>Here is an example, I traced back d/36555 from d/367547 which in turn is derived from d/36467.

slop. Dwitter is nowhere near approaching a count of d/367547

I'm not disagreeing with you, of course a different actor is going to give a different delivery, but Patrick Stewart has no writing credits on TNG. Everyone's quoting lines he said from the show, but he didn't write them, he delivered them. While he had a great delivery, people are attributing the lines to him, but they aren't actually his. I don't really want to bring down the vibe, but it's worth pointing out that good writing is what made the show what it was more than only the actors. If the writers wrote vapid lines, and he recited them, would we be having this conversation at all?

I liked Patrick Stewart in the role, but it seems like people confusing the writing for the person doing the acting? Sure, he was great in that role, but Jean-Luc Picard was more about the writers than the man doing the acting. I mean, let's be real here. He was an actor playing a role, he didn't write the words he said, they were written for the show.

At 40 YoE, it seems like your heart was probably never in it. I really miss coding at my day job. I still code plenty for my personal projects.

>They're becoming critical transportation infrastructure

That's total nonsense. Uber is a luxury, only for people who can afford it.

If you can't see the rather stark difference between the two parties, and which one is obviously better for the country and not just the wealthy or hateful, then you are a broken person. And there are a lot of broken people so you've got plenty of company.

So it took me more than a week to get around to putting the project together, but I finally did tonight.

I just got done soldering the parts today (36 parts total). The only thing that was wrong was one capacitor had the wrong footprint size, but I was able to make it fit on the PCB.

I hooked up my serial port ESP32 firmware flasher, got the firmware flashed on the first try.

I connected to the ESP32 via wifi, plugged in my fan, and it worked perfectly.

The little webapp to control fan speed is great. It's got a speed slider, an on/off button, and low/medium/high/max speed buttons. There's also two physical buttons to control fan speed up and down.

I'm pretty amazed and happy with the results.

I wanted to get the initial chat I used but the session was compacted so all I have is the summary:

Summary: 1. Primary Request and Intent:

   - *Initial request:* a hardware/software WiFi fan dimmer project.

     - `KiCad/` holds a KiCad v10 project, schematic only; the user designs the PCB.

     - `ESP32/` holds an ESP-IDF 4.4 project.

     - The ESP32-WROOM-32E-N8 controls a triac doing phase control of a 120 V, 300 W fan.

     - The web server has a slider page plus APIs for on/off and power level.

   - *Later requests, in order:*

     - Add "JLCPCB Part #" to each part.

     - Replace through-hole parts with SMD, except connectors.

     - Change all parts back to through-hole, cheapest, from Mouser/Digikey/any source. Large, easy SMD is OK.

     - "please only select parts that you can confirm the body size, and have a 3d model for".

     - "I really do not like the schematic... The components should connect with wires to each other."

   - *Most recent request:* "Please add two more buttons that will control fan speed up and down. The down button should adjust fan power downward until the power is completely off to the fan, and the up button will have 6 gradients up until 100% power to the fan."

I've been ordering from JLCPCB, in the $500 range per order so not too big, and have never had to give a SSN, nor would I. Just no way.

TSMC is already building a huge fab in Arizona.

"both sides" are not even close to being the same.

What company is asking for your SSN?

That's great that they dominate a shrinking market, because few people can afford to pay $80 to go 15 miles.

Market capture didn't work so well for Uber, and it won't work for AI, and even less so for AI because you can't get a driver in China to take you to LAX airport, but you can use cheaper Chinese AI.

Uber has to pay back all the billions of dollars it wasted trying to get people to use their platform, and now I can't afford most Uber or Lyft rides, it's way too expensive. So did market capture really work if they had to raise their prices so much as to make the service unworkable for most people? The only time I take uber is if my company pays for it, and that is getting less often.

AI is also going to have to become way too expensive so they can pay back the billions (trillions?) it is borrowing. And, when everyone is laid-off or fired because AI took their job, then who's going to be paying for AI? I guess the companies that lay off all the humans will, but when the wealthy business owners realize they've replaced everything with AI and nobody is buying what they are selling because there's no more jobs, then what?

Sounds like they should worry about profitability, and a lot of other things too.

It's going to be funny when AI soon costs 4x or more than it does now, and that non-developer CTO can't understand the slop codebase the AI created.

They probably know their bad cops are going to end up costing them at least $2.5mil in fines and settlements.
