@djsmith42 @ryanflorence think of the things that AI can’t do (yet), eg judgment, understanding, taste, clarity, vision, focus, ethics etc and work out how to contribute those things as much as possible

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@suchnerve I would add that the best projects to distract from thoughts are ones that involve you having to concentrate on your senses. What you see, touch, smell, hear, etc.

@1masoren @suchnerve I think there is a battery powered train in Australia that never has to be externally charged because it carries iron ore downhill and goes uphill empty (at least, according to their marketing team)

@suchnerve @clarabelless or a water flosser!

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@Ian_McMian @pixelatedboat me too?

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@dannolan maybe also instantly lose your phone too? watch it get crushed or something

@TaliaRinger My guess is there isn’t much text in the training data that spells out the letters of the word it just wrote in plain text.

@sarah_edo I was surprised this hadn’t arrived yet, so in case someone hasn’t see it: https://t.co/ryKyBWgFdD

@housecor personal branches: no need for clean, just savepoints, can follow via git log how dev worked on issue

main branch: 1 commit per PR/MR, small units of atomic business changes

@jamison_dance “A Russian official’s threat to strike western satellites aiding Ukraine has raised concerns among space lawyers” (from The Guardian) … so apparently space lawyers are a thing?

@maikhoepfel Congratulations!

@rauschma Not prioritizing also means sacrificing whatever random thing you end up not being able to do because you tried to do it all…

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@DawnWagesSays I also have a LaCie that has done this. Sometimes it just starts working again later.

@jesslynnrose one of those jokes where you chuckle, then realise it wasn’t hyperbole

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@jesslynnrose makes sense; you‘re up against a team of professionals who spent months trying to hide it from you

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@zzzeek I vaguely remember dict.items() complaining if you change the underlying dict while iterating, if that is something that could be considered atomic.

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@jacobian It’s great that GDPR etc mandate notifications, but I do generally assume that vague notifications = bad, because if they were certain it wasn’t env vars, you would think they would go out of their way to say that.

@housecor I always wanted to build a site/app who’s main UI is an ical/shared calendar endpoint that you can manipulate in your calendar app

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@kcunning I wonder how many ppl in the world did the exact same thing: three elimination rounds, that 4th round guess, then a wait to come up with probably the only word left for those chars. A shared experience that no one will talk about.

[Will Hardy @whrde]

@thattommyhall @mrchrisadams makes sense: each “country” has to deal with their own pollution/water use. there is no annoying upstream neighbour to have to negotiate/fight with over the water that flows over borders. plus it’s much harder (also less deadly) to change borders.
