That’s cheating :P

The hallucinations are real. I don’t use them for longer stuff, I demand admin time for anything that’s longer than a paragraph. But for quick office politics type stuff that I don’t really care about but also need to not get ground under and also worry about coming off as blunt I’m kinda grateful to have it.

I have noticed that damn near every email I get that’s longer than a paragraph seems to come from copilot though.

Tbh I’m starting to fantasize about switching to a trade. Front line office work is for the birds.

Copilot is okay at being a copy editor for my work emails. I struggle with tone so its nice to have a built in thingy that strips my personality out of my emails. Specifically my emails to my supervisor.

For example, “hi supervisor, I checked and that email was sent an hour ahead of the deadline from the email you sent me on date x and I was waiting on access to y. What the hell are you ccing your bosses on this for,” turns into “something something per your previous email something, if I misunderstood something something, thank you for your guidance.”

In a perfect world I would have time to write all my own emails but my job is very… Communication heavy, let’s say, and I personally have a lot of work to do directly with clients that can’t simply be put off.

Tbf they’re the only ones using the agentic features, and they’re definitely the only ones using frontier models for it. That shit gets expensive fast.

The maintainer of the project probably won’t see it here, but that repo does appear to be fairly active, they’ve got thousands of merged PRs. If you contribute a better logo they might replace the AI one.

it would be funny to put a plaque under it.

Abuse is a pattern. No parent is perfect. Abuse is about power and control, and as you noted this specific action is part of a larger abusive system. So absent that larger system of abuse, being a blabbermouth is a normal ass character flaw. Stop trying to diagnose people on the internet.

My problem with ACC is that it makes traffic worse. A competent driver can look 500 feet up the road and think “oh, brake lights, I can literally just coast down and we’ll be going the same speed when they start moving again.” But ACC only looks at the car in front of you, so you get this constant accelerate and brake cycle that ripples backwards. Like on open road its fine, as long as you keep the following distance at a reasonable level, but I swear every asshole with a late model SUV keeps theirs set on tailgate mode, and it means any slowdown turns into stop and go

Edit: also cc is hella inefficient and will chew up a good 10% of your fuel economy on hilly terrain. If you set and forget it’s basically an “I would like to pay more money to the oil company please” button

I had never thought about it but me too. My meals almost always look like this:

1. Canned or precooked protein
2. Boiled Grain
3. microwave steamed vegetable
4. Canned beans
5. Seasoning
6. Like 10ml of a fat

This sounds nasty when you genericize it but tonight I had mac and cheese with rotisserie chicken and broccoli. If I threw some sizzle words in there you’d think it was fancy.

An al dente artisinal pasta folded into a rich, velvety emulsified cheese reduction, tossed with succulent hand-pulled rotisserie chicken and vibrant, flash-steamed crisp-tender broccoli florets.

See? Fancy.

Judging by MBS’s steam account, the next Battlefield is going to be an extraction shooter about the coalition of the willing securing pipelines and putting out oil field fires. Also Tehran doesn’t get nuked in the game, it got nuked 20 years ago, and this is framed as a Bad Thing With A Silver Lining. The Line is your primary hub city and your ground vehicles are things like solar powered Abrams and cybertruck but good

These posts genuinely brighten my day a little bit. You’re cool, nycto. You’re cool. I was gonna tag you as “uplifting spongebob memes” but you’re already tagged as “shitposter supreme” so imma leave it

They’re not, but you can rep farm without there being a system generated total. Reputation is a thing that lives our heads.

In the dugout. No helmets when you’re fielding. Maybe corner infielders should wear helmets, they’re the most exposed of any fielder to line drives, but they don’t.

I think that means you raised the GDP of your block by 500x. You two make a pretty good team! You should both get some kind of medal for driving such economic growth.

Edit: hang on a second, is your landlord Larry Ellison?

Every time I try to use reddit when it comes up in search results they slam the door in my face with pop ups demanding I install the app or log in. Can anyone even access enough content on reddit to convince them to join anymore?

Stealing and spending cash is theft. Stealing and using a credit card is theft plus fraud. The sketchy guy I bought weed from in high school taught me many life lessons but the most important one is this: don’t break the law unless you have to, but if you do have to, break only one law at a time. Of course, he got arrested, but that itself taught me not to get involved with organized crime and not to sell drugs out of your landlord’s house. Ray was a smart guy.

I found the extra pixels, I trust you can add them back in yourself

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is often called “the wizard book.” Not because Abelson et al believed computers were actually magic but rather because there’s a wizard on the cover and they compare the act of programming to spellcasting, giving instructions to the allegorical beings that live in the hardware. It certainly feels like magic.

The take on the left doesn’t understand reality, and the take in the middle doesn’t understand fun. The take on the right is trying to have fun but is spoken by someone who understands the take in the middle is the literal truth. If the person with the take on the right actually believes computers are magic then they’re actually on the left no matter how much they work with computers.

not quote. attached is a reference for identifying corn. please reach out if you have any further questions.

i was scared for a moment that that would be a screenshot of my profile

Edit: with added context, ew, I rescind my self deprecating joke. i don’t hate myself enough to compare myself to that
