Personally I find I’m able to focus on high level design problems which I enjoy a lot. I still enjoy crafting elegant solutions to unique problems, but at least in my current job, most code is trivial and feels tedious to write by hand. Also, LLMs generate better code than some of my coworkers. Most of the slop I’ve had to deal with this year is in 20+ y/o codebases, and none of it was generated by LLMs.

This is brilliant.

It’s also a good idea to gracefully shutdown anything essential that isn’t using a read-only rootfs. I’ve got my NAS configured to shut down after 5 minutes, but my firewall and frigate server keep running until the battery is almost dead, then safely shut down if the power still hasn’t come back yet.

Is the same thing that happened to academia. The people submitting papers are paying for the privilege, the people reviewing them are volunteers, and the cost to read them is out of reach for many. The people making money are just maintaining the website.

Very fast, too!

This guy’s got upper management written all over him.

Yep. It’s a “write once, read never” storage medium.

Only if they get caught. Seems like a lot of money for a flawed system.

OK, then what about the kids who only have 1 phone but claim to have none?

Or buy one that’s 10 years old and learn to maintain it yourself. Worst case, you decide you don’t want it after a year and sell it. Depreciation from year 10 to year 11 is close to zero.

How does this work, are all students required to put a phone in the locker? What about kids who can’t afford a phone?

And what about kids who get a second phone to put in the locker so they can keep their main phone?

It’s not a threat, it’s a plea.

No, it’s far cheaper to scan a stack of loose papers than it is to scan a bound book, that’s why they’re cutting the pages out. And most of the books aren’t that valuable, even if they’re rare. So it’s an accounting decision to destroy the books.

It will never generate something novel. Whether it will generate something “new” depends on your definition of “new,” which is a little more ambiguous than “novel.”

Sorry if I’m being too pedantic.

Although that might be more of an offensive umbrella…

A single user making dozens of posts and rarely getting any response? I wouldn’t call that egregious, it just seems ineffective to me.

The problem isn’t on the PC side, though. It’s on the side of the device that has to choose between host or device. The PC is always a host, so special support in UEFI isn’t needed.

Yeah, that sounds right.

The USB protocol and UEFI aren’t a problem, but Android/iOS might be. I’ve booted various PCs from a raspberry pi (USB-OTG), but the last time I tried to boot an iso from my android phone I couldn’t get it to work. It’s been a while so I can’t remember exactly what the issue was.
