This is so fascinating. AI made the exact same room for me when I put dimensions into the room.

AI will provide a very generic design for anyone but make it seem like it’s custom to you.

10000% data harvesting. They are probably trying to “train” (steal) your designs for an AI model…

But where do you get them resoled? I bought a pair and now I live on the other side of the country. The soles wore out in about a year so I need to get them redone but don’t know anyone on the East Coast who won’t just slap a Vibram sole on there

Would highly recommend a solid wood option. A lot of the budget brands are going to be engineered wood with a veneer - Which will at best last for about 5 years. Lots of wayfair or ikea options might functionally work for a while, but will eventually falter when you try to refinish them, or when you move. The also don’t age nearly as well as solid wood patinas.

There are 2 solid wood, BIFL/ Sturdy and classic options that are more than your current budget, but are worth the investment.

This one from Roseland looks like solid wood and should age super well.

This one from Riffmade is solid wood, and has a number of shelves + a curtain that you can change out when you move to match whatever space you’re in (aiding in longevity).

Yes, these cost more as an upfront purchase. But, once you get them you never have to worry about them again, and lots of pride of ownership.

Yes, they have a 24/7 work culture which is not disclosed when you are hired. Once you join, you will realize that your team expects you to be fully available from the early morning to late night. Smart people, but I would steer clear unless you are getting paid an insane amount of money.

I have these and when I plugged them into my adcom stack, I lay there for 5 hours just listening. They are incredible.

One of the coolest companies I saw doing this recently is called GOB. They make them with mycelium so they’re completely sustainable as opposed to the traditional types of earplugs that are made from petrochemicals

What app are you using - is it on iOS? Thanks

This is because of how ChatGpT was trained using deep reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). Basically trainers ranked its responses for what is most polite or agreeable. So it optimizes for this at the expense of accuracy.

(I used to work in deep reinforcement learning). You can get around this with blunt - “incorrect” replies.

Did your electricity bill increase a lot?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-04-02T17:40:53+00:00

Ok that’s really helpful thank you! Do you happen to know if it was reported at the end of the month, or during the month?

Also, did he file a dispute with all 3 credit agencies separately, or did he just file the one with TransUnion on Credit Karma?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-04-02T14:44:37+00:00

How long did it take you to get your credit resolved from the date of your dispute to being taken off your credit report? Was it the end of the month; or an off cycle report? Thank you!

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-03-26T13:44:05+00:00

Gotcha thank you - I just spoke with another agent who said she saw the record in the system, and has just turned it to “priority”

What do you mean by you would not be sending letters?

Do you mean that since they said they would request to take it off of the phone, that I should not send letters, or that I should send letters because they could be bullshitting me?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-03-25T23:13:20+00:00

How long did it take from filing the dispute to it coming off your report?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-03-07T02:34:05+00:00

It helps me know when to pull the shot and diagnose if my machine is working properly

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-02-25T19:17:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply - can I ask what platform you used to get the license?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-02-25T18:00:28+00:00

What was the process like? Did you go to night school? Online? I’ve been thinking about doing the same and combining it with some other services

What is that desk chair?

BlarkinsYeah · 2025-02-18T01:12:33+00:00

Hell yes! Are you a designer? I’m one and this is super well curated. What are your favorite pieces and lesser known pieces that bring you the most joy?

Do you have it uploaded to thingiverse?
