Yeah, formatting is the only place that I really enjoy using AI. It’s great at pumping out blocks of stuff and frequently gets the general idea of what I’m going for with successive variables or tasks. But when you ask it to do complex things it wigs out. Like yesterday when it spit out a regex to look for something within multiple encapsulation chars just fine, but telling it to remove one of the chars it was looking for was impossible, apparently. Spent 5 min doing something I figured out in 2 minutes on a regex test site.

My favorite is when it just keeps giving you the exact same answer you keep telling it is wrong

It is a bearer asset

Meaning your money can be stolen and it’s gone forever unless you convince them to return it

that nobody can take away from you without force

Unless your wallet’s password is cracked, then you’re fucked and have no recourse. There have been so many issues with wallets generated with a bad algorithm that allows people to break your phrase easily and leave you without anything. And that’s not even getting into hot wallet issues where you get rug pulled and they steal all your money or you decide to give your money to someone like SBF and the whole exchange does down.

There are so many examples that disprove this statement that it’s honestly hilarious.

and no government can inflate away and leave you poor.

No, instead you can get left poor by some scam you fell for and have even less recourse to get your money back than if it was the government.

You may not see it as money, where I do, since I can buy the things I need to survive with it.

Can you go to a random store and buy food or goods? Can you send it to your landlord for rent? No, only a small sunset of orgs take it, because everyone else understands that shit like transaction delays and inconsistent gas fees means it’s impossible to effectively run a business on monopoly money that doesn’t have a set worth.

You can consider it to have monetary value, and I do insofar as you’re playing with an unregulated security that should be taxed, but it’s not money in that you can buy an arbitrary good for sale. You’re playing with monopoly bills that someone will agree to pretend is real money, but most businesses will laugh you out of the building and tell you to come back with real money. Because crypto is just a financial asset that people give monetary worth, but it isn’t money.

And how often do you end up paying more on real money due to the delay in transactions or awful gas fees for your transaction?

Crypto being a common currency is about as likely as Gary Johnson winning the presidential election. The average person is going to take up crypto as much as they use Tor. Both have their uses, but neither one will ever be mainstream.

And Twitter is absolutely the future of social media!

See, we can all post statements that are clearly detached from reality and entirely incorrect.

It’s illegal to put my phone on the passenger seat??? Please, show me what law is be violated, because that sounds utterly ridiculous.

But the point I’m making is that you can’t make an assumption on who is driving based on where the phone physically is. I could be a passenger or my phone could be on the passenger seat or just sitting in the center console while I drive. I could be a passenger and my driving friend is using my phone for GPS on the dash.

There are way too many confounding variables to begin making guesses on driver based on phone sensor readings.

So if I throw my phone on the passenger seat whenever I’m not using my GPS, I must never be driving!

Oh good, then I’m safe. My phone doesn’t connect to my car’s Bluetooth unless is configure it every drive.

Do you toast your buns or eat them raw? I’ve not noticed the issue nearly as much when I pan toast my buns.

having dinner with a fizzy drink is just wrong.

Its not mandatory, but I’ll have you know this is incorrect.

Some people crave or have to have some kind of flavor with their liquids or they don’t want it. I have known multiple people who thought water tasted gross, which is somewhat legit because I had to get used to the different water taste when I went to school on the opposite side of town, but they just thought any kind of water was gross. They’d always have a soda or coffee or something.

My issue isn’t flavor necessarily, its carbonation. But plain/unsweetened soda water is gross and soda streams aren’t worth it to make my own infused water.

You’d be surprised what they’ll accept as evidence once they find out its coming from “one of the good ones”.

“Here are my emergency ‘I broke production’ rates, the bill will be in the mail.”

It’s called the asshole tax, and it’s what happens when you believe a child over the person you’re paying to fix your/their mistake (again).

Having run my own computer repair side business for a while, I would have (and have) absolutely done the same thing in the situation. I also had repeat fliers that realized their mistakes and didn’t try to blame me for their failure, and the nicer ones even got a discount. But the asshole tax is there to make dealing with problem customers more worth it, and potentially to encourage them to find someone else to torment and give money to.

It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.

Fuck that, training and any kind of policy testing should absolutely be on company time. I always throw shit like that in a general/admin bucket in my time card.

You make me do it, you pay me to do it.

That version number is pretty meaningless though. If you look at version numbers, vista, 7 and 8 were all 6.x. I’m pretty sure they do numbering based on some underlying architecture feature, and when it changes enough they change the major version number.

Nah, browsers are so much worse, but that’s because most users blindly accept notifications from any sketch website then call and cry to IT because they “got a virus”.

I don’t miss my days supporting end users…

There’s a reason I have my windows configured for do not disturb/focus mode, I can’t say I’ve seen a notification come through that was actually relevant for me. The vast majority of what I’ve seen come through notifications are app spam, and I ain’t got time for that

Microsoft when you don’t pay out the ass for support:
