step 2: take over city land use planning Step 3: allocate trillions to city road design Step 4: allocate trillions to to public transportation Step 5: adjust the culture to accept commercial near residential Step 6: ? Step 7: you know the rest

Driver support was so dicey. If you had anything even remotely not mainstream, you would be compiling your own video driver, or network driver, or basically left to figure it out for any other peripheral. So many devices like scanners and very early webcams just claimed zero Linux support at all, but you could at times find someone else's project that might work.

I tried to switch to Linux as a desktop system several times in the late 90s but kept going back to windows because hardware support just wasn't there yet.

Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.

In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.

I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.

This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.

Any ideas?

I'm in the process of hiring for a position and I have two candidates. It's a tough call because both are very proficient but each has some unique attributes. I thought I might ask ChatGPT's assistance with thinking it through.

I recorded myself talking through my thoughts on each one as I read through their resume and the Q&As that I've done with each. Then uploaded the audio file to the whisper-1 api for transcription (for this I'm using the OpenAI API).

Then I pasted the transcribed text into GPT4 and then prompted it with: "Above is my transcribed notes comparing two candidates for a position together. Help me think through this decision by asking me questions, one at a time."

ChatGPT proceeded to ask me really good questions, one after the other. After a while I felt like it had got me to think about many new factors and ideas. After about 22 questions I'd had enough, so I asked it to wrap up and summarize our next steps, to which it spit out a bullet-point list of what we'd concluded and, what steps we should take next.

I don't know if everyone is using ChatGPT this way, but this is a really useful feedback system.

This bike has a 10ah battery in the seat post and a 7 gear derailleur. Top speed is limited to 25km but I think it can be reprogrammed to remove the limit.

My project is a "breathing" white 12v LED strip controlled by an esp32 on a dev board, and switched with an IFLZ44N mosfet.

In my video you can see it working but also hear the power supply complaining.

I'm using the LEDC Arduino library which allows me to select the frequency and resolution for PWM.

If I set the frequency too low the whine is extreme, but at this setting it's the best I've been able to achieve, which is about 9000Hz. Unfortunately you can still hear the sound from across the room!

It is a cheapo solid state power supply that claims it can output 12v up to 25A. I tried my desktop supply and it emits some whine too, so I don't think replacing the power will totally fix this.

Is there a technique for tuning the frequency or even just masking it somehow?

I live in a city where public transportation is overcrowded, there's constant vehicle traffic, and you can't depend on any commute time for a given day or hour. The average temperature is very high, so walking is a sweaty affair.

The only way I've found to make this city more usable is with an ebike and scooter. It's like the perfect vehicle for these conditions.

However, many people reject the technology and either choose their car or other forms of getting around.

Is it because it's not well understood, or seems too expensive?

I'm curious what sold you on the technology or what is the reason you're not making the leap.

Saw this come through from Octoprint remotely. It was an 8 hour print and died about at about the 7:15 mark.
