“It’s pronounced PS/2”

Yeah, like who hasn’t ended up in a Waffle House with no idea how they got there?

Ask it which is heavier: 20 pounds of gold or 20 feathers.

Vibe coding guy wrote unit tests for our embedded project. Of course, the hardware peripherals aren’t available for unit tests on the dev machine/build server, so you sometimes have to write mock versions (like an “adc” function that just returns predetermined values in the format of the real analog-digital converter).

Claude wrote the tests and mock hardware so well that it forgot to include any actual code from the project. The test cases were just testing the mock hardware.

My iPhone’s Safari crashed multiple times. Granted, it’s an iPhone 11, but still.

Christ the ads on that site.

Failing Buffalo Wild Wings gets free publicity by pulling viral stunt!

In ECC memory?

I think it’s the first time it’s happened since I upgraded my hardware over a year ago. 64 gigs of RAM and I rarely use more than 30% of it.

Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.

Yeah makes me think something hardware level.

Are the server and chargers close to each other? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger?

No. The car charges every night. This is the first time this has happened.

I assume the ID should also reflect your hair color and height at birth too?

But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other vacuums across 24 countries. The backend security bug

I feel like “bug” is doing a looot of heavy lifting here.

It was an especially interesting case because there was a question of whether the photographer lied about who actually took the picture. So he could either claim the monkey took it an lose the copyright or claim he took it and have it lose all value.

That’s not even close to the worst of it.

Yo momma’s so fat, she sat on a binary tree and squashed it into a linked list in O(1) time.

What’s fun is how often this principle is used every day. For example, when you upload a video to YouTube, you’re assigned a unique URL, but it would be too slow to simply add your URL to a list to make sure nobody else uses it. There are millions of videos uploaded every day, and thousands of servers spread all over the world.

Instead, YouTube just generates a truly random URL and depends on the odds of two videos having the same URL being effectively zero.

The same is true for Bitcoin. If you could guess a Bitcoin private key for any currently used wallet, you’d have full access to the funds within that wallet. This can even be done offline. Even if you could guess trillions of private keys per second, the odds of you hitting even one that’s already been used is low enough to be totally secure.

Yeah, that happens fairly frequently. I don’t have an Amazon account, so I personally roll with the punches.

What’s really fun is when you have to return one of those items and they don’t know what to do.

Try eBay. You’re much more likely to find a small business selling whatever widget you need.

RIP.
