    It doesn't require porn. Most movies, tv shows, rom-coms or dramas, have "unrealistic" depictions of "normal" relationships.

    You failed. My steak was thin and 4x2 minutes was too long and it was past well done

    Honestly, most places I've been can't do it well. I've had good steaks but I've been to "steak restaurants" and had plenty of bad or mediocre steaks.

    It's surprising to me you've been that lucky with Belkin. They do not have a good reputation. Maybe cables are easy so that's an easy bar to pass.

    The analogy I'd use is using LLMs for coding is like a movie director does for movies. A movie director does not draw storyboards, they ask an H.I. (Human Intelligence) storyboard …

    My hobby is making things. I used to make them with a screwdriver and a hammer and a handsaw. Then I bought a drill and got some screwdriving bits, an a pneumatic hammer and an arm…

    Sounds like the beginning of the end of rust to me AI is a jet engine - Banning is for creation is like saying "we require you to go by ship/car/propeller-plane" Yes, a policy that…

    Apparently buttons in buttonholes as a clothing fastener were not a thing until 1300 ce. Maybe that fact is false but, if true, it's crazy to me it took until 1300 ce to think of p…

    The path I see is I just ask for the functionality and AI builds it from scratch. No need for other people's software/libraries. I get it's not 100% there today but I do have that …

    Maybe they took their que from Apple. The Apple Store in Ginza Tokyo used to have a 3 floors and the elevator is just set to go 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. There are no buttons. It …

    It's extremely common in an office building I used to work in. The office has 21 floors and people shuffle between them often. Going up or down 1 or 2 floors there are stairs. Also…

    I'm curious what LLM options I can use in Codepen. To be honest, at this point, quite a few of the things I'd want to do in a site like CodePen I want to start with a prompt, then …
