That guy I know from high school who adores McRib sandwiches will be stoked.

I paid about $100 less to have my workstation shipped with Ubuntu instead of Windows 10 Pro 3 years ago. United States.

I find chat gpt to be useful for deciphering error messages, generally noticing things I missed. It’s also helpful for boilerplate code, essentially a customized form of stack overflow. Beyond that it really has trouble knowing what it’s doing. I can’t imagine trusting it for completing a large project. Helpful for minor optimizations though.

In this case the web server will temporarily exceed 1GB RAM and crash. It’s usually hovering around 700MB. I configured 4GB swap but I haven’t seen it use more than 1.5GB. I honestly doubt they would even have a way to know, but thanks for the warning.

Swap is super helpful if you’re running a web server on a 1GB RAM 2 CPU Linode instance!!

The syntax is easy, but the options change a bit depending on what you want to do. My entire job I requires me to use my brain so I don’t mind cheating when it doesn’t really matter as in this case. In my case I wanted a SQLite database to store URLs and playlist IDs for recording attempts and to make sure I don’t download the same video multiple times. I think I also had songs run thru music brainz for audio fingerprinting and mp3 tags. ChatGPT doesn’t get it right the first time but often gives a reasonable boilerplate piece of code as a template to start from.

Just delete it. You’re losing momentum.

I have zero interest in learning all the intricacies of ffmpeg so I find ChatGPT to be very useful. I’ve also used it for yt-dlp for downloading videos and converting the audio to mp3. Very useful. I personally save them as bash scripts so I can just input the file name or url as a command line argument. On Mac you can also wrap your bash scripts in AppleScript if you want to make applets for these functions. ChatGPT works great for apple script as well but I’ve had to feed it source code (eg from Apple Digital Mastering applets) to ensure it writes the new code correctly. You still must know what you’re doing.

You had me at BuzzOff!

How about an anti-Honey plug in that reminds you not to order when you’re trying to check out.

The whole point of fake coins is to trade them for real coins.

If you play Russian roulette with two bullets like a real man, then this model is about the same outcome!

Sounds like a job for JoMiran! Rooting for you!

He stated he was feeding the emails into AI.

They need to give all interviews in with an Inspector Clouseau accent to let us know they are under duress like the US pilot who was put on TV during the first gulf war.

The grift is obvious for anyone paying attention but a lot of his base doesn’t realize that they pay almost no tax because of credits and deductions. Tariffs will hit the working class hard.

True but you can run Linux on your own machine but it doesn’t stop anyone from paying AWS or Microsoft to handle it for them.

In a way I’m glad he’s doing this. He’s going to inflect so much pain that he loses in a landslide in four or 8 years or whatever. If income tax rates are 0, then a new administration would be able to set them as high as they want without consideration of trying to increase them by 2 percent or whatever they do now.

My kid has an Apple Watch but because you can’t play a game on it he often leaves it charging by his bed. He’s also responsible and sets alarms for his chores which means I’m often the only one around when they go off. Sometimes I think about turning it off and hiding it.
