Mitchell Hashimoto writes a lot of Zig with AI (and this interview is almost a year old), see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnz7L6x068&t=490s How long since you have tried tools? I think there has been some pretty astounding progress during the last couple of months. Until recently i did not use it daily, but now I just cant ignore the efficiency boost it gives me. There are definitely security concerns, and at this point you should not trust code that you do not read/understand, but tbh. i'm starting to believe that AI might (at least in the short term) free up resources to patch stuff and implement security features, that otherwise was not prioritised before due to focus on feature development. What it does to the IT sector in the long run - who knows...

I have ordered a used x280 (only 8 gb ram), it was not at all that cheap though… i could probably have scored one way cheaper if i had a little more patience.

Very cool! This is what i was hoping to find - TY. Do you have it in your contract?

[–] wiegell 1 points 4 days ago

I would like to do it outside company time, but on their machine if possible, but if not, i’ll just get another machine. But as others have stated there are some small print that says something like - knowledge gained through company activities will be their IP, it’s somewhat vague and can be interpreted in different ways

[–] wiegell 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yea i thought about that, but part of the motivation is building my resume

[–] wiegell 7 points 4 days ago (11 children)

I would like to use the company machine if possible, but outside of work hours. My current contract is formulated in vague terms with references to the applicable laws (Denmark), so i’m sure it’s legal.

 

I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

// EDIT: My contract is not totally strict, it refers to applicable laws and the wording is something like ‘knowledge gained through company activities belong to the company’, which is probably intentionally vague. Also: i like my job and employer and they are open to FOSS. My only concern is whether some higherups might disagree at a later point which is why i want to get the wording right. Will not spend money on a lawyer - it’s not that important to me. Thanks for sharing your experiences so far.

Thank you for the details. We have district heating here and no EV, that makes a big difference! We use about 15MWh of district heating each year but less than 2MWh of electricity. Our house is from the 70s, but have decent insulation, could be better though

I’m curious, do you know how much you use for heating, cooling and the EV? I supposed those are the big differences to my household.

[–] wiegell 15 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Interesting. They could supply my household for 20 years on a full charge. I’m missing a count on how many households they can supply with sun power during the night. Also how does this hold up vs. kinetic storage? (pumping water uphills) Seen from a global perspective storing power in li-ion seems bonkers, since it would probably drive lithium prices up to a point where it’s no longer economically viable, but ofc. they sit on much of the supply chain over there…

Our danish national news had a documentary about similar problems recently: (article in danish): https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/klima/ikea-elsker-trae-i-deres-reklamer-men-eksperter-kalder-deres-skovdrift

Jeg forstår det sådan, at fidusen med EU-løsningen skulle være, at der er en form for anonymitet, så en 3. part står for verificeringen og at en sådan potentiel nyopstartet side ikke modtager de personlige oplysninger. Prompt har en udsendelse om det: https://www.dr.dk/lyd/special-radio/prompt/prompt-2025/chatgpt-5-boernefilter-og-apple-bestikkelse-11802521033

 

Some of their stuff seems very popular, but i’m always a little distrustful, when i can’t figure out the business model of some org. They list 10 people involved - how do they make money?

Well even very broken toes only get some tape and advice about wearing stiff shoes, so it would probably not have made much difference anyway. The one exception being large fractures involving the joints in the big toe.

 

All recommendations are welcome. In particular how to vibrate a two part mold without it breaking apart. I did not weigh the mix and water, but i suspect i used too much water. Also added about 2% plasticizer.

 

I replaced this battery last fall, but it has drained over the winter. The auto-mower dock wont charge it. Is there any feasible way to charge it safely? Or is it dead at that voltage? It’s a Bosch Indego 400. Thanks in advance.

 

Glued acrylic plates together with Acrifix and fixed them to a retractable shelf for our trash. The plates are attached with two screws and silicone caulk.
