Can’t you just disable sleep on close? Fuckin noobs
Updated with correct link
This was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.
There is no way this happened lmao.
I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.
Brace yourselves for a windows update that will override the settings with giant bubble buttons on how to turn off sleep mode…
So relieved I’m fully Linux now
When you lock your lid: Do nothing When on battery, turn off laptop after: Never
People who can’t figure out their power settings are shipping software. We’re so fucked.
Considering that they are using pseudo intelligence* write the code I think the power settings is the least of our concerns.
*PI should replace AI as it is a more accurate title
I’ve definitely had windows straight up ignore the power settings before. Granted that was years ago, it’s probably only gotten worse
This has been true for 20 years.
You’ve never worked with a dev department obviously.
Of all the things to compare pre and post AI
This is one that has not changed.
I mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.
You’re saying it like it’s a bad thing.
Why should I have to die in a plane crash because some idiot vibe coder’s laptop overheated and caught fire during the flight? So yes, it is a bad thing.
“Fires on airplanes” is, in general, a BAD THING.
Surely the CPU would force an instant shutdown if it detected dangerously high temperatures?
I was thinking more about the batteries. It’s probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an “uncontrollable, self-heating state” called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/
Yes, but our gear should have sensors that know when thermal transfer is sustainably going to impact the batteries.
You’re giving them too much credit. They’re afraid their chatbot will suffocate if they close those lid all the way.
Does anyone have an example of a real world, AI coded thing? I keep hearing about all these vibe coders, but I’m not seeing any tangible products.
That new text rendering method was apparently brute force vibe coded in the pixel tolerances.
No clue if it’s actually good software.
"Can’t you just disable sleep on close? " You really think they have technical competence for such?
Oh shit, that’s a great idea! I’m surprised claude didn’t suggest it first. /S
You can, and you can also have the disabled sleep on close implementation screw up, have unintended consequences and weird behaviors. Half open lid? You know what you’re getting.
just ssh home for god sakes
You think people who ship apps with
127.0.0.1:[port number]as a URL can figure out how to set up a personal VPN?TBF, that is actually something claude would be fine at walking them through, Tailscale would be 15 minutes
Hey chatGPT, can I close my laptop lid and not have it go to sleep?
ChatGPT: screw off loser.
What really worries me about this article is this very dystopian idea that you’re supposed to be “working” 24/7, no breaks ever.
Even when you’re out with your kids, why are you present in the moment instead of working? Open your laptop, go work.Wasn’t all the marketing abour the “AI Future” talking about getting things done faster?
When did that turn into “Work 24/7 so you don’t waste your hourly token limit”? WTF?I can’t remember the specifics of it, but I vaugely remember someone pointing out that back in the 70s people assumed that rising productivity meant they’d have to work less. That if the work of a week in 1970 would be the work of three days in 2020, that they’d simply only work those three days. Even if I’m misremembering what was said, I feel like it’s clear to see that rising productivity doesn’t mean we’re going to work any less. Capitalism will just keep squeezing until nothing is left.
Yeah futurists said the same shit about email and smartphones, etc. These were “time saving” productivity tools that would help us all enjoy a better work-life balance. Instead you end up with workers essentially on call 24x7x365.
That was the Jetson’s storyline: George goes to work 3 days a week, 2 hours a day, to sit at a desk and press one button.
Notice that storyline didn’t get repeated much.
Also made enough for a nice floating house, a flying car, and a robot maid.
And still has to deal with rush hour traffic…
Remote work still isnt fully accepted even in the future.
My pet theory is that the jetsons and the Flintstones are in universe, on the same planet, in the same time period. One lives in the clouds, the other on the ground. Where do you think all the raw materials come from? Dinosaur operated quarries
Yeah everyone on the ground making due with bioengineered animals that look like dinosaurs, and no one can afford shoes but it’s ok because everyone has been bioengineered to run really fast and have impervious feet.
Also,
The 15-year-old from Bentonville, Arkansas, is a 10th grader who’s building a startup with his 24-year-old cousin. He uses Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode (paid for with seed money from his parents).
Lul. Lmao. ROFL even.
Tech guys too stupid to config lid closed settings
Jesus, These people have no critical thinking skills.
totally happened
This shit reads like an Onion article. Good god.
Oh… I guess you need 1 year on just a library and a linux machine and a next year with an added search engine before getting your AI coder driver’s licence.
