We're using OpenClaw to do a massive number of fixes and improvements to our ERP.
It takes Jira tickets, resolves them, and creates a GitHub PR, which is then reviewed by another AI agent. It can even analyse screenshots with MS Paint-style arrows.
So far it's been an amazing tool - I am very impressed.
"make their own fork which nobody else is interested in because it is personalized to them"
Isn't that literally how open-source works, and why there's so many Linux distros?
Code quality is a subjective term as well, I feel like everyone dunking on AI coding is a defensive reaction - over time this will become an entirely acceptable concept.
This is what most people miss when they criticise UBI - for most people, it will be immediately spent, taxed, and put back into the economy. As long as the velocity is there, it's not an entirely bad idea as long as inflation can be kept under control.
I am 100% convinced that the baby weight thing is because grandparents love to compare newborns with their own experiences, and they were on the cusp of the metric conversion in the 60s.
In a decade or two, this will vanish.
Imperial height is because 6 feet is the generic height of a "tall person" - we get so much of our sporting news from overseas and no one bothers to convert it.
The thing I liked the most about XHTML was how it enforced strict notation.
Elements had to be used in their pure form, and CSS was for all visual presentation.
It really helped me understand and be better at web development - getting the tick from the XHTML validator was always an achievement for complicated webpages.
I worked with a guy called 'Com' which is a reserved word in Active Directory. It causes chaos so apparently his AD name is always modified to be less offensive to the Microsoft gods.
At one point, you could leave an open <script> tag at the end of the HTML with the language attribute set to "javascript9.9" or something non-existent, and the JavaScript banner ads wouldn't load.
To be more accurate - by removing subsidies, NZ farmers became more efficient and sell their products at the world price, which is quite often overseas.
Subsidies and/or tarrifs always distort the market and have unintended consequences.
I have ordered lots of stuff off AliExpress and it's been a roughly 50% success rate.
Some things were clearly low quality, one item was completely wrong, but the rest were surprisingly good.
For me, half the fun is the anticipation of it showing up and maybe getting a good item.
I do struggle with the throw-away mentality though - some reasonably sophisticated technology goes straight in the bin when it fails.
Also it's another point of failure. If (or when) the motor fails, then you could be facing in an extremely suboptimal direction and it might take more than a few days to fix.
People (usually installers) also get hung up on having the correct angle for stationary panels.
In winter the solar gain difference on 'correctly' angled panels vs just having them flat on the roof is basically zero, and in summer you should have excess solar gain anyway so again it doesn't matter.
And even if you're losing a small amount due to an inefficient angle, just get more panels!
