   I remember when "Internet addiction" was a thing. I guess when enough people get addicted to something, it's no longer considered to be an addiction. When I am people watching, sometimes I am reminded of the TNG episode of st

   But CBD does not need heat to convert. I have a hypothesis that taking cannabis (and especially CBD) out of our food chain may be contributing to the increase¹ in prevalence of chronic pain. ¹ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ar

   Schools can barely teach reading and math. So civics is probably a de facto study hall at this point.

   They're too focused on hiring ML people and not enough on hiring highly experienced web people. The painful slowness of long chats (especially in thinking mode for some reason) demonstrates this.

   (Tamper|Grease)monkey scripts are easy to review, which is why I prefer them over the normal extensions. Also, they're easy to write for simple fixes rather than having to find, vet, and then install a regular extension that brings 600

    The web app has < and > icons to flip between different branches. I don't see them on their mobile app though.

    I've observed on many occasions that complaining seems to be the primary go-to ad-hoc subject in spontaneous human interactions in the past decade.

    Same here, I just limit my use of genAI to writing functions (and general brainstorming). I only use the standard "chat" web interface, no agents. I still glue everything else together myself. LLMs enhance my experience tremendo

    > "imagine the dumbest person you know. Now realize 50% of people are stupider than that!" That's not how Carlin's quote goes. You would know this if you paid attention to what you wrote and analyzed it logically. Wh

    Sounds like a gold star ego purity thing to me. I.e., they are proud to have never intentionally used AI and now they feel like they have to maintain that reputation in order to remain respected among their close peers.

    Using documents for state helps so much with adding guardrails. I do wish that ChatGPT had a toggle next to each project file instead of having to delete and reupload to toggle or create separate projects for various combinations of files.

    That fad is a few hours old. Now we leave comments about people who think it's just trendy now to say "it's seen as cool to hate AI right now"

    I'm getting up there in age and I'm getting a bit tired of designers moving things around. It's taking longer to update my muscle memory each time. I still get pissed off at the Play Store app regularly for moving the search

    I got crazy obsessed with EvoLisa¹ back in the day and although there is nothing in common between that algorithm and those that make up training an LLM, I can't help but feel like they are similar. ¹ https://www.rogeralsing

    And then what? Nobody will accommodates you. Suing for ADA violations will cost $20k just for a retainer. And then it's a gamble if you win or not. And the US government wants to aggregate us into a list for who knows what reason.
