  • It wouldn’t bother me if somebody wanted to bring a friend on a date. However, I would communicate that it would change the dynamic into a “hangout” over a traditional “date” for me. The difference being that a date carries romantic intent and a hangout is for the sake of connecting with others without romantic expectations. Also, a hangout means everybody pays for themselves.

    This takes the pressure off by lowering the stakes since it’s now just a casual hangout between peers. It also has the benefit of making the third not feel excluded as a third wheel but a welcome part of the group.

    It’s disturbing how normalized speeding is. It goes beyond normalization. I’ve had people get furious with me, flip me off, tailgate me aggressively and literally try to run me off the road for driving the speed limit.

    It’s especially stupid in the city. People get all pissed at me for driving the speed limit and maneuver recklessly around me before speeding off, only to get stuck at the red light a block ahead. I could feel smug as I pulled up beside them a moment later, that is if it weren’t for the disappointment and frustration I feel with how stupid people are behind the wheel of these speeding death machines.

    I can’t think of any other law we have where a significant proportion of society seems to be actively hostile towards those who care to abide. Why do we accept this as a society?





  • I find you get much better results if you talk to the LLM like you were instructing a robot, not a human. That means being very specific about everything.

    It’s the difference between, “I would like water” and, “I would like a glass filled with drinking water and a few cubes of ice mixed in”.
