My most favorite annoying thing about ads is the 'x' close button. They make it very small almost impossible to be perfect. I end up clicking the ads 50% of the times. Been running PiHole at home network for almost 8yrs happily. The ads come into play only when I am traveling.
All of a sudden, internet is full of people who hate AI written articles. A few months back, my article got a lot of haters because I used AI tools to improve my draft. Being a non-english first language person, I don't see an issue. But I wish AI improves to an extend where draft to complete articles don't look AI written.
You should use AI to point out errors or suggest better phrasing. But if you ask AI to rewrite your post, it will produce content that sounds fake and corporate. ESL speakers may not notice it but everyone else does.

(Speaking as another ESL user: )
Try doing something similar in your first language and I think you’ll see the issue, especially if you arrange for the model input to be somewhat flawed (e.g. roundtrip it through a machine-translation tool first). The “edited” writing is extremely generic by default and feels bad even if you adjust the prompt. It’s the kind of aggressively bland that you get from a high schooler who was extensively trained to write essays but doesn’t actually read books, except even the most beat-down of high schoolers can’t help but let their imagination shine through sometimes, while the chat models have been subjugated much more effectively.
Also, well, it’s a social marker. Language is a mess of social markers: there’s no fundamental reason why reducing this vowel should be OK but reducing that one should be “sloppy” and low-class. And AI writing (which undeniably has a particular flavour) is hit by a double whammy of being used by people who don’t really care to write (and don’t have a taste for good writing) and having been tuned by people who tried to make it as inoffensive as it could possibly be to any social group they could think of (and don’t have a taste for good writing). Is that unfair, especially to non-native speakers? All of language learning is unfair. Always has been.
I love these thought experiments. Looking at the code size, it would have been possible for someone to come up with this back in the days, similar to the idea of a million monkeys on a typewriter eventually producing Shakespeare.
Speaking of - I remember my first digital camera (Fujitsu 1Mb resolution using SmartMedia)… it used so much power that you could take 20-30 photos and then needed to replace all 4 batteries lol
Came here to write something similar (Of course, other than working in Google) and saw your comments reflecting my views.
Yes, Its worth pending $200/month on Claude to get my personal project ideas come to life with better quality and finish.
I was with a similar assumption that thread per core might be the best approach for one of my OpenSource Rust libraries that is a Workflow Orchestration engine. The engine is focused on payment processing.
The perv version had thread local engine and focused on thread per core. When I moved to a pure async based engine using tokio runtime and all underlying libraries made thread safe, it improved the performance 2x. The entire workload being fully CPU driven with no IO. I was assuming tokio mostly does better only for IO based workloads, however my tests proved me wrong.
Now am not moving away from async approach.

[Update #1] Author here:
I made some further progress.
1. Like a few comments mentioned here, the remote event happens for multiple reasons. Especially triggered by their app when you start or stop cleaning etc. I missed mentioning it in the article. The one I showed was suspicious as the device got bricked just after that event.
2. I fixed it by reseting the firmware and it worked for 2 days now without any issues. After second day cleaning it went back to charge as usual and never turned on. The bricking happened again this time, and I see a similar remote event again. This time am 100% sure there was no action from my side on the App or remote control.
3. What I found so far, after cleaning completes, the device uploads the map (in PNG) and some more data (in binary) to their server (There are very clear logs for this). After this upload, it receives a remote event and stops working.
4. How did I fix the device? I've the backup of all files in the device. Rebooting the device after replacing the files do the trick.
5. Now it reports the device is not on flat surface. Probably a loose connection with sensors which am yet to figure out. This time I suspect the bricking technique has changed, we shall be updating after more research
Note: I am not sure if I can publicly share all techniques used to get access to the device. But it is very straightforward as mentioned in the article and very easy if you have some knowledge on adb (Android Debug Bridge) tools and a USB to micro usb wire.
