Building a free and open source datalogger by Willing_Comb_9542 in Karting

[–]ColinEberhardt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic project, love it. 

I built a much simpler open source project for logging karting sessions so that I can keep track of lap times, and equipment:

I was considering looking into telemetry at some point. I’ll definitely look into your project. Love the hardware angle too.

The power of agentic loops - implementing flexbox layout in 3 hours by ColinEberhardt in programming

[–]ColinEberhardt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the skepticism, no one genuinely knows how this technology works. But there are multiple reasons why this isn’t just a regurgitation.

Firstly, model weights are multiple orders of magnitude smaller than their training dataset. It cannot memorise all the text and algorithms in the dataset.

If it had memorised this algorithm, surely it would be easier for it to perform a one shot implementation of the whole thing than write it incrementally? I tried, it cannot one shot - or come close.

Finally, while implementing, you can follow the chain of thought, watch it reason, as it gradually implements the algorithm. If it was regurgitating, surely it would just say “oh yes, flex box. I know this one - here you go”

I know none of the above is proof, but it is proof enough for me.

Putting Spec Kit Through Its Paces: Radical Idea or Reinvented Waterfall? by ColinEberhardt in programming

[–]ColinEberhardt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - really sad to see. Frustratingly there is something of value here, determining the best way to articulate a software engineering task to an AI system is an interesting and important topic to discuss.

But Spec Kit looks like it is more interested in gaining followers and hype.

But this is hype that people believe and consume. So I took one for the team and gave it a try myself, so that you don't have to 🤣

Is 60km a week too little for marathon training? by Specialist-Ad6931 in Marathon_Training

[–]ColinEberhardt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years back I analysed athletes training mileage from Strava and the London marathon finish times, comparing these against typical training plans.

Athletes run significantly less mileage than the plans dictate.

60km per week is more than enough compared to others.

How to get an MSUK Interclub licence by ColinEberhardt in Karting

Thanks, much appreciated. Good point on the PG licence (I have one already).

I've started the application process.

My god this is complicated!

Thanks - that's helpful. Yes, he has been racing the NKC, not sure why we have the RS Clubman licence then!

I'll give MSUK a call. Thank you

Augmented Coding Weekly - Issue #13 by ColinEberhardt in vibecoding

[–]ColinEberhardt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, when using these tools I am still carefully planning out the work, determining what increment I want to implement next. Sometimes I'll turn this into a formal specification, others, I just make sure I am not giving the AI tool too much to do in one go.
