I stopped using AI for code, everything it gives me requires manual checking and editing to work but now I have the overhead of not having the deep understanding I would otherwise have had if I figured out things myself from the start. I also stopped using AI as a sort of replacement for quick google searches in general, but I didn't go back to using google because now I feel those results are too shallow. I been trying to figure things out from primary sources as much as possible and thinking for myself since it seems to me the value going forward is having depth and breadth over the competition that you only get by doing things the very old and slow way.

My dad is getting older and often forgets to bring reusable bags when he goes shopping. As a result, he ends up buying new ones every time, adding to a growing stockpile of unused bags at home. On the other hand, I’ve adapted by buying less and only purchasing what I can carry by hand to avoid needing a bag altogether.
This feels (but I cannot say if it "is" without proper data) like a lose-lose situation: individuals either end up purchasing more bags (which defeats the purpose of reusables) or, like me, change their shopping habits in ways that might not be ideal for businesses themselves who would wish I spend more. I’ve also noticed more people skipping supermarket trips entirely and ordering everything online from places like Walmart or Amazon, which often deliver in boxes or reusable bags anyway.
It seems there isn’t a big-picture solution beyond individuals like me reducing consumption as much as possible—not necessarily out of environmental consciousness, but because it’s now more of a hassle to consume unnecessarily.

Yes. My mother in law struggles to walk so she prefers to order groceries online now. Walmart always delivers them in reusable bags, so there's a stockpile there. The outcome is she's started to use them as bin liners just like we used to use single use bags from the grocery store
This is a big part of why I think some kind of bag return system needs to be in place. No one needs hundreds of reusable bags, but they will accumulate any time you're at a store without one so what do you do with them?
this is impressive, seems that SDUC is just a specification so it applies to both full-size and micro SD cards. I don't know of many devices that still support full-size but I hope to one day see a 128TB microSD card. Not sure how they'll figure it out, last I check the biggest size Sandisk sells is 2TB tho the article mentions we'll be seeing 4TB+ cards soon.
What worries me, given my time with the raspberry pi, is reliability. They seem prone to random failure, not that I've personally ever had a card die on me (and it seems that even in failure they lock into read only mode so you don't lose data?), but it seems that there's no standard way to check the health of the card like you can with SSDs using SMART data. This makes me hesitant to trust larger-capacity SD cards for data tho I know of some industrial cards that seem to have some kind of support for viewing card health but I feel safer with small capacities since there's less to lose if something goes wrong but faster speeds are always a plus.
I have always wondered why is that my dashcam in car uses same basic 32GB sdcard for writing multiple gigabytes of data every day during summer and winter without any problems, but when it comes to raspberry pi or its clones everyone starts to suggest to even avoid a few kb of logs written to sdcard to be on the safe side somehow. ( my theory is that all negativity related to sdcards come from flaky power supplies and straight up counterfeits on amazon ).
Even if you do a small update on a file you'll have to write an entire block so updating multiple small files all day long will trigger a lot more bytes to be written.
SD cards are optimized for things like camera's and music players where the contents are larger files written in a single pass.
R-pis are particularly hard on SD cards. I think they must be engaging in lots of writes in the course of operation.
I have a number of projects that just use microcontrollers with SD cards, no OS involved, so no unexpected writes to the card. Some of them have been in constant operation for many years, and I have yet to see an SD card failure in any of them.
> what problems do you have that could potentially be solved by developers?
an offline Grammarly alternative, ideally as a progressive web app that I could add to my home screen without needing to install anything from the App Store. I find the built-in spell check on my iPhone underwhelming, so I’ve disabled autocorrect and predictive text.
Interesting, certainly something I had never thought about. I don't think this is even slightly feasible with my pretty low level of NLP and text analysis, but intriguing nonetheless. Thanks.
