The “This one neat trick big water won’t tell you about” to “the government can’t tell me not to dig my well next to my latrine” pipeline (aquaduct?) is real.

What a time to be alive.

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of the bridges I’m burning.

Actually, we had one. Only people with enough time and energy to use it was management. Pool table to, which got slightly more play on account of it being slower paced.

There is no amount of money my last job could have paid me to stay once I made up my mind to leave. If it is about money it means you have been drastically underpaying them.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Tea would be a herb.

Yeah, this is much the same kind of use. If you work on the assumption that it is just something that has read everything, and everything that has been written about everything you can find it’s utility. Folk want it to be some kind of fact genie, but the only facts it knows are what words go together, and it literally doesn’t know the difference between real and made up.

Isn’t the entire purpose of copilot that it shouldn’t need much in the way of training? I think the extent of it at my employer is “this is the one you use.”

I’ve tried it a few times, the only thing it seems remotely good for is when your recollection of a source is too fuzzy to form a traditional search query around. “What’s that book series I read in the early 2000s about kids who traveled to another world and the things they brought back from it just looked like junk.” Kind of questions.

Hey, you know that thing you use? What if it had a button on it that opened an AI prompt?

Well my mum says it’s a really smart idea from her special little innovator.

Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.

Investors going to bubble though.

Yeah, you are right.

I think it’s the Ge’ez script used in Ethiopian.

If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.

I heard more than a few US states decided to expend a law on requiring it because taught, your grandson might be a victim of such a policy.

Man, this must be what it feels like to be a teacher, all the time. It’s cool though, much better than I can manage.

Irreverence.

Or sometimes it’s yogh.

Vacuum is another good one, or anniversary.
