My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.

She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.

I think everyone is just hoping Russia runs out of money and political willingness to continue the war. Or if Putin dies (he seems fine, but he’s no spring chicken), good chance that ends the war.

Ukraine never had a hope of winning the war conventionally. The real question is what will be left when it’s over. Being the choke point for Russian military ambition is still a shit fucking deal.

I hope they get just as much help rebuilding after as they have gotten fighting our war. America, naturally, has a mixed record there. When someone is no longer useful to us, we tend to forget.

He did the math and decided that one moment of action was worth more to him than it cost. The rich of America need to see that vast wealth inequality leads to more and more people coming to the same conclusion. That’s why they will make sure he is sentenced to death, to let us know what the cost will be. But a life lived in misery is only worth so much, and death is the worst they can do.

Historically speaking, yes. He will be convicted and executed as a message. The message to the rich is that the justice system they’ve we’ve bought and paid for has their back. To the rest of us it’s a message about the cost of going after the wealthy. Thing is, the more they fuck the rest of us over, the more it’s a cost worth paying. But they are trying to keep us in line.

Pretty sure you totally misinterpreted their intent, mate.

Just like paying for no ads on prime video? I’d rather donate to one or more independent plugin developers.

I’d be interested in what restrictions are between those two companies, because it seems to me like there’d be a lot of money in making Chrome what Google wants it to be.

I’m already out. Linux desktop, Firefox browser. It’s enough for me. Fuck MS, fuck Google, fuck Apple.

I had no idea notepad + AI was a thing. It sounds farcical, so I assumed wrongly it was a reference to NotebookLLM. My mistake. I shouldn’t have assumed OP was just being dismissive.

Well an example of something I think it could solve would be: “I’m trying to set this application up to run locally. I’m getting this error message. Here’s my configuration files. What is not set up correctly, or if that’s not clear, what steps can I take to provide more helpful information?”

ChatGPT is always okay at that as long as you have everything set up according to the most common scenarios, but it tells you a lot of things that don’t apply or are wrong in the specific case. I would like to get answers that are informed by our specific setup instructions, security policies, design standards, etc. I don’t want to have to repeat “this is a Java spring boot application running on GCP integrating with redis on docker… blah blah blah”.

I can’t say whether it’s worth it yet, but I’m hopeful. I might do the same with ChatGPT and custom GPTs, but since I use my personal account for that, it’s on very shaky ground to upload company files to something like that, and I couldn’t share with the team anyway. It’s great to ask questions that don’t require specific knowledge, but I think I’d be violating company policy to upload anything.

We are encouraged to use NotebookLLM, however.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I hadn’t heard about that. Notepad has always been no frills, and I can’t see integrating AI with that over just using AI, but they are and it seems silly, I agree.

Totally agree. It comes down to how often is this thing efficient for me if I pay the true cost. At work, yes it would save over $50/mo if it works well. At home it would be difficult to justify that cost, but I’d also use it less so the cost could be lower. I currently pay $50/mo between ChatGPT and NovelAI (and the latter doen’t operate at a loss) so it’s worth a bit to me just to nerd out over it. It certainly doesn’t save me money except in the sense that it’s time and money I don’t spend on some other endeavor.

My old video card is painfully slow for local LLM, but I dream of spending for a big card that runs closer to cloud speeds even if the quality is lower, for easier tasks.

I don’t think anyone is putting AI into Notepad. It reads to me like a response to NotebookLLM but maybe I was wrong.

I did at least explain what my vision is and why I wanted it which… doesn’t sound anything like Notepad, I think.

… I don’t use Notepad. For anything. Hell, I don’t even use Windows.

Not sure where the wires got crossed here.

I know I’m an enthusiast, but can I just say I’m excited about NotebookLLM? I think it will be great for documenting application development. Having a shared notebook that knows the environment and configuration and architecture and standards for an application and can answer specific questions about it could be really useful.

“AI Notepad” is really underselling it. I’m trying to load up massive Markdown documents to feed into NotebookLLM to try it out. I don’t know if it’ll work as well as I’m hoping because it takes time to put together enough information to be worthwhile in a format the AI can easily digest. But I’m hopeful.

That’s not to take away from your point: the average person probably has little use for this, and wouldn’t want to put in the effort to make it worthwhile. But spending way too much time obsessing about nerd things is my calling.

Well, just tell us one.

There was a guy that dated a girl I had a crush on all through high school. We later became friends and hung out almost constantly for a couple of years. We drifted way apart later, but for a time we were pretty tight and had some great times.

I also hate-fucked a (different) girl who really hurt me in high school. I carried that resentment around for almost twenty years. Not constantly, of course, but my memories of that time were always tainted. Anyway we connected on Facebook as she was divorcing. After a few weeks, hate-fucking became angry-fucking and the rest is history. Eventually we married and now we have two kids together, plus three from her first marriage.

He’s a techno libertarian, but doesn’t easily fit on the left-right axis. I suspect this will be what happens as leopards eat faces.

This is our interns last week as a dev intern for a big car maker. Bright kid. Had good ideas and in a private candid conversations he had identified many of the same problems with our team (I’m new, too).

I didn’t ask salary, but I’m sure he is getting paid, and I’m sure he has a bright future once he speaks up a bit more and takes more initiative (as an intern, it’s no surprise he was there to listen and learn, not act like the expert).

That’s just my long way of saying lots of big companies have IT interns, not just IT companies.
