Assign it as a research collection task to a junior dev and forget to follow up.

(Fr tho, auto doc frameworks and related instrumentation are easily worth weeks. I will fight your manager.)

Theoretically, I would say yes it’s possible, insofar as we could break down most subtasks of the development process into training parameters. But we are a long way from that currently.

ETA: I suspect LLM’s best use-case in this hypothetical would not be in architecting or implementation, but rather limited to tasks with human interfaces (requirements gathering, project planning and logistics, test scaffolding, feedback collection/distribution, etc).

If the unironic goal is to develop things without any engineering oversight (mistake) then there’s no point to using programming languages at all. The machine might as well just output assembly or bin code.

What’s more likely in the short term are software LLMs generating partial solutions that human engineers then are asked to “finish” (fix) and maintain. The effort and hours required to do so will, at a guess, balloon terribly and will often be at best proportional to the resources saved by the use of the automatic spaghetti generator.

I eagerly await these post mortems.

My apologies, I missed a few of your questions at the end.

• Yes, any USB4 rated cable can carry the TB protocol at whatever distance it’s rated for, otherwise it isn’t USB4.
• Likewise any TB3 cable should work for your application, if it’s actually TB3 rated.
• 3m is generally the max length I’ve seen. The theoretical limit may be higher but I suspect latency of the cable itself becomes a problem for PCIe tunneling, which is still a synchronous interface TMK.
• The TB controllers decide whether your cable is sufficient. They will negotiate a link if they can both verify a nominal link speed/multiple. So the lower rated USB cables won’t work for PCIe tunneling, even if your ultimate bandwidth requirements are minimal.

A few things to note if you’re shopping on places like AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, etc:

• Be wary of any long (active) TB/USB cable that’s cheaper than $30.
• Be wary of any cable that has a small connector, like one you would use to charge your phone, because the TB/USB4 connector itself must house an active signal repeater chip, making them chunkier and/or longer than usual.
• Similarly, the shielding requirements are fairly substantial, so the cable itself should be beefier than most USB cables.
• IME generally, PCIe over TB/USB can sometimes just be finicky. Of the 12 or 13 cables I’ve used with various combinations of machines, enclosures, docks and risers, there are occasionally some combinations that just don’t play nice, for whatever reason.

You may need an active TB3/4 cable. 30 cm is typically the longest passive cable you’ll see. Active cables are more expensive, though less so than they used to be, and can handle longer runs like 3 meters.

Daww it’s so tiny! I get it now.

I’d do it if I could add a blue light and dry ice vapor effect every time I opened the meds fridge.

I think you can also register 10 years in advance, or maybe more depending on the registrar, which would cover all other potential snafus like expired card info.

IANAMD but simply using various accents, by itself, is perhaps less relevant clinically than the emotional disregulation and socially maladaptive behavior you describe.

Unchecked, compulsive aggression with fixation that requires coworkers to physically extract themselves (harassment) is certainly diagnosable, but not by us or by you.

This should be addressed formally by a superior, if only so that your coworker has the documentation necessary to get the help they need. Your coworker will not remain so for long if this continues.

The refined uranium IHS doubles your clicks per minute and facilitates exfoliation.

Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.

As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.

If you are a disregarded entity, are not currently and do not in the next 6 or 12 months expect to make enough profit for an AGI above a certain percentage of the FPL, and your state has Medicaid, you can apply for Medicaid with dependents using recent profit and loss reports to substantiate your effective self-employment income.

Go camping together. Nothing fancy, just a weekend at a park with a small tent and backpacks.

Let your team know you’ll be unreachable. Once there, phones off. No working. Just walk and talk, rest and eat, explore your surroundings, focus on what and who is in front of you.

You may not sleep well on night 1, but you will on night 2, especially if you covered some ground that day. The morning after night 3, however, will be the most well-rested you’ve felt in a some time. The effect carries to subsequent nights, then eventually wears off, but can give you the chance to restructure your days for better sleep in the long term. Use as needed.

Ah! Been there. Allocating lanes on small systems always seems to have more trial and error than I expect.

And here’s that x4 SFP+ card: https://www.trendnet.com/products/10g-sfp-pcie-adapter/10-gigabit-pcie-sfp-network-adapter-TEG-10GECSFP-v2

can’t find any SFP+ card that is x4

Pretty sure mine is x4. I’ll check.

Edit: confirmed.

+1, also chocolatey

8GB is too much! Offer a 4GB option then we’ll talk.
