I’ve seen some shops in LA that claim to take certain car models and turn them into evs. It’s a long shot but I’m taking a look when my car dies or we need another car.

My civic will probably last another decade given how cheap the parts are and reliable the car is.

You could get a very very old ebook reader from a yard sale. You get something functional and a lot of them act like a USB drive.

Plus a very small solar panel can charge it.

Yep give me a dumb electric car.

Yeah I went from Suse linux to Ubuntu. Those were the only ones I could get discs. Feels like a lifetime ago. Wish I would have kept them.

That does sound like fun.

Most companies will never have a monorepo at the level of these bigger companies. So I personally don’t think most people need to worry about the limitations of github/lab as platforms.

However if you happen to be having those kinds of issues, I think looking at what the big companies are doing and/or starting to split things up makes sense.

There’s also alternatives with custom ci jobs within non GitHub/lab within the git universe that may help out with those sorts of operations. I know actions still feel very beta in some toolsets so it may be easier/more useful to run your own arch. I’ve been enjoying forgeo/gitea for example, but it’s not like you can’t do the same with girlab runners or GitHub enterprise. Depends on use case.

Yeah im not sure what to call suno and some of the others. AI isnt a good way to describe them because theres no real “intelligence” happening.

Doug Doug did a funny cast where some LLMs were the players in a very simplified DND like game. It was very funny.

Most “AI” is just a series of if/then statements and/or LLMs that try to predict the next word.

It was part of my research back in college so its crazy what companies actually say AI is. Im probably preaching to the choir around here but man it grinds my gears.

I swear im not getting any money from this company, I just really like the idea. I wonder how it differentiates between a “good” number and a “bad” one? ATM I just use multiple phone numbers for services so the spammers cant hit my main line.
