Yeah, I still like doing "weird" things wrt music and experiencing art, but I am not posting about it anywhere or paying much for it. Most of the really interesting things I've been to in the last 5 years or so have been very

My big gripe with spreadsheets is just that there's a lot of bloat on top of the spreadsheet which makes large datasets difficult to work with. Otherwise, I find them to be great deliverables.

I'm not surprised. Was part of an acquisition by a large F100 company. There were some "interesting" accounting calculations that we discovered 2 years after.

I agree with you that voice messages can die in a fire. Send a text, or call. I do not want to listen to a voice message.

I've been thinking about "accountability sinks" a lot lately and how LLMs further the issue. I have never heard of this book or author prior to this comment. I'll definitely have to read it!

It's highly task specific. I've been refactoring a ton of my Pandas code into Polars and using ChatGPT on the side as a documentation search and debugging tool. It keeps hallucinating things about the docs, methods, and args for m

I would disagree. It's been shown recently how over-use of AI impacts cognition; "use it or lose it" mostly. I immediately ignore any "I asked ChatGPT..." comments because I do not know the prompt used, if the claim

>But that's my 2 cents. Or is it really ChatGPTs 2 cents? Copy-pasting LLM responses is as useful as posting a "let me google that for you" link. It's a lazy response at a minimum.

How would you franchise out a product like software? I haven't really thought about that before.

It does make a difference. The big rock ice is great for whiskey and scotch the reason you mentioned; keeps it cold with minimal dilution. Crushed ice is great when you want dilution, like in a mint julep. It really depends on the style of

Professional therapists have to have malpractice insurance for this reason. LLMs currently don't.

Gaming in Linux is massively easier nowadays due to Proton. I haven't ran into an issue yet playing any of my games. One caveat to that is most of the large online competitive multiplayer games (CoD, Fortnite, etc.) won't work due

I primarily use it this way or as a rubber duck. I pretty much use it as a replacement for going on a Google adventure. When I use it for code, it's mostly as a glorified auto-complete or write some boilerplate I can't be bothered

The copilot integrations look sweet, as does the schema view. The MSSQL extension doesn't have those, but the rest of it looks similar to the Postgres one.

I approach it the same way. My tattoos don't "mean" anything, and honestly I find the ones that have "meaning" to not be that great. My tattoos do remind me of where I was in my life. I also stick to American tradit

I've got a background in neuroscience and transitioned to data science a few years ago. Your comment about the rabbit hole of modern biology is spot on. I've been hearing for 10+ years about how ML like computer vision will revolu

Something minor that I found to greatly impact my screen usage was to remove all the icons from my phone so that I am forced to search for the app. That minor bit of friction was able to reduce my habitual usage by 70~80%

Migraines being more than a headache has been the norm for at least 15-20 years. I remember hearing about how cluster headaches could be treated with psilocybin. I'm not able to access the rest of this article, but what's the new

The success of this game is amazing. You have AAA developers dropping close to 500M on development and taking a decade just to release a game that isn't fun and doesn't sell well. Balatro shows it's not money that makes a gre

I recently got my car totaled by a distracted driver. Somehow, within the week, I had 4 different law firms cold-call me and ask if I needed representation. Some were more unscrupulous than others, but I got pretty livid that something or s
