@FincherAlison Great book!

@johnhfio Aren't these the actions of a well adjusted person? The AirPod was clearly unrecoverable, so she got on with her day without making a fuss

@goodbye20202022 Exactly what I wish for in a girlfriend 🥲

@dan_abramov I don't think one can exist without the other

Remember... GPT is just an algorithm... It's not sentient, but it seems so intelligent and so human

@GergelyOrosz This could have been an unintentional regression or side effect of an unrelated change, if someone was moving class names around or refactoring

@notbaldanymore That's a hard fall for Ned.

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets.

It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial.

For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...

@Hayate_musica People say Chinese is hard but I find Japanese much harder. This is from the perspective of an English native. The grammar is difficult to get the knack of, word order is quite different, inflections and other dimensional changes also add to the complexity.

@waronweakness If people didn't consume, you wouldn't get paid to create anything. Without consumption, people are unable to create for lack of knowledge and inspiration. Excessive and unnecessary or otherwise unhealthy consumption is the enemy, but not all consumption.

@bedairk @LacunaParadox @RatSagittarius @verysmallriver What the shit is this thread 😂

@shannonlitweets Some Weworks used to have free beer on tap in the UK (from 4pm onward). Don't know if they still do it though. Do they do that in the US?

@prdoyle @codingyuri I'm glad that you brought up the etymology of "patronise". It makes sense, being how fathers tend to speak to children. But I still don't agree with prefixing verbs with the gender of the person doing them. It would be no good if I said things like "womancomplaining", would it?

[Raenton @raenton]

@prdoyle @codingyuri How could I be condescending by openly exploring the meaning of something which I was admitting that I did not know much about? I went in search of meaning and raised a question. I was speaking to them as an equal, not as someone who thinks they are superior and knows better.

[Raenton @raenton]

@prdoyle @codingyuri Is there something wrong with contemplating what mansplaining is? I'm sympathetic to patronisation but there doesn't need to be a special word for men.

@shannonlitweets "Say the right thing, say it quick, and say it in less than 280 characters. Go wrong on any one of these points and you're f*cked!" - Twitter, basically

[Raenton @raenton]

@shannonlitweets And the lack of nuance and being able to express oneself fully before being exposed to judgment is like walking into a minefield
