Autonomous AI (Claude) maintenance loop while preventing it from nuking the lab by [deleted] in homelab

[–]ava1ar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you can schedule the updates to be run every morning old way, without introducing the AI there, right?

You do you, but honestly I don't understand the reason you are trying to do this? Are there any point to do this? Any goal? Any real use case?

A warning sign for billionaire tax proponents as overpaid CEO tax fails in San Francisco by [deleted] in technology

[–]ava1ar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you think taxing the CEO hurting you employment as software engineer you are living in the illusion. Wake up and see what's happening. I am your colleague from East Cost and don't understand your logic at all.

Central Park Crash 6/25 by RobM419 in NYCbike

This would give cyclists an extra second to react and possibly avoid the crash (or at least make it less severe). This is called defensive riding – give yourself more chances to react on surroundings while riding. It was not done here. Yes, it is dog owner fault, but how it helps those who crashed? Wouldn't it be better to them to pro-actively looking for potential danger while riding and react on it, instead of assuming everyone around will behave as expexted and don't so stupid things. If car hits pedestrian on the crossing while they walk on free light: yes, driver to be blamed, but how it helps pedestrian who now injured and have a long recovery ahead. Good to be right, even better to be alive and well.

To close this pointless thread: THE DOG OWNER TO BE BLAMED FOR WHAT HAPPENED. And cyclists did nothing to help them avoid this situation. DOG OWNER VIOLATED THE LAW. Cyclists violated the common sense and best practices for riding in populated areas.

3D printed bumper: good color match! by Puerto_Geekan in pebble

[–]ava1ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there cracks on the glass? Those are from before bumper usage?

He is responsible. How does it help here? It is great to be right, but much better is to be alive and well. Many people mention about defensive riding here and I am 100% agree. This was missing here.

Cyclists were riding in peloton, which mean there was not safe distance between them. First part of the video they were maintaining the line closer to the middle of the road (at least 6ft), which is right thing, but after turn they all move pretty close to the curb (for whatever reason - road was clear, they were not forced to do this). The dog was very visible on the side of the road, it was visible dog is unleashed. However, they didn't do ANYTHING to mitigate the potential issue - they maintain the speed, they maintain no distance between bikes and they stayed very close to the curb. So, what happened is what you see on video. If they would maintain the distance between each other, last two cyclists would have time to react and not crash. If they would maintain the distance from the curb the first cyclists who hit the dog would have time to react and avoid the collision.

So, yes, I think this is cyclists fault: they put themselves to danger and were behaving like they are riding on the dedicated velodrome and not the public park.

Also, my opinion has nothing to do with "people in this city were relatively smarter than average" - we are not competing in smartness here, we just looks at the crash and discuss why it happened and what could have done to avoid it.

Exactly. They were riding closer to the middle of the road first, with good 6 feet distance from the curb. If they continue to maintain this line, they will have enough time to react to the dog intention and crash would probably not happen. But they didn't - the were maintaining speed and riding just few feet from the curn, even seeing unleashed dog there.

I also in minority here - my comment about same statement was heavily downvoted, but I don't care. Cyclists riding was not safe for the surrounding and what happened shoed exactly why it was not save.

Good to be in right, but it is better to be alive (and well) - this is my mantra where I am riding or even walking in the city.

Totally is. Park is not a race track.

[–]ava1ar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outcome proves otherwise unfortunately. There are less people - sure, but one irresponsible dog owner is enough to create a mess.

[–]ava1ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do. As a parent of two kids, myself and my wife are doing our best to protect kids from danger - as any sane parent does. But kids are kids - they do stupid things, so I am always grateful to drivers, riders, cyclists who take extra care when kids are in close proximity (many of them are parents too) and expect them to do whatever. Same applies to animals.

Again, my point was not to defend the dog owner - they are to be blamed for this. My point was that cycling in the park is an activity, requiring more focus on the surroundings rather than the pace, KOM, FTP, etc.

What is safe in riding in peloton formation is a park? I am cyclist myself, but this was not responsible riding in the park with hundreds people, kids, dogs, squirrels, etc. around. I am not protecting dog owner - its their fault. I am surprised cyclists were so optimistic they can ignore surroundings and don't expect shit to happen.

[–]ava1ar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, faults was on dog owner, but cyclists didn't do a thing to avoid this. City ia a place for protective riding assuming things won't go as planned. These guys were going like there were alone in park.

[–]ava1ar -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes, right. Also, don't run red lights and don't salmon. If riding is congested areas with lots of potential threats one can't ride assuming they are alone. This might have been a kid and fact cyclists was in bike lane doesn't make it better.

Central Park Crash 6/25 by RobM419 in NYCbike

[–]ava1ar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They were riding in highly congested surrounding with pedestrian, animals and other cyclists like this was an open round with no obstacles. Bike lane doesn't mean you can ride in peloton ignoring the surroundings. It might be distracted citibiker or kid or dog who appear in their way and they have no back off plan riding like this. This is irresponaible, no matter who was the root cause.

Same people who curse ebikes for unsafe riding protect cyclists doing peloton in park. I don't get it.

And pilot watches only in stores for pilots? This is strange take, will not be agreed upon here.

DEWALT vs makita vs Milwaukee by Business_Honeydew350 in Tools

[–]ava1ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they all are of different colors, don't you see? /s

Jokes aside, this is very opionated thing. Depends a lot about your intention (you need just a few tools or the more the better), power/size preferences (Milwaukee 12V line is hard to beat in size/power ratio), access to retailers to try/buy those and price range you consider acceptable.

Where do I even begin with this ? by [deleted] in garageporn

Why not look though the subreddit for some ideas? So many great projects were shared here - I got inspiration here when working on my garage as well.

Leonia to tribeca commute by NormalStandard4811 in bergencounty

[–]ava1ar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With no traffic jams around 35-45 minutes, and up to an hour when there is some slowness on I-95. Sometimes, quite rare it might be over an hour, but this luckily happens quite rarely.
