As the sort of person who's found bugs in compilers, and who's spent time looking at the output machine code and with an oscilloscope, this comment about compilers as abstraction layers, and LLMs as an extension of the abstraction layer, is making me think a little more charitably about AI as code generator. https://mastodon.social/@mkb/114083167517852985

Apropos of nothing, you know what I like about USB-C driven HDMI? You can test the individual components and they can all work. They can all even work with every bit of low end display hardware you can throw at them. But plug them into a mid-six figure projector, and it's a crapshoot...

Boycott day, working from home, woke up way too early, the motivations to shower or shave this AM are low.

Anybody know how to calculate efficiency loss for a solar panel at 0° (flat) vs 25° oriented south at latitude 38.23N? Trying to figure out how much to push back on our solar install.
