Snakes

  • Unfortunately, there's no one stop shop or one size fits all solution to this, I think. If there were, bad actors would abuse it and it wouldn't work anymore. If you're around people regularly and you'd like them to know you're no threat, getting to know them in a neighborly fashion might help a bit, but I'm afraid that in general we're just dealing with a mass erosion of trust in general.

  • Went to see Unicorn just as it came out - purely by chance, I was in town and needed to kill a couple of hours.

    You'll find this out if you look at most reviews, but it's a solid 6/10 movie. It's competent and has an interesting premise, but it doesn't do anything terribly original with it. The "scare" moments were predictable to even a passive fan of horror, though not unearned.

    What brings it out of mediocrity are the performances; the whole cast is bringing their A game. Even if the characters never really surprise you, they're still somehow believable and it's easy to root for (or against) them.

  • Pretty hesitant about this one. Mario at least had a precedent of entertaining if not high quality adaptations. Zelda has, what, the cartoon with obnoxious Link and the CDI games?

    Not saying those aren't entertaining in their own right but good golly would I not like to see a modern interpretation of those particular interpretations.

  • I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

    While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there's a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it's supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there's no real consistency since it's built across prompts.

    I'm confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

    Ultimately, it just feels like you're offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

  • It makes very good food (mostly meat) and due to above observation many sous vide recipes call for a quick sear at the end of cook time.

    Ideally it's done with specific bags designed to be used at high temperature, even if the temperatures aren't as high as oven temps.
