I used https://www.movemap.io/explore/us after moving cross country, and after narrowing all of the criteria I cared about I ended up with only two counties left, one of which I had moved to! All of the confirmation bias in the world in that anecdote, but I stand by it being a good tool.

It’d really be nice if “Huh. This protects corporate interests more than taxpayer interests. Denied.” was a thing in government.

To the other player: “Hey, that’s cool and all, and I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m not going to take it. DM, I cast <spell>.”

There’s a tsunami of them coming, and they will all beach in the Great AI Outage of 2028, just you wait.

This assumes that Jr Dev wanted to be trained, and could be trained. I’ve known some AI-brain “devs” from before AI was a thing.

If someone can’t be bothered to read an error message, can we really be expected to teach them how to debug? Etc.

Mobile keyboard without spellcheck, I make thr exact same typos as thst poster with my thick fingers.

The irony? 16GB is enough for running a mid-size LLM, to not connect up to the cloud.

The irony is that Doofenshmirtz is pretty good standin for an out of touch corpo CEO

“Mysteriously”

Do people not know their own language when they write shit for publication? It’s proscribed, not prescribed. Fuck.

It’s exclusively about the leading vowel sound, rather than an actual vowel. E.g. it is a one-dollar bill, a unicorn, a European country, and an heirloom. There are plenty of initialisms that start with vowel sounds that are even less questionable, e.g. an NFL contract, or an FBI agent, vs a CEO, or a TMI situation. Regional differences exist, but are mostly about whether the leading sound is or is not pronounced, e.g. a historic occasion (american english) vs an historic occasion (british english).

Help, the potentially intentional grammatical error is making me engage and I hate it!

It’s cool that Vestige warlock can get Spirit Guardians via War domain spells, and the Vestige itself seems pretty big on HP. Can take pact of the blade to be a melee bruiser, with the vestige backing you up from range. I haven’t checked to see if there is any other way to get both SG and Extra Attack by level 5 using only 2024 core-and-expanded rules yet, but this is an exciting development!

She has a very specific ideology, and the bailout disagrees with it. She’s an awful human being and I hate all the things she says and does, but at least she’s somewhat consistent about her stance?

If you are skilled at task or knowledgeable in a field, you are better able to provide a nuanced prompt that will be more likely to give a reasonable result, and you can also judge that result appropriately. It becomes an AI-assisted task, rather than an AI-accomplished one. Then you trade your brainpower and time that you would have spent doing that task for a bit of free time and a scorched planet to live on.

That said, once you realize how often a “good” prompt in a field you are knowledgeable in still yields shit results, it becomes pretty clear that the mediocre prompts you’ll write for tasks you don’t know how to do are probably going to give back slop (so your instinct is spot on). I think AI evangelist users are succumbing to the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.

Ah yes, the plot of Caprica

Before you roll any dice, the chances of rolling two nat 1s are 1/400. But after you roll your first die, whatever it happened to be, your chances of rolling a nat 1 are 1/20. The chances of the entire scenario have no impact on the probability of the individual rolls
