What would heirloom Dan Lyke / comment 0

What would "heirloom quality" products, things worth passing down generations, look like, and is that even a goal worth pursuing?

Do we bother to build things to last, or do we just melt down the parts and repurpose them?

(Buildings, furniture, tech, tools, etc...)

Don't 'never-skill' Dan Lyke / comment 0

Don’t 'never- skill' yourself with AI

If you rent your abilities from AI companies, other people can rent them too

Via.

And, yeah, don't de-skill yourself, either. And don't fool yourself that knowing how to pull the trigger press the button will lead to being respected in a decision making role...

Okay so the line number error reported Dan Lyke / comment 0

Okay, so the line number error reported by the build process was from the bundler, not from Typescript, which is why it had nothing to do with the code I was looking at.

When I say that the appeal of LLMs for programming comes from modern languages and tools being shit: this is why.

NanoXray Dan Lyke / comment 0

Whoah. SIPEED Nano Home Lab: NanoXray. Okay, it's in development, not actually a shipping project, but:

Have you ever wished you had your own X-ray inspection tool? A compact desktop device for BGA checks, PCB analysis, and non-destructive inspection of small structures.

Via.
