Sure, may as well record the professor and no one needs to go to class at all.

That's a project that will take generations. "Rebuild all the cities". Ok.

That makes sense when you consider it thinks about entire words and pieces of words, not letters.

I completely agree.

I think it's highlighting that most people don't give a shit about art. I'm not making a judgement, it's just how it is. Art (I know this is a massively broad term) I think has suffered from a lot of gate keeping due to

Who cares? A couple hundred years ago the avg person couldn't read at all. I find it annoying that people equate long form writing with "the default way humans are supposed to be". The default normal way of a human is being a

No it isn't. Think of the average driver during rush hour. Now be happy that person gives a fuck about bees at all.

I've been using GPT this way. "Write the header file for a function that does X." Now write the implementation. Does a great job when prompted with a header file.

I still have no idea what RSS is used for.

This is where I'm at. The job is to think. You can't frame a house at home in the shower, but you can think about an LDAP solution to get at switches on the other end of a VPN tunnel etc.

I've been thinking about that. The IT industry doesn't lend itself to boundaries very well so I think I'd like a career where work stays at work.

I did the exact same thing. Chased my passion through 30, burnt out, sold out, and am now burnt out on the other side 10 years later. Might sell all my shit and become a carpenter or a framer.

Wow, super cool. As a musician, I find it oddly unintuitive to think of it that way. I guess I approach it more as a bouncing ball, linearly from x=0=>, left to right.

Very cool. Makes sense too. At it's heart, it's an event signaler. Doesn't necessarily have to be music based which is the case for lights and other stage production gadgets.

So what?

Woah woah woah, career death, please be considerate. /s

That's my argument though. If being yourself is such a threat to your way of life you feel like you'd be outcast, you need to change yourself.

I don't think this video sells that though. It comes off as a pivoting non answer to me.

There's a big difference between being something you're not and not being so abrasive that you'd be immediately fired.

Salesmen gonna sell. Not sure what the value of this video is.

Well then it sounds like you need to work on that. You weren't born a potty mouthed cynic, you choose to be. And if choosing to be that way makes you feel like you can't be yourself, well, you should work on yourself.

You're right, the chips are not speaking 16MHz to each other. I've always revered the computing era where the electrical engineering actually mattered. Cheers.

Plenty of manufacturing still uses outdated OSs because they have to because they vendor no longer exists, doesn't care, or the machine itself is old and no longer supported. Manufacturing plants are also excellent targets.

Oh you won't even be able to load a modern web page on XP or before so no worries there.

Are you suggesting Microsoft patched every vulnerability?

by alar44 4y ago
Absolutely. I've been using it to create Slack bots over the last week. It's cuts out a massive amount of time researching APIs and gives me good enough, workable, understandable starting points that saves me hours worth of fiddli

These threads are getting tiring. Yes, ChatGPT is shitty at math. It's not supposed to be good at it. It's really good at what 99% of the population throws at it, but of course the internet dorks are huffing and puffing that it ca

The internet is the town square. Twitter is a shitty bar on the square.
