This.

Also, one of the machines is running the git plugin, so things get saved in my Forgejo as well. I guess I could set it up so they save to hit, but in different branches. 🤔

Fair, but it's also just a way of saying that programming isn't a task for humans. (At least not in the correctness aspect)

Could also be a capital thing, which is why I'm curious. Cycling some of our streets here in Stockholm is definitely like, "oh, you had the idea to fit that thing in here" at all the drivers.

It'd be interesting to see it by weight of those cars. My impression is that Italy has a lot of really small cars, while we here in Sweden have a lot of the US-style Emotional Support Vehicles

"Thanks for sharing your story, which nobody knew to ask for", perhaps?

The second part sounds like a thing phones should already be capable of, if it weren't for trying to charge for something. Or snoop on me. Or something worse I just haven't thought of.

Enshittification is such a downer. Oh, well, guillotines will fix it eventually, I guess.

So close! Get one that does poached eggs. It's basically like an ice-cube tray, but the cells are bigger so they fit a whole egg. Only downside is that you need to be quite precise when filling the water. (We use a kitchen scale and measure it to the gram, but it's perfect every time)

The exact model we have is the Cuisinart CEC-10, but I'm sure there are others.

This. So much this.

I'm a member of Sveriges Ingenjörer. Fortunately, I've never needed serious union help, but it's probably because the background threat is more than enough. And the salary statistics alone are worth the dues!

Axioms are not like the others, they're assumed to be true even before considering any evidence or even arguments.

Yesss... You're not wrong, but I really do believe the solution we want is to be found somewhere in that direction. Considering the Google graveyard, the faang crowd isn't all that reliable either.

This is a somewhat surprising position to see in the fediverse...

(I mean, I get what you're saying, and I guess someone should bring that to the party, but there is s different way)

Sounds reasonable, but a lot of recent advances come from being able to let the machine train against itself, or a twin / opponent without human involvement.

As an example of just running the thing itself, consider a neural network given the objective of re-creating its input with a narrow layer in the middle. This forces a narrower description (eg age/sex/race/facing left or right/whatever) of the feature space.

Another is GAN, where you run fake vs spot-the-fake until it gets good.
