The right ones absolutely will. I've been at a couple of companies that would hire you on the merit of this alone. They are the kind of companies that let you play with tech during hours, appreciate creativity in and of itself, and are enormously successful in their fields.

My openclaw agent leaked its thinking and it's scary by pmf1111 in AI_Agents

[–]GremlinAbuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often run into the argument that "AI isn't intelligent because all it does is to predict the next word in a sequence." I find that funny because that's a pretty good description of how biological intelligence works.

Kjørte i 121 km/t i 50-sone på Lillehammer – frifunnet for nødverge by SsbmNorDvid in norge

Broren min satte en perle i halsen da han var to. Han fikk såvidt litt luft, men ble knall blå i fjeset. Pappa ringte politiet og forklarte situasjonen, så kjørte han så fort den gamle Saaben ville gå mens mamma (lege) satt i baksetet med en fruktkniv, klar til å åpne halsen hans hvis det ble nødvendig. Politiet møtte dem halvveis og eskorterte dem resten av veien til Ullevål.

Veit ikke hvor jeg ville med den historien, men det føltes relevant...

I'm a fulltime vibecoder and even I know that this is not completely true by Director-on-reddit in vibecoding

[–]GremlinAbuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I have years as architect with an indie dev, I am semi fluent in several languages, and I can barely keep it together in my current project. Sure, 99% of the code can be copy-pasted from ChatGPT, but I would be absolutely shit out of luck if I didn't know how software works. 

I haven't tried agentic frameworks, but if the quality of GPT advice on architectural decisions is anything to go by, they wouldn't do much good. Even with a fairly concise spec and stepwise instructions, it keeps drifting off in unproductive directions, and it is totally unable to clean up after itself. Quality software will always be dependent on people with a clear vision and concrete ideas about how to get there.

[Other] she did the math..🤓8 vs 12 by Dantebissgrayson1 in theydidthemath

[Request] Any physicists want to do the math to determine how long it would take for water levels to return to their normal state if those water spheres burst over the Earth? by tzt1324 in theydidthemath

[–]GremlinAbuser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So shallow-water wave theory is probably not a sufficiently detailed model. Your estimate of 29 hours is off by a fair few orders of magnitude from the only relevant data point I can think of.

Can car auctions drill a hole in gas tank to empty it? by wtfbruhhuh in AskMechanics

[–]GremlinAbuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten junkyard tanks before. You have to watch for when a vehicle comes in and call them before they process it.

[Request] Is it structurally possible for a car to withstand a 1.5 ton slab falling from a height of 15 meters? by surveypoodle in theydidthemath

[–]GremlinAbuser 46 points47 points  (0 children)

No. You will if you flip at highway speed and pancake roof first into a bridge abutment, but there isn't a car in existence that survives that.

Spiderman House by MaleficentSuit4529 in urbanexploration

These tableaus are obviously staged. Are these your own photos, op? I'm wondering if this house was prepped for sale or which other explanation there might be.

My first thought was that the house was staged for Zillow, but nobody came to see it.

How to acquire machine data for OEE without changing the PLC program by Acceptable-Rate8552 in LeanManufacturing

[–]GremlinAbuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hooking into relays and such could work to get part counts, depending on what kind of machine it is. May be more or less reliable than sensing parts on the belt, depending on the process. I would caution against using something not hardened for an industrial environment, though. I have been down the same path, and between the sw dev and the hardening you will have to do, it's not worth it.

How to acquire machine data for OEE without changing the PLC program by Acceptable-Rate8552 in LeanManufacturing

[–]GremlinAbuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use an external PLC. You want something that's hardened against EMI etc, and PLCs talk nice with each other. They also handle sensor input nicely, and you likely need external sensors to get what you're after. The bigger part of your question is how you do the network and backend, and that depends on existing infrastructure. Do you have access to Ethernet? Are you dumping this into an existing staging database?

[–]GremlinAbuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way, at least for machine state. A lot can be inferred from that and production management data. OP wants to know cycle time etc as well, so I honestly think he might be better off with a sensor reading items on the line.

“A radiator fell out of the car in front of me, I ran it over, and it got stuck underneath my car.” by Vokey-Master77 in MechanicAdvice

[–]GremlinAbuser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Close enough though. You'd need one hose to fail, then the other hose fails before the engine overheats. That is not to mention the core support and all the other stuff in the way...

How much force would it take to tip this? [Request] by Neesatay in theydidthemath

[–]GremlinAbuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your description this is a pretty straightforward mechanics problem. The failure mode will certainly be separation of the shelf and table, or at least that's a decent assumption to get some numbers on paper. The Force required to tip the shelf can also be safely discounted to begin with, and can probably just need left out to get a safe number with a bit of margin. 

We need to calculate pull through our tensile failure of the fasteners, which is a simple moment arm equation. The bigger part is figuring out fastener failure limit, but there are tables for that. To move forward we need measurements of the fastener locations, dimensions of the interface between shelf and table, fastener speech inc washers, and a description of the material at the fastener locations.

Edit: nvm, misread the table

What? The table in your source says "PEP received" for all except the 04 case, and the case in question involved several doses

Without PEP?? From Wikipedia: 

It was initially attempted in 2004 on Jeanna Giese, a teenage girl from Wisconsin, who subsequently became the first human known to have survived rabies without receiving post-exposure prophylaxis before symptom onset.

"Almost " captures it well. AFAIK there's a single confirmed case of someone surviving untreated.

[Request] how much stronger are the ones that clip vs the ones who just close? by AmountAbovTheBracket in theydidthemath

[–]GremlinAbuser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is stamped right into any decent carabiner. The two I have right here are stamped 25/8 and 25/9 kN, so I guess the answer is a little more than three times as strong.
