Things that don’t follow the way I understand physics and technology to work. I enjoy sci-fi stuff a bit but when it doesn’t ’work’ I have trouble suspending disbelief and enjoying. Time travel is an easy example, I find most media with time travel to be exceptionally frustrating and taxing. Bending space, worm holes, silent floating and fast aircraft’s. An antidote just immediately saving the world without any production at scale or logistic considerations, not to mention geo politics, just magical gets into everyone’s systems so the world is saved. It can make brainstorming really difficult for me. I’m not sure if those examples help or not, it’s what immediately came to mind, I’m sure there’s better.

Edit: I want to clarify, I don’t think it’s a positive thing, I find my mind to be frustrating

I think I might have an imagination fault in addition to ‘can’t see things in my mind’ (which I thought was completely made up that people could just picture things in their head, it still freaks me out even though I’ve accepted it) fault. I can imagine things of course but only in like a practical reality sense. Like my mind doesn’t have a bridge to ‘maybe’ kinds of theory unless I can make it make sense along the way. That’s not to say I don’t imagine things that make sense in my head that would be complete disasters, because I do, regularly, and peer review has saved me countless times. I don’t know how to explain but the more I hear about how other people’s brains work it makes me think mine is broken and constrained significantly for some reason.

I get as much enjoyment from technical books that I read for career and personal reasons as I do fiction, so I usually read non fiction as it at least has a purpose for me. I wonder how much is related to my not being able to visualize anything.

Casually dropping one of the broadest applicable use cases for an LLM that you didn’t use

You’d have to watch everyone as they take her for a turn

I swear they used to be really good. I’m with you though, I cut bait. I got so tired of optimistic titles narratives and bullshit that were so obviously overblown and dumb. Like excitedly tossing somebody twigs while they’re drowning. I really like the lawyer guy when he’s just talking facts, seems like a smart dude. Just couldn’t take it anymore.

Perry sure they’ve mentally resigned themselves to living life in their mental land of make believe

Thank you for asking, I couldn’t tell either.

I bought one for $4.95 at Sam’s yesterday

I understand and agree with your general point, I don’t believe it’s counter intuitive but accept than many people do. In any case, you used range distance disparities too close together to be accurate with a shift from a 5 to 10 mpg split. I’ll just covert to a unit per distance, as you referenced (gallons per 100 miles):

• 15 mpg = 6.67 gallons per 100 miles
• 20 mpg = 5 gallons per 100 miles
• 30 mpg = 3.33 gallons per 100 miles
• 40 mpg = 2.5 gallons per 100 miles

As calculated upgrading from 15 mpg to 20 mpg would take 1.67 fewer gallons to go 100 miles while upgrading from 20 mpg to 30 mpg would also take 1.67 fewer gallons to go 100 miles. Upgrading from 30 mpg to 40 mpg would only further reduce fuel required to go 100 miles by 0.83 gallons.

Again, I agree with your broader point, 15 to 20 being the same improvement as 20 to 30 is likely just as impactful and also accurate.

Fuck ignorant insecure trash with blood sport dogs

Might as well call me fluffles

I don’t know that I would choose it for my own kitchen but I also wouldn’t feel a need to change them. It almost reminds me of a cigar shop or something. Very warm and welcoming even if a bit dark. I bet they would grow on me pretty quick and I like non cookie cutter stuff generally. More importantly though, I think you did a great job. I get how it goes tho, I’ve remodeled and installed cabinets and counters in a couple kitchens and it can get frustrating and almost impossible to not notice or remember every mistake or area that you feel you would do better or different next time. Looks awesome. I’d love to see a wider shot from farther away but also understand if that’s not easily feasible. Great job and thank you for sharing!

There’s a YouTube guy that made his own and uses it as a teleprompter during his videos. Certainly a niche use case.

Both of my sons sit, I stand. I’m not sure what I did to deserve such considerate children as they just started doing it on their own before my oldest was even ten but bathroom upkeep was improved so much. I try to be conscious and careful and I still always wipe the rim with toilet paper after before I wash my hands unless the toilet is gross af.

I don’t know what they are in comparison size wise but I feel like solar farm is pretty standard terminology but the mixed use threw me a bit at first also.

It’s a lot less stressful when it’s on your own terms

Of course it would be bad, I just learned they’re my little emotional support face buddies

I have what was a bedroom next to my kitchen. Tiled the floor and painted the walls the same as my kitchen, put a stand up freezer, nice white metal shelves along the walls, a coffee bar by the door, storage bench under the window, and snack table in the center of the room. Bulk sealed packages and less often used appliances in the closet. I can store so much food and ingredients, it’s probably my favorite room of the house. I often just sit on the bench and have a small snack for breakfast with my morning coffee in there.

I have to use a windows box when I initiate my Reolink security cameras as an example. Haven’t been about to figure out a way to do the initial setup on them without and I couldn’t get it to run on Linux. Honestly been less of a time consuming pain to just have a windows box with the software. It’s only plugged into the isolated LAN anyway so whatever.
