Weird. It's working for me.

Oh, probably because I'm on Android. It's opening in chrome.

So they now have two separate AI chatbots named Copilot now? Obviously GitHub Copilot is focused on coding, but this one seems like it is not. Both are owned by Microsoft. Both are called Copilot. Both are AI chatbots.

This looks fun! I'm all for Pokemon trying something fresh. I'll definitely watch this.

Probably not that bad compared to others, but I opened my drawer to get ready for work one day and the little fucker was staring at me. After a brief moment where we were both shocked staring at each other, he scurried into the back of the dresser, behind the drawer. I was running a little late for work and had a very important meeting with our hardware vendors, so I closed the drawer and left. I ended up wearing something that was in the dryer as it was the only thing not covered in cockroach germs.

I got home that evening and couldn't find the little fucker anywhere. I washed all my clothes again, because it freaked me out having a cockroach touch all my clothes. I wiped down the inside of all of the drawer with a Clorox wipe. I just couldn't find him.

Days later, my wife comes running out of the bathroom and says the little pervert tried to attack her while she was on the toilet. The cockroach was actually in the light fixture. I sprayed it with some bug spray, probably a little too liberally. But he was super dead after that.

Crisis solved!

I was a math tutor for a couple of years in college. It is difficult, but this can be corrected (assuming the student is willing to put in the work).

I had gaps in my knowledge when I started tutoring as well. Factoring polynomials was always a struggle for me. I would pretty much guess and check until I got it right, and that was good enough for me to pass all of the tests in high school. Of course, until I got to multivariate calculus and I needed to factor more complicated polynomials as part of a much bigger problem. As you said, it compounded. Did I learn my lesson? No. I bought a calculator with a CAS to do that part for me. But when I started tutoring, I felt that it was unfair to my students to not know how to do something correctly, so I forced myself to learn it properly.

I just got access to an AI code generation tool through my work. I have been cynical and hesitant about using AI thus far because I feel like most of the time these types of things are overblown.

But Holy. Fucking. Shit.

It can quite literally do most of my job for me. A big part of my job includes doing repetitive tasks for deploying my code changes to the product. I usually script these things, but that requires time to write the script and time to maintain the script. Well, I just got moved to a new project, and I decided to have it start writing a few scripts for me. It probably already did a days worth of work in 10 minutes.

Oh, lucky you. I assumed because it's a pretty popular one in the area. Which one did you go to (if that's not too personal of a question)?

Lmao, SJSU alumni checking in. Did you have as much trouble filing the graduation paperwork as I did?

I'm low key excited to see one in person for the first time. I find them fascinatingly disgusting. Like pimple popping videos or post surgery pictures.

Is this a reference to The House Bunny?

This helps me SO much. I used to be able to watch 100 episodes of a show and not know the main character's best friend's name, who had appeared in 65 episodes and had 6 focus episodes.

Turning on subtitles essentially cured this affliction.

I think it's a focus issue for me. I get distracted while watching TV. My mind wanders, and I start thinking about other things. But if I have subtitles on, I'm hyper-focused.

Shameless plug for a community that I moderate because we need more folks!

We even have a bot that posts the scores and basic stats of each NHL game.

Is this why I have never noticed a difference between amp sites and non amp sites? I use adblocker on everything.

Okay, the free jack and coke got me excited for you.

I can't even begin to describe how much of hell it was for her. She literally screamed that her life was a living hell like 5 times a day at one point.

Definitely not the asshole. I also like helping out my coworkers, and occasionally someone will take advantage of that. When I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, or I'm not enjoying helping someone anymore, I will tell them that I just don't have the time, and if they need me to do it, they will need to get approval from my boss so my boss will know why I didn't hit my deadlines on my other work. That almost always gets those people to fuck off. And if it doesn't, the extra work gets properly assigned to me, I get credit for for it, and my other deadlines get pushed back appropriately.

I am not surprised.

Were you not able to see my edit? Sometimes lemmy has issues federating edits.

My wife was on benzos after a stint of panic attacks in the emergency room. That shit was fucking awful for her to get off of. Luckily she's extremely strong-willed. She went from 3 Xanax a day to none in a month. Her psychiatrist laid out a plan to get her off of them. She told her what time she should take each pill and at what doses. She actually went ahead of schedule. There were a few screaming fits from the withdrawal symptoms, but she did it. It took about 3 months for her to return to normal after her last pill. It was very difficult, but she did it.

I thought it was OSX Lion that dropped the price to $30. Am I misremembering?
