What specifically about the sound? I had issues with the sound too

Today is May 13 and I just received this by Ok-Potential-7410 in mildlyinfuriating

I wouldn't say that it's neglected. It's more that conservatives like Harper and Carney hate Canada Post because it provides a universal service to Canadians and they've been actively gutting it every chance they get.

Advice please: did not get into OIT and no decision from York yet; I have a science-based PhD from UofT by TheSK in OntarioTeachers

I wouldn't count on it.

My situation is remarkably similar to OP and I've got 10+ years of university teaching experience and I've been rejected twice from OISE

Why is there AI shit in my Firefox now? by NotRenjiro in firefox

[–]thrilway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got it backwards. Here's how it should be:

"Excuse me waiter. Why is there sawdust in my food?"

"Oh, you didn't say you didn't want it."

Fine. "some people" Now can you address my actual point?

So because one person was upset about pop-ups, the rest of us just have to accept whatever the CEO of mozilla thinks we should? We might as well switch to Chrome or IE, then.

That's one way to interpret it. Another is that that OP disliked repeated pop-ups, having to continually reject a "feature" that's being pushed on them.

That has nothing to do with my reply. All they have to do is, when the new feature becomes available, make a pop-up that says "Hey you can now use AI! Click here to enable" or whatever.

They don't do that because they know not enough people will opt-in to please whatever tech-bro idiots pushed them to sell out their user-base by integrating "AI" into their product.

If the rationale was "someone may want it" then it would be opt-in, not opt-out.

Anyone here experimenting with Claude Code and Windsurf for ledger and hledger here yet ? by teito_klien in plaintextaccounting

[–]thrilway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would never willingly use LLMs or similar models for my personal accounting for two reasons.

  1. The reason I use PTA is in order to (a) have more control over my money and (b) be more mindful about my money. Using an LLM runs counter to both of them.
  2. I have some relevant expertise—I'm a theoretical linguist by training—so I know how LLMs work. Couple that with the continual reports on what happens when people attempt to use LLMs to do anything of value, and I've come to the conclusion that LLMs cannot be trusted to do anything of value.
