I am being tracked for my usage of AI, so I fiddle with it. My conclusion: worst intern ever.

It sometimes gets things right, just like you said - but I’ve reviewed what a coding assistant claimed it did, been reasonable impressed, then glanced at the code and discovered it hadn’t even done what it claimed. It wasn’t just buggy - it lied about itself.

My previous worst intern just didn’t do the work. This nonsense wastes my time.

He learned what he was good at… And what he enjoyed.

Kevin is a shop lifter after he panics with the tooth brush. Since he learned never to trust cops, he assumes he’d get thrown in jail like the hardened criminal he is… And then there’s the cop who’s trying to break into his house. Yeah, can’t blame him for not making that call.

My understanding is that the most basic of funerals and associated trappings is in excess of $10k (and that was prior to the current inflationary economic situation). Final healthcare expenses are likely also a few thousand dollars - and yes, the family likely has to pay it. So the amount of unexpected expenses is probably $25k to begin with… It starts seeming less excessive, to me at least.

I - and since regretting it - rewatched the early MCU movies recently. The first time you really see Thanos mirrors the first frame, and the line immediately before he turns and smiles talks about how to invade Earth is “to court death.” Given the comic book version, I’m not sure they had the whole 50% motivation thought through yet.

I’m not sure they’ve thought it through yet, although I do like the argument elsewhere in the thread that Thanos did it to prove he was right, not to save the universe.

Someone had to take the picture!

Style and tone MIGHT be something they can mimic, but they are phenomenally bad at nuance. The LLM model loses information when it is constructed, and it similarly loses detail when it’s asked to elaborate on a point.

The part where Nexstar has a pending merger needing FCC approval is the real kicker here. There isn’t a single part of the US that isn’t for sale.

A clearly misremembered or misread news article when the comeback tour was announced.

Didn’t the rest of the band mostly retire when she joined?

While I’m not 100% comfortable with his tithing, if Mr. Martin passes Sanderson could pull a Jordan.

Oh. Add it as a weight on the arm, probably.

… Tell me more about this penny trick.

I feel like I missed something in my childhood!

Not a wizard, but I’m finding my docker configuration of paperless-ngx to meet my minimal needs.

I was worried, so I checked the error. And it made me confident something had gone wrong with autorenewal.

Given that my job had a days-long partial outage due to CLOCK SKEW between nodes, a cert renewal issue is positively understandable.

Glad you were able to get it sorted out, but hope you have some more vacation to get back to!

Thank you. I went to see how angry I should be in Washington and went away planning to write a thank you.

The estimate I’ve seen is that cards won’t be coming until 2026, otherwise yeah, this would be an easy choice.

(East) Berlin would dispute the example for Deutschland. Ampelmann is an icon.

My spouse came home from a week at the hospital to a stupid button I hooked up that messaged me “Emergency! {name} needs you!”

It was perfect.

My partner has one - and still loves it while on the fourth of a few models (over seven years). I can barely use it – my fingers are too large. The camera isn’t great and the white balance is just incorrect.

The battery life is understandably atrocious. But – it is TINY.
