Clarification for green. Does it require physical contact or is it like a Death Note situation? If it’s the former, don’t we already have that ability? What about non-bio-based materials? If you eat a rock and poop out a rock, does it also now qualify as poo?

I’d wager a lot more than some need a Callum to explain what they should think about anything, given the state of things.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Technically, only a small section of California is part of the Cascadian region. But so is most of Idaho… And I think just about everybody would be happier if we made that trade.
- Comment on WATER! 2 weeks ago:
I find you get much better results if you talk to the LLM like you were instructing a robot, not a human. That means being very specific about everything.
It’s the difference between, “I would like water” and, “I would like a glass filled with drinking water and a few cubes of ice mixed in”.

Sometimes, as I approach middle-age, a desire to have kids creeps into my fantasies. And then something like this comes along and snuffs that desire out.
On a separate note, that batman suit is dope.

I feel like I’ve got whiplash over the general public’s perception of Snoop over the last decade or so
- Comment on California is debating whether or not to remove the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a politician was driving his car 5 weeks ago:
That car lane is such an offensive waste of hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure.
Replace it AND the bike lane with a train that can carry 10x as many passengers at a time as both the car and bike lanes combined! Bonus, it can even fit bikes on it! No such luck for the cars though… too bad.

Careless/reckless driving entirely normalized in America. Think of the number of people you see speeding, rolling stop signs, blowing through pedestrian crosswalks, speeding up to make the yellow light and “accidentally” running the red. Think of all the people who chat on the phone, attend work meetings, watch videos, do their makeup, and eat entire meals while behind the wheel of a moving car. Think of all the people you’ve heard essentially bragging about how much they speed, who bemoan all the “slow” people on the road who are just going the posted speed limit, or who feel they’re being unfairly targeted when they get a speeding ticket for going ten-over.
Chances are if you’ve driven a car in America then you yourself are guilty of having done some of those things. I know I certainly am, though I’ve been intentional about taming my own hubris behind the wheel over recent years. But it’s hard to accept that what is normal to you is also wrong or dangerous. Especially in a survivor biased environment like reckless driving culture, where nothing bad generally happens to you until it does and then as people get more reckless the higher the chances are you won’t walk away from an accident. And so when you see a post online, shaming people for something you do on your way to work every day, you get defensive because to you that’s just normal behavior.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 2 months ago:
As a software engineer, definitely. Things that might have taken days writing a boilerplate framework and reading through docs to find out how to figure certain things could take hours now. Now I don’t have to spend hours learning how to use the data visualisation library in order to fix the one donut chart on my company’s site, I can ask AI to do it in minutes and make edits where needed.
It’s certainly not perfect or infallible, it spits out garbage a lot still. But since I have a deep understanding of the stuff I’m working on, I can recognize when it’s spitting out garbage and recalibrate.

- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 4 months ago:
I’m going to be migrating to Linux and using Mint. I’m just paranoid about doing something wrong and accidentally walking into a security vulnerability. So I want to set aside time to properly learn things and understand what I’m doing but I’m just busy AF these days…
- Comment on Polar bears 4 months ago:
180 seconds (3 minutes) is a hilarious overestimation. Unless you’re counting the time it takes to bleed out.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 4 months ago:
This made me think of that time my partner’s brother told me in complete earnest that he’d be able to jump off a skateboard going 20+ mph and run it out based solely off the fact that the fastest recorded human running speed is 28 mph and therefore he, an average fit 20 y.o. should be able to achieve 75% of that.

As much as I resent religion, I do believe it’s fundamentally a human problem. People everywhere have a tendency to corrupt beliefs in order to justify being assholes to one another.

Jumping to Linux for sure. The hardest part is going to be finding time to learn it first…

My mom used to make me add a can of mixed vegetables to my instant ramen until we agreed that I could eat them separately. So I would quickly force down the bland, mushy veggies then enjoy my ramen in its pure form.
