wtf that sucks

the users do get paid though, although i'm sure it's a fraction of what youtube makes.

before ritalin: 2 to 5 hours, or not at all

after ritalin: 15 minutes.

note I take the ritalin during the day, not to go to sleep

I think it also means software running can access other software's memory which is probably bad but personally I'm not keen for that performance hit on my desktop

veggies are more likely to have a higher percentage of water in their composition, though? not disagreeing, just a thought

scratch

my company's payroll management software just rolled out an app called "swag"

that's not a joke

tradie goes on murderous rampage, breaks into multiple historical buildings trying to find his girlfriend.

i have used to to do simple shell scripts - like, "read a text file, parse out a semver, increment the minor version, set the last value to zero, write back out to the text file". simple stuff that can be easily stated it's pretty good at. mind you it was a bit wrong and i had to fix it, but it saved me googling commands and writing the script myself. I wouldn't have bothered normally but i do that once every two weeks so it's nice to just have a command to do it.

i think learning where it can actually help is a bit of an art - it's just predictive text, but it's very good predictive text - if you know what you need and get good and giving it the right input it can save a huge about of time. you're right though, it doesn't offer much if you don't already know what you need.

yeah my biggest use case it quick summaries of things. it's great getting a few bullet points, and i miss details a lot less.

ESL is actually a great use, although there's a risk someone might not catch a hallucination/weird tone issue. Still it would be really helpful there.

champ, I'll have a look tonight after work. can't guarantee I'll be able to fix it but I'll see if I understand it well enough to optimise.

embedded tweets just look like they have a close button now

I felt bad for scanning the big list for replication results that weren't Chinese 😞

turns out I was right

I'm pretty good with SQL... well I used to be, been using a noSql db for a while now.

but is there a list somewhere of the worst queries?

I'm too busy to contribute to a project rn but I can optimise queries.

just find a regional one run by a committed nerd

mine too, wonderful channels

I'm enjoying the irony of the automatic ai summary to read this for us.

I don't want a factory job though. I want a world that's organised well enough that people don't starve when you don't have menial labour for them to waste their lives on to justify being fed.

feeding and housing is just logistics and we're good at that. let the robots do physical work and continue feeding people as before.
