Using Warp terminal, it actually nice for a non-admin to ask questions to Claude and get some really helpful work.

I do not know every in and out of Linux server config, my day job doesn't depend on that I do. So I can connect up, ask Claude, "is this service running?" or " My plex server isn't responding, can we run some diagnostics?"

Is it perfect? No, is it better than me? Oh god yes. Is my system a mission critical server? Not in the slightest.

But its fun, I actually can get a working docker server, a secure ssh client, mailcow, plex, jellyfin, factorio....hell what else can I load. If I run into issues I ask Claude, and it can step me thru the correction, or just do it.

It has no idea what I want to do, it has no idea my end goal, but I say conquer that hill, its been doing it's best to do it. The campaign it doesn't know or care. Perfect little helper.

I don't have a subscription to Warp's services yet. They give a limited amount of tokens to Claude monthly, which seems fine to me. Only had 1 month run out. Which for non-production systems...is fine. I can wait. I'm am considering subscribing, it's just been dang helpful.

Coding? Haven't done it seriously yet, I typically code on an ERP system, that is just starting with AL/MLL stuff. Haven't gotten to far. But with server support, it's making me have fun, "hows this work? can we check this?" and there's no judgement on my actions as to why? For personal stuff, this is great.

For production environments, I'd worry. I don't use it at work. I asked the software team to check it out to see if we could, so it's on the list. But I'd want to be sure of security. some nooby could ask some server destroying question and try to implement, sure sudo should stop most, but there always seems to be one file or config that slips past, so I'de be a bit concerned till it proved itself there.

For the love of all that matters, don't make the mistake the US did, fix it now before it's too late.

That's a positive spin on this for sure. What would we need high-level extraction, if no one was looking at the code. Even then, you probably could have the AI take the Assembly or Machine Code, and spt out the C++ or Rust Equivalent code, readable even.

Me personally, I want to write code, but it would be nice to have AI that helped with optimizing the code I produce. I know why I need it, future cases, it has no idea, but it would be able to tell me if my use of some data type would better if used another way or another data type would fit better.

I like it as a helper, not the primary. do the monkey work, the boiler plate. Answer some off the wall questions.

Maybe it can be a better compiler that the compilers we have now? doubt it currently, but who knows...

Sorry for the ramble, thank for coming to my Ted Talk, (as my 12 year old says)

God, it would make the interfaces better, and slow down the name changes.. Every 6 months they change the name of a platform. is it Xi, PI, PI/PO, CPI, BPG, etc etc.

Even in the same freaking version...

Bowling league doesn't take cards.

that's pretty much the only place.

Custom out the wazoo...

You want configurable... Elevators are at like the max.

Poundage: standard 1500, 4000 or 5000# hospital car?
Traction or tractionless
Floors 1- ??
Finish, stainless, mirrored stainless, brass? wood? plastic, painted (color)
Doors: double sided center opening, single sided opening, one opening? 2? more?
Lighting?
button layout
button style
car floor style.
Hall lanterns,
etc
etc
etc

It's not just a box on stick. or rope.

If you're ok with being in a Union, then you're fine. IBEW I think is the one the Elevator guys use. Typically in the cities. Small towns I'm not so sure about.

I remember a Strike in New York years ago, I'm not union, but they covered each others backs pretty well (Union guys). It was commendable.

Been out of the elevator business for 13 years now...

Supply Chain was the big issue years ago I remember. Seems like nothing has changed.

Elon sold it. Its now outside of his grasp. Took them longer

Linus seems Zen about this whole thing, and it's quite refreshing. He's really is diplomatic about it, and it seems he's looking towards the future and whats coming vs what and who we have now. Younger devs will want newer better languages, Older seasoned vets feel encroached or ignored. That's IT. I'm seeing it now in SAP where there's core SAP, with ABAP and the older modules, the new fancy stuff like HANA and Fiori that's where the splash is. Until everything is replaced, which it never is, the Old Guard will have their place. Some new up-and-comers will eventually have to take it over, but until then they need to play nice.

I like Rust, I think it's a good idea for safe, secure code. It's complex, but everything new usually is. C is a good language, but Linus is right, it's easy to screw up unintentionally.

I with Linus on this and Rust devs, start small, replace fringes. Prove your work. Earn respect, then expand as opportunities arise.

Everyone's work on the Kernel is tremendously respected. You Kernel Devs have my Kudos, always. I think your code is amazing. (even with silly bugs that I'm sure exist). But you won't always be here, you will retire, you will leave the Kernel someday. Your code will eventually be replaced, and your hours on it will disappear. But your intent and ideas will remain. You did 'X' in the Kernel for a reason, your code will be replaced, but you reason for doing 'X' will remain. Eventually even 'X' will change. It's Life.

I can't tell you who invented the wheel, but I liked their idea. and millennia later we still use it.

For now Rust is coming, C is threatened. Natural cycle.

Linus is becoming the Dude, I like it.

It's 120 a month right now. What's Con-ed/Met-ed...whoever going to charge tomorrow? Next week, Next Month, Next year?

Dollars to donuts that 120 is going to go up. A loan for Panels is a constant. Hedge it against the price inflation.

I'm paying 140 a month on my loan at the moment, with net metering and SRec paybacks, that drops it's down to around 120. It's a wash at the moment more or less, but I know Met Ed will raise prices as much as it's allowed. So in the next couple years I'll be in good shape.

I'll see myself out.

I have code in 2000 still running on an SAP system.

And have seen programs in my current system untouched since 2004.

I think there's a good bet that I'll have something still running from today in 20 years.

I need the CowboyNealCoin...

It's tricky... for sure. we get requests to Opt-out. But if you aren't broker 'selling' the data, it also doesn't apply.

and deletion, what about financial audits and archives. There's no time frame for the CCPA, technically if a broker had data from someone in the 60's, they'd still have to report it/delete it...

It's kind of like the wild west at the moment, businesses trying to do anything not to be sued.
