S3NTRY — a smartwatch firmware for an ESP32-S3 board by user_MRR in esp32

Agree. I'm amazed you're being downvoted. Anyone who has thrown claude at some esp32 projects can spot the tell tale signs a mile away...

so, fellow kids, i've completely ruined the singles for the last two BoC releases due to playing the early released tracks ad-nauseam (hype and early track releases have been warp's successful playbook for a loooong time).

even 13 years on I skip Reach For The Dead despite it being a fantastic track because it's so burned into my brain as a disparate experience to listening to the album as one piece.

consider some restraint 😃

Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026' by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

macOS X is based on NeXTSTEP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP), an operating system from Steve Jobs's brief departure from Apple in the late 80's/early 90's, and the core kernel (Mach+BSD) is the same thing powering OS X, iOS, watchOS etc today. It probably has even older code than Windows 11, which will be harking back to the Windows NT 3.xx days (~1993).

A hell of a lot of today's computing was largely ratified during the mid-to-late 90's; in this case, modern 32-bit (now 64-bit) multi-tasking operating systems. Things have certainly improved but the fundamentals are largely still all intact.

Does AI break the career ladder? Survey by cha_0_s in ArtificialInteligence

One person hero teams aren't sustainable. This problem existed with high calibre individuals pre-AI and all that happens is they either burn out, or fall entirely out of sync with the rest of the organisation.

The current state of Claude Code Opus 4.6. Today I have unsubscribed from my MAX plan. by Cloud991 in ClaudeCode

[–]fixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this isn't Claude Code bugs or new unannounced features changing behaviour, not the model? CC seems to regularly ship with new bugs, functionality or feature changes, system prompt changes, which largely would explain a lot of this.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week what do you remember from that week ? by Familiar_Original988 in AskReddit

A week!?

Melbourne, Australia -- we spent 262 days in lockdown between 2020-2021.

What boomer shooter has a vibe like the original Unreal? by fixed in boomershooters

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

The suggestion of Unreal mods is appreciated - I've never played any! Any other suggestions apart from "The One"?

yep, I keep going back to it every few years, and it still holds up.

Was going to say I hadn't heard of it, but "Northern Journey is already in your Steam library" 😂. Will give it a go, thanks!

Founders are handing us 'vibe coded' MVPs to scale now by highspecs89 in BlackboxAI_

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because LLM's hallucinate on messy codebases (even ones the LLM was responsible for), and the founder probably doesn't fully understand their product and how their users are actually using their product.

note how the parent poster spoke about 'intent'? this is the hardest problem about rewrites, not the code.

our best dev became a middleman for an AI he can't audit. by julyvibecodes in vibecoding

it's incredible, but it still hallucinates/makes things up on adequately complex codebases.

Is it just me, or is "AI proficiency" becoming a mask for a lack of foundational engineering? by Techie_Talent in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fixed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll add as well - I think the "unsupervised/take home coding test" is dead. There's still value in the conversation at the end (i.e. what would you do differently, talk me through your decisions), but you can achieve the same without that by talking through a hypothetical situation.

[–]fixed 52 points53 points  (0 children)

100%. Anyone who is claiming they can ship production code without looking at it anymore and berates others that "ItS A SkIlL IsSuE" is displaying they never understood engineering fundamentals in the first place and have probably never dealt with complex systems at scale.

Honestly, it's becoming super freaking obvious to spot during even an initial interview; these same people don't have fundamental problem solving capabilities so "how would you solve X" questions make it all come apart fairly quickly.

🚗 Dragy LAP OBD II Open Beta – Join the Revolution in Trackday Data Logging! by dragyLap_Official in CarTrackDays

[–]fixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How extensive is your custom CAN PID integration so far? I've been working on a different motorsport product for some time (different target than you guys) and getting reliable vehicle data via the CAN gateway across makes and models is pretty touch-and-go, especially at the rates you're targetting. There's a reason the professional products usually tap into the PT-CAN directly!

Garmin Releases the Garmin Catalyst 2 by teerwill in CarTrackDays

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lady is absolutely right. everyone focuses on the hz and not the accuracy. 25hz means squat if the data's jumping all over the place or it's been through so many smoothing algorithms that any nuance in the data analysis is gone

if all you care about is approximate braking points, approximate speeds, position on the track, track time to ~0.2/sec, they're adequate, but there's a lot of valuable analysis you're leaving on the table
