Claude is my coding mentor. Wouldn’t want to work without it.

One of the men repeatedly made a “call me” gesture with his hand, then took his fedora off and literally tipped it at her…

It’s assholes like this that make dudes in fedoras look bad. This and -you know- the hats themselves.

The best protest is to stop moderating. Lie flat. Let the subreddit go to shit.

Philanthropy is PR for billionaires. If we taxed them, we would have a social safety net and no need for their pet projects.

Well what’s the point of self driving if you can’t have a wank on the drive home?

Not a whole lot.

So, yeah. What’s a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?

Changed it. Thanks.

I’m around the same age as you, and I taught myself front end development. Don’t let anyone say you can’t learn. If you want to make websites, I suggest HTML => CSS => JavaScript => React.js. I recommend learning on Scrimba.com. They have a screen cast system where an actual instructor tells you what to do in plain English with the corresponding code on screen. If you want to see how a change would affect the code, you can pause the cast and run the code yourself.

And if you want to learn back end, a back end programmer suggested learning PHP. Still in high demand in the job market.

Use your words. Tell her you don’t want to and why.

And my guess would be a fraction of those warned would phone the scammers back to find another way to pay them. Some folks can’t bear to know they’ve been tricked.

This just confirms the worst case scenario for me. This might be posturing, but it’s far more likely ByteDance can’t reveal how much command the CCP has over the data.

lemm.ee is already defederated. Didn’t even have to do anything. I think I chose the right instance.

Edit: defederated not federated

REPORTER: Where does your data come from?

CTO: Bitch, are you trying to get me sued?

I’ve never heard of Krita before, and now twice in one day. Please tell me why?

Number go up mean safe go down.

I found that it helps if you ask chatGPT 4 to act as a Vulcan from Star Trek, it does better with logic puzzles. But it doesn’t work with 3.5.

It does amazingly well with schemas:

When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped. What does “it” refer to: the rabbit or the dog?

In the sentence “When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped,” the pronoun “it” refers to the dog, not the rabbit.

This is because the rabbit is described as “dead,” meaning it cannot hop or move. The verb “hopped” implies movement, which can only logically apply to the living subject in the sentence, which is the dog.

So the intended meaning is that when the dog saw the dead rabbit, the dog itself hopped, likely in surprise or reaction to seeing the dead animal.

When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk. What does “it” refer to: the iceberg or the ship?

In the sentence “When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk,” the pronoun “it” refers to the ship, not the iceberg.

The reason is that icebergs, being large masses of ice floating in water, do not actually “sink” when struck. They are already floating and may crack or break apart when struck, but the word “sunk” implies something going down below the water’s surface.

Ships, on the other hand, are vessels designed to float on water. If a ship strikes an iceberg with enough force, it can cause damage that leads to the ship taking on water and eventually sinking below the surface.

So in this context, with the verb “sunk” being used, it is more logical that “it” is referring to the ship sinking after striking the iceberg, rather than describing what happened to the stationary iceberg itself.

Do you have a link or something? I’d like to check it out.

Do yourself a favor and read Walkaway. My favorite book. The structure is a bit of a departure from Doctorow’s other books. More like Kim Stanley Robinson in that there is a group of characters but the real main character is the birth of a post scarcity society.
