It’s so painful to look at anymore, lol.

The barrier to entry is silly.

Be warned, there’s an ad supported version under a very similar name in the PlayStore. It’s worse in every way and has some permissions that it shouldn’t be asking for.

I’m with you, I’ll spend a lot more on a house or accept a lower paying job to avoid commuting.

This word sequence is like a brain rot of English. So many native speakers refuse to say, “I have seen.” It’s driving me bonkers.

Garmin Instincts are amazing. Looks like a dumb watch, has most smartwatch features, the 3 Solar version lasts 40 days between charges.

When they let him “work” there and didn’t chastise the franchisee for politicizing their brand, I was 100% done. They were my favorite go-to fast food for over 30 years. I’ll never eat there again.

Plus it skips most pay walls. Even if they load the text to pay when the page opens, if you refresh after enabling reader mode, you’ll get the entire article.

Broken arms

Reminds me of the scene in 300 when he asks how many warriors they brought. We brought real comments.

They were bought and made for profit.

I knew the context, was just being cheesy. :-D

I think the human in the loop currently needs to know what the LLM produced or checked, but they’ll get better.

To be fair, GHz did go up. Granted, it’s not why modern processors are faster and more efficient.

Why so many sig figs for 5 and 1.3 though?

I uninstalled copilot and that bitch reinstalled itself.

They have a free version on their website you can try yourself without a login.

Woah, that’s crazy. It’s instantly responsive. I wonder which LLM is feeding it. It must cost a fortune to run for free.

Bagels and Calculators

I once believed a bagel was a sacred, noble thing, A circle of wisdom, a torus of spring. Boiled in tradition, baked into lore, Yet here I am, watching folks spread mayo—what for?

They tell me, “If you can’t make the dough by hand, You’ll never understand the bagel’s true stand.” Knead it, proof it, roll it tight, Or else your breakfast ain’t done right.

But listen, Professor of Flour and Yeast, I have a toaster, let me feast. You scorn my shortcuts, my modern ways, Like old men shouting at clouds for days.

You once claimed math must be long and cruel, No shortcuts, no gadgets, just suffering in school. Yet now, in pockets, machines hum and glow, Cranking out answers you swore we’d not know.

So pardon me while I sip my brew, And bite this bagel, fresh and new. For whether it’s dough or sums or gears, Progress rolls forward—it has for years.

I think it could be understood to mean between the two skill sets, having a total of five years experience. But that could be 7 years of python and ten minutes of FastAPI, so it’s still a bad metric.
