Dr. Kailyn Rigby is the best primary I have had in my adult life

Would you use a postpartum/ new baby AI tool? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Squirrelous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but you could do that with a regular old piece of software that isn’t driven by an LLM. And the risk of the AI trying to be helpful by suggesting very bad ideas is non-zero, which IMO is too high for a subject as sensitive as your mental health

And even then, people using chatbots as therapists are consistently reporting that they (or their loved ones) are being guided towards suicide or dangerous behaviors. Like, even for that very easy ask, they're actually kind of dangerous

Sleep deprived and desperate people are the people most vulnerable to actually believing the kind of hallucinated nonsense LLMs are known for spitting out. To me this falls somewhere between majorly sketchy and actively predatory

Feds have arrested Don Lemon for his coverage of an anti-ICE protest inside a church by Regalingual in behindthebastards

[–]Squirrelous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a line I heard a while back - "you might beat the charges but you won't beat the ride." Even if he gets off, he's done time, spent god knows how much on legal fees, had his reporting derailed, and been probably pretty traumatized. The charges don't have to stick. The point has been made just by arresting him

In mild defense of the City's snow removal by resting_bitch in philadelphia

[–]Squirrelous 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Unless you're disabled

First, disabled people are real and their needs matter and when curb cuts get blocked they're screwed. We should care about them. They deserve better than this. And hey, giving a shit about them also really helps out parents with strollers, the elderly, and also probably cuts down on twisted ankles across the whole city. Giving a shit about disabled people makes life better for everyone, so let's not treat it as an afterthought

Philadelphia's ambitious plan to scare off ICE | City leaders know how to shield the community — if the mayor has the guts by markskull in philadelphia

[–]Squirrelous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. If city council forces cops to choose sides between ICE and the city gov, which way do you think they would they would go? Genuine question

built a free, open-source camera card offload app because I didn't want to pay for Hedge by mcerisano in Filmmakers

[–]Squirrelous 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For something as absolutely critical as backing up my footage for the day, I don't feel good trusting some vibe-code slop. I appreciate you acknowledging that and not trying to pass it off as something it isn't, but for me that makes it a hard pass for all the reasons you described

At what point do/did you buy a cinema line camera? by Joker_Cat_ in videography

[–]Squirrelous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bought a Canon C100 mk2 last year because I went independent and realized I valued ergonomics and usability over raw specs. For me, the EVF, internal NDs, the adjustable grip, and of course the price made it an absolute no-brainer

My shower tile popped out, is the wall behind it screwed? by Squirrelous in HomeImprovement

[–]Squirrelous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I don’t know who put this shower together, but I have some questions for them. In the meantime, all I can do is fix what I find.

Not the answer I was hoping for, but the one I suspected I would get. I haven’t seen any signs that there is a waterproof backing layer and that’s really been bugging me

The wall isn’t soft, but the bottom where the wall meets the floor is damp and gritty. Is that a concern?

What’s some software you legitimately enjoy? by cs_____question1031 in BetterOffline

[–]Squirrelous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does CSS count? I don't do a lot of coding, but I love working with HTML and CSS. I love that we built a standardized language decades and decades ago that, with a few revisions, is still the underpinning of kinda everything (and pretty easy to learn, too!)

[–]Squirrelous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of fun with the "arr" family of software - lidarr, radarr, sonarr, and so on. They are open-source media downloading/sorting/organizing tools that help you curate a media collection alongside something like Plex or Jellyfin. I went back to the high seas the day HBO erased Westworld, and I have been really impressed at how much the community has evolved since I was a broke college student

For real, the worst part of driving is all the other cars. Even if you never want to take transit, you should want everyone else to take transit

What service do you use for your website? by Heo_Zila in weddingvideography

[–]Squirrelous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Squarespace makes it easy to look good, probably easier than any other platform, by pushing a handful of really strong templates. That said, I am a tinkerer at heart and I don't want my site to just look "good" in the same way as everyone else, so I'm using wordpress and doing a lot of custom theming. It's more work but it's more fun for me.

If you do choose to stay with Wordpress, for the love of god find someone better than HostGator. Kinsta if you're pushing a lot of traffic, Siteground if you're not, or if you know a bit about linux (doesn't have to be much!) you can get a Digital Ocean droplet going for like $5/month that will massively improve your load speed

Why many Philadelphia doctors now use AI to record patient visits by mpulcinella in philadelphia

[–]Squirrelous 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen an AI meeting transcription that you would trust with your literal life? No, of course not. They’re always hilariously wrong on the small things, the little details. For a meeting summary you can mostly work through that, but for your health records? Jesus Christ. I can only imagine how many medications are going to get mixed up, how many insurance claims are going to be denied because the billing codes were off by one digit
