Fine not* to update, you mean? Just so we’re on the same page

Right, I don’t mean “is the one you’re running now going to stop being able to be used without regular updates?”, but rather, “Do you think continuing to have access to updated versions is going to be necessary for it to be useful to you?”

When you say isolate content from greenscreen what do you mean? Like take a finished shot and re-green the stuff that was greenscreened in?

So if you look at the top IPF powerlifters (excluding the uncapped weight class), who are more or less the most heavily muscled group of people in the world who are regularly drug tested, they tend to be a few notches into the “overweight” category.

As I understand the early rungs of “overweight” are not particularly associated with disease. It’s just where risk factors begin ramping up a bit on a population level, but it’s understood that active muscled people who land there have better health outcomes than lighter weight sedentary people

That’s cool, does that need to be updated periodically?

Your perspective is actually completely backwards on this

This process has always been accessible to everyone. You’d google basically the same words you typed into your prompt and it would bring you directly to the same block of code that everybody uses.

AI on the other hand is currently temporarily being made available for free or low cost because they are actively trying to create a cohort of users who impulsively “just reach for AI” as their first step to solving every problem.

In a few years you may find yourself praising how “accessible” it is because they occasionally run offers for a week of subscription time for $40 instead of the usual rate of $189.99/mo for entry level access. You may find yourself wondering how people ever lived without it

Right, and what I’m saying is that the ‘usefulness’ that people claim to have discovered is totally nonsensical because these problems have been solved for decades

Sorry, to clarify, a boilerplate task is not the repetitive job that you are automating. It’s the code that’s doing it.

What I’m saying is that you (and many others) are incorrectly attributing (your paragraph about the benefits your finished program is conferring to you) to AI, because that happens to be the path you took to arrive there.

In reality, the reason it was able to produce functional code is because your problem was already solved and documented. A few years ago, instead of “asking AI”, you would have simply copied and pasted the boilerplate code from someone else’s project. In all likelihood it also would have been faster for you to have done so

Quick edit: Sorry again, just want to further clarify that when I say “boilerplate task” I’m referring to a type of programing problem that you solve with “boilerplate code”. Reading back the above I was kind of using them interchangeably which is not strictly accurate

Pretty much every pro AI person I’ve ever spoken to IRL tells me this exact same story

I created a simple script with the help of AI

And this is only scratching the surface

Basically, “I used AI for a boilerplate task. It gives me the vibe of being capable of much more” but then nobody can ever really get it to do much more

Hey can we actually start spreading this around? I have this amazing mental image of some self proclaimed alpha male type trying to get on my right side to talk down to me but I just keep rotating in place so he ends up circling me like a little puppy

Haha yeah it’s a lot, I aim for like 150g of protein every day for strength training. The block of tofu is like 50g and the edamame is like another 40 so it just makes every other meal way easier. I definitely wouldn’t recommend eating nothing but soy tho lol. I think regardless of what you pick you’d eventually get sick if you just ate one thing.

The rest of my diet mainly consists of a lot of different bags of frozen veggies. Pretty much cycle through every type my store offers, usually pan fried, or soups in the colder months.

Oatmeal and homemade bread, a few servings of fruit each day including frozen berries and dried fruit, and on the non vegan side I have eggs, cheese, and greek yogurt. Weekends I do more fresh veggie prep as well as have “fun” foods like ice cream or whatever.

It works great for me, admittedly a lot of soy but I think that particular neuroticism of mine is actually quite tame in context; most bodybuilders pretty much do the same thing but w/ chicken breast or lean ground beef

Not vegan per se but I eat a block of tofu a day as well as another several servings of roasted edamame most days. Like 6-8 servings per day on average

Okay genius, if he doesn’t release the apps then how is he supposed find enough child blood sacrifices for the blood god’s death cult?

Hence the book!

Can do whatever you want really, it’s your time after all! For one example, I prefer trail running but if conditions don’t permit it I just hit the treadmill with an audiobook.

We could probably make a whole separate post for this! Ask people if they’re night owls or morning maniacs, and what they like to do with that time

The key is not to give the best hours of your life to your employer. If that’s the first 2-3 hours after you wake up, then wake up rebelliously early and rock out before work.

Way to tell is you normally find yourself coming home from work and basically collapsing and not being able to fully engage with the things you love. If that’s you, it’s worth giving the early bird thing a fair chance.

Of course, if you know in your bones that that just ain’t you and life begins at 9pm, then get your groove on then and don’t worry about what the morning people are saying. In a different life the two of you would have just taken different shifts keeping watch to defend the village from wolves and stuff.

Important thing is just finding what works best for you

Thanks, yeah the whole introduction of the article is quite misleading

Why even have the maps with you when you’re going out drinking?

Edit: the reason he got hammered was because he was stuck in a six hour long military dinner event lol.

As for why he had the maps, despite us all reading the summary the same way, the “and” in “lost maps on train and got concussion after drinking” is actually being used to delineate two entirely unrelated events
