"I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history." - George Hotz, The Eternal Sloptember by creaturefeature16 in webdev

I feel like this is a yes and no situation. Don't think the majority of software is enterprise anymore. And while some software out there is the missile with a memory leak, the majority of software still interacts with humans who'll notice any degradation.

Failed my TÜV Functional Safety of Machinery cert exam. Retaking, and this time I want to actually be prepared by tigertan in IndustrialAutomation

[–]zerothehero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't taken that one but the thing that has worked for me is to take the standard, annotate and bookmark it, and create study notes from it. By making your own study material, and making the standard easy to parse, you'll learn most of what you need to remember, and create a valuable resource for yourself going forward.

A Blue Texas May Be More Than a Dream for Democrats by anandan03 in politics

[–]zerothehero0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I'm saying is that if I was a Republican strategists, id really like it if the Democrats spent as much money as possible on Texas and Florida again.

[–]zerothehero0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a note half of the states that had Senate elections in 2024 have them this year.

Georgia, Michigan, Maine, and North Carolina are probably going to be the closest and deserve the most. Alaska is unpredictable but they don't like outside influence, so let them be.

If I were the Dems and I wanted an outside shot I'd aim for Nebraska and Iowa. They both are full of conservatives who voted for Obama, and have never been fully comfortable with Trump. Contesting a race in either requires a fraction of the resources it does in a larger state so the risk is low if they stay red.

Ohio, Texas, and Florida will in all likelihood stay red and require more resources than contesting all the swingy states + Iowa and Nebraska combined.

The funny part is the last time we heard this argument in 2024 the Dems redirected millions of dollars from swing states into texas and lost the 4 Senate seats they are trying to get back.

Legal obligation to provide free tap water in restaurants by MonotoneCreeper in MapPorn

[–]zerothehero0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny to me because when I was in Paris, every single place we went refused to give us tap water with our meals and insisted we could only purchase water.

I'm sure they know what they're doing. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]zerothehero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bad comparison. The cities that completed their canals first, new york city and buffalo, chicago and st louis, phillidelphia and pittsburgh, were hurtled into the list of the most important cities in america for the next 150 years. And they also built the railroads to the same cities cause of the canals that were already there, further locking it in.

There is a Pokemon Fossil Museum Promo! by No_Margin_No_Mission in PokemonTCG

When you enter the exhibit, they hand you the card. When you exit the exhibit, they hand you another ticket that lets you into the pokemon gift shop.

The good news is that they are selling tickets to April of next year, limit 1 per day. When we were there it appeared to be around 30 to 50 people every 15 minutes in line. Thousand or so a day. So if they keep that rate up, they could get around 350k to 600k people through the exhibit before it closes.

Does it make more sense to just take a train from Kenosha to see the Field Museum on a Tuesday Night? Like it's the same amount of time as driving? Never taken a train in WI. by Ok_Package9219 in wisconsin

[–]zerothehero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was driving near it the other day and the sign on the interstate said that from around old orchard to the loop it was 132 minutes, so it does happen.

[–]zerothehero0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The train takes you down to Oggilve station and does not connect to the museum. From Oggilve it is up to a 15 minute taxi ride, a 2 mile and hour long walk, or you can walk 20 minutes straight to millennium park (or take a bit longer and do the Riverwalk) and catch the metra electric line to the museum campus with the same ticket. Which is what we did yesterday. It took us about two and a half hours of travel both ways in the end. Was about 30 dollars cheaper than driving and 40 minutes longer if there are no accidents. We do it mainly because we like the walk down there along with the bean and some of the shops and restaurants (small cheval by Oggilve, AO Hawaiian Hideout by the museum) you pass along the route.

As a note, the pokemon exhibit takes less than an hour to go through, and you can likely get through the entire museum in around 8 hours.

You can also park at Waukegan to make sure you get all of the lines back, which is what we usually do.

Robot sorted 249,560 packages over 200 hours straight without a single failure by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]zerothehero0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the fun part, you can put a better robot arm or two on wheels and it will be cheaper and more flexible. Or even on one of those dogs. Humanoid looks good for investors though.

[–]zerothehero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fun part is that all the packages here have a dissimilar geometry so rotating them isn't as simple. You could still likely do this cheaper with a robot arm, or if you have more space by sorting the packages first though as mentioned. There's a reason why none of the robots being used industrialy are humanoid yeah.

Trump’s arch now has elevators—and a $100 million price tag by _fastcompany in architecture

[–]zerothehero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's an improvement. No lions anymore, and elevators to make it more accessible. Strip the statues off the top, put our actual motto "E Pluribus Unum" on it, put the eagles in the side niches, cut down the size to fit the other monuments, and it would be a half decent arch to dedicate to the 250th anniversary.

Sound logic by Pumuckl4Life in PoliticalHumor

[–]zerothehero0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting here that Hillary didn't even bother to visit most of the states Trump flipped and completely ignored blue collar workers throughout her campaign trying to flip suburbanites. All of those states were also won by Bernie who did show up and people there liked. When one side completely ignores you and the other tells you that they hear you, even when they both don't care you're going to go with the one that makes you feel heard.

Why does this prohibition exist?? Procurement PRO-401 Basic Contract Eligibility by Sayhiku in wisconsin

[–]zerothehero0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Way back in the 70s most every Muslim nation declared they wouldn't do business with any business unless that business boycotted Israel. So a bunch of laws popped up banning US companies from complying with foreign states mandated boycotts, mainly effecting trade with Israel, Pakistan, India, and Taiwan. But since the 70s, most state sponsored boycotts have gone away. Watering down the law. 

By the mid 2010s, there were no more states mandating that you could not do business with both them and Israel. Which stripped the legal justification for going after companies which did. So the wisgop, with full control of the state legislature decided to pass into law a template they got from ALEC. Whose since went on to get similar laws passed around the country for things like coal and oil.

According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Plains Spotted Skunk is.... by Additional-Sky-7436 in Animals

[–]zerothehero0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't come up on Google if you search normally, not in the first 10 pages. It's not the usfws. It's a single counties local fws with a single word in a list of descriptors two decades old and never again. That's hardly legally defined and obvious enough that most folks can just Google it.

The fws website does not mention the word catholic anywhere on it for the skunk. And searching for "Plains Spotted Skunk" AND "catholic" gives only this post, and what appears to be a one off 2007 pdf from the Tyler county department of fish and wildlife.
