@zerohedge SoftBank is making this kind of move for a reason. Money at that scale does not go in blindly, and to me that is another sign AI is not just a bubble but a real long term shift.

@_trish_xD DIGITAL Command Language. I used to be a systems operator, worked on Alpha ES47. I wrote some scripts to FTP files around and manage print jobs.

@madietlx @S90079The Mostly an optical illusion. Half brightness because it's turning on and off really fast at half duty. Slow down pwm and you'll see it flicker.
However you can get 2.5v from pwm with filtering, that's the point of switching power supplies, DC to DC conversion!
English
So where I’m struggling: is this then just an optical illusion? The LED is actually 10% full brightness and 90% pitch black and my brain tells me: dimmed? 🫤
What would happen if I film it with some high speed camera. Would I see as described above or would I see a dimmed LED? 🤔
Because I assume the LED doesn’t even have the time to go to full brightness and back in this short amount of time
English
I'll be honest with you
I'm still trying to figure PWM out, to feel it intuitively, and not just accept it
I'm still having a hard time accepting that 5v being 50% OFF and 50% ON is exactly the same as having 2.5v
It works, my little experiment shows, but it's almost too easy
MARCELL@madietlx
Potentiometer + PWM Both new to me: > Potentiometer to get a reading of 0..1023 > PWM to send varying voltage to LEDs I guess that’s a classic hello world experiment when you go into analog? I still find it fascinating how PWM works: *is it just me*? (video(s) to drop later)

@yacineMTB It seems there is a use case where AI can genuinely mentor your understanding, but it's much much slower than using AI to build something well within your capabilities - where you can oneshot the architecture mentally and it's just doing the typing.
English
@yacineMTB I'm trying to do something a bit outside of my ability - quic protocol implementation. I mean it's not a super far stretch but it requires use of internals of TLS libraries.
I am letting my understanding lag a little, but frequently paying down the understanding debt.
English
I have come to the same conclusion. You can outsource your thinking but you cannot outsource your understanding

It may change, but there is no way you can do great stuff with AI assistant in programming if you are not yourself a seasoned programmer.

@thorstenball The genie is only useful for genie-native founders and personal side projects.
English
@thorstenball I don't mean nah as in protect my job, I mean nah as in the genie would be fired in like two seconds.
English
A genie appears.
It offers: never write another line of SQL again, never write a Bash script again, never write a Dockerfile again, never write a benchmark or an elaborate test again — it will all be done for you.
You say: nah, wouldn't make me more productive.

@Star_Knight12 Software returns to being a cost center instead of a profit center. It's fine.
English
@catalinmpit A lot of the improvements of transformer models over the past few years or so has been with tooling.
English
@catalinmpit It just happens with larger projects. It's still a net win. If nothing else to sanity check your own thought process. It's just not like omg 100x engineer coding is dead no one needs to work.
English
Lately, Claude makes some shocking mistakes.
⟶ Implements overly complex code
⟶ Ignores the codebase's code style
⟶ Removes working code for no reason
⟶ Replaces code that's out of scope from the task at hand
It feels like it needs 100% supervision. At this point, you're better off writing everything yourself.

@block_iv @HSVSphere Ehh apparmor became kinda more popular. It's usually on by default in most systems.
English
@HSVSphere Is selinux going extinct? Literally never hear it mentioned and it seems like an afterthought for many distros nowadays.

You all know that UNIX based systems have a really solid built in system of users, groups and permissions, right? You don't have to reinvent all of this stuff from scratch for AI agents
