… What?

Lazy people using tools in a shitty manner has been an age old problem.

This just lets it scale, which is the problem. There used to be a barrier to entry for those less knowledgeable or experienced, now there isn’t and that’s the result.

It is a productivity tool, and it’s being used as one, by both people that know how and people who don’t.

Point to me in your quote where it talks about distance.

Did you reply to the wrong comment because you’re quoting time, not distance?

So you tried to defeat someone else’s experience with an anecdote where you have not had that experience. What even are you trying to say here?

Lots of people’s cats have behaviors like this. Feeding them a certain amount on a fixed schedule helps. We have six cats. One of them is like this. It’s a pain in the ass.

Especially if you’re away from home

It seems very reasonable for owners of this device to expect something as simple as a schedule to work without having to phone home first.

As a software engineer, blows my mind how teams build shit like this

Ah yes, the classic “the stupid consumers are stupid” argument.

This was sold as being an offline-capable device. It even has battery slots for power outages.

Perhaps instead of shitting on people for buying something they thought would be nice and work well, we shit on the company that can’t even give a pet feeder an on-device offline schedule after selling people on a device that’s supposed to work offline and even during power outages.

And figure out how we can hack it and enable folks to control the hardware they own, because they weren’t stupid for buying a pet feeder. The company that runs it just does so in a moronic way.

(I don’t own one of these, but I have considered it a few times, and this just pisses me off)

Crazy that you need an API key to access data from private entities for data that is publicly funded.

Oh of course, I’m not arguing against solar. Just arguing against dumb takes.

Did you just strawman a fact with an anecdote and then completely get your second statement backwards?

Nuclear plants have to scale down their water output for ecological regulation reasons. Which means they have to restrict their inflow, which means they have to restrict their output capacity.

Oil industry wants you to think that nuclear there doesn’t work, not that it does. Oil and coal have been working against nuclear for an entire generation or more.

Not sure if joking or just ignorance? Both?

1. The nuclear capacity losses are because of environmental regulations, not because of inherent issues with nuclear.
   • Regulations restrict discharge of cooled water above 30°C into waterways, and they are responsible for the riverway temperature downstream of them. Since the waterways are warmer during a heat wave and the nuclear plant is responsible for the temperature of that waterway, they cannot discharge as much warm water into that waterway.
2. Solar doesn’t work at night, and sufficiently scalable energy storage technology doesn’t yet exist.
3. Solar loses considerable capacity as ambient temperature increases. At 40°C ambient, you’re talking about a 15% or higher reduction in efficiency. Which would be HIGHER than the ~12% reduction in nuclear capacity Europe hmis seeing

Our org is doing it better by just hiding the configuration from everyone else in the org, so no one can audit it anyways 🤦

Who knows how it’s configured.

Going to the doctor costs like $400-500

It’s insane

And It’s the corporation that runs the clinic that gets to see the benefits from that, not the doctors

Looks like a ChatGPT poster

They aren’t?

They are buying up capacity from manufacturers who are stopping production of DRAM and pivot to HBM which is more profitable. Abandoning DRAM which affects a lot more than just “consumer grade RAM”

Perhaps over video logs they send to each other periodically…

As usual folks are blind to second order effects.

Literally all knowledge and understanding requires memorization of some sort and the understanding of reality and prior information.

It is difficult to fathom the level of wrong in this comment.

Here’s the thing people who lack knowledge, critical thinking and understanding about the how the world works. Still form opinions and makes decisions as if they did have that knowledge and understanding. Which negatively affects everyone else.

32/35 students here did this. That’s a hell of a lot more than just “the bad ones”

32 out of 35 students is crazy…

91% Of students not only cheating with AI. But 91% being so unaware and unengaged that they’re not even checking the work or the answers.

We are so fucked

It’s only bike shedding if the people arguing over it don’t know enough about the topic to actually make cohesive arguments.

Things like how we name things and the grammar we use are quite important in cognitive psychology. And we can take advantage of research into cognitive psychology to better improve how we write software.
