Unexpected Debian.

It even has a ⭐️⭐️ rating considerately printed on the disc as a warning to anyone who might be interested.

As instructed on the disc, you should wear headphones. Buds or speakers just won’t cut it.

Kinda miss the bad old days when 1.5 €/MB was considered super cheap (about 5-10 €/MB was normal). It made you frugal. You tried to avoid going online, instead of scrolling all day long. I have very mixed feelings about that time.

I’m ok with that.

However there’s also [email protected] if you have lots of positivity to share.

That observation doesn’t surprise me, since about 10% of the population is gay. Other types of queer people are a significantly smaller minority.

Also, the term queer just rolls off the tongue much easier than an acronym that never seems to be inclusive enough. I like this word better than any of the acronyms, but I can totally see why some people don’t want to be called queer.

I don’t really follow the US news that much, but I have been watching some legal eagle videos from time to time. It’s been pretty wild. Seems to me that laws don’t really matter any more.

Well, recently I also saw a news headlines about federal courts ruling that certain executive orders were illegal etc. I guess you may still have some hope.

Ignore the big price label you see on bread, coffee and other food items. Look for the small number in the corner that says €/kg. That’s the only number that really matters in the long run.

If you have only 15 € in your pocket, and you need to survive till the end of the month, this tip might not be very helpful, since you also need to be aware of the sum you pay at the checkout.

It should be 1 week + a few hours, so they the gum appears in the mouth when the person is sleeping. This way, they might wake up in the middle of the night because of the horrible taste in their mouth. Ideally though, they would wake up in the morning and find that there’s a sticky gum in their hair.

What? How can they do this? This is outrageous. It’s unfair!

Also, “Don’t crash into the oncoming traffic” and “Watch out for that moose” long time favorites of mine.

LOL. Good one! This sort of stuff just ruins LLMs for future generations.

Anyway, I’ll see what I can find. Thanks.

Oh that sounds useful. With chatGPT you can actually just dump that into the settings. I already have some stuff about sticking with SI units, skipping the chatty fluff etc. That thing about spotting flawed arguments is something I should add to the list. Copilot and GPT are really bad at it, whereas Perplexity appears to be more capable in this regard. Maybe the others can do it too, as long as you tell them to keep an eye out for broken arguments and misunderstandings.

The fun thing about the soviet medals is that nowadays they are collectables. The same stores that sell old coins and stamps, usually also have some soviet era medals to choose from. Best of all, that hobby isn’t necessarily very expensive either. Some of those medals were manufactured in such crazy numbers, that they might as well be coins. Judging by the prices, these medals don’t appear to be very popular for some reason.

Like a default prompt that starts every conversation? Haven’t found a way to do that.

GPT has a place in the setting where you can tell it to skip the flattery and follow up questions. Copilot doesn’t, but it’s just a budget LLM in more than one way, so that checks out.

Those participation trophies remind me of soviet era medals, awards and decorations people got for all sorts of interesting reasons. If you hand out millions of medals like that, you gain a new understanding of what inflation really means. Same applies to trophies and even complements.

Speaking of treating LLMs as people, I’ve noticed that my response style switches depending on the situation. For example, when an LLM asks an overly chatty and pointless follow-up question that derails the entire conversation, I can just simply ignore that. When a human does the same, I tend to address that in some way out of politeness. When it comes to LLM interactions, politeness like that just flies out the window.

LOL. Yeah, this feels much more natural. Even though people can nowadays direct their stupid question to an LLM, forum type conversations still have their place.

I’ve heard a different variation where pavement is replaced with ground in general. That version applies to shoes, beds and basically anything between you and the earth.
