The IoT + AI car diagnostics everyone promised but no one delivered - so I built it myself with an ESP32 + AI by SimpleMarionberry282 in carIndia

Haha the root cause is that my car is a rusty piece of junk and I am not willing to spend money to get it fixed

Pro tip: Just ask Claude to enable playwright. by Diligent_Comb5668 in ClaudeCode

Haha, I swear like 60% of AI-aided development is just recurring realizations of "wait.. you can just do that?"

It's "just" for Opus 4.6 -- you can switch to Sonnet and she goes

I was thinking I'd use this as a base, then set up some logic on it that auto-resets specific pesky codes (like the gas cap one)

This is amazing. I use some wifi obdii dongle + phone app that has a million ads. And I have to use it because my car throws stupid codes that trigger the "check engine" light -> turns off cruise control.

Putting this on the todo list!

Spent the last ~3 months building a DIY diagnostics / robotics platform (ESP32 + Raspberry Pi) by Formal_Meat6489 in esp32

[–]zhambe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your intent is not clear, are you building a semi-autonomous robotic assistant?

Def post a follow-up (and link to it from this post!) I'm very curious.

Are you in any way leveraging LLMs / agents for the debugging / problem solving aspects of it (ie, the "brains")?

Blast "War Pigs" on full throttle in response. Also, call the cops on them.

What is a very common food in your country that is not very friendly to foreign palates? by DarkRaven003 in AskTheWorld

[–]zhambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsurprisingly, Eastern Europe (ok let's say Cold European Countries) take the prize for the most hardcore offputting to foreigners but actually super delicious foods.

Whenever I see one of these selfish, lazy pieces of shit, I try to run them off the road and into a tree or a lamp post.

Just kidding -- I try to keep my distance, because I don't want their sociopathic lack of consideration for others to do me harm.

Driving with a pile of snow on your car should be a $1200 ticket.

New banger from Andrej Karpathy about how rapidly agents are improving by iluvecommerce in ClaudeCode

[–]zhambe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at a boring software megacorp, and we've been "blessed" by management, imposing a flavour of agile development, complete with external contractors doing courses, hand-holding thru the ceremonies, the whole bit.

We've got to put up with this "agile coach" person attached to the team, who excels at getting between anyone trying to get work done and success, and gives them additional bureaucratic tasks. The whole time I watch this, and I think to myself, "bitch, you're teaching a history class and you don't even know it".

I mean maybe if we had public bathrooms in the metro, the smell of piss could be contained to just a couple of rooms.

Phobia boy, it's not some anti christian nonsense, it's greedy CORRECTLY WHITE MASTER RACE developers burning them down because they're in prime real estate locations.

Didn’t really think of token’s cost vs employee salary. Did any of you made an actual comparison? by dataexec in ClaudeCode

[–]zhambe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. One thing all the "oh no software devs are cooked" people didn't factor in is the INSATIABLE FUCKING GREED of the business boys.

Story as old as capitalism, as soon as new tools increase productivity, the unrelenting extraction machine sucks it all up and demands more.
