When the cost to generate new code has become so cheap,and the cost of devs maintaining code they didn’t write gets higher. There’s a huge shift happening to just throw out the code and regenerate it instead. Next year will be the find out phase, where the massive decline in code quality catches up with big projects.

I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week’s date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.

The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere

Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.

I prefer the time weed made it into them https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/29/haribo-recalls-sweets-in-the-netherlands-after-traces-of-cannabis-found

Geez, you’ve eaten so many chemicals, that’s all you are made up of now

What should we call our service so people are clear it’s free of American influence… Hmmm ‘America On Line’

When a daddy senior dev op and a mummy senior dev op love each other very much…

But it’s the opposite in NZ and Aus, we pay more when converted back to USD while the spending power is much less.

They are trying to bring Thorn back for some reason https://youtu.be/wJxKyh9e5_A

Why wouldn’t the grid do this on an industrial scale and remove any off peak discounts?

Suzuki Jimny, still comes in a very basic electrical system

It’s fing awful when you are hiring too, it makes me nauseous

I’ve still got the last good plasma TV. Power usage is horrible but the picture is great.

They stopped selling them in NZ years ago, I have a grey market mk6 and it works fine here and in the US

We have it hidden in the letterbox. The mobile app has a Bluetooth beacon setting where you can have it report either specified beacons to HA, or all of them and you can filter for the ones you want at that end.

The automation looks for the beacon to be reported from either of 2 devices and then switches the lights on, quite basic.

We have a separate automation that turns the scanning for beacons setting in the phone app on at dusk and off at 3am. And another that turns the garden lights off after 10 min triggered by them being switched on

Yes we have several of the AthomTech ones that ship with Esphome. There’s a power loss setting on them “on, off, as before”

Yeah we use it with home assistant, and Bluetooth beacons to turn on the garden lights when we get home, and turn on interior lights if neither of us are marked as home. Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm. Also the person detection camera only alerts us if we aren’t home.

Is that necessary for plastic? The name comes from the Greek for “to mould”. For me, anything that makes long chain mouldable polymers is a plastic. Milk makes Casein or Galalith plastic, PLA is commonly made of corn. There’s a ton of bamboo fabrics that are essentially nylon made from cellulose.

There’s a lot of sodium in most fizzy drinks, wonder if that rules them out for this. Or does it have to be sodium chloride specifically?
