Yeah, not sure how often those commercial ones go out. I know the chain, or the bobber or some other plastic pieces will often break in the tank, but not to often. I notice they have more issues with those newer ones that have partial and full flushes, as if you are supposed to use half a flush if you urinate. Went through 3 of those cannister systems in a couple years.

Almonds are bad for bees? Huh

I mean I prefer the motion sensor things when I’m public, but I can’t see how it could ever be smart to get rid of the button. I would be fine with having a motion sensor at home.

Okay, that matches more what I was told when I had one of those sonic care toothbrushes 20 years ago.

Shit, this makes so much sense. I knew I hadn’t stopped brushing my teeth as often but I definitely went through a spell of having heartburn and daily for months. My teeth I felt like were getting worse out of nowhere.

Thanks for mentioning this, really need to figure out what foods were giving me that reaction… now I only get heartburn about once a month, so something I changed helped. Likely need to cut out a lot of things

45 seconds? That seems a lot shorter than what I grew up being told. Then again I’m not using an electric toothbrush and I should be. I’ve let my teeth go to shit

Just because tits can fly doesn’t mean we should ostrichsize those that can’t.

Yeah but birds do have tits. You know… I’m going to skip trying to add a picture of a tit here, that search might backfire.

I think what they are talking about is the Gemini app which was installed from the play store it likely doesn’t have access to everything. Android put a update that integrated it to replace androids assistant. I assume it is the same one they are rolling into the Google Home and whatever so they all work the same and sync through the Home app. (Haven’t tried any of that, I keep off most everything these days. Used to love playing with new tech… Now I’m just tired)

It replaced the Google assistant in standard android. Overall it is a worse experience for me so far. It tries to give much more information and isn’t as easy to navigate to me. Most common things I would do is set alarms, say things like “directions to Orange county DMV” or wherever. The alarms have gotten better but assistant always used to say, “your alarm is set for 6am” and id see a thing on screen that would say 12 hrs and 22 mins until the alarm and it would disappear about 3 seconds after it created it. Gemini doesn’t have that. And if I ask for directions, it reads off things for like 30 seconds and makes it hard to just click on map or what not (nonsense shit too, like reading off the GPS coordinate, pronouncing all the pronunciation). I didn’t go out of my way to update it, it’s just a cheap Motorola phone because I broke my old Pixel in Phoenix on a work trip. For a $70 phone though, it really does do all I need these days though. First phone I’ve had that I can use it for hours during the day and the battery doesn’t die by the end of the day, because the CPU/GPU aren’t good enough to require high power use, haha. Not sure how it works with other phones these days but I used this phone to map 2 locations (about 20 miles total), make a phone call (30 mins), check out Lemmy (1.5 hours waiting), then turned it off, and came back 37 hours later and turned it on and my battery was at 92%. Sometimes having a slow processor has perks I guess.

I was lazy the other day and I asked gemini to set an alarm for me, then asked how long it was until that alarm. Not even fucking close to the right amount of time. I figured it would be smart enough to just subtract for me…

Should have said 8 hours and 2 mins… Nope, just made up a time

I’m to lazy to clean both the metal straw and the rubber covers, I just clean the metal straw and forget about the rubber part. So I guess not around me.

They have such cute little nibblers when they’re little, haha

Id ask if we could trade genetics, but your father may or may not be Satan and I’m not sure what that entails. Fuck it, I’m down

So uh… If I didn’t know what those were before you mentioned them is that a bad thing?

It always makes me so disappointed. I have tried cilantro probably a hundred times now always thinking yeah, it makes things better for others it has to taste fine this time. So I use it when I make tacos or anything if someone else is eating with me. Yet every time, still tastes like fucking soap. Lol. I really want it to not… Not sure why.

I’m guessing they meant it as a joke and not about the person in the picture. Kind of like the “sir this is a Wendys” joke. But an overweight person working fast food looking down on people for being born in a different time and living a different life.

Just my best guess.

Edit: Or they are just a troll?

I just don’t understand why they say this is the first thing you learn. I had to learn how to befriend my swamp puppy first. Then we studied climbing fences, and finally moved onto Palm trees later on. How else are you going to get your Christmas lights up there?

I think we need to make laws pertaining to the use and usage of the term by businesses. There is nothing intelligent about language models. Most of what AI is being used for in businesses is more “Automated Instructions” than anything intelligent.

Laws need to dictate that companies MUST have reasonable ability to get to a human representative and that they are legally responsible for their responses.

It’s fine to set up automated systems to assist people within companies, as the majority of issues people have can be solved through automated processes.

User: “I need access to this network share”

LLM: Okay submit this form: Link to network share access request form.

LLM: Can I further assist?

User submits form specifying what the network path location, radio buttons for read/ read, write permissions, and reason for needing access.

Form sends approve/deny button to owner of that specific network share in an email.

Approver clicks approve, and the user is added to the active directory group required, and receives an email back stating they have been added and they should log out and log back in so their active directory groups update group policies.

Time taken by users: 5 minutes Many companies have so many requests coming in that stuff like this often doesn’t get to the approving parties and completed for weeks.

But if you set up an LLM inside your company non external facing that locates forms and processes but cannot access user data or permissions it can take the workload of managing 60,000 users down by a significant amount.

(I’m sure there are a million other uses that could be legitimate, but that’s just a quick one off the top of my head)

I don’t follow, what good stories or bad stories?
