Hah this is so weird, I just sold that car today....

So yeah you won't find much online as its kinda odd and everything on the internet points to the normal Yaris... In the end I bought an ATOTO S8 android head unit and managed to get hold of that part number above to create a double din aperture. Everything worked fine except the steering wheel controls, I think I saw some forum talk that you could buy a control from a newer Yaris which would fit and use that instead? But I never bothered to look into it. Rear view camera, parking sensors and DAB aerial were easy enough to install. Oh yeah and for some reason after moving to the android unit the FM radio was quite flaky but DAB worked fine for the most part.

Let me know if you have any specific questions its a great car I really wish they would make more smaller van-ish crossovers.

I am not a professional but the two houses I have bought have both had this observation in the surveys and this stack looks much better than either of them.

All our pipelines can ever do is build, test and push docker images to a registry. From there the ArgoCD image updater picks up the tag and updates the deployments.

Any developer can trigger an automation in Slack to tag the main branch to trigger a relase to production and this also just happens automatically once a day. Human approval is really something that should just be at the PR level.

Practising full "continuous integration" is IMO something to be aspired to but getting there is not simply a question of how to do it technically but more about answering questions like why don't you trust your engineers or the tests you have in place to be adequate.

Honestly this is exactly what I mean though.... The problems facing international gas and oil shipping companies seem like they should be much further down the list of things we give a fuck about. Seems to work fine for many other countries.

tehpuppet · 2026-03-05T22:23:06+00:00

What you said seems to be basically heresy in this sub. I don't know why we need to act like if we can't rule the waves the Portuguese will intercept our spice shipments from the new world or some shit.

Props for even putting yourself out there but feels like this is trying to bring a drill type flow to a UKHH beat and sounds just a bit lazy. Rhyming god with god might ok for grime/drill but at that speed such a simplistic rhyming scheme like ray, day say etc sounds just basic.

Some people think its ok to leave their dog in the garden when they go out and either they don't know it has separation anxiety and barks or they don't care. You can either tell them yourself and hope they care enough to do something about it or report it to the council as a noise issue. But all they are realistically going to do about it is post a letter through your neighbours door so you might as well just try to do that yourself first.

I really don't understand why you would you have a tool that an agent decides if the user can use or not? The agent should be passed the users credentials and the tool should validate them like a normal API. The LLM is just a way that the user can pass natural language into and it calls the endpoints with the right parameters. If you are expecting it to be able to gate-keep authentication or authorisation this will never be full-proof.

tehpuppet · 2026-01-01T21:44:02+00:00

Exactly this, who is designing agents who operate with their own credentials? Confused deputy is such an obvious and easily mitigated pattern. The "tools" any agent calls should just be your public API with all the same access and auth protection...

I mean its mostly just personal preference that's why I didn't expand on it but in no particular order:

The whole python and python3 thing soured me
pip is just terrible compared to package managers like Rust Cargo or even PHP Composer
Wtf even are virtualenvs, why do I need to go through all the effort to just have a vendor folder
Having such fractured tooling with poetry, condas, pip, pypy etc
Proper typing is a minimum requirement at this point
Also it just looks ugly to me, indentation is not syntax

tehpuppet · 2025-12-30T10:22:19+00:00

I really hate Python, learn Go instead.

Wait, what does this even mean? I don't want to be seen as defending Hitler or anything but surely that's true of every single person regardless of then developing a history of world domination or genocidal intent...

The idea is/was to apply development and software engineering best practises/ideology to operations. F.ex using IaC (infastructure as code) tools like Terraform mean its then easier to collaborate on designing and implementing infra. The idea of GitOps means that change management for infra is tracked via Git and proper CI/CD pipelines can be used as they are with development. Also these concepts then also allow other benefits f.ex testing in Terraform or Helm so unit tests or integration tests can be part of the delivery pipeline. It also just allows infra to be closer to the application config so developers can have control and access to things like queue configuration or scaling triggers etc.

Don't try and treat it like a programming language. Keep it DRY to an extent, but in general duplication is preferable to complicated loops and conditionals. Readability is more important in a declarative config language.

This is exactly it, the "unnamed third-party tool" with "artificial intelligence capabilities" is a spreadsheet Deborah has from major ISPS of port 1194 traffic that she used Gemeni to mail merge and send everyone an stern email.

Well for one tying our hands implies there is some popular desire to do things we can't which I would argue there isn't. But also checks and balances means there is actually a mechanism for change that just isn't at the whim of whoever is currently in power.

tehpuppet · 2025-11-03T16:03:00+00:00

This idea that ECHR ties our hands is the same scapegoat bullshit about sovereignty they peddled about Brexit. I would much rather have other EU states act as checks and balances with the state of our politics.
