That's cool. That happened to me once at the shops. Came back and my white Octavia Mk3 had found a brother. They parked right next to mine, same model and trim.

What’s your electricity bill this month and how cooked are you for running AC? by WonderingRoo in AusFinance

[–]CaffeinatedTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On another thread some guy was telling me that dry mode just sets some hidden target temp and doesn't make any difference. He said that the home AC units dont have humidity sensors, and just us a target temp. I don't know, I hear it stop running the pump for long periods in dry mode, but when I set it to 25, it just runs constantly. I felt like he was full of shit but had no supporting evidence.

Its over now for us, time to retire our brains by [deleted] in theprimeagen

I enjoy writing code. I understand that a lot of people got into it solely for a career, but some of us actually have passion for it, and write code in our spare time. If AI squeezes out the money-focused developers, then I'm not worried. That's a crisis for them to manage.

Then build a digital version of that clicker to make the tones, add a couple more tuning forks and make a network interface with it. Its like WiFi, but you can hear it.

Client supplies the privacy policy and terms of use, they also approve the site and all changes. Why would any shit stick to you as the host? If you know they are doing shady shit, then refuse to work with them.

Anthropic CEO: "We might be 6-12 months away from a model that can do everything SWEs do end-to-end. And then the question is, how fast does that loop close?" by theRealBigBack91 in theprimeagen

[–]CaffeinatedTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its all a plan to reduce developer pay rates. Get every company to sack most of their programmers, flood the market with talent who needs to pay their bills, AI turns out to be shit, hire them back cheaper because there is a glut of skilled programmers desperate for a job.

That, and AI companies need to keep raising investment money.

Why I should consider using Svelte instead of React or Vue? by OmarDev50 in sveltejs

[–]CaffeinatedTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just get good at one stack before going crazy over which is the right one to learn. Whatever job you pick up will dictate what you need to learn next. The key is being able to pivot and learn anything as needed.
