“A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia”

LOL, what a poet!

LOL. Several levels deep in first world problems…

Yeah, that would be nice. My previous car had a diesel engine, so you can imagine how much I would have loved to have a heater in there. Also, the windshield was totally old-school too, so no heating there either. Just start the engine, and start scraping. Every. Morning. Well, at least the seats were warm, but literally nothing else was.

Yeah I have those gloves too. They’re ok for mildly chill weather like 0 °C, but when the inside of the car goes below -10 °C you really begin to miss proper mittens. When it’s -20 °C, mittens are the only realistic option.

In colder parts of the world you actually drive with mittens on. I have no idea how’s that going to work with modern touch screen cars.

I only know one method. You just destroy the rivet completely with a small metal drill. It’s not clean or nice, but who cares as long as it works.

And if glue isn’t holding it together, consider using rivets or screws instead.

LOL. Yeah, you gotta crank up the GPT in this genre. What was previously seen as a flaw has become the central tenet.

Just tried that, and I couldn’t even find a blog post that addresses exactly what I was looking for. Sure, there were many about adjacent topics, but not my niche interest. However, the AI answer at the top did much better because it was specifically tailored for me.

However, when I’m looking for more general information, I do tend to find blogs written by AI.

Oh I’m sure there is a way. We’ve already grabbed the low hanging fruit, but the next one is a lot higher. It’s there, but it requires some clever trickery and effort.

That’s just musk talk. I’ll ignore the hype and decide based on the results instead.

Interesting. In other models that was a serous problem.

Since basically all data is now contaminated, there’s no way to get massive amounts of clean data for training the next generation of LLMs. This should make it harder to develop them beyond the current level. If an LLMs wasn’t smart enough for you yet, there’s a pretty good chance that it won’t be in a long time.

They’re happy to have a job, but I’m not so sure they’re really happy to see their talents wasted on something like this. It’s the executives and investors who wanted this. Do they even know what they’re asking for…

Alternatively, upgrade every year, but always to a used phone. If you’re like 2-3 years behind, the hardware upgrades aren’t that expensive, but you still have the latest software.

I’ve been using DDG for many years, and I haven’t looked back. Recently, I also set up Qwant on my laptop. So far, it’s been pretty smooth sailing.

Swapping Google Cancer to Apple Cancer is one way to reduce your dependence on Google, but I’m not entirely sure that really solves the underlying problem. Either way, there are a few Google services that I could replace with alternatives, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I guess, one day I just need to start paying for a NextCloud subscription or something.

Just so you know, it’s totally fine to ignore Google and use something better.

How is photography profitable now that AI can generate images, there’s no shortage of stock photo sites and there’s no shortage of willing photographers? How are you supposed to compete in a market with oversupply of photos and photographers?

If you really want to play this game in hard mode, you can also pick other arts like poetry or painting. Should lead to bankruptcy just as fast.
