PIDs for can be very fun. And essentially its just 5 or so lines of code, which is something I wish they told us in uni (instead, it was mostly theory, as in the meme). I recently built a kiln which goes to 1000-something °C with a PID controller and I just set the parameters by vibes, not even some formal method. And it just works. So here is my resource: The (bit messy) controller code for my oven The code is obviously a bit more than those few lines, but I just wanted to say that the implementation is very simple, which I would have liked to know when I started out with this.

Edit: just found a bug after looking at the code again haha, so thank you :D

I really noticed it when instead of thinking how to solve X, my mind started phrasing a prompt to ask how to solve X instead, does that make sense? I found this to be a dangerous, almost evil thing, and I'm sure it is the same with my coworkers, or they just don't like to admit it. I still do this sometimes but am giving my best to unlearn it. And the crazy thing is, I did not even use it that much, only very occasionally, similar to what you mentioned you do. I do not wish to know how cooked the brains of "vibe coders" are by now...

At a standup meeting, CEO asked whether we use AI and I was the only one who said that I don't use it at all, or very rarely, starting a little discussion. Overall, their position is somewhat moderate. They do fall for the hype a lot (especially with the recent Claude stuff) but it did not seem that it was a requirement for us to use it. But they were curious why I do not embrace this so much and I said that I can feel myself getting more and more stupid when using these tools, due to the mental offloading. This seemed to resonate a bit with the others, at least I could feel that my coworkers in the round got my point, despite remaining silent.

Coworker recently came to my desk and jokingly asked why I was typing out code by hand when I could ask Claude to generate it for me, but there was also a bit of seriousness to it, so I cringed a lot

As I said, I personally wouldn't do that in my free time, especially not every single day.. because I'm too lazy haha

When you can only commute with a car, yeah it's dumb. However, I have a daily commute of 1 hour with my bicycle and it's a great way to get some exercise. In this regard it's forcing me to move my body, which I otherwise probably wouldn't in my free time. Gym of life.

Unfortunately, it is the only way my SO got paint tool SAI 2 with pen pressure working under Linux..

Plus, your source files would also have to actually be in that format. As an example, Spotify apparently supports up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC only

The observation is that most USB-C to 3.5mm ("aux jack") audio dongles are supporting high quality audio but only support the USB Full Speed (FS) data rate which is not enough for the high quality audio. This causes problems.

Went from Hyprland to Gnome to Sway, and I think I'll stay. I really like the retro GTK theme, but it does not work well with GTK4/libadwaita. So I gotta put in some more work (or avoid those apps :). I also seem to move away from having a uniform theme for everything and just embracing the chaos

Here's some more things being productive (or pretending to be):

I don't have a great scientific answer. But if you follow the advice from the guy in your profile picture, training your own mind and acting skillfully would on average have the best chance to inspire others to do the same

[–] fleck@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I agree. But the cool thing about it is that you can change it (on an individual level) if you pay attention. It's just kind of hard. But I guess it is not something to expect on a broad scale, given the course of humanity

Even radar would not cause cancer. At least not that I know of
