What do you use for spreadsheets, libreoffice? I could see not liking a specific program but I love a spreadsheet and use them constantly. I use libre for ideological reasons but don’t find it as convenient for certain tasks as excel or google sheets.
Good news. They mention that the law doesn’t apply to managers, I wonder how they define that? As an example, I have “director” in my title, but don’t have any direct reports, and have kind of dotted line people who have different official supervisors.
What would you say is missing from the mastodon user experience vs twitter?
Things I would like:
But overall, for me the functionality I used from twitter I have on mastodon too. The real missing feature is the huge variety of people, and getting that takes time.
Can’t say I have much of an opinion at all, but seeing this post is reminding me of that documentary where the guy was commissioning videos of young dude wrestlers tickling each other, and he played it off like it wasn’t, but of course it was for sex reasons
You’re right that it completely fabricates stuff. And even with that reality, it improves my productivity, because I can take multiple swings and still be faster than googling. (And sometimes might just not find an answer googling)
Of course you’ve got to know that’s how the tool works, and some people are hyping it and acting like it’s useful in all situations. And there are scenarios where I don’t know enough about the subject to begin with to ask the right question or realize how incorrect the answer it’s giving is.
I only commented because you said you can’t get the correct answer, and that people don’t check the answer, both of which I know from my and my friends actual usage is not the case.
I have seen someone type “tell me how make a million dollar business” into chatgpt. Of course that’s not going to work. But LLMs have immediate obvious value that crypto does not, and I think making the comparison reveals a lack of experience with those useful applications. I’m using chatgpt nearly every day as a tool to help with coding. It’s not a replacement for a person, but it is like giving a person a forklift.
This hasn’t been my experience. Yes, chatgpt gets stuff wrong, and fairly regularly. But I can ask it my question directly, and can include sample code, and I get an answer immediately. Anyone going on stack overflow has to either google around and sift through answers for relevance, or has to post the question and wait for someone to respond.
With either chatgpt or stack you have to check the answer to make sure it works - that’s how coding goes. But one I know if it works or not pretty much immediately with fairly low investment of time and effort. And if it doesn’t, I just rephrase the question, or literally say “that doesn’t seem to work, now I’m getting this error: $error”
Realizing we’re talking about an imaginary world here, but in some cases probably appropriate not to discuss sensitive matters when you don’t know who is within earshot of the communicator
Some of this stuff seems real, but in the one twitter thread embedded in this article, the person says, “Remember, this is fiction.”
Oh I mean in real life: https://wiki.rlsh.net/wiki/Main_Page
Is this like those guys who pretend to be superheroes?
I do? And most people I know?
Yeah you’re right, I’ve been grinding like crazy (having as many offspring as possible)
Electronic voting could use open source software, but so can a machine that scans a marked ballot. The best practice is to have voters mark a physical ballot, then have them put it in a machine (running open source software) that scans and tabulates the results. If there’s a question about the integrity of the results, we can go back and count physical ballots.
@rockslice addressed this in another comment - you use signing certificates to verify it’s the correct code, which is a widely accepted method.
Yeah why are there any comments taking this seriously? Not that it couldn’t be true, but the linked site talks about prayer being the reason the satellites are going down, and how non human entities are attacking us.
