@stuartbuck1@cremieuxrecueil The screwworm reached Costa Rica during the Biden administration.
The main USDA facility producing sterile flies was shut down in the Obama administration. The Trump administration is already planning to 3x-4x production with a new factory.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger That's reasonable; I'm not a huge fan of the degree of integration, a ton of products definitely weren't ready for it, and some of them still aren't (eg, all of copilot, most agentic stuff).
But it's good to know what you're skipping, if you do choose to avoid it.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger Agreed there. You _can_ get some serious criticism if you aggressively ask, sometimes more biting than I've gotten from humans, but it's a dumb thing how hard you have to press.
(and although unfortunately most of my examples are gay furry review, so probably not helpful here)
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger The toy design and planning is actually for a small summer camp project I'm hoping to scale to sell to 4-H programs, and that's fair to say it's less normie, but it's also not a _career_; even the optimistic sale case is a pretty crappy side gig.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger The air conditioner one's a common home repair (and goes from ~150 USD to 500+ USD if you ask a professional to diagnose). Very commonly overlooked. The crankshaft/camshaft position sensor is a rarer diagnosis, but it represents a fairly typical problem set for home repair.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger That's fair. You can change the tone pretty aggressively with a system prompt or just asking (eg https://t.co/KmtP09x1MM or https://t.co/sDkbYu1dgQ), but it is annoying default and a (fair) critique of how most of the user-facing tools have been set up.
(and burns tokens)
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger You're right to be careful about outsourcing your evaluation to the tool (and I'll caution about outsourcing memory!), because even the best make sometimes goofy errors (see the last turn https://t.co/X8WLmMYv68), but you can use it without trusting it.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger I can't give the medical one because it's someone else's cancer diagnosis, but https://t.co/ME6DOMSRQU or https://t.co/aV2AuW8x0g or https://t.co/KtpToVOSfF are sorta thing that get /expensive/ to do if you're not making a career out of a thing... but hobbyists benefit from.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger The 'hey, what does this medical diagnostic actually mean, when I can't get a second opinion or answer from a doctor in days' is the sympathetic story, but the 'hey, how the hell do I even plan out safety compliance on a kid's toy as a rando entrepreneur' is more irreplaceable.
@aggressive2hu@perrymetzger I share a number of concerns about the scammers and the larger-scale economic impacts, but a lot of the reason the tools are dangerous is because they're useful.
@Recursion_Agent Fair, and if you match the vive it’s usually a lot less likely to get guff in return.
Apologies for explaining the joke when you may well be more familiar with the modal situation than I am.
@tracewoodgrains Uh... I'll admit I didn't read it to closely (and am too faceblind to identify), but my first impression was that the post was implying he looked _weirder_ over time in a way that could have been explained by the lighting, but I guess if you don't think "space alien" for Clav...
@The_Petrichory I'll generally pre-bag, especially for anything you eat the outside of, but it's more for other people's safety than my own -- you really should rinse any produce immediately before use, no matter how careful you were between the shelves and the home fridge.
