I have a lifetime pass as well, but switched to Jellyfin years ago.

The app for public transportation in the Stockholm region give real time location updates for its busses, and station-to-station updates for tram and commuter trains. With the constant delays for the operator in my area it is invaluable for catching busses.

My guess is that the whole project including the selection of chips was made by an AI.

My guess as well. I don't like it when humans silently pass off LLM writing as their own.

I also don't like it when humans silently pass off LLM work as their own.

Prompting is not the same as doing the work. There are ways to genuinely collaborate with LLMs, but if someone silently takes full credit for work generated by LLMs, my assumption is they probably vibe coded it.


Plus, I spend my free time expending effort to consume human generated content. I’m okay with slop someone pays me to deal with, but don’t expect people to read your hobby related post when you couldn’t be bothered to write it.

A bunch of us old salty sailing nerds were actually discussing Decca Navigator System¹ the other day that was still very present in the 90s on the ships we were sailing. Now all replaced and removed.

Oh, wow! That seems to fill a gap below LORAN's range, and far exceeding its accuracy. I never heard of it before!

You should.


This describes how you turn off telemetry: https://github.com/microsoft/intelligent-terminal/blob/main/...


This kind of data was shown by late Hans Rosling and his foundation Gapminder¹. He gave a Ted talk² about similar subjects as well, and I find him an excellent lecturer.

But you can go 1500 miles on a full tank, so with electricity you have to account for three times as many vehicles as well (given the stated range is correct)


300 miles between charges if you are limited to a 30 minute charge, but semis probably refill much more often than every 1500 miles, particularly since they are required to stop every so often anyways.


What did you do to start getting traction for senior positions? You were struggling in the beginning of the year.


I've never had a problem getting contacted. I've done some self reflection, and practice and now I'm much better able to communicate technically. It also helped that my last project before I was laid off was pretty wide reaching and impressive and being able to talk about that has made things a lot easier. I still haven't gotten a job I want, so I don't have a lot to offer you, but I'm getting better at interviewing.


> In the past, a job that would have given me two months and paid $5,000 is now expected to be completed in two weeks for the same $5,000.

So you have quadrupled your income? That seems like the opposite of a collapse.


Because of the nature of freelance work, jobs are not always steady. Most freelancers constantly worry that the work may disappear tomorrow.

In my case, unlike contract freelancers who are hired for a fixed period, I usually work on a project-delivery basis. Of course, well-known programmers may be able to negotiate salary-like contracts, but that is not my situation.

I think my earlier example may have been unclear. What I meant was not that the price increased. I meant that a project that used to take two months for $5,000 is now expected to be delivered in two weeks for the same $5,000.

That point probably needed more explanation. In the current freelance market, prices have collapsed more than many people realize.

My English is not perfect, since I am not from the English-speaking world, so I may have caused some confusion. Please understand my point as: work that used to reasonably take two months is now expected to be completed within two weeks.


I think they’re saying there’s another stepdown coming, the job in two weeks for $1,000 is right around the corner.


But because of AI demand also fell. You can quandruple income without customers
