We should just call it “Mouse Cop” now

Any westerner who makes fun of those rules are the problem because it is so rude to do that in public. Whether that is smelling bad, taking phone calls on speaker, playing music, etc. it’s just plain disrespect to everyone around if you do those things in shared spaces.

Honestly it probably should’ve been implemented with Early Access being added to Steam at all. It’s one thing to take part in a game that is having features added over time. But if those updates stop coming and the game isn’t in a good enough state to release, the buyer needs to easily see that

Air Traffic Control are separate entities from the TSA. TSA is only responsible for security for passengers on commercial flights. ATC is responsible for directing the flights. So if anything, this is a result of understaffed and overworked ATC, though this is more likely the helicopter’s fault.

Pretty clear the Blackhawk should not have been where it was. Plus if it was, it would have been flying VFR and shouldn’t have been anywhere near the final approach for a major airport. Even if they were, they have a duty to avoid traffic under VFR rules.

Listen I hate Trump as much as the next guy but the TSA doesn’t have anything to do with what happens in the sky - that’s ATC. Separate entities. Hate him for the right reasons, not inaccurate ones. There are plenty.

When I first heard it, I wanted to see it for myself. It’s easy for things to be taken out of context, or things to be blown up. But this was egregious. Like undeniable. I can’t imagine this would look like anything else

Use your support network best you can during these times. It can be hard to do but we have to take care of each other. This will pass, you got this

I’ve had a lot of fun so far. Balance feels good and the battle pass is cheap for a F2P game. But the UI could use some work. Some of the maps are tough to play on too. Either way though, I enjoyed it

Code completion and the like is the biggest tool that gen AI is going to be useful for. Most of programming can be boiled down to the same simple problems.

That’s basically what LLMs like ChatGPT are doing. They’re taking all of those results you would have gotten from Googling and tailoring it to what you need. I really like using Copilot for VBA. I can write it myself, but it takes me way longer than typing in natural language to Copilot.

Turns out, nuance is important! LLMs are a tool. It’s only as good as the person using it, and it certainly isn’t for everyone. I don’t think it’s the savior like a lot of companies are painting it to be and it isn’t evil or “alive” like others are trying to say

Right there with you. If you don’t have direct human intervention over its output, you’re going to have some really bad results. Just today I had Copilot hallucinate and try to get me to use functions that don’t exist in Excel. And then it started spitting XML out at me lol

> is wrong, because it is wrong a LOT. But I like using it because for the simple stuff it saves me quite a bit of time. Being able to use natural language to get what you need is nice. But its usefulness stops about there, especially when you know how they work.

I use an LLM as part of my work pretty often. It has some *very* specific use cases that help a lot. I use Copilot specifically to help me work with some rather complicated Excel formulas and macros. It works well most of the time, but you have to already have competence with those to know when it >

This makes four pro volleyball leagues: MLV, PVF, LOVB, and Athletes Unlimited. I suspect we will see a merger soon.

Easier said than done, but keep yourself grounded where you can! I had a real tough bout with anxiety a couple years ago as a side effect from a medication. The only thing that kept me sane was my consistent grounding I would do throughout the day so that I didn’t completely lose my marbles

It definitely sounds like an Instagram competitor more than a TikTok replacement, though I wonder if something like that will be in the works soon.

If not Elon, then some other tech bro that is woefully out of touch with the people. Meta and Snapchat would both benefit as well with TikTok going away. And if they actually had a product that competed then it might work. But they don’t, so it won’t.

I have an IONIQ 5 as well, how do you know when the 12V charging system kicks on?

That’s not too uncommon for car batteries. The moment they fully discharge, their lifespan shortens incredibly and cold weather exacerbates that.

(2/2) pay the enormous amount of money to make a new mainframe system than to keep maintaining an old system that required a lot of information that isn’t well documented from when it was developed. The cost justification was insane but if they had waited it would’ve been so much worse.

I work in the banking industry. The bank I worked at spent a LOT of money transitioning from an in-house developed COBOL mainframe to a modern mainframe. I have no clue what it’s written on now. I probably don’t want to know. But they did it because it was quickly becoming cheaper to (1/2)

The labor market is being judged on flawed metrics. There are a lot of ghost jobs and companies using underhanded tactics to increase attrition instead of laying off, which means that economists who take those metrics at face value don’t see how many employers are shrinking their labor force.

I would argue they’re close but not quite there. It’s almost like you need to do the inverse first - you have to teach kids how to critically think and evaluate before they can use an LLM effectively. LLMs will lie to your face while fully confident and critical thinking skills are important
