You were lucky knife got stuck in and nobody tried to pull it off before you got the medical attention. The biggest risk is not the pain, it's loss of blood. Which happens to get worse when you pull it off.

The way I see it, Starlink is more a military tech than civilian. It is a huge gamechanger on the battlefield and in the drone technology - it is the cheapest and most reliable way to obtain high speed network connection on a middlestrike drone.

So what Starlink would do depends on the will of American government. And that depends on who's in charge. With all the consequences.

Spent a day to make a wizard hat. Worth it 💜

I've bought a wool cap blank from Etsy.

If you look how industrial hat production works, say, how they do cowboy hats, they basically do blanks separately and have dedicated craftsmen that have steam tools shape the hat, polish it and attach ribbons & stuff.

So to match the wool base I've bought wool felt - the wool fabric itself doesn't really retain shape. Just beware that some of them look more like plastic while some look more wool-ish (and bit more soft & bendy). I've ordered black & purple felt and black was like the first and purple like the later, so I just went with all purple.

It feels so weird to read lemmy, as if I'm living in a different reality. To me, most of the time an agent can oneshot a ticket (if it has a good, non-vague description) or at least do 80-90% that can be fixed with several changes or prompts, and only odd tasks need more manual investigations than that.

Surely you still need a dev oversight and someone needs to do tech plans & lead the projects, but that's not like anything people experience here.

It depends on the task. Oneshotting 80% of the new feature and then failing to pick up on details can leave hard part.

But oneshotting even 30% of UI tests based on QA regression means you have 30% of regression covered. Ofc you need to verify if the test is indeed covering the test case, and for a big volume of tests it takes time, but it's nowhere near what it takes to actually write the tests.

Pretty much my experience and I didn't even have to do workflows or complex harnesses, I wrote a "dont ask" mode wrapper that gives rights to read/write a work dir & explanation that blockers & questions need to be written in a specific directory, and I listen to this directory with a GUI app that notifies me, then also a stop hook that verifies that that doc is updated when it stops, and has all the items done/blocked.

I did this cause I like the flexibility of a normal agentic chat session.

Recent LLM are smart enough to resolve many problems as is in agentic mode. Really strange to see "it doesnt work" copium instead of fighting for the means of production and looking for a way to have this setup purely local.
