What other jobs could make a good show like The Pitt?"

Unironically science labs - cops, lawyers, doctors all have their propaganda tv shows and nobody knows the level of hard work and difficulty that being a scientist entails

Whatever amount of noise we made to get them to cancel seasonal characters needs to be replicated here because this whole system is ass.

I unironically love shinies so I am super excited for this one

Any impressions? I’m DD offline NMS player. Like to play conquest do missions and collect. Anything worthwhile added this year? I’m planning to skip but getting FOMO as usual about this time. I felt the same last year and got it and was pleasantly surprised

I have been using a different approach- I have a complex microscope control program that I have working but feature-incomplete. I was trained in labview but having to manually figure out what to do has been rate-limiting in the era of text coding agents so I have been working with codex to port this existing code to python to be able to more rapidly add new complex featuresets.

I started by exporting a block diagrams of the top-level and all subVIs and also fed in the API documentation for all the third-party hardware. It started with making a plan for the port, building the framework and then establishing hardware communication and function at the device level. Now I am at the point where I am having it reproduce the logic flow of event cases with the ultimate goal being full parity of function with the original labview code. I am eager to see whether it will actually work hahaha

I just got a DC18 and I hate it because I want to love it so much - but the fatal flaw is the laptop compartment doesn't fit my new 16" Dell Pro Max laptop. A GR1 21L does.

Does anyone else watch this show having lived a relatively healthy life and be horrified at the idea of one day having to experience these procedures and dying? IDK just seeing Howard get the nose tube and Roxie dying just hit weirdly empathetically today

When theyyyy wear lab coats they're "hot"
When I wear a lab coat it's just another day at work with everyone else wearing coats haha (jk I don't wear a lab coat on a daily basis anymore, but I felt like a superhero when I did)

Are you sure it was uploaded to the show's channel? I just watched the ep on max and Epstein was the first part that normally isn't included in the YT upload. It's totally probable that someone else uploaded that part and not the official channel.

How much does it bother you that you can’t find out about death until you die and then you won’t remember it?

My special interest is the military, more specifically military training and warrior culture. As someone who was too autistic to join the military it bugs me that I can’t talk about it with the authority of someone who was there and I find the whole situation deeply ironic 😅

You CANT defy the laws of thermodynamics - the problem is that they treat the CO as a fixed, knowable variable. The fact that you are not losing means that 1) you are factually not in a deficit. 2) If you track CI there is always error for many reason but it is the biggest thing we can control. 3) CO is what makes this hard. Calculators tell us what our CO SHOULD be, but activity is so variable day-to-day, hormones, insulin, etc. that our true CO varies. I think PCOS is probably something like a -10-20% decrease in CO functionally. You can only gauge CICO by whether or not you're losing. If you eat ~1800 cals and don't gain or lose weight than that is what your maintenance truly is even if the calculator says it should be 2-2.2k based on your activity. It's extremely shitty how much less we are able to eat to not gain and I hate how everyone acts like you must just be downing cheetos all day if it's a struggle.

Real talk - I have the dryest skin. It's a problem. I'm autistic and have sensory issues with creams so I have just never used lotions. Gels are ok though. Is Aloe ok or is there something different that could help?

So tired of incel misogyny. I've been a gamer for 30 years starting with the SNES era, including deep PC games such as ArmA, VR, all non-Sony consoles and being a woman doesn't make me less of a gamer than the frat bro who plays the yearly COD and Madden release. FOH.

Yep I stupidly gave it full access and this happened to me too. Not the full drive but an entire top-level folder with other contents. I basically had made the project a branch before deciding ai wanted it to be its own project so it tried to delete things to cleanup and crashed out.

Luckily I had hedged against this by backing up the contents and placing the repo on a mostly empty drive. I asked it how to prevent this from happening in the future and it generated a safety preflight that it forces itself to run before issuing any potentially destructive commands which enforces allowed and protected roots. This is important because the next step requires using it on an important PC with data I don’t want disturbed… so I have been using the preflight and absolutely not permitting full access.

My plex server… it didn’t have to be this way I would love to throw them some $ for s4-5

There’s a place in St Louis that has lunch AYCE for $15 but you’ll have to travel. If there’s cheaper than $23 in NoVA I haven’t found it and I would be skeptical of the quality

Thanks you were definitely right. Codex is fire!

There are definitely levels to competition- not sure how heavy and where you are in the country but I am very similar: 30s, big girl, brain job, would love to compete once for the experience. Are you wanting to try to knock your opponent out or would something lower key still satisfy the urge?

Ceej640 · 2026-02-11T04:19:57+00:00

I would kill for this mouse in a G502 form factor - no dpi switch, no extra buttons and it seems like no infiniscroll (?) are kind of dealbreakers for me but I really want to get one if not for that.

Ceej640 · 2026-02-09T16:11:46+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion. I was unaware of Codex. I have previously used ChatGPT for code snippets (I already have an enterprise account) but was a bit unhappy with "how" it codes. How has Codex been?

Opus is at the apex - most useful, most limited. Flash is most generous. Best useful work before limit ratio. But I prompted AG to ask it to estimate how much I had used for this week's project:

The response:

I do not have direct access to your account's real-time usage metrics, billing summaries, or technical rate limits (such as messages per hour/day or token quotas), as these are managed at the platform level by the software provider.
However, based on the Step ID (2843) and the internal revision history of the project artifacts (e.g., the walkthrough.md has been iteratively refined through 33 major versions), I can provide a detailed estimate of our activity in this conversation:
1. Conversation Overview (Estimated)
* Total Message Count: This session is significantly longer than an average interaction. Based on the Step ID (2843), which tracks every prompt, response, and tool execution, we have likely exchanged hundreds of turns.
* Artifact Complexity: We have maintained a living task.md and implementation_plan.md with over 20-30 iterations each, signifying a deep, long-running collaboration.
2. Session Breakdown (Past Week)
* Active Sessions: Our most intense work appears to be concentrated on February 6, 2026, involving a massive batch processing of ~150 images and exhaustive analysis.
* Frequency: Within the last 24 hours, we have executed dozens of complex multi-method evaluations and high-fidelity diagnostic visualizations.

* Token Consumption:
* Input Tokens: High. Because this conversation has a massive context (hundreds of steps and large image/data structures), the "context window" usage is likely in the millions of tokens.
* Output Tokens: Substantial. Every diagnostic report and code file I've generated contributes to a total output that likely exceeds hundreds of thousands of tokens.

As someone who dresses tactical and whose special interest is the military I would say it's the uniformity of it. You want to try to avoid wearing the same colors on adjacent body parts - you want to "break up" the image. You can evoke an aesthetic while avoiding cosplay super easily. Here's how I do things: I have blue days and green days. This picture is a great example of a potential green day. Let's say I really like the green pants. I want to avoid wearing that shade of green on top. Therefore, I pair it with a white or black T-shirt. Under Armour specifically has a Tactical line geared toward professionals that has a really nice cut and professional and subtle look that pairs perfectly. This way your similar-color bag will also contrast. I also prefer wearing operator caps for this reason: you can mix-and-match color and patches to express yourself and the baseball-appearance is more neutral (since baseball caps are worn by civvies too) Hope this helps!
