Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.
The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.
so I confuse the number of ounces in a pound quite often, amongst other things
When do you need to use either of these?
I know the number of pounds in a kilo so I can understand the Americans when they talk about weightlifting and how much people weigh. I don’t think I’ve ever used an ounce in my life.
Right. That’s why they overreact to everything, and bring old military equipment on swat raids.
They’re much more likely to panic and drive an APC through the crowd or return fire on a mostly unarmed crowd using automatic weapons.
Just ask yourself, “what has Israel done recently?” and remember that US police train with them.
I live in a walkable European city.
My nearest library is 5 minutes away, there’s a bigger library maybe 20 minutes away, and for anything further I’d take public transport.
It’s interesting. There’s a lot of talk about how chatgpt makes people lazy, but honestly I think Google killed the “read the manual” ethos.
Back in the day when you couldn’t just search for everything, you needed enough understanding of the manual to find anything in the index.
So a key part of figuring anything out was reading at least the start of the manual.
Now, fuck it, you just type into Google and try to guess enough context to understand what’s going on.
To be fair Berlin is 100x better than the rest of Germany.
You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.
Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.
The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.
Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.
But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.
Across Europe there’s different recommendations in every country, and no evidence of different illness/mortality rates related to the recommendation.
France says tap water is safe for all ages.
If you’re in the US, I totally get why you might want to keep boiling your water, but remember that boiling doesn’t remove lead.

Also, I want it to go to people outside my org that I email back, not random spammers and salespeople.
For some reason, the only option is to use people in my addressbook which doesn’t auto populate and I never use.
BMI works quite well for typical people.
Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it’s not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.
If you think it’s muscle and not fat, there’s another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio
But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you’re not as fit as you think.
How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?
I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.
The text behind him in the poster.
The crown and gown just make him look like Biggie.
That’s half true.
The problem journalists have is that investigative work and going outside the office is expensive, and with the collapse of print media, most of their jobs have been replace by this slob tabloid/journalism by press release.
So that’s all at risk.
That’s exactly how I handle my five month baby, just with more screaming and pooping.
A big shout out to Oxford spelling which mixes American and English spelling and is incredibly hard to find a spell check for. It gives you all the extra u’s and z’s you could ask for.
It’s literally in the clinical name.

Broadly there’s two important reasons for why it’s called this, when it used to be either Asperger’s or autism.
So it’s called a spectrum to recognize that there’s a wide range of symptoms and not everyone presents in the same way or requires the same support.
If it’s only 300 calories, it’s probably a diet shake and packed full of fiber to make you feel full. You’re better off switching to normal milkshakes.
As you’re vegetarian, I would get really into dahl cooked with ghee. It’s incredibly tasty and has so many calories.
It’s also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.
There’s a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.
