I am doing a small hardware project which would process some information from my Škoda Fabia Mk3. I need things like the RPM of the engine, speed of the car, and the angle of the steering wheel. I've done a little bit of research and found that getting the angle of the steering wheel is the trickiest part. Is this information possible to get with an OBD2 cable? From what I understand, all OBD2 cables can get things like the engine's RPM but only specialized ones can get things like the angle of the steering wheel. Everything for this project would be strictly read-only.

At some point we should be able to see the location of friends on other planets (i.e. Mars or Pluto) in the future when humans become a space-faring species. Right now, I have know idea whether my friend has moved to Mars or has simply turned off their location. Necessary feature.

Google maps should set everyone's distance measurement units to imperial for the duration of 1 (one) year in celebration of American traditions and culture.

Yesterday I had my final exam in compiler design. AI and internet allowed. We were given over 5 hours to design a language from specifications and to make a basic compiler which compiled to CMa instructions. I used AI because this is an exam, not a practice session, and I'm not stupid. I pasted the instructions and the sample code given and claude generated a program which passed 75% of the given unit tests off the bat (lowest settings so low effort and no thinking). I kept pasting in the errors until it passed all the unit tests then submitted. This took no more than 20 minutes. I felt so weird having "completed" the exam in such a short amount of time that I sat around for another 40 minutes or so until other people started to get up and leave.

What options would I even have with a computer science degree? There are so many programs on the internet for AI to chew up and spit out that I don't feel like I can create anything of worth. I like making algorithms which is why I even took the compiler design class in the first place. I genuinely like computer science but it is so extremely demotivating when my 4 hours of work can be generated in a couple of minutes.

I have a groundbreaking idea: Make a program that generates all combinations of 1s and 0s up to, let's say, a few megabytes then force write it into an EXE to see if it makes a valid program. We can do this until, for example, we make a program that can solve cancer. Has anyone had a similar idea befre? It's so simple it must be.

Hello! I am visiting Lithuania in a few days and I wanted to know, what is the shoplifting policy like at Akropolis shopping center? Do they only kick you out or do they also call the police? Any information appriciated. Thank you!
