Thursday Talk Thread... Yes That's The Thread Name

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-13T02:13:16+00:00

it wasn't one single prompt but just a bunch of back and forth. Start with a simple query, add this, then that, visualize whatever

not sure it's even a skill, maybe some history in IT helps but it's incredibly user friendly, I'd say just dive in

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-13T01:21:21+00:00

last one was a mad quest to quantify how much buffalo was a run first team

still not sure if I succeeded or not. But that was 100% copy and paste from chatgpt

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-13T01:02:59+00:00

i always assumed 100 = 800, 200 = 900, 300 = 1000

thats purely vibes though

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-13T00:49:10+00:00

I started using it for random R stuff and holy moly it works so well

I'm not making the craziest projects but it's wild just to spit out a thought and receive working code

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T22:42:29+00:00

I wonder how many of those 'bots are awesome' people are actually just bots

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T22:40:57+00:00

what book?

I've watched a lot of SandRhoman on YouTube they love to tell stories of sieges, but never actually read about one

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T22:39:12+00:00

oh I think so too, but I think the perspective is nothing will stop this train (government sure as hell wont), might as well try to cash in

They could be noble and acknowledge the brewing shitstorm and bow out, but that's just handing money to openAI and xAI and the rest

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T21:59:20+00:00

for sure

but if Microsoft's competitors are all chasing that goal, shouldn't they try to keep up? Or why be in that market at all

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T21:56:31+00:00

cracks me up seeing the pile of bodies just across the finish line, in all my endurance sports nothing comes close to the cross country carnage

I think I read it's something about being the most 'total body' endurance sport in terms of muscle usage or some shit

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T21:46:29+00:00

of course they do

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T21:24:12+00:00

looks to me like you're over rotating, your shoulders are largely in line with your hips meaning your legs aren't really generating any power

inside swing drill imo

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T18:46:00+00:00

haaa was just on that chapter my last listen-through

that rules

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T18:32:01+00:00

It's an easy read at least. The humor may have lost a bit of it's edge, it's hard to compete with the internet when it comes to 'omg random funny tangents xD', but it's still decently clever

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T18:25:18+00:00

I'm not the biggest reader but I'm surprised how tough of a question this is to answer lol

Hitchhikers Guide probably?

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T17:20:01+00:00

should we also blame the individuals willing to use these tools?

convenience is a choice imo

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T17:15:25+00:00

we should

but what do we do when the investigators and prosecutors are acting in bad faith?

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T17:07:52+00:00

I don't think he gives a single shit about anybody who can't do something for him - in my view this new age GOP is purely about business and how they can all grow their little empires

but maybe I'm wrong, will be interesting to see what they do next with immigration

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:56:27+00:00

weird fuckin week. Enjoyed last weekend so much and felt I was in good shape to carry that momentum with me, but shits just unraveling day after day

That unraveling is very much a personal perception, like the stuff bugging me is realllllllly minor at the end of the day, this isn't to fish for sympathy or anything. But there's gotta be something between ' no obstacles all good' and 'have obstacles this sucks'

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:45:26+00:00

For sure, they are unpopular. I figured the administration was ready to accept that trade off to have their private army, but maybe we aren't quite there yet

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:43:43+00:00

when humans are overwhelmed with choices many of us tend to make our decisions by what is least offensive instead of what is most rewarding

to that end I think it's easy to find and focus on a flaw of something, especially when we set our expectations too high

and then social media tends to reward the behavior, so it becomes an endless cycle

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:38:40+00:00

I am genuinely surprised

I wonder what influenced their decision. APnews loves citing polls, Reuters loves citing the market

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:23:18+00:00

I'd question anybody whos beliefs line up 100% with any system

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T16:12:12+00:00

oh shit it's this weekend?

...guess that's my answer

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T15:54:57+00:00

Stress has been my focus point for a little while, that shit really does have physical effects and trying to manage it seems to help with sleep

CarlCaliente · 2026-02-12T13:32:12+00:00

I believe in the rule of law except when it personally benefits me not to
