I'm thinking about this image. Each generation reduced the distance their kids could roam, despite experiencing broader freedom themselves (or perhaps because of it).
Did the parents remember close calls or scary circumstances that they wanted to protect their kids from?

I don't think there is enough discourse about the fact that there is plenty of room there to draw larger, average adult sized breasts
Trump had to go out of his way and and keep the line high in the available whitespace to make the figure look as flat-chested and young as possible
Absolutely sick

Still not seeing the more modern API Gateway types available in New Zealand region. I really want the HTTP API Gateway type that was launched back in 2020, as it is 1/3rd the price per request.
Pretty disappointed to be 5 years behind here on a new region

People are acting like this is something cool and cryptic. Let's be honest, its exactly what you'd expect a rapist to be posting

Not surprised at all. This is actually a bailout to socialize the costs of a failing company. It’s not an asset for the US government, it’s a cost center

Lol, AI naysayers are so desperate to make AI energy usage look bad that they have to add in 10 image generations and three five second videos to pump the numbers up. The energy usage numbers from those fifteen questions was looking too good I guess 🤔

I’ve had it working on some strange stuff recently. Here’s how it depicts me and itself conversing:

I’ve searched online to see if anyone else has ever synthesized the writings of these two people and couldn’t find anything.
This is what LLM’s are super good at: taking several somewhat obscure things from the breadth of human knowledge and pulling something from it. Depth is more lacking though

I don’t know if this proves you wrong but you can ask it about things that humans have never written. Yesterday I asked Claude to explain the context behind John Donne’s “ask not for whom the bell tolls”. Then to compare Donne’s philosophy on interconnection with that of Alan Watts. A fragment:

To me, the Nigerian home pictured here represents real, tangible wealth that can't be matched by overpriced McMansions on sale in dead US suburbs. Soil, solar, sustainability, and community collaboration (such as micro-grids) are true luxury: knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

I believe it is unethical to prompt AI in this way.
I don’t feel like making a big moral argument here, but this doesn’t pass my personal “don’t be an ass” vibe check. Plus I don’t believe stress based motivation is ideal for good results

Am I "vibe coding" or not? This prompt shows some of the techniques that I like to use to get the best results from AI:
1) Mention files by name to use them as context
2) Be specific: describing an optimization I want
3) Don't be too specific: no strong opinions about how the physics math works

Unless the solar panel is absolutely shattered it doesn’t have to be disposed of. Even relatively poor quality tier three panels should still be at 80% output after the stated “lifespan” of 25 years. There are some early solar farms and private installs that are 40 years old now and still in service
