  • Yeah, once you have to question its answer, it’s all over. It got stuck and gave you the next best answer in it’s weights which was absolutely wrong.

    You can always restart the convo, re-insert the code and say what’s wrong in a slightly different way and hope the random noise generator leads it down a better path :)

    I’m doing some stuff with translation now, and I’m finding you can restart the session, run the same prompt and get better or worse versions of a translation. After a few runs, you can take all the output and ask it to rank each translation on correctness and critique them. I’m still not completely happy with the output, but it does seem that sometime if you MUST get AI to answer the question, there can be value in making it answer it across more than one session.






  • Sounds like you’re getting better numbers than we do :) Wonder if there’s some incompatibility in our fleet hardware that you don’t have. We’re mostly Dell XPS. The biggest problem we regularly have is the audio output and mic inputs going rogue. They’ll be using the machine with sound all day, no problem, go into a meeting and there’s no sound. They’ll have the same problem with microphones. Somehow the browser session behind the scenes doesn’t pick up the current default device settings and the volume for the Slack session ends up being muted.


  • I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn’t have any. I was all “FINE!, I’ll make my own” and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

    One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn’t care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I’ve been trying to replicate that for a while.






  • We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

    We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

    Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

    Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

    Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

    Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.





  • There’s not enough information supplied.

    Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

    It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

    Mother of 4

    Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

    Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

    She took 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

    Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

    Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

    wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

    The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

    30 MPH road

    Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

    Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

    Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

    Maybe it’s not the first time?

    Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

    Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.
