@kelvin0mql@protonprivacy watching this carefully, as I’ve been meaning to move everything to Proton. Agree completely, though: adding “AI” would be a dealbreaker.
@awoodsnet Todoist on every device, work and personal.
I have a whole subproject for “PRs to be merged”, which helps me track concurrent streams of work. Easy to say “oh, I need to do these things but can reschedule that to next week”
I also set up recurring tasks for things like “update brag doc” or “take trash to the road”
I’ve been playing in the same tabletop dice-and-cards baseball game league since 1997. It pre-dates my marriage? What are some non-programming, non-video-game hobbies you’ve been doing for 10+ years? #grumpyhobbies
@grmpyprogrammer I started playing guitar in ‘03, and while my playing ebbs and flows I have multiple guitars—purchased new—that would be old enough to drink here in the states.
A had an excellent birthday dinner tonight with my long-suffering wife at Langdon Hall, one of the best high-end restaurants in this part of Ontario. Juniper glazed trout with beets as an appetizer; perfectly-cooked medium-rare beef tenderloin with a fois gras medallion and rutabaga three ways, and a pistachio ganach.
Is it me, or is ChatGPT4 getting...dumber? I'm generally using it in the same way I have been using it for the past year, but it seems like over the last couple of weeks I've noticed that it suddenly got significantly worse at giving me accurate responses and feedback.
@alexstandiford my take: in the race to train on more and more data, the bar has dropped. Scrape more and more data, quality be damned.
It’s now also being trained on some of the very same bullshit it previously regurgitated.
Garbage in, garbage out, or:
> We home-school 'em. I teach the big ones and the big ones teach the little ones. But no one ever taught me, which makes the whole thing just an exercise in futility.
The quoted article gave me an idea: What if browsers could send HTTP errors to servers. The first one would be “ You have violated the client data allowance of 1MB for this page: your page weight = 2.5MB”
@awoodsnet@IzzyOnDroid or a request header, something like X-IF-YOU-SEND-MORE-THAN-THIS-MANY-BYTES-IMMA-PUKE?
Imagine being able to tell your browser “accept only the first 1MB of HTML/CSS/JS/fonts” (you’d probably want to handle audio/video content differently).
If it exceeds the limit, you could say “nah, that place isn’t worth it. Please block any future requests to that terrible place”
Actually, this could be written as a browser extension… 🤔
Today, we said goodbye to our good friend and the best dog we’ve ever had, Charlie Brown. He fought a long battle with cancer, and finally, it was too much pain for him to continue.
Now, he’s gone. No one else in the world will know the love and loyalty Charlie gave us. That was for us alone. We will never forget him.
My dog’s 15 and change, so we’re preparing for the day when she doesn’t wake us up with her hacking (the cough kind, not the cool, “hack the planet!” kind)
@exchgr the silver lining is that he seems incapable of picking anyone that isn’t completely inept. If we’re lucky, his hand-picked leadership team will implode the party and his campaign before November.
