This article from last year compares LLMs to techniques used by “psychics” (cold reading, etc).

I think it’s a great analogy (and an interesting article).

FYI Tylenol PM does have acetaminophen. It’s Tylenol + Benadryl.

You should consider trying an equivalent dose of just Benadryl at night to give your liver a break, especially if you also take regular Tylenol during the day or drink alcohol.

“In October 2021, Governor Greg Abbott hosted the lobbying group Texas Blockchain Council at the governor’s mansion. The group insisted that their industry would help the state’s overtaxed energy grid; that during energy crises, miners would be one of the few energy customers able to shut off upon request, provided that they were paid in exchange.”

Incredible. Driving up energy needs to make their fake currency will help the state’s energy grid, because we can then hold the grid hostage until we’re paid.

I use this recipe to make 2 thick crust pan pizzas:

  • Flour: 420 g (3 1⁄2 cups)
  • Water: 285 g (2 1⁄4 cups)
  • Yeast: 4g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
  • Salt: 8g (1 1⁄2 tsp)
  • Olive Oil: 16 g (1 1⁄4 tbsp)

It works for thin crust too, just reduce the quantities by 25-50%.

Homemade pizza dough (and lean bread in general) is really easy to make at home by hand. The day before you want pizza, just mix everything together into a rough sticky dough ball, let it rest a few minutes, then knead until it’s smooth. Then stick it in the fridge overnight or up to 5 days or so. More time in the fridge means more fermentation and more flavor. After 5 days, it’ll start taking on slight sourdough qualities (though if you want an actual sourdough crust, you’ll need a sourdough starter).

I’m with you there. Maybe all the gray was off putting to people, but I liked that the ui elements were more visually distinct from the content without being overly elaborate and distracting.

These days, my daily driver is a gnome desktop on Linux, and it gets the balance right without looking dated, imo.

Copy+paste the article into GPTZero, and every sentence is flagged as likely to be generated text.

Furthermore, the article is utterly devoid of substance. Every section reads like boilerplate filler that could maybe be building to some larger point, then the article ends with basically “people use the OS that meets their needs.”

It’s a junk article on what appears to be a junk site.

There is nothing of substance in this obviously LLM-generated spam.

I see two possible reasons for your situation. One is that the company is turning to contractors to fill in gaps in their knowledge/experience, which is why everyone else has no clue how to tackle these tasks and why they get assigned the easy ones.

The other possibility is that the senior devs are gaming the metrics, letting the employees knock out easy tasks while the contractor is stuck with untangling the knots of the more intractable tasks.

 

First time braiding dough and making challah.

They are under expansion chips.

I was referring to the linked site, but yeah I’ve had turn on the option to hide bot accounts to cut down on some of the junk here.

The comment editor doesn’t seem to account for the formatting bar, because the bar obscures text being typed at the bottom when it is longer than the size of the editor. This is on iOS and v1.06.

This doesn’t appear to be a problem in the post editor, as I don’t see the same behavior while making this post.
