Repple (she/her)

I listened to it exactly once, but it was live

Seems like you can’t disable from the web? I’ve never used a Gmail app, always used via imap. Fucking hate having to download an app to turn this off. Not my primary email address, but it is my secondary. Should change that…

Since the 2024 election I’ve been constantly wondering what the event would be that should trigger all out riot to restore democracy. The answer I always come up with is cancelled/sham election.

Is this really the second most common? I would put the SS lightning bolts, imperial eagle, and iron cross above this. I didn’t recognize this as a nazi symbol when all this broke, and I have seen are we the baddies memes

I haven’t really played V, but other GTA games I just treat like arcade games where I start by stealing some car and try to stay away from the cops and steal bigger/cooler shit for as long as I can without getting caught

I fucking hate this because I write with em dashes and properly used semicolons all the time. I’ve started altering my writing style because I’m worried people will assume it’s AI written because of those things.

I think it’s an improvement overall, but there are places where background tinting on the glass and blurring should be stronger in order to improve contrast/readability. I still want pre-iOS 7 design back, though. Miss that aesthetic.

I’ve read a number of European reviews of the byd dolphin and most I’ve seen have compared it unfavorably to European EVs

Apologies, I’m usually better at adding descriptions. I’ve edited it, and it says: Damn, that’s crazy. Where are the Epstein Files

You’re right about having to check everything written, the problem is that the unpaid intern loses you time while you have to check all the work, and then eventually learns enough and gains trust where you can be more hands-off. The AI doesn’t.

Still potential for time savings in non-critical areas where you can actually afford to be less careful, but that appears to be it right now.

I haven’t tried in a while, but shortly after gpt4 came out I tried to play chess against it. It just completely changed the board position nearly every move making illegal moves, adding pieces etc. do current models keep track of the board and make legal moves without special prompting to help? Were these assisted by agentic tools handling state?

I believe one of Apple’s papers covered this, that chain of thought and other techniques that increase accuracy decrease perceived creativity. Memory is fuzzy though

In unrelated news, I am requesting donations of predators from zoos that are unable to adequately feed so that I can use their carcasses to fertilize the garden in which I grow greens for my bunnies.

I have a duty to mimic the natural feeding patterns of rabbits, and greens fertilized in this manner are one way of accomplishing this

This is the way. People make cast iron sound hard to maintain, but I’ve been doing this for a decade or more and it works great

Explains why it didn’t open for me.

The fold is distracting on every foldable I’ve seen, and worse, all the screens feel terrible in use. Flimsy/plasticy

I have to use it for work by mandate, and overall hate it. Sometimes it can speed up certain aspects of development, especially if the domain is new or project is small, but these gains are temporary. They steal time from the learning that I would be doing during development and push that back to later in the process, and they are no where near good enough to make it so that I never have to do the learning at all

Same, I tend to think of llms as a very primitive version of that or the enterprise’s computer, which is pretty magical in ability, but no one claims is actually intelligent

Buttons and shorts? Yeah, I also like watching bottomless people sometimes.
