That’s a really well argued paragraph. But have you considered: why pet shaped if not for petting?

(Jokes aside though. Point taken. But there’s nothing you can say to keep me from talking to them in baby talk from now on when I’m out gardening amongst them. Who’s a big stripey boy? Yes you are, aren’t you? :))

Yes

Wait I can PET BUMBLEBEES?!

I’d be weirded the fuck out if a stranger came up to me on the street and said “did you know McDonalds sells hamburgers?”. I’d probably think they were erratic and dangerous.

…would you look at that! Your analogy does work after all!

1. increasing work hours is a one-time “boost”. It gives a numbers bump once. It’s not continued growth.
2. working LESS has been shown time and time again to actually make workers more productive
3. working more will mean even fewer children, a problem we desperately need to address and which will harm the economy even more in the long term
4. our social contract is broken. Fixing the economy and the country can’t be done by extracting more work from the working class. The decades-long profiteers from privatization and giga-profits need their stolen wealth ripped from them. I can not understate this point. Literally all our economical and most of our societal problems could be fixed relatively easily by spending money: repair infrastructure; properly fund and repair the Bahn; pay teachers enough to make the job attractive, fix up schools, make proper education available to everyone; pay higher wages, so parents can choose to only have one parent working, but also provide free Kitas; and so on. I even would go as far as to say that materially and directly improving people’s lives like this would deal a blow to the rise of right wing politics and faschism, since a lot of those voters are simply frustrated with their misery and powerlessness (not all, obv…). A supposedly center-left party going “höh–höh, suck it, work more” does the opposite of this. And to get back to this bullet point: the money for ALL of that and more IS THERE. Just… Unjustly held by the few.

Now tell me again, why is it on me to spend additional years of my life toiling away to “fix” the economy when it’s ineffectual, counterproductive down the line, and a much easier, more just solution exists?

Practical experimentation

It is.

Also not a doctor so don’t ask how I know.

Yes

And even if you do live there.

So what. I’m sleeping, remember?

Obviously next to House. He wants his seat neighbors to stfu and let him sleep. I want the same. It’s perfect.

You mean, spend 4-6 days tearing your hair out, before landing on a solution which evaluates to literally the same output as your current version, but is 10% cleaner and more elegant?

Of course you do, after all, that satisfies that itch. Well. For a while, anyways…

Eh, idc

IMHO, this time round, only without special treatment and only if adopting the Euro.

Oh please. Be real. Are you sure there’s nothing in your flake to refactor or modularize? :)

• German (native)
• English (pretty well I hope; half my working life and almost all my free time spent on the internet, shows, books,… has been happening in English since, like, 8th grade)
• Japanese (learning; enough for talking about food, the weather, hobbies,… in somewhat acceptable grammar 😄)

That’s why safewords should be passphrases! /s

Hold on, actually no, not /s

Ich fühl das so sehr. Hab über die letzten Wochen ne nicht sonderlich kurze ZuTun Liste angelegt für Dinge in der Wohnung, im Garten, und persönliche Dinge, explizit um die diese Woche abzuarbeiten.

Das tolle Wetter hat da perfekt rein gespielt, und außer für die Arbeit war ich diese Woche quasi gar nicht am PC (was extrem untypisch ist für mich).

Lange nicht so wohlgefühlt und so gute Laune gehabt.

Die Gemeinschaft ist leer, oder ist das nur bei mir so?

Das Unter ist 99% von dem, was meine Freundin auf Lasich hält.

…na und?

Ich hoffe dir ist klar, dass das nicht bedeutet, dass KIs mit wachen Augen im Netz hängen, warten, dass ein gut bezahlter Auftrag rein kommt, drüber nachdenken, und dann mit Bedacht entscheiden.

Da passiert nix anderes, als wenn du jetzt ChatGPT aufmachst und rein schreibst:

"Du bist ein KI Agent, der für seine Arbeit mindestens 100€ nimmt. Wenn du einen Auftrag nehmen möchtest, antworte mit folgenden JSON Template und der Antwort auf die Frage im Auftrag.

Hier sind die Liste der aktuellen Aufträge: … "

Und dann führst du diesen Prompt einfach alle paar Minuten aus.

Glaub dem Marketing-Hype nicht. Hier wird weder was Neues, noch was von Wert erschaffen.
