The (singular) fediverse girl is kind of sad

This is why I roll my eyes when people talk about “human preference models” with a straight face

I’m grateful to live near a Mt. Sinai location. Another factor here is that some parts of the country have better healthcare than others. You might consider moving elsewhere in the U.S. or to another country if you anticipate continuing to need more than the occasional doctor visit.

Oh yes, unlike the French and Dutch…???

People here keep saying folks are more chill on the West Coast, but I’ve lived in NYC for two years and around California for 8 (mostly the bay area), and this hasn’t been my experience at all. If anything, I’ve noticed the opposite of the stereotype. The California folks tend to be very un-“chill” when I deviate from some social norm by accident, while New Yorkers are generally pretty accepting. I also find when I ask folks out west to be direct because I really need that they way my mind works, they still often don’t, but New Yorkers will. I’m not sure what others mean when they say the West Coast is more chill since it was so much harder for me to get by there-- maybe they’re talking about something else.

Though the image generators are actually good. The visual arts will never be the same after this

“Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes” – Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.

6.7% is still very high

Unpopular opinion: It’s OK to use AI to fight fraud as long as your data is good, your precision threshold is very high, and appeals are easy. It seems like it is almost never used in this way when people try to save money, sadly.

Not in NYC. Spectrum is my only option and they are flaky as hell

A non prime number of times… It looks like the string of characters could repeat number of times because the whole capture group repeats. I don’t see a prime constraint.

Think a bit before you talk. Hard for all of us!

I would have interpreted this the same way as the AI did FWIW. Then again, I don’t do frontend stuff, and I run when I see TypeScript in my hobby projects because it’s such a pain.

But why?

Just do a lightweigt process in a few docs and Excel, and meet in person often enough that you know what folks are doing. That’s SOOOO much better and more natural for getting real work done. Great ideas die in JIRA among endless planning meetings and premature decomposition and estimates.
