Literally looking at a car I want to buy and the 4 colors are white, black, grey, and blue. Blue is actually just a cold silver. It barely looks blue.
On my current car, I ended up with white because the only one I saw in blue was charging $1k more than the one I got that had a higher trim package. They called me the day after I signed the purchase agreement to say that they decided to lower their asking price to $2k below what I paid. I still think about that…
Should really be

I’ve had this happen where I fed it some ebooks and the responses it pulled were nonsense. Eventually I pulled JUST the knowledge stack and queried it, only to find it spitting back garbage.
Turns out, epub processing had been broken for a while, but nobody noticed… And they still haven’t fixed it, so I have to convert them to txt first…
At least it’s better than them trying to gaslight you into thinking you’re wrong and they’re correct…
Set it to hibernate when you close the lid. It’s a full shutdown so the sleep timers don’t run, but the ram contents are kept, so it’s only slightly slower than starting from sleep.
That should be the default, but OEMs are weird.
I loved when my IDE would warn me that my code wasn’t deterministic unless I used c++11 or newer compilers because previous versions technically didn’t define how it should work, so every compiler handled it differently.
And all the times I had to specify C++11 because it had features I needed, and suddenly it was a huge headache because the testing pipeline wasn’t REALLY compatible, it just said it was, and then handed it off to manual review. Something I didn’t know until 6 months after I started using it…
And as all my chemistry classes taught: if there’s a common name for something just use that. “Table salt” is completely acceptable as a term. As is “Vinegar” and “Water”. When the exact source/concentration/purity begins to matter is when you can use your fancy terms.
Literally at my restaurant right now the burger with 3 smaller patties is more popular than the burger with 2 bigger patties. Same total amount of meat, just taller on a smaller bun…
This is the only correct answer. I never said “degrees” anywhere, so it’s obviously Kelvin!
Set your water heater lower. Like: make sure it’s above 120 at all times (130+ preferably) to prevent legionnaire’s, but 140 is PLENTY for most home uses. And it means you get a bigger range to move your mixer taps to.
Windows won’t even let you format them in fat32 anymore! Which sucks when the device you plan to use it for TECHNICALLY supports exfat, but there’s lots of community posts about how the drivers for exfat regularly corrupt the drive if it tries to read/write too much…
I found out my automatic feeder is just ignoring daylight savings time. I’m getting the notifications “an hour early”, and the app acknowledges them as being an hour early, but it still checks off the correct feeding time in the app, so I guess it all works out?
I don’t care unless I’m drinking the Kool aid and actually really wanted the feature. If it’s not something I personally use: who cares? Bit of a bummer that feels like it was all for nothing, but ultimately I still got paid for that time and effort, which is all I’m really going for anyways.
Honestly, my right hand looks BETTER than my left hand. Only explanation that makes sense to me that I’ve heard is that since I know I suck with my left hand, I take it much slower and pay more attention.
I found this out when an old phone stopped getting updates, so I was gonna push a third-party OS, but no, even though it was a carrier unlocked MODEL, Verizon locked it and refuses to unlock it. So the phone is just gonna be out of date forever, I guess!
To be fair, I caused a massive problem when I accidentally filled the drive completely, so I’ve been a little more conservative while I shop for a larger HDD. Thinking of getting a 20TB HDD so I don’t have to have 4 different drives plugged into my computer. (I remember when my 3TB drive was considered crazy big…)
That’s what I was thinking! Mine is over half a TB at this point!
Honestly I constantly get home and go to take out my keys and remember like 3 pieces of trash in there…
Two-Dice Pig. So not a super complicated game, but still fun to try to leverage the… 3 point totals to calculate a risk vs desperation factor. Though looking at the code again, the hard limits feel weird. Like just straight up not allowing the risk of more than 35 points at a time (100 is a winning score, tho)? Though I do remember that I HAD to add the condition to force it to claim victory or it’d essentially get too cocky and would lose everything. I know that two-dice pig is essentially a solved game (as much as you can solve a game that relies on random chance), but I felt using a lookup table was boring, and wanted it to feel like it was actually an AI that could make mistakes, and had a semblance of a personality.
I do enjoy messing with AIs and making them do stuff they weren’t supposed to do… In fact, with the same prompt, my phone’s local AI urged me to not stop eating the paella, and just keep eating it until my body adjusts.
