This was our company too. They struck some sort of deal with chat gpt that we use their base code, but aren’t connected to their machine learning. Feels like a pretty reasonable approach in my opinion.

So our training was, “use ours. Don’t use anyone else’s because we don’t want our proprietary information out there to never be able to be scrubbed from the internet”

I don’t have a ton to add to this, but the Playstation controllers even pair with mobile devices with basically no setup. It’s impressive

Probably “stupid.” Hence the weird spelling

This is a lesson I try to teach my kids every day. When they get upset they can’t do something, I ask, “well whatd you learn?” And sometimes it’s as simple as “that didn’t work.” Other times they think for a second they try something new.

Failure is a learning opportunity. Take advantage if it.

Venmo usually, but many banks have built in cash payment apps too.

I’m 35 and never had a PayPal account and have never felt the need for one

When I was a coop (intern), and I’d run out of work assigned to me, I’d head down to the floor or a lab and just talked to people. In 6 months, I knew more about the process than people who had been there years

Thats just the difference between a good engineer and a bad engineer. A good engineer designs things around how others are going to use them, and the design with tolerance. They would have known you use 50kg bags, and realized that’s what you’re going to do.

In my field, we know people are gonna put things together with a hammer if it’s too tight, so if it’s intentionally a tight fit, we make it so there’s no room to swing a hammer

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if they like pineapples or swingers, but if you see an upside down pineapple, they’re swingers. Thats just usually not an option on clothing

Do you sit at the bar and wear pineapple swim trunks? That’d probably help

Is this real? I hadn’t heard that part yet

I think it was sent late night, and the implication is that they will be waking up soon to see it

We have a saying at work…

“All models are wrong. Some are useful.”

Some office work too though. If you want to actually win the contracts, you gotta go fast. Granted, it’s not fast all the time, and we can plan when those contracta sprints are coming, to an extent, but I would definitely describe my office job as fast paced.

Not to mention when the customer changes the statement of work you’re bidding on…

Me too… wtf

How many kids choked on these things? They seem perfect for blocking airways

My wife does. But she’s a sucker for “a good deal”

I dont ever click on them myself, but if I start searching for something I need/want, and I see a brand I’m familiar with thru advertising, I’m more likely to explore their product, at least. Simply just because, “of I’ve heard of this before”

As a dad of two girls, these jokes exist in a lot of kids stuff. Part of what makes it funny is you’re not expecting it, so it catches you completely off guard. Then you laugh out loud and you kids either laugh too because they think there was something funny to laugh at, or they just look at you like you’ve got 2 heads. Both responses only make it funnier to me

This games in a weird spot. There not enough to keep hard-core fans going, but players like me who will put in probably less than 200 hours a season, it’s good. It’s still my first season, I’m not level 100, and I’m having a blast leveling, taking on new bosses, and exploring. Works about to cut into my play time a lot more in the next couple of weeks, so I’m already thinking ahead to making a different character next season.
