Yesterday it tried to tell me Duration.TotalYears() and Number.IsNaN() were M functions in the first few interactions. I immediately called it out and for the first time ever, it doubled-down.

I think I’m at a level where, for most cases, what I ask of LLMs for coding is too advanced, else I just do it myself. This results in a very high counts of bullshit. But even for the most basic stuff, I have to take the time to read all of it and fix or optimise mistakes.

Play fireworks compilations on YT to desensitise. My dogs sleep through fireworks. They’ll some times bark but it’s because they hear other dogs barking down the road.

Mine’s 35. 40 is illegal unless you’re a medical doctor. And legally I have to be paid overtime for every minute over but it’s my choice.

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so
Why can’t we just admit it?

They are characteristically similar some times…

The US sees an item not referred to by a corporate brand name, and wouldn’t have it.

They’re not alone in it, but their suseptiblity to macro-marketing can only be described as “American level”.

I loved it in the tropics. 40C day, then right on 4pm, BAM!!! It’s 25C, there’s an epic lightning show, 10 mins later it’s gone, the roads are steaming, and a nice balmy 28C night kicks off.,

That’s not disturbing; that’s completely fucked up.

If they want to buy data to use for AI, they can pay someone to license their voice for its use. What they’ve done is no different to bootlegging, but it’s worse because it’s personally identifiable data.

You’re confusing the Muslimics with the Islamians.

I’ve had someone recognise I’m a drummer because of the way my leg bounce made the bench move. Apparently my anxiety ticks groove.

Well, it’s not the worst concentration camp, but I’d rather be in a POW one.

Yeah, in my experience they’re underpaid and cop abuse all day. There’s a lot of tears, sick days, and anxiety in customer support, all of it young, much of it abusing substances to get through the day.

The kids aren’t paid anywhere near enough to deal with your attitude, nor should they be expected to. They aren’t the business; they’re the poor sods that have to work for them.

Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager who has backed President Donald Trump in the past, on Thursday pledged to use his money to bankroll a challenger to Mamdani in the general election.

Case in point.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”

Things aren’t so bad if you avoid doom scrolling and comparing yourself to others. Almost any other time was worse to be alive in.

That’s fine. Being the fastest at getting from A to B using just legs is rarely a deal breaker. Though, you’d have probably tried harder if the trophy was called the “Least likely to die in an open field of zombies trophy”.

You’d win plenty of trophies if they made an event for the stuff you’re best at.

There’s an increased likelihood of a party changing and causing a break in stalemate situations. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen, but there is an increased likelihood.

“ball of fire”

Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.

Political options aren’t ruined by two-party system, so there’s flexibility.

Options and diversity generally results in progress and balance.

It felt worse. Getting a recognition certificate or a white ribbon for coming fourth was a total bummer to my care-factor for participating. Kick a kid while they’re down and they’re not likely to be motivated.
