Not as obvious as you may think depending on your states laws for liability. https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/3d/1...

If you forget to set the parking brake, you were negligent

If you set the brake but it didn't work, the car malfunctioned

From the link you sent,

> One of the questions herein was whether there was a defect in the automobile mechanism for locking the transmission gears when the automobile was in a parked position.

> The parking lot sloped in that area, and he put the gearshift lever in "park lock," and went into the building.

> (...)

> In response to a hypothetical question, based upon assumed facts justified by and embodied in the evidence, Mr. Nass testified in substance that it was his opinion that the automobile rolled down the slope of the parking lot because the transmission internally was not in park-lock; that it was not in park-lock because the engine was "moving around"; and that the engine and shift console were not in proper synchronization because the motor mounts were not restraining the engine and were not holding the engine in position.


As I remember, you are also supposed to turn the wheels so that even if a car starts rolling, it won't be able to go staight.

That case had the owner performing an action they were led to believe would have prevented the car from rolling but potential defects prevented it from doing so.

Not a great fit.


This was interesting, but continues to shatter the illusion for me that LLM based programming is vastly superior to someone not using an LLM. It consistently struggled for me to set up what it was trying to do, and had little context in helping me work through issues. I was using windsurf so maybe that was part of my issue? I gave up in part two when it got in a never ending loop trying to connect to the GitHub mcp.


We're going to make some recommendations for which models work best with the course! We've seen some different experiences based on model and IDE.


In that case, you should just use meetup and not this?


No, it potentially replaces Meetup functionality.


Not intended to be pedantic or contrarian, but I think this falls apart when the code is making sure a signal is sent somewhere (aka communication). If I write a module that allows IPC am I focusing on execution or communication? I understand one can say they were “executing the communication” but at that point we ought to remove execute from the phrase if it has to preface anything you do.

To fully disprove my point, at what point do we never execute something with code so the distinction is even worth mentioning?


OP talks about asking humans what good code looks like, and that's the scope of my response. Code as a communication tool between developers is not its primary reason to exist.


> I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen a new AWS, something like Walmart Web Services.

Don’t know if you have heard but there are these brand new services called Google cloud and Microsoft azure. Not to mention all the legacy saas providers e.g. oracle that existed prior to aws.


Both of those are tech companies, AWS if the official story is to be believed originated as an internal tool of an e-commerce website.


Why wouldn’t it be believed?


For one it's neither the official story, nor true.


It’s ok, you can swear here.


It doesn't hurt anybody!

Fuck, fuckity, fuck fuck fuck.


Gp never said it wasn’t used colloquially, he was just stating gps does have competition. Read more carefully :)


Probably just means you aren’t much of a hacker. Some people like playing with new stuff for the hell of it


He was nominated for an academy award at age nine, this hardly seems far fetched. Have you forgotten this is a thread about child stars? Or are you just being intentionally misleading


i believe you neither support republicans nor democrats at 10, i don't see what's misleading


It's rude to make misleading marketing statements as well, especially when you are addressing a technical market. That is pretty bad, and thinking so is not rude.


It’s “rude” to intentionally mislead. It’s not rude to be bad at marketing.
