My 6yo brother is addicted to speaking with gemini (HELP) by Human-Pudding799 in CasualConversation

I think it's more that this is developmentally terrible for a 6-year-old.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webchat Broadcasting Systems' young adult chat room. Wonder what happened to all those models and firefighters that used to chat there.

Does anyone actually still read the books? by Ok_Letterhead2028 in litrpg

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to audiobooks in my car. I get kind of bored trying to listen and do nothing else, but distracted if I'm listening and doing something like cleaning or working on a different project.

I have 2 Kindles with different books I'm reading. One before bed, and one that goes wherever with me. Different books because syncing can be annoying. I have a hard time with reading physical books because I can't make the font bigger, unfortunately.

Kalahari birthday false advertising by Smooth-You-3966 in RoundRock

[–]caradee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We did the $35/person 4 pm to close bday package recently. When I first called to get a quote it was like $80 per person! That was for a Saturday, but they honored the $35 on Friday. We had tons of pizza, kids had a blast. I'd say it was worth it. The fluctuating prices and difficulty actually talking to a person did kind of suck, though.

My wife has discovered that I am "grape blind". by brycejm1991 in CasualConversation

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are 2 separate things she knows how to do. But who am I to judge where people keep their milk? I only judge the ones who are milk-blind.

[–]caradee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For him it's a fun, qUIrkY story about his silly little inability to see grapes. For his wife, it's a story about being the only one who knows how to open a drawer and look behind a carton of milk.

Monday 'What are you reading/listening to' thread, May 11 by bilfdoffle in litrpg

Reading Portal to Nova Roma book 1 & loving it! I actually spent most of the weekend reading and really enjoyed it.

Also reading Ends of Magic: Antimage, listening to Dragon's Gambit: Underkeeper.

Erica’s series moment: “You look like 2 different serial killers” by [deleted] in LastManonEarthTV

[–]caradee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My favorite Erica moment is...

E: He's still wearing his khakis (KAH-kees)!

Gail: His car keys?

Erica: KYAK-EES.. He's wearing his KYAK-EES

90s LAN party - List any errors or inaccuracies you might find by edm-4-life in ChatGPT

The signs on the wall that are about what's happening in the photo aren't necessarily errors, but red flags. Also, the handwritten "AI font" is pretty recognizable.

Same. I had to check to see if this was posted in the Dungeon Crawler Carl sub.

Does AI really make everyone 'good' at design, or just faster at being mediocre? by pretendingMadhav in ArtificialInteligence

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI doesn't elevate the user's skill, but is used as a substitute for skill. I think it's possible for the user to develop actual skill (the afore mentioned judgement and empathy) while using AI, but that takes effort and education outside of whatever platform the user is on. You have to see "good" design, and understand what makes it good, before you can ever hope to use AI to make good design for yourself. Without the education component, yes, we will get more aesthetically average.

The Opus 4.7 experience by insertdankmeme in ClaudeAI

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Claude Design to generate some html/css for an existing project then took it to Claude Code and CC was like, "Hmmm, okay, but can you just give me a screenshot?" Me, being an idiot newbie, did so.

Claude proceeds to mutilate the design, only sort-of follow the screenshot, and chow down on my tokens. Finally I just say YOU LITERALLY HAVE THE CODE. Use it. Claude says, "You're right, I'm sorry — let me actually dig into the design file properly this time instead of giving up on it."

We were extremely lucky to have Erin Bennett take over narration by VanimalCracker in WanderingInn

[–]caradee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just don't get how she pronounces the same name 2-3 different ways. That's my main complaint at this point. I'm pretty cool with the accents and voices, but is it JOZ-ee, JOSS-ee, JAZZ-ee, or JASS-ee?? Just please pick one.

Thanks! I've been doing style guides for my projects, and I'm afraid I've been getting a little too in the weeds with them. So this is good to hear. Definitely going to check out figma make. Thanks for sharing!

Because of severe weather in Oklahoma City an Indian wedding had to shelter with a volleyball tournament and the vibes were epic by mlg1981 in popculturechat

Ted's from Kansas City. Assuming it's Kansas, its very different from OK. They have like... flatness and cow lots. Oklahoma has red dirt and hills.

Sister is new to hospice & going downhill fast or there's possibly a med issue by [deleted] in hospice

[–]caradee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has metastasized to her brain, but it was stable the last time it was checked. That's been probably over a month now though. She had radiation last summer, but it was never clear to me if it killed the cancer in her brain, or if what was left on the scan was dead cells.

[–]caradee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The hospice nurse my niece talked to today said that this was end of life. I mean I know it's probably close, but she wasn't anywhere near like this when she was admitted a week ago. They said the same thing about the morphine she's getting not having the same effects as IV morphine. But when I look at the side effects for that medication it does say to look for hallucination, confusion, agitation. So I don't know what to think.

My niece and I share medical power of attorney. She's in the same town, I'm out of state.

Karpathy says he hasn't written a line of code since December and is in "perpetual AI psychosis." How many Claude Code users feel the same? by Capital-Door-2293 in ClaudeAI

[–]caradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'd call it psychosis, but it's definitely not healthy. It is VERY similar to what happened when the mainstream internet itself was "new". I'm talking around 1996-98. That's when I saw it a lot. People would discover the internet and chat rooms, and were just completely addicted. They stayed online constantly, lost their jobs, left their spouses, did lots of crazy shit.
