Can’t you just disable sleep on close? Fuckin noobs
Updated with correct link
Figures they don’t know how to keep their laptops awake while the lid is closed lmao
Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that’s too high tech for vibe-whatevers.
“I think people think I’m whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman,” one AI user said.
Ackshually, we think you’re an absolute fucking idiot.
Also - ffs, they can’t even disable sleep in system settings???
Amen. what’s so fucking difficult about screen/tmux and a ssh connection?
For them? I’m willing to bet literally everything
Oh bro your laptop was open, I closed it so it wouldn’t eat up all your battery.
I gotta hide this article. His punchable face on my feed is insufferable.
“For those who don’t want to input a command in a terminal”
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”.
Sf life
Sounds like they are being performative: they want every one to know and to ask them about it.
People who can’t figure out their power settings are shipping software. We’re so fucked.
It’s fucking surreal watching these people rise to high positions in tech companies trying to sell the idea that they can replace physicians with their “product”. Have fun with that mate.
This is nothing new
corporate blocks most of the settings anyway
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 just translate AI to Anti-Intelligence. 😎
I roll with NS “natural stupidity”
Also Idiots
I’ve definitely had windows straight up ignore the power settings before. Granted that was years ago, it’s probably only gotten worse
It does weird things with some but I’ve never seen “lid closed down action” bug. Then again I’m not using laptops that much
This has been true for 20 years.
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.
Idk depends on the airplane at this point.
best case scenario you spew a bunch of toxic shit into the already stressed atmosphere.
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.
They do, but It’s sort of like what happens when you take a hot steak off the pan. The heat source is removed, but the steak has enough heat to continue cooking for a bit while it rests. Your laptop might shut down, but the whole thing being in a backpack would act as an insulator and allow it to continue heating.
yes you are right and everyone else is a little uneducated for thinking this could actually be a fire risk
You sound fun at parties. Circular firing squad, much?
Fwiw, several generations of Windows notebooks have suffered from nasty sleep bugs where they wake themselves up from sleep, and drain their batteries while clamshelled in a book bag. Used to happen with my work Dells almost monthly. Microsoft’s announced win11 fix for it is one of the loudest and most venerated I’ve heard, in living memory.
Best I ever got out of the deal was a spicy pillow, no breach, and I’ve been unable to find any articles about any rash of laptop explosions which would have had very high visibility.
It sounds like you have also been as lucky as I have. May we all hope to escape the fires, a little longer.
Right, and this is just waking to run updates or whatever. Imagine what running a local LLM in the same conditions might do.
kek. okay tell that to all the electric vehicle owners who’ve burned to death in random car fires cause by their batteries igniting themselves. also maybe educate yourself a little and read the underwriters lab article I posted.
You’ve never worked with a dev department obviously.
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
windows update that will override settings
That’s just every update they push
When you lock your lid: Do nothing When on battery, turn off laptop after: Never
They think “do nothing” means the AI will do nothing.
You’re giving them too much credit. They’re afraid their chatbot will suffocate if they close those lid all the way.
"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.
Caffeine exists
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.
Micodeslop Windows
It’s weird, people love saying they ai code. But they don’t like admitting their products are vibe coded.
Everfall 2 is the “sequel” to Everfall, a vibe coded disaster of a game. The sequel only exists because the “dev” couldn’t figure out how to get Claude to fix the fact that save games just didn’t work. One week after publishing the original, he abandoned it saying the sequel would be given to everyone who bought the first at a “huge discount”. After push back, he reduced it to free if you DM him on discord. The sequel is almost exactly the same as the first game except saving works more often. Like, literally 100% carbon copy. The screenshots on each steam page is proof of that.
That new text rendering method was apparently brute force vibe coded in the pixel tolerances.
No clue if it’s actually good software.
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
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?on top of that, there is no way they are working on anything so important that can’t take an hour away or whatever. these dopes could also configure yolo mode if they just need to sit there and click “accept” to changes…
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.
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.
