Is entertainment wasteful?

If you jump at the right moment, you can achieve weightlessness.

It’s not a waste if its sole purpose for existing is to rot on porches. It’s just a bonus if you can squeeze out another use, like becoming an emergency room curiosity.

I am a pc gamer and I have the latest-ish video card. I got an expensive card so that I can play any game, but really don’t consider graphics much anymore. You are correct, some people still chase that aspect of video gaming. I think if you have been around for a while, that desire fades. I have lots of low res games these days.

Nice

I read an article about this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_in_a_vat Thinking about this myself lead to the conclusion that the amount of information that would need to be generated and maintained just for my brain would be prohibitively enormous. All the people in the world and their states and history. The combined knowledge of mankind. I started thinking about quantum mechanics though and that kind of threw off my conclusions because the state of particles is not known until you measure them, which seems like an optimization of sorts. I don’t know, but it is interesting to think about.

What are you referring to? I don’t really understand the whole hexbear thing. What is their beef and why do conservatives get a pass? They are mostly just an annoyance though, I just ignore.

I have had the same experience with text and images. Not sure what is up with that. As for code, it is really helpful for generating boilerplate stuff that you probably don’t want to do yourself. Rapid prototyping and proof of concept creation is another. I suggest trying it out to see what it can do to make your life easier, but you will have instances where it just won’t do what you ask. I kind of enjoy the back and forth to get things working and I feel it saves effort.

Just explain what you are trying to do like you would with a person and it will give you the code. It probably won’t quite be what you want so refine your request or post a photo of the errors you might get and try again.

If you are working with a language that you aren’t familiar with it is very helpful. Just remember that it has been trained on all the code on the internet, so it knows a lot.

It is a great tool, with limitations, of course. As the developer you have to know how to apply it to get the most from it. You can see from the downvotes that there’s a lot of negativity towards llms, but I have positive experiences with using ChatGPT.

Eh, if it ain’t right, I just bounce it back to ChatGPT to fix. With enough guidance and oversight it will get there.

I hope you are right about the left not accepting a Trump win. I don’t even know why he’s a legitimate candidate with the whole insurrection thing. Openly gaming the election? Felonies? I don’t think the US can survive four more years of this guy, so I think the time for passively accepting his shenanigans is over.

How will the camera categorize someone with an led cap?

Yes exactly. Federal relief agency cleaning up and assisting after a disaster.

This has to be the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while and I get a lot of dumb shit these days.

He’s projecting again because he knows he would be doing underhanded shit like he’s accusing democrats of doing if he were in power.

Thanks, I work on now somewhat obscure stuff. Hopefully I can hang on for a while longer. AI is amazing but I don’t think it is ready to do my job yet.

100 chickens, how do I choke them all?

Can you be more specific about the software reports. I am in software so I would like to know if my field is dying.
