ah reading comprehension... we're talking about the rpi4 here hmm.

The rpi5 has no audio jack, correct.

Sir how do I subscribe to your newsletter?

Well just to tack on, I've seen bad developers create mountains of bad code with these tools. Without these tools, the would be stuck writing it by hand and it would at least be shorter bad code.

Or perhaps they are just too prejudiced to see the reality? I'm an experienced embedded developer, currently working for a world class company making both very expensive and special systems (stuff has to be secure and precise) and also consumer level equipment. Vibe coding I am not. It's coding to a detailed spec. These tools allow me to produce significantly higher output at a higher quality level.

Higher quality??? Yes. How??? I'm not forced to make nearly as many design compromises - if I can specify the solution clearly enough, I can have it fairly quickly. This is a game changer, in terms of design agency. It's no longer as much about how difficult the change is, instead it's more of "choose the right design and have a nice day."

That said, these tools also make it trivial to produce volumes of the most vile garbage. So some practice, learning, and discipline is needed.

Reminds me of Harvey Wiley and his "Poison Squad" experiments, where volunteers ingested common food additives to test their safety, back in the early 1900s, when we were commonly cutting food with non-food items (it's not good to eat things that aren't food).

Yeah they got sick unfortunately. But the did it for a very good cause - everyone's health.

One of the primary use cases for these tools are to be an internet troll.

But my preferred use case today is to automate completion of mandatory corporate training, using the corporate API tokens. Win win.

To me, this is like half of the problem right now, standard auto high beams. Someone smashed the lights on my co-worker's Tesla, and I feel for him because they are crazy expensive... but I fantasize about smashing them every single day that I go outside in the city during the daytime.

I live in Seattle where it is overcast a lot, so it's auto high beams all day long. I get up and go for a walk every morning, in a nice suburb with wide winding roads with huge bike lanes, and I get blinded by high beams about every 5 minutes. It's the daytime - not nighttime even. It's wrong.

In my imagination, I think he's just kidding.

Hmm, Luckyo, have you ever tried secret sauce? I think here it's in the "thermal bricks". Or maybe it's not all that secret. Humans commonly store co2 in liquid form in steel tanks. Or am I missing something?

That is surprising! (at least to me)

I wonder how to reconcile that with the observational studies showing a link between frequent sauna use and reduced incidences of Alzheimers? Heat-shock proteins and all that... hmm...

Yeah I was thinking this too.

If so, then this is a neat living example of the "sauna use protects against dementia" hypothesis.

Hmm... I play that piece on the piano sometimes. Bach is my favorite. I'll try it on a guitar, thanks.

Ah thanks.
