Also this.

In programming there is also the Heisenbug: as soon as you try to observe the bug, it disappears or changes its behavior.

One year the entire family got a stomach flu over the Christmas holidays. The kids were around 3-6 years old and didn’t know to throw up in a bucket in the night; they just vomited all over the bedsheets each time. We nearly ran out of sheets and had to load the washing machine in the middle of the night to keep up, while taking breaks to puke and shit. My diarrhea was so bad that my blood pressure dropped while sitting on the toilet, so immediately after dropping a load I had to lie down on the floor to avoid passing out, only to pull myself up seconds later to puke in the (now diarrhea-filled) toilet bowl. Meanwhile I hear the kids crying and puking outside and my then wife being pissed that I’m not helping.

“Everything” - find any file on your machine instantly. No need to update an index, it uses the NTFS master file table directly.

I don’t think it can get the information for this with 100% accuracy unless the process is same for all Bose headphones. How did it go?

Why not? I told it the model (Bose 700). It searched the web for information for that model, found an article that described how to do it, and provided me with the key points without having to scroll past tons of ads and noisy language. Of course it sometimes gives me the wrong info (usually because the sources are incorrect), but I’ll notice soon enough.

How did this go? It can hallucinate stuff even when you post static data to it, last time I tried.

It went perfectly. Again, there are certainly times when it makes errors / hallucinates, but I can fix those manually. In my example of producing flash cards for my son, we obviously had to proofread the cards but that’s much faster than writing all the cards by hand. One out of the 20 flash cards had a nonsensical question/answer so we just removed it.

I use it all the time, and not just for myself or for work. Yesterday I fed my son’s study guide into ChatGPT and had it create a CSV file with flash cards for Anki. It’s great at any kind of transformation / summarizing or picking out specific information.

When school sends me overly verbose messages about everything that’s going on I can feed the message into ChatGPT and have it create an ical file that has events for the important stuff that happens in school in in the coming week.

I used it to write a greeting card for my dad on his birthday (“I’m giving him X, these are his interests, give me ten suggestions for greeting cards”).

I have it explain the reasons behind news stories (by searching for previous information and relating it to the news story). I ask tons of questions about anything I wonder about in the world such as chemical processes, the differences between oil frying and air frying, finding scientific papers about specific things, how to factory reset my Bose headphones… the list goes on.

Probably just a missing token

Smoke weed everyday

Such a lousy multiplayer game though. It was designed to give the better player handicap so their lead only increased over time, since you were awarded with more lemmings for the next level if you won the previous one.

Rimworld

Sure, some of the choreography wasn’t up to par with modern standards. But the script was actually interesting, whereas the prequels are just an illogical, boring mess.

Check out Red Letter Media’s review for tons of arguments for how bad the prequels are. I agree with pretty much all of their points. And while the original movies also have problems, they aren’t anywhere near this many or this bad.

Yes but you only get the subsidy if you buy Melania’s book

Except the old movies are much better when compared side by side to the new ones, nostalgia or not.

If the phone saves its state before rebooting, why would that help? It will still be accessible after the reboot. What’s the attack vector?

As if the best people won’t leave once the layoffs start

Yeah, won’t work well with multiplayer games though since they typically have anticheats that don’t play well with Linux.

I own my PC. The annoying thing is that I might have to pay a subscription for the gaming OS that I dual-boot to sometimes. Might just make me buy a console instead. OTOH, Sony already charges exorbitant subscription prices for the ability to play online.

I absolutely love the scene in “Interview with the Vampire” where Lestat is found hiding away in a room, distraught by all the creations of modern civilization.

I doubt you’ll find any proof that he is against free speech. More like, he cares about other things more than he cares about free speech. Such as his bank account.
