I have used AI to make a few games for my kids, and a couple of apps that I wanted for my own wants/needs. In both cases it was very frustrating and I cant beleave people that say the current state is ‘great’. It was barely fictional and needed constant over-site - if I didn’t know at least basic C++/PHP/javascript and html/css I don’t know if it would be that usefull.

It helped me to rapidly prototype, but needed lots of work to keep it on track. I can see how agents go rogue and delete whole dir trees etc.

As for the environmental costs, even with out LLMs I think we are fucked with what we have done up to now and what the US seems hell bent on bringing on us (the rest or the world)

my wife and I were either side of 20 when we married, it will be 30 years next year

When I was young we had to walk both ways up hill in bare feet and we liked it…

What was the question again, I have a poor memory these days

any way that ends up with the loops or the ends being at anything other than the same length

It cost you nothing to add, say, OpenNIC to your system

on the day to day I regularly do 12h during the day without food (almost every work day)

I’ve done a few 2 and 3 day fasts for various reasons

I’ve done 3 or so day stints when sick with rotavirus and when I fucked up my shoulder and waiting for surgery

All in all going with out food for 3 days is not too hard

I generally seed to a ratio of 10, but if it is popular with lots of seeds I’ll stop it early, anything with under 10 seeds I have set to seed for ever - some of them are now into the 1000’s for the ratio

So my point is maybe choose what to seed rather than limit the speed - but no judgment as long as you give something back

Quite like

I generally wouldn’t, but I do have a iPhone for work and got a good price on a M2 a couple of years ago.

The hardware is better than most laptops and the battery life way out preforms my work Win11 Dell of the same age

Now I need to know what I’m missing out on… I know the smell of formic acid, and can smell it if andts are really pissed off - but do they just smell?

Have a read of how much history is embedded in Australian aboriginal oral stories. Their stories go a long long way back

He alomost took it to the grave

see my post[s] above

How much does 1 cubic yard of honey weigh is it’s density is 11.5lb/gal. In metric it ia 1.4 tonne to the m^3 even if I only know the weight of 1 L of honey.

Fuck trying to do that i US or imperial units

ok, so i have a liquid (honey) with density of about 1.4 g/ml that is 1.4 tonne for the m^3

You had the same density of ~11.5lb/gal what is the above calculation?

just look at all that maths https://measuringstuff.com/how-much-does-a-gallon-of-honey-weigh/

[edit, shit my spelling is bad this morning]

I think the best ‘conversion’ thing in metric is not the mm/cm/m/km type ones but the volumetric type ones: a cubic metre of water/ 1 tonne / 1000 litres

What’s the equivalent un US units? 1 cubic yard / 1684.8 pound / 807.8961039 qt / 25852.675325 oz ?

Oh how sweet was our youth…

by tapping? or just using the rotary?

I don’t feel like a woman, but then I’m a 50 y/o straight white guy from New Zealand. I don’t fit the stereotypical NZ 50 y/o male either, that is: I’m not a big rugby or cricket fan, Don’t (haven’t) owned a v8, etc.

Learn to live the best you, for you.

Yes we have our problems, both social and in government. And many Americans seem to struggle with our low ‘standard of living’ and high costs of living
