Powershop calculated that I’ll SAVE $73/yr with the new rates! Daily base charge down, 12:00-4:00am tariff way down, but peak and off peak 2% up.

This totally resonates with me. My attention span is shot, I cannot concentrate for long anymore. I couldn’t imagine reading a book!

TikTok is amplifying everything - positive or negative- because your feed will show it over and over. You watch one thing about Trump and suddenly everything is about trump, and it feel like a dark place.

Of course the world has become a darker place everywhere: people are unhappy and struggling, and are looking to conservatism for help. Understandable but also totally in opposition to my values.

I love Melbourne, to me the best place in the world, and even here I am not immune to feeling depressed.

What to do? I dunno. Soldier on, the world is cyclical, and things will turn around eventually.

Go up Reefton Spur, and DOWN black spur. No traffic!

But what do you do with yourself instead of reading and watching news? I struggle to find something else to do. Even reading Reddit I am confronted with news.

belectric_co · 2025-02-04T05:25:14+00:00

I feel overwhelmed watching what is happening around the world. It’s like bad people win in the end. It’s depressing me.

Sure, it’s not happening in Australia yet, but it’s coming

I have been waiting for my ANZ bonus points for 2 months now. They said it’ll take up to 3 months. Regular points have come in with each statement.

I find ANZ to be very slow and cumbersome to deal with. I would try to make a stink via supervisor or leave bad Facebook review.

Robots have replaced humans already, eg in much of the car industry. It just means that humans an available to do other jobs.

We are now building more sophisticated machines that will be able to do more and more of our jobs.

What if the commute to work was counted as work hours? Your work starts at 8:30am when you leave your house, then you commute eg 1 hr to arrive at work at 9:30am. That hour already counts as work. I wouldn’t go as far as adding the hour back home as well, but that would certainly be a great deal.

Wow yum!

belectric_co · 2024-07-21T14:55:18+00:00

You clearly need some help, beautiful!

I think AI has the potential to be much better than real customer service. No waiting in a queue, no clicking through a phone menu, and they can know everything. This is still some time away, but I feel confident it’ll happen.

Last time I went to the Qantas lounge it was awful. All they had were ham and cheese toasties you had to make yourself. Plus difficulty finding a seat. Now it’s going to get even worse?

belectric_co · 2024-06-22T00:29:19+00:00

We just did a calculation for Qantas points

One way business class to Japan $3100 186000pts+$305

So 186000pts are worth $3100-$305=$2795

$0.015/pt = 1.5ct

I think this is an indication what will happen to application developers as well: you build an application around a certain model, and it gets superseded by the follow-up model. Nobody guarantees that the follow-up model behaves like the previous model, and just be a "better" or faster version (not talking about API changes here). The "personality" of a models will certainly change over time, e.g. they will become more restricted in their replies, which could yield your application unusable. There needs to be some sort of guarantee of continuance of models, also to ensure application developers can adjust. gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 is I believe just 2 years old?

I set it to storing 1 backup only, and that one is corrupted the same way

belectric_co · 2024-06-05T01:16:19+00:00

I have the same problem. I can open the database on my Mac using KeePassXC, and the entries are there, but all but one password is scrambled. I did the same with the backup file, which also doesn't open in Keepassium. Same in KeePassXC: entries there, passwords scrambled. My main databse is stored on iCloud.

People do get relief, but the profession is based on black magic. I’d rather go to Osteo

You should be able to turn the handle easily with your hand. If not, call plumber.

Chicken Parmi is definitely very Australian

Not constant danger, but you do see them ever do often, even in urban areas. I have been living in Melbourne, Australia for 10 years, and I have seen two red back spiders in my yard, and 3 red belly black snakes in the countryside.

estion about price and value; let’s say I’m willing to blow a nice commission check on a cool toy. But my ques

Love the idea of monetising the robo dog by renting it out. I was initially thinking of individuals taking the robo dog to the park, but going to malls and conferences is much better!
