This honestly had me confused for longer than I’d like to admit.
I’m from east asia so european geography isn’t my forte. But I like to think I’ve played even civilizations and total war games to have some familiarity with Europe.
In today’s episode of The Good Cat, genetically engineered supergenius Mittens realizes that not all cats are like him. In fact, some are absolute morons.
This is how my buddy blew the engine on his insight. It was burning oil so long that it melted the spark plugs. He could have had it fixed for free but he didn’t know about it until that extension had ended.
I actually don’t know what was wrong with it because he never let me take a look for him. I offered to have an engine delivered to my house and me and another friend could have slapped a used engine in.
He was hellbent on buying a new car so he traded it in.
A friend of mine had a very reliable car. Then he had to get new spark plugs and brake pads around the same time. He got tired of the car having “problems” so he got a…used mini cooper.
Exactly. All the memes and stickers about letting the CEL stay on are funny, but if you don’t know what code is triggering the light, you are gambling with your car, or even your safety. Seriously people, get a CEL checked out, and then decide if you feel it’s worth fixing. Most auto parts stores, dealers, etc. will happily do it for you, often at no cost, but at least be an informed consumer instead of just hoping it will be okay.

The graph actually looks like it’s saying the opposite. Fro most of the categories where there’s actually a decent span of time, it climbs rapidly and then slows down/levels off considerably. It makes sense also: when new technology is discovered, a breakthrough is made, a field opens up there’s going to be quite a bit of low-hanging fruit. So you get the initial step that wasn’t possible before and people scramble to participate. After a while though, incremental improvements get harder and harder to find and implement.
I’m not expecting progress with AI to stop, I’m not even saying it won’t be “rapid” but I do think we’re going to progress for the LLM stuff slow down compared to the last year or so unless something crazy like the Singularity happens.
Mine told me that I should be a plumber. I took it after graduating college with a degree in Data Science. I kind of wish I did the plumbing thing considering the money they rake in. Problem is that I don’t like crawling in attics and under houses.
It handles ambiguity too. Want to say something lasts for a period of 1 month without needing to bother checking how many days are in the current and next month? P1M. Done. Want to be more explicit and say 30 days? P30D. Want to say it in hours? Add the T separator: PT720H.
I used this kind of notation all the time when exporting logged historical data from SCADA systems into a file whose name I wanted to quickly communicate the start of a log and how long it ran:
20230701T0000-07–P30D…v101_pressure.csv
(“–” is the ISO-8601 (2004) recommended substitute for “/” in file names)
If anyone is interested, I made this Bash script to give me uptime but expressed as an ISO 8601 time period.
My company has decided to standardized on phone numbers with dots instead of dashes. They’re in email signatures, memos, client proposals. I absolutely hate it and it rubs me the wrong way every time I see it. It’s wrong.
I use a standardization library for phone numbers. It makes parsing any user input dead easy, storing it as a standard string (can’t think of the standard name) and then outputting in the country’s respective format. I don’t have to inject a bunch of JavaScript crap that’s like “wrong format” and harass users; the backend sorts it all out.
Although I actually like that format a lot, we use characters to help elicit context. 2023/08/09 is fine since we have been using / for dates for so long. Also it blows my mind why people don’t use : in 24 hour times. 16:40 is great, no am pm bullshit and you immediately know I’m talking time.
