  • So I did a quick and dirty “when amperage goes over 2 amps and then falls below 2 amps for more than 10 minutes send me a notification” and it’s pretty idiot proof.

    Idk if you need estimated time to complete, but you can get pretty far with a very light weight automation.

    If I were to improve it, I would time the cycle for the wash and add a helper so that I don’t get 'washer is done" when I paused it for a shower or something, but that could be a rabbit hole.






















  • It’s pretty unbeatable to use LLMs for fast prototyping and query generation, but “vibe coding” is not something just anybody can (or should) do.

    It seems to me that the world of LLMs gives back at the quality you put in. If you ask it about eating rocks and putting glue on pizza then yes it’s a giant waste of money. If you can form a coherent question that you have a feeling for what the answer is like (especially related to programming) it’s easily worth the hype. Now if you are using it blindly to build or audit your code base that falls into the first category of “you should not be using this tool”.

    Unfortunately, my view before and after the emergence of LLMs is that most people are just not that bright. Unique and valuable, sure, but when it comes to expertise it just isnt as common as the council of armchairs might lead you to believe.
