Just keep them read-only, if a freezer need to be defrosted send an SMS to the store manager with the message “go hit the defrost button”.

My guess is setting up a port forward in the gateway router is part of the freezer install process. The customer probably had to give the tech the router credentials and the tech sets up the forward themselves.

You can probably implement your own these days. I would use a model to generate a requirement document, then human review, then generate an implementation plan, then human review, then take it to build. Have a different model to a code review and testing. End with human code review and testing.

You could make your own BitLocker conforming to your requirements without relying on or trusting any cloud or corporate entity.


And then turn Mythos onto your code to make sure you don’t have vulnerabilities? That’s a lot of faith in the security of LLM-written code that I wouldn’t have in human-written code.

The point is the code is there in front of you. You can audit it, study it, turn mod and after model loose on it, do whatever you want. You’re going to have to compile it so you need to trust the compiler but at least it’s not some cloud provider.

I mean it's better than this sdcard thing at least.


To me the ones doing scheduling, team coordination and chasing people down for answers to promises made are probably the safest. The more you deal with humans in meatspace the safer from AI you are.

haha i want to file a critical sev1 "my bank account no longer has a billion dollars in it. please fix asap"

since when does an engineering org care about revenue or customer satisfaction? Most software devs have no idea how the business they work for operates and think their direct deposit every two weeks is a fundamental law of nature. Also, many software devs are anti-customer and think customers are wrong even when the customer is talking to them one-on-one describing their needs in plain english.

I'm sorry you had to work at (or with) a crappy engineering org. Good ones really do care about the business.

Funny you should say this… there another post on HN about engineers using AI are going to make PMs redundant!

what part of the market is up 20% ? ytd sp500 is maybe +10.5%

Sp500. It was at 6300-6400 at one point this year.

16 oz can of white monster (stereotypical energy drink) has about 150mg of caffeine. A grande (16 oz) black coffee from Starbucks has about 310mg of caffeine. You would need to drink 2 16 oz monsters to get the same amount of caffeine as a single grande cup of coffee from Starbucks.

If you're just looking at caffeine intake you'd be better off switching from coffee to energy drinks. You could drink about 3 per day and be close to the 400mg/day guidance.

edit: white monster has no sugar in case anyone was about to bring that up


Coffee varies. I've long understood that a normal (8 ounce, ish) cup of drip coffee averages around 100mg of caffeine[0].

Java Monster Triple Shot Mocha comes in a can, and has 300mg of caffeine per can[1][2].

This seems to suggest that getting the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee in one can is, in fact, a thing that people can accomplish.

> If you're just looking at caffeine intake you'd be better off switching from coffee to energy drinks

This is less true now than it used to be. I'm somewhat sensitive to caffeine and always look on the can to see how much is in it, and 150 is on the low side of most of the options available now-. 200 to 300 seems to be a lot more common among the brands that are newer than when monster and Rockstar first came out.


Caffeine ≠ caffeine.

Forget the numbers you’re being given - what does caffeine crop that goes into a Coke or Pepsi product look like, compared to green tea caffeine?

What does the sugar look like, as a supply chain, vs sugars ingested from fruit?

Hint: it’s disgusting.


Caffeine is caffeine. Sucrose is sucrose. Homeopathy isn't real.

No.

When a flock of geese shit into the pile of beets, gnaw on the beets for a few days, and then the beets get boiled down and put into your Gatorade, sucrose ≠ sucrose.

No idea what you mean with the homeopathy quip.


You know manure and the soils produced from composting are literally feces from animals and bacteria, right?

And that manure is an excellent natural fertilizer?

And that outside that, worms exist? And they poop?

Oh, and that if you were to take bird shit beets and worm poop beets and mash them up and extract chemically pure sucrose from both you'd have no way of determining which came from which?

Assuming that you do know all of these things, you're saying that horse shit and worm poop is fine, but you'll be damned if a bird is involved?

I mean, I can see where you're coming from. A potatoe coming from a toilet is probably not as clean as a potatoe coming from a sterile lab, but that's not what you're saying. You're saying that the toilet has somehow altered the physical chemical compounds involved in the structure of the potatoes rather than has potentially added other chemicals to the mix that was the potatoe. The starch is the same in both. The starch = the starch. The starch and the toilet =/= the starch and the lab because the toilet =/= the lab, but those are different arguments.


I think growing food on soil containing shit is a whole different world than boiling my food with shit,

and if you don’t, well, let’s just leave it here.

> You're saying that the toilet has somehow altered the physical chemical compounds involved in the structure

Nah - I’m pointing out the shit that comes along with your very simplified label should be known.

Same as the folic acid American rice is washed in - but never labeled with.


> if you were to … extract chemically pure sucrose

My point is: they’re not.

and in retrospect, it was weird that I ever assumed they did.


I wouldn't hold regular engineers in such high regard. I know plenty of EEs, MEs and CEs that don't really give a f** about anything except a paycheck same as software developers.

Agreed. And let's not forget that those are engineers who develop stuff like electronic cigarettes or... well... bombs.

> How exactly are House Democrats supposed to revoke the Exchange Stabilization Fund or change the Defense Production Act when they don't have a majority in the House?

They're going to have a majority in about 3 days. They won't have a veto proof majority but they will have a majority.


Then we’ll see what they do in four days. This is indeed campaigning.

> Then we’ll see what they do in four days

They’ll try to pass the bills they’ve actually written and published and debated and built consensus around.


No, not until January

after many rounds of frivolous law suits if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly

The lawsuits won't stop people from taking office.

The newly elected Congress critters can't take office until they are sworn in by they speaker. As we've already seen from the pettiness of the current Squeaker of the House Mike Johnson, he has already used skullduggery to delay the swearing in of new members. I'm sure claiming that a seat's validity being questioned by ongoing litigation would be cause to delay that person being sworn in.

Over the years I've seen way way too many off-by-one errors when people reflect on who was "in charge" at the time.

without a veto proof majority, they might as well not be in the majority. Trump could become the most veto happy POTUS ever and stay his course. If they do not have a veto proof majority, they also won't have enough to convict on any potential impeachement. So all of this hope/prayer for a "blue wave" is not going to be worth much.

> without a veto proof majority, they might as well not be in the majority.

I don't understand this position. Two years of stalled government would be a godsend after the past two years. Dear lord, if we could just slow the daily assaults on people and the environment, domestically and abroad, I'd sing Hallelujah.


Next election everyone will be bitching about how dems do nothing when in power and vote for republicans.

If all they do is non-binding resolutions, yeah!

No it wouldn't. The vast majority of shitty things have been done via executive order. Republicans are completely fine with congress being dysfunctional. That serves their goals.

Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House.

Conviction requires 2/3rd of those present in the Senate.

There's no veto possible.The power is exclusive to the legislative branch, the other two branches have no say at all.


> they also won't have enough to convict on any potential impeachement

They can force compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and release the documents currently being illegally hidden.


No, it means Trump can continue doing pretty much whatever he wants with little consequence. He certainly didn’t need Republican consent for bombing Iran or his trade wars or for cutting off Ukraine and buddying up to Putin
