If these are technical manuals, I see no issue.

But fucking fiction?

I cannot imagine how it must feel to be an American at the moment.

It is frankly a raft of emotions that changes by the hour, but none is positive.

I’ve neither the inclination nor energy to relitigate the details of 24-year-old events. Rest assured, we agree on what the outcome really was; this was when we as a nation stopped believing in voting.

Do you want to know more?

This feels like a “may be able to” situation. Once they’ve completed a flight from New York to London, I can get on board with the notion of them being able to fly from New York to London.

Who the fuck is Alice? (if you do not get this reference, Gompie is what you’re looking for.)

That’s all well and good, but it comes at the expense of the user experience.

The implication that rewriting GPT output makes one a professional writer … not sure we’re on the same page there. If you know how to use it for those results, great!

That’s because of bots like you. (I kid to make a point.)

Shit. You’re right.

All respect intended, is this not obvious?

This cannot be taught. I really wish it could, don’t get me wrong, but it just can’t.

We would not be here if this were possible. Something about rhyming, but I’m sorry, when Hitler is what you’re quoting, this becomes a different conversation.

I have read Mein Kampf. I’ve never read anything so poorly written, and I’ve dealt with a lot of junior reporters. Hitler should have stuck to speeches.

The problem here is we’re talking about Hitler. You generally don’t want to go there.

“But my phone said it would be OK” is a lousy epitaph!

It is irrelevant what anyone on Beehaw thinks if Mrs. Hedge isn’t a fan.

This is the correct take. Hence my worry.

We got used to foreign call centers. They’re not incompetent, but the wording is always off, and I say this as someone whose English usage is not exclusively American. Took me weeks to drop the Aussie accent.

Burnout is real, and it shows up well ahead of when we think it does ourselves. I frankly find it impressive and respectable that he was like, “well, I’m not doing what I used to, and I don’t know how to get back there, so I have a single option.” And that his wife believed enough in the work to just pick it up where he left off.

ETA: here’s his final post

From our other interactions, I’m going to suggest:

Cracking the Cryptic … it can be oddly satisfying to watch them solve a puzzle.

Anton Petrov for space news.

If you’re not familiar with Sabine Hossenfelder, I’d be very surprised, but she’s great for wider physics.

Robert Reich is doing some great things these days. The Saturday Coffee Klatsch is a must-watch for me, even if it gets a little predictable.

Beau of the Fifth Column, whom I’m aware from an earlier post is not highly regarded, burned out, and his wife has continued the channel. Rarely more then 5 minutes, and there’s never footage, just the news and quality analysis.

I’m getting somewhat tired of Bryan Tyler Cohen’s clickbait bullshit, but his panelists can be helpful in unpacking news.

Hope these are somewhat helpful!

Shouldn’t they be busy screwing other things? Don’t need doors flying off.

GIMP suffers the same problem. If you’re used to CS, anything else is going to be a horrific experience.

I’ve not tried Inkscape. Is it a bit more friendly?
