I have a 2027 Bolt, and it has V2H but not V2L, and I just want V2L to charge my home battery system like you said. Haven't figured out a way yet. GM put encryption in that NACS port.

I was brought in the other day to discuss building an app to automate audits, and the person pointed at an internal web app that was made by a person in ERP team, and called that amazing. I can see Claude signatures every where, but I just let them go with it.

It's getting real now that everyone can prompt to build things now and call themselves coders. I was even offered help from them.

Yes, but replying can be a pickle.

Looks like the Up button overlapping the X button.

No Konami code :(

For some reason, I feel sad. I was always fascinated when finding an article about newly found discoveries on Earth, and the comments from Hacker News were usually helpful and adding more to the stories.

Now, we talk about whether such discovery was written by LLM.

Does it really matter?

I'm working on a boring e-commerce site from scratch, with the boring stack of Phoenix Live View, PostgreSQL, HTML and CSS. You know, the boring stuffs.

I just don't use AI building it. It actually brings me joy amidst all these AI news and updates.

You will be surprised that there are lots of things you want to do yourself but haven't been able to (not just ability, but time and effort).

I think it will click once you actually sit down with the AI agent, toggle Plan mode, and just tell it what you want to do in couple of sentences. It will immediately start building up the plan, presenting it to you what it thinks is the right approach , with the steps to take, with open questions that you can look at and answers. Then send them back to the AI. Repeat. That process along would give you a progress way further than you try to do it by yourself.

You can tell it to start implementing step 1. And you pick it up from there. Very natural how you would approach an expert for help, but you can always audit.

I came across this repo while trying to find alternative to NimbleCSV, the go-to CSV parser for Elixir. NimbleCSV took 230s to parse a 250MB file with 35000 rows and 2000+ columns. RustyCSV took 1.7s.

It would be nice if there is an extension for VSCode or its forks that let you monitor your agent *running inside* your local machine, or VSCode adds support for it. I want to run agents on the codes I have open, not pushing them to a cloud "box" to run agents on there. But I do like being able to monitor or pick up the next steps from my phone.

Last time I tried to let AI build such extension, it told me that VSCode did not expose extension API to monitor AI chat.

I have just moved from a free environment in which I was able to use any AI harnesses or models to a strict enterprise environment.

I was shocked to realize how difficult it has been to have a GitHub CoPilot license on Azure. I mean, they're both Microsoft products. But no, the IT now has to figure out how to set up a GitHub enterprise, link to Azure subscription, and all that.

It's easy to look at one part of the HTML and see the Tailwind classes no different than inline styles.

But if you have to use `display: flex" in a lot of places, having the `flex` utility is better. And there are tons of such utilities with Tailwind.

When you inherit a front-end project for the Nth time, those `!important` become a nightmare.
