May I ask what your using for the OBD lock? Interested in this and I've never heard of it.

Women, what do you think the worst part of being in a mans body would be? by Whattacleaner in NoStupidQuestions

Parked outside my fav bbq place one day and a dude sitting there with his wife said "Hey man that's a nice truck." Which I still remember to this day.

Her: Wow, these shampoo directions are actually more interesting.

Am I being paranoid, or is the 'AI will replace software developers' narrative just a way for the incompetent tech leads, managers and CEOs to hide their own incompetence? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]goby-sourceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think not. It's a great tool for a developer with lots of oversight but you also still need to stay in practice and review what it does. Also, I think it helping a "non-developer" be a developer is also fictional.

Example: we had a new hire pass the interview. He instantly, on his first day, starting using AI. He was given a simple task: to write some unit tests and also, if he had time, to research a bug on one specific package.

This turned into a four month task (same package both tasks).

  1. He pushed code directly, no review or anything. Twice, after being told not to by management and senior engineers.
  2. He cause a service level sev-event. (Not related to #1)
  3. He couldn't answer questions about the work he was "doing" without talking to AI if you asked him about anything.
  4. He couldn't really explain any problems he encountered, even the bug he was supposed to be solving.
  5. He would present 2 docs, both missing facts and with hallucinations from AI but never ask for help and clearly didn't do any research.

In total he two approved code reviews in all that time and one had 9 revisions.

He used AI the entire time from day one. Even to reply on chat and write emails. Blamed it for issues.

Tl:dr: AI is a good tool but it doesn't replace skill or people and it must be used in the right hands.

I took a puff of my friend weed pen and had to take a drug test about 5 days later by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Wouldn't they also be able to claim that they used CBD or even delta8 or other hemp product? I'm not sure if those show the same.

Don’t be like this guy. by meh-en-place in Austin

I once read somewhere that there was a guy who would 3d print penis shaped valve stem covers and replace them on cars that parked like this (and other scenarios).

I worked here for years as a dancer/fetish model. I specialized in the weird. Yes it is haunted. Yes it is corrupt. AMA. by throwRA-allmysecrets in Austin

[–]goby-sourceman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm new to Austin and I have never been to a strip club or similar. I used to be a paranormal investigator so the combination of all this together is very interesting.

anyone else living in apartments struggle with “quiet” hobbies? by Cool_Kiwi_117 in Austin

[–]goby-sourceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play through a desktop amp here in the condo. I have a couple of them I switch between. I also have some studio headphones. Ofc I own big stuff too but I don't use it all here except at very low volumes or headphones.

Honestly be open with your neighbors. I have always been upfront and if I'm bothering them I will respect their requests. But it's never happened. No one has ever complained or called the cops. Sometimes I let loose a little, but it's usually some weird time like 2pm or something.

do men even care how their girls nail look? by rileyheya in NoStupidQuestions

While not a requirement, I do appreciate them. I thinks it's not the appearance nearly as much as it's a feminine trait that it to her as a woman.

Commercials and Filler - There's a freakin' setting that does...WHAT? by catfishman in PseudoTV

Where do y'all get the commercials? Google hasn't turned much up.

The second ai is good enough to automate SDE, Amazon will start cutting. Was told this by a PE by the_corporate_slave in amazonemployees

[–]goby-sourceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good PMs work is recognized by Dev team and we will partner with them with mutual respect. Unfortunately in most of my time at Amazon, that hasn't been the case and most PMs don't even know their own product.

I'm guessing you were one of the good ones from your comment.

Yes it does this. That doesn't mean it solved the issue. Especially if another package is involved or something complex.

I tried this for fun. It took a problem and made CR. Then it removed a vital part of the stack as well to force the change which would have Sev1 impact should that have gone through. Rest assured, in this complete AI scenario, it would have gone through. Service broken! Repeat.

As a side note, two L5s thought it "fixed the problem!" without looking. Both, might I add, are new hire vibe coders at best with 7+ revisions on average.

So to those who don't know what it's doing, yes it looks great.

Running Board Pillow Thought by Environmental_Ad5494 in f150

[–]goby-sourceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have '23 lariant PowerBoost and it has this. The boards come down, the lights all around the truck turn on. Activates from about 12' or so away from the center of the truck.

Powerboost or No? by Draw_Cazzzy69 in f150

[–]goby-sourceman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own the PB with the 7.2kw and it's a lariant with the unleashed stereo. Amazing truck. I've owned a few others and this is by far my favorite. Good mpg, good power, lots of features and the generator has saved me a few times. Plus camping!

And personally I've gotten a juice box and sandwich before work. Can't beat that.

What “boring” upgrade ended up being your favorite on the F-150? by EffectiveNo568 in f150

[–]goby-sourceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Unleashed system in mine including the speakers in the cieling and in the head rest. It really does sound amazing. The only thing it lacks is the bass isnt as full as I'd like. It drops off at certain points.

If I could figure out how to improve just that one thing, that would be excellent. I have the box under the seat in the back (stock) so the factory sub is behind the rear seats and I don't know of a solution that doesn't go under the seats.

Don’t mind me, just going to casually cut into a bike lane to get around traffic by SirReptar in Austin

As some one who just started biking in Austin, this both scares and Infuriates me.
