Instead of my ID, I submitted a picture of dolphins and the text “So long and thanks for all the fish!”. And never came back.

But people keep expecting them to do their math homework, analyze contracts, and generate perfectly valid content
People expect that because that’s how they are marketed. The problem is that there’s an uncontrolled hype going on with AI these days. To the point of a financial bubble, with companies investing a lot of time and money now, based on the promise that AI will save them time and money in the future. AI has become a cult. The author of the article does a good job in setting the right expectations.
It goes… doo doo doo doo dooot…
Yeah, missed opportunity that would have actually been useful at the time.
He wanted to be popular with the regular, poor people. He was throwing money left and right but always denied where his wealth came from. He wanted to come across as a self-made, honest man. Some believed it, or just weren’t willing to accept the atrocities he was capable of. He was overthrowing the government, blaming it for everything that was bad in Colombia, and wanted to appear as a savior, hence the contrast he was creating by wearing simple outfits in certain public appearances. But he did also wear suits and shirts that were considered tasteful and fashionable at the time.
Well, I did not expect this.
Added an extra shelf to my shoe rack today. After measuring, cutting, drilling, even made little notches below the shelf, barely putting the shelf in because of hinges in the way, vacuuming the mess, halfway packing up my tools and call it a successful day and… doors won’t close because of the hinges on the doors hitting the shelf. Moved it 5mm lower after drilling another set of holes.
There are websites detecting adblockers that instruct you to disable them in order to view the website. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between ad companies and adblockers.
And I would like to not watch and hear 3 x 10 seconds unskippable ads when one of my parents wants to show me some 30 seconds funny cat fails clip on their phone.
You could also let grounds settle in the cezve and just be careful when pouring. Then you can add milk if you want. But that’s not the turkish way, it’s the east european way.
Pour it in your cup(s) while it’s hot and let it rest after making. No milk or sugar added, because it means stirring and the leftover grounds won’t deposit to the bottom of the cup. Or add the sugar along with the coffee before brewing.
As for brewing, it’s customary to bring it close to boiling until it foams (slow heating, and stirring the pot a little), pour some foam into cups, then boil it again. In any case, turkish coffee is always brought to a boil twice.
Traditionally it’s made on hot sand, which assures slow heating, and stirring the cezve by just holding the handle is easier, by doing it in broader motions.
The position is randomized.
We already have “Three-Body”, a recent chinese production series from 2023. 30 episodes, tedious to watch, but ok quality. So no thanks, Netflix.
Is Keepass there? Good. Upvote.
Unique style paintings will become even more valuable in the future. Generative AI only spews “art” based on previous styles it learned / was trained on. Everything will be even more rehashed than it is today (nod to Everything is a Remix). Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting than an AI generated one.
Sure, for general digital art (ie logos, game character design, etc) when uniqueness isn’t really mandatory, AI is a good, very cheap tool.
As for the “everyone becomes a programmer” part… naah.
Turris Omnia. Powerful hardware, auto updates, config backup / restore (with anti-bricking feature), SIM slot, etc
Pack it out, pack it in, let me begin…
Hmm. I unmount mine to reduce noise. Didn’t think about endurance though, curious to see opinions too.
And I would add that if you are behind with your installments, creditors can only hunt you down for 50% of your income (subtracting any other credits you may have / owe), so you don’t typically go bankrupt because of loans. Of course, for a mortgage, you do lose the house, but I’m talking about general loans so-called “for personal use”.
They also don’t really care about credit ratings.
Exactly. Credit scores are a scam and an incentive into having a credit card and overdrafting.
Instead, there are laws that restrict you from buying or mortgaging at a monthly cost higher than x% of your monthly income
It’s called “level of indebtedness” or “financial burden” and it’s typically 40% of net monthly income. So you cannot get a loan that would put your total monthly installments (counting all of your credits) above 40% of your income.
Paint a wall in a certain pattern, using multiple colors. It needs time for planning, time for buying tools, and time for execution.
Fix something. Replace dying batteries for electronics, take a look around the house, anything you can find parts on ifixit for. It requires focus and skill, gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment, and you benefit from your items longer. Also cheaper in the long run.
Tinker around the house. There’s always something broken or in a bad condition. Repaint stuff, reapply stuff.
Build something with your hands. Try woodworking.
Gardening unfortunately is usually done outside and during the day, but you could try indoors hydroponics or vertical gardening. Try to automatize it.
Learn programming. Learn hobby electronics. Arduino is easy to learn and requires both. Could help with the automatization above. You can find cheap clones and parts. You mainly work with DC under 12V, so it’s relatively safe.
Be curious. Watch Youtube videos about any subject you might find interesting, learn how stuff works, no matter how familiar or not they are. A lot of times I don’t have the patience to watch a show, but I find myself getting into a Youtube / Wikipedia rabbit hole about cryptography, programming, how games are made, how mechanical pinball machines work, lockpicking, painting, large buildings fails, quantum physics, astrophysics, photography.
