Only small use cases on my end: Professional - great at helping me save time on syntax related things (“help me right an excel formula that validates cell C2 as a properly formatted US phone number”). Personal - really helpful at fleshing out a comedy idea I’m toying with (“help me analyze and expand why the idea of ‘vampires benefitting from an app called Is There Garlic In This’ is funny for a stand-up routine”).

Otherwise, I spend just as much time verifying the LLM’s output as I would have just doing it myself.

Accurate

Already do remote play through my phone with a backbone, so this would just give me a bigger screen, I guess

This is the kind of educational retconning I need of Disney movies.

You’d be right… for about 5 seconds until she decides that it’s time to give you nightmare fuel. She’s actually sick right now, so the terror is at a minimum (but I’d take all the terror she has to give if she’d just feel better…)

Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?

This article sounds a bit like a press release, but the documentation for the tool itself looks good.

“Twenty” seems a little basic so far, but “Salesforce” is such a far-reaching platform it would be hard to compete across the whole landscape. Salesforce’s CRM functionality is a lot easier to copy tho.

I think the more valuable features of a platform like Salesforce are the WYSIWYG automation builder and the fact that it’s running on someone else’s processor (cloud-based). Excel only has VBA, Macros, or writing out functions for building automation and then slows your computer down to a crawl to execute them.

Of course I know him: he’s me!

Check out “The Storyteller” on Amazon Prime for some well-told German folk tales.

Nicely done.

Giftcard to good favorite shop is a gimme.

Apart from that… get him a hammock! If he’s a little extreme kiddo, he’ll probably love hanging it up between trees and climbing into it.

You talking about shooting a gun up your own butt?

Audiobooks, baby. 1.75x speed (1.25x speed if there’s a heavy accent involved or it’s information dense).

I try to never do chores without an earbud in and a book or podcast going. (Makes dishes so much more enjoyable.)

Edit: spy books by John Le Carre really revived my love for books in older age.

This is a great commentary to me. I think it shows just how much of an appetite we currently have for a curated space. It’s almost like Mastodon is a service that’s about 15 years too late.

I remember going around to older forums and sites looking for specific content when I wanted it, and I wasn’t always guaranteed to find something I liked, but I would often see something interesting.

Now, though, I really want anywhere I go to knock me off my feet with good content because that’s what I’m conditioned to. Isn’t that what makes me an addict, though? I’m wondering if that chance of dissatisfaction isn’t a virtue to ensure no one platform takes control of all my attention.

My interactions on Mastodon are far fewer than on Lemmy, though.

IMO, Lemmy is like a CoOp video game where you’re supposed to interact together, and Mastodon is like watching someone else play a solo video game.

Both can be good, but they serve different purposes to me.

My sister once put some dog doo in a paper towel tube and wrapped it as a present.

But somehow I don’t think that the kind of prank you’re looking for.

A lot of practical steps, which is nice to see in an article like this.

Oh, me too. I hadn’t thought of that, but that would be terrible if it happened

I’m actually a bit surprised… my stock is pretty down from selling you so much over the past weeks.

It doesn’t matter, though; I have enough for the festival and I’m planning to rake in the big bucks like I usually do.
