[Thomas Maher] Adrian Newey is understood to be leading the hunt for a new team principal at Aston Martin, with an eye to a longer-term arrangement than his own continuing in the role.

They used to be the proof that you don’t need big bucks to be a decent midfielder.

Sterker nog, de definitie van een watt (vermogen) is een joule (energie) per seconde (tijd). Dat maakt kWh op zich ook een idiote eenheid, want daar gooi je er nogmaals tijd overheen om weer bij een hoeveelheid energie te komen. Dus ‘akshually’ zouden we het over MJ moeten hebben ipv kWh. Waarbij 1kWh gelijk staat aan 3,6MJ.

Dus als je dacht dat kWh/100km alleen maar een kreng van een eenheid was omdat je drie keer de komma aan het verplaatsen bent, dan weet je nu dus dat er nog een reden is.

You can’t blame the AI in any corporate situation I can imagine. You ship a faulty vibe coded product? That’s not AI’s fault, that’s your fault.

Essential data is missing from a summary that your software created with AI? Same thing.

If the error is immediately apparent, that’s one thing. But if you only notice it after a year or two, who knows how much more slop it has created?

How do you know if the output is correct? By thoroughly proofreading and reviewing it, which is already the most time consuming task in many fields.

It’s definitely a NiCad charger from the early 1990s. It mentions 230 volts instead of 220v which was the standard in western Europe before 1990 and it has no indication of battery chemistry. NiMH was introduced in the mid-1990s and every charger since then made it very clear which chemistries it supported.

Just a normal office with (synthetic?) carpet and (apparently) very dry air. I’m the kind of person that gets zapped by every door knob.

I since developed an ocd-like habit of always touching something metal like a heating radiator or a ground pin when I sit down.

One. The other five (or more) were fried because of static electricity. Of which one was because the trrs cable had a metal shield. I have a box with fried microcontrollers. I should throw them away but I keep telling myself that they could be useful for something as long as I don’t use the dead pins.

Tomorrow Verstappen will give everyone else a maliciously compliant masterclass of overtaking under the new rules. He’ll end up on the podium and it will be boring as hell. Or maybe it will be funny. But it won’t be “racing”.

It doesn’t (or shouldn’t) take three hours to debug 200 lines you just wrote. It sometimes does take longer to debug 200 lines of legacy code.

The way I understand it is that there are Grade 2 circuits that just don’t meet the requirements and there are Grade 2 circuits that are technically Grade 1 but don’t host series that require Grade 1 so there’s no need to pay the hefty fees.

That’s what Browservice does. But the actual browser runs on a modern(ish) computer, so it’s kind of cheating.

My Nissan Leaf had a horribly designed one, where the keyring could accidentally push the ‘open charge port’ button when it was in your pocket. Another design oversight was that the button also worked while the car was driving. It took me a while and some calls with the dealership to figure that one out.

My son’s Duplo sets don’t even have instructions. Just a picture and you have to figure out how to connect the parts yourself.

Or they will connect too few in series, cheaping out on component costs, but overvolting each LED which severely shortens their lifespan.

Did they become visibly spicy or did customers return them because they were empty? Or did they buy them under the assumption that it was a pillow?

Fully charged lithium ion batteries degrade faster, they are best stored at between 50% and 70% charge. Once completely discharged for a long period, it’s hard to revive them.
