I can't do it. Flies. So many flies. Horsehair. Scratches. Bumps and bruises. The barn is a Pants Place.

American Meadows has really good plant range maps. They're a seed seller, yes, but their site is easy to navigate and find stuff on, and they also have a good meadowscaping learning center page: www.americanmeadows.com/content/mead...

Kids, parents, siblings, friends...people in active addiction lay waste to all the lives around them. It's horrific.

Not to mention, a lot of folks are donating limited funds. Once their charitable giving is exhausted, that's it. That money going to a crime lord instead of to people who actually, desperately need it is measurably, absolutely harmful.

I am peering through my window and can't get good shots, but it is VERY INTENSE!

I feel like, losing my sister, my dog, and my auntie in the space of a few months should get me a do-over on the year or something. Right?

Oh, I definitely will! Thank you! I'm SO looking forward to having a functional knee again after, but not so much the process to get there

My tolerance for whine is about zero, lol! Thank you very much! I've actually had 2 acl reconstructions, cartilage insertion, MCL repair, and arthroscope cleanup done on this knee previously, so I have alllll the kit, except the special anti-clot sleeves and such, apparently.

Every single "new AI product" I've seen get launched is a solution to a problem that absolutely does not exist. It's absurd. It's so disconnected from reality it makes me feel gaslit.

It's genuinely starting to feel a little ludicrous at this point. Thank you <3

As an official Stars bandwagoner this year, I do find it a bit cringe, but they've created such an unreal atmosphere in that arena for the playoffs in Dallas, I'll let a lot of things slide. STARS!

Every time I took my last car in to the detailer, there would be a frantic flurry of calls around to find someone who could drive manual, and usually I ended up driving it into the bay myself. It always made me laugh.

We're not that kind of tech, and it's not that kind of work. This definitely isn't about folks with brain problems, it's pretty safe to say.

It's probably less critical for things like product proposals. But when I see people using "AI" for all their writing with just a few tweaks here and there, it concerns me, because literacy is an important skill and it's important to practice it to maintain fluency.

I guess it depends on the kind of document. But I view writing much like any kind of language skill: the less you use it, the poorer your ability becomes. This translates to the ability to organize and articulate thoughts and communicate effectively.

I have to take them for the full month leading up to my joint replacement and my stomach is NOT HAPPY. this is bullshit.

context is important. I pretty clearly wouldn't say this to someone with an actual brain problem, because I'm not a monster.

I can see that working for developers (I am not one). I've seen data science ML be extremely useful, especially in image analysis and data processing automation, but in terms of text generation--documents, not code--I've never had a good experience with testing an LLM.
comment in response to

Sure, in some situations, in very structured ML environments where the "AI" isn't one of the commercial (and terrible) options. In every case I've tested any of the LLMs, my own product is far more reliable, accurate, and coherent. Why should people learn to use bad tools?

I've started with the "oh buddy, got a brain problem? Thinker not working so good today? don't you dare run that without a sanity check, or I'll walk out when stuff catches on fire" when one of my coworkers comes in hot with a chatgpt generated script at work, and my GOODNESS is it effective.
