When it comes to answering questions that I feel are basic, I’ve had to acknowledge that other people have different strengths. Like this xkcd.

Instead I go based on repeat answers to the same or substantially similar question. If I have to explain something 3 times in as little time, I might start to feel annoyed.

Of course though I won’t every let it show, so the only real impact it makes is their ranking on my internal leaderboard of coworkers I’d be happy to see quit lol.

Cherish them more.

Saying “oh damn” to the guy you’ve literally damned for eternity as basically the poster child of damning is next level.

I mean, it’s very possible an it was written by “an AI” (an LLM). For all we know the prompt the user gave it was something along the line of “get your pull requests accepted no matter the cost” and it’s fancy text prediction decided, in it’s ever ongoing roleplay, that the targeted blog post would shame the developer into accepting it’s PR.

I definitely don’t under the paranoia though. I don’t understand how people are convincing themselves any of this so close to actual intelligence. Ask your fancy LLM how to fix your cup that "is sealed at the top and “open at the bottom” or if you should drive to the car wash to get a car wash if it’s only 100ft away - both scenarios obvious to most any human and will need to be trained out of the current leading LLMs (if they haven’t been patched already).

I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.

Half a year ago I accidentally git cloned to a folder named ~, so naturally I did rm -rf ~.

Mistakes were made. Fortunately I backup my ~ so it was just annoying.

I think it’s one way depression presents. Or at least, is a coping mechanism for. Especially for empathetic types.

“If I can make people smile, make their day slightly better in some way, they won’t have to suffer like I do, and I can derive a little bit of positive emotion from their reaction.”

I had a CR-10 vSomething a while back. Never really knew the version because it seemed like amalgamation of all their revisions.

I spent more time calibrating and dialing it in than actually printing. That was the first and last Creality product I owned.

I currently have a P1S but with the anti-consumer show they’ve been putting on if I do have to replace it I think the only printer I’d consider is something Prusa. Even though I’ve never had one, my first printer was a crappy Prusa clone that still was easier than anything else I’ve had aside from the P1S.

Yes, that’s the capacity I’m using it in. I don’t have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.

Just to add on to this:

Frigate is a open source solution that’ll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn’t atrocious. And you’d need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

My first ever appointment for depression I was given the wrong address and ended up in an unfamiliar area of the city at a location that looked like it had been abandoned. The office didn’t pick up my repeated calls. Then I had to drive through rush hour traffic home, my 35 minute drive there was 1 hour 30 minutes back, alone with my thoughts. Questioning my sanity.

They callously tried to charge me a no show fee as well.

I let it set me back years. I still count my making it home as a minor miracle. Not sure what point I’m trying to convey, for some reason this post made me relive that experience.

I guess just don’t give up. Call, explain, hopefully they can fit you in.

My sister uses a variation of this closer to a traditional lighter with a long neck to light her candles. It’s rechargeable, and she’s been using the same one for over a decade.

That makes sense. I’m fortunate I with in a dog friendly environment.

My doggo is 14 years old - I’ve been in apartments where he wasn’t allowed and my parents watched him. You’ll find your opportunity!

Also that doggo looks like my coworker’s dog Honey!

Here’s mine!

Also a former Joey user, though I switched to Lemmy before Joey stopped working and just used both.

Ditto. Yesterday had shit piled on shit and I am still reeling.

What does it mean the US is shoes on? In my entire life the only family I know of that did that was a hoarding family with layers of filth on their floor.

Damn that’s new since I was messed with this. They even have MQTT! Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have to switch over lol.
