Taylor Swift is actually a very evil person. Based purely on the fact I haven’t heard any bad things about her. 🧐

In a different timeline I’d say this is amazing. At this point anything that exposes my personal info, without express permission, is not going to be used to my benefit.

After the recent Nazi outbursts from Grok I’d be amazed if it wasn’t banned in Germany.

The tool I use can rewrite code given basic commands. Other times I might say, “Write a comment above each line” or “Propose better names for these variables” and it does a decent job.

My boss insists I use it and I insist on telling him when it can’t do the simplest things.

Just the other day I wasted 3 min trying to get AI to sort 8 lines alphabetically.

Not specifically but I think the guidance is applicable to most incisions of the heart. I think the fact that it’s a muscular and constantly moving organ makes it differently than something like an epidermal stitch.

And my post isn’t to say “all mistakes are good” but that invariablity can lead to stagnation. AI doesn’t do things the same way every single time but it also doesn’t aim to “experiment” as a way to grow or to self-reflect on its own efficacy (which could lead to model collapse). That’s almost at the level of sentience.

Eliminating room for error, not to say AI is flawless but that is the goal in most cases, is a good way to never learn anything new. I don’t completely dislike this idea but I’m sure it will be driven towards cutting costs, not saving lives.

My son’s surgeon told me about the evolution of one particular cardiac procedure. Most of the “good” doctors were laying many stitches in a tight fashion while the “lazy” doctors laid down fewer stitches a bit looser. Turns out that the patients of the “lazy” doctors had a better recovery rate so now that’s the standard procedure.

Sometimes divergent behaviors can actually lead to better behavior. An AI surgeon that is “lazy” probably wouldn’t exist and engineers would probably stamp out that behavior before it even got to the OR.

Their dumb redirect link didn’t work for me, probably because of adblock.

If it’s a mostly self-contained app, like a game or a utility, then Flatpak is just fine. If a Flatpak needs to interact with other apps on the host or, worst case, another Flatpak it gets tricky or even impossible. From what I’ve seen though, AppImage and Snap are even worse at this.

Small thing, but if you’re torn between two or more choices look and see if one uses accessible screws to attach handles. Mine are kind of snap on and one of them is loose. I’m thinking I have a 30% chance of breaking something plastic during removal and having to buy a completely new handle.

I would try myself but don’t have an X account and don’t want to cause a miscarriage or lung cancer in South Memphis.

Fair point but nuclear will probably always have the disadvantage of initial cost and time to market. It’s a huge risk for investors and public officials.

As I’ve found out recently, finding true alternatives can be difficult. Take bread for instance. I just discovered Bimbo Bakeries own at least 26 brands. So when you’re on the bread aisle you probably have a moderate to high chance of buying one of their products.

It’s okay. Maybe more disappointing than outlook in some ways. It has a weird hybrid approach where it’s almost like a browser in some ways but I’m not seeing how that adds to the experience.

With everything he does the issue is the implementation. Deport criminal aliens? I’m all for it, but most of the deportees have no criminal record or they accuse them of crimes as if it’s the same thing as a conviction.

Part of Trump’s grand plan is to make federal elections span only a single day. So maybe you check your status the day before and everything is fine, but the day of voting a glitch in the system says it can’t verify your citizenship. That’s it! No votes for you this year!

We’re so ass backwards my go-to thought was the censored version.

It’s good at giving a new perspective or helping mental blocks.
