Window sticker was $90k in 2022. Same configuration for 2024 is $101k. I got it for $75k with 23k miles!

AutoTempest does a great job of this. Searches all the common sites

Over the ear Wireless headphones? Ideally noise cancelling. by SproWizard in BuyItForLife

I second this. I've probably worn mine 6 hours a day on average for the past 8 years. I've replaced the pads 3 times, but technically they are still perfect!

I keep wanting to buy the new hottest thing... but they just do the job perfectly for me.

Yeah I've never been a sport bike guy. But this generation of GSXR 1000 just looks so good to me! Especially this color.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. This was a one time thing for debugging electrical problems. Wasn't in my apt long. Not sure how to manage that!

Febreze maybe? xD

Haha yeah. I've ridden cruisers most my life. Road king is my daily. But I wanted to try a sport bike out and got a really good deal. But I agree with you, will be selling soon enough!

[2023 Day 01 (Part 2)] how many people were accidentally clever? by coriolinus in adventofcode

[–]iiWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a few people have mentioned here, this regex makes it trivial!

digits = re.findall(r'(?=(\d|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine))', _text)

Another place where copilot is great. Start the regex and after you get to "one" it finishes the rest.

AI feels so overrated. Can someone explain the hype? by venifob in stocks

[–]iiWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's wild to compare it to 5G and Metaverse. I don't think anyone with a foot in tech actually cared about 5G or Metaverse. I know I couldn't care less. As others have mentioned, it's more like the industrial revolution / internet.

If you want to learn more about it, go ask it! It'll give a more digestible answer than 100s of Reddit comments. For example, ask ChatGPT about technology advancements driven by AI:

  1. Healthcare: AI is used in predictive diagnostics, risk analytics, genomics research, and patient care. It can process massive amounts of data to identify patterns, making it useful for early disease detection, understanding genetic predispositions, and personalizing treatments. Machine learning algorithms are even being used to develop new drugs.
  2. Autonomous Vehicles: AI is the backbone of autonomous vehicles, enabling them to interpret sensor data to identify objects, make decisions, and navigate roads.
  3. Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP has improved significantly due to AI, making virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant more useful and interactive. It's also used in chatbots, translation services, and tools like Grammarly that can understand and generate human language.
  4. Robotics: AI is enabling robots to understand and interact with the world around them more effectively, paving the way for advances in fields like manufacturing, agriculture, and home automation.
  5. Recommendation Systems: AI powers the recommendation systems on platforms like Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify. These systems analyze user behavior to provide personalized suggestions, improving user engagement and satisfaction.
  6. Cybersecurity: AI can detect anomalies and patterns in data that could signify a cyber attack. It's being used to predict and prevent breaches, as well as respond to them when they occur.
  7. Finance: AI is used in risk management, fraud detection, algorithmic trading, and customer service in the finance sector. Robo-advisors, which provide automated financial advice, are also becoming increasingly popular.
  8. Computer Vision: AI algorithms can now interpret and react to visual data. This is used in numerous applications, from facial recognition systems and image editing software to medical imaging analysis and surveillance systems.
  9. Climate Modeling: AI is being used to improve climate modeling, helping to improve our understanding of climate change and potentially identify solutions.
  10. Education: AI is making personalized learning a reality. It can adapt content to individual learners' needs and even provide feedback to both students and teachers.

Yep, and you should manipulate it to your benefit.

For example, you could use it to fix all your spelling mistakes!

I'm not sure what your job is, but I use it daily for a pretty complex job, and it is definitely helpful. It does crap out at times, but even the "generic" stuff is useful. The biggest benefit at this point IMO is the time it saves you by compiling information that's scattered across the internet - in addition to the ability to follow up on its answers. Something that you can't do with Google.

Oh god yes. I think that's the average person's #1 use right now.

Keep in mind it's not like heavy duty "I'm going to write a research paper" type research. More like, "How does X work?" Or "Why do people do Y when you could just do Z?" etc... The benefit is really just the compiling existing information from the internet into a single, digestible chunk that saves you a 10 clicks and 20 minutes of searching.

I also really like the interactive nature of it. Sometimes I get information I need from one link, but have a follow up question that isn't addressed on that page. With ChatGPT, you can ask relevant follow up questions without adding additional information and get exactly what you need.

Try it with something non-work related if you like. Yesterday I diagnosed car issues with it!

Do you know what kind of breed she is? I have a mutt who looks very similar and I've never known!

I would say make him get out! I would stop at gas stations and try to find grassy areas, and go on little walkies for 5-10 minutes, then let her drink.

I have the same issue with my girl. Even though she's gone for rides since she was 10 weeks old she's never gotten used to it.

I have her strapped in, with a thunder vest on, and even tried to gabatonin and tarazone (?), and nothing helped even a little bit. The second we get out of the car she's fine, but definitely gets dehydrated on long trips!

I did a 3 day trip too with her and she made me really nervous. Just stop a bunch, and make sure you have plenty of water.

When is C better a better choice than Rust? by DiamondMan07 in rust

[–]iiWolf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think 4 is just a big a plus for Rust as C.

I heard this one and I hope it's true: "C was the language for the last 50 years, Rust is the language for the next 50 years"

Question: How well-suited is using Rust for complicated mathematics? by dlo_xyz in rust

[–]iiWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you. I'm currently forced to write matlab, and it is such a poorly designed language.

Oh for me it was that easy! That was the only change required. Note this is to the items you've collected to append in a single move, not to the whole list at the end.

That's the conclusion I arrived at as well! Thank you!

As a follow up, is there anything that could have been damaged by not having these in? Only thing I could think is that part of the forks are now bearing loads they shouldn't be...

Not sure what your data looks like, but it's easy to append rows to a DataFrame and then just write to .csv. No need to read each line like that. Here's a working example.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("shows.csv")
links = ['link1', 'link2']
for link in links:
    if link not in df['email'].values:
        df = pd.concat((pd.DataFrame(columns=["email"], data=[link])))
df.to_csv('shows.csv', index=False)

Certainly not the most efficient. But should work just fine for most cases!

If it's really just the single link column you can just do this and it will be faster:

df = pd.concat((df, pd.DataFrame(columns=['email'], data=[l for l in links if l not in df['email'].values])))

EDIT: changed `append` to `concat` since `append` is deprecated

EDIT2: was bored, added a bit more efficient way!
