Hadn’t heard about this one, and had to look it up. So, for others in the same boat…

It depends on what info you’re trying to find.

I was recently trying to figure out the name of a particular uncommon type of pipe fitting. I could describe what it looked like, but had no idea what it was called. I described it to chatgpt, which gave me a name, which I could then search for with a normal search engine to confirm that the name was correct. Sure enough, search results took me to plumbing supply companies selling it, with pictures that matched what I described.

But, asking it when a particular feature got added to a piece of software? There’s no additional information one would get from the answer to help them confirm that the answer is correct.

ETA: The above strategy has also failed me many times, though, where chatgpt gives me information that follow-up searches only confirmed that chatgpt hallucinated the answer. Just wanted to say that to reinforce that you have to assume it’s hallucinating until you get independent confirmation.

“I felt we had a deal about four times,” Trump said, referring to a prospective peace agreement with Russia. “But it just kept going on and on.”

Other nations trying to negotiate tariffs.

This seems appropriate. The people that were sent to Alcatraz at least had something that resembled due process.

How does that not tip over when you turn?

That’s my point.

No, that wasn’t your point. Now you’re moving the goal post. Your point was, and I quote,

The city handles what overflows onto ITS property, they don’t care about your property.

Plus, the article explicitly states that the ordinance specifies 12 inches, not three feet.

You can keep digging your hole deeper, but it’s not going to support your claim. Your just wrong here, and one sign of a well adjusted adult is knowing when to admit they’re wrong.

I just picked a random US city out of thin air.

If they’re that concerned about how tall your grass is, I imagine they’ll also get involved if you let trash pile up.

I think the reason people get desensitized to it is that it just happens so frequently that it turns into background noise.

This, but also a, “WTF more than I’ve already done am I supposed to do about it?” attitude.

The billionaires are still globetrotting in their private jets. The corporations are still spewing out pollution in the name of shareholder value. And our political leaders are, at best, saying, “Golly, maybe we should do something about this,” and at worst, actively denying that there’s a problem and doing everything they can to block any attempts to fix anything.

So you can’t really be surprised when regular people just throw up their hands and say, “Fuck it! I did my part. I need to prioritize protecting myself and my family now.”

That’s absolutely not the point. I was criticizing the journalism, not technology. 🙄

It’s right there!

You’re still getting paid a white collar salary and benefits

That’s not generally what “volunteer” means. From the article,

Amazon office workers in New York requested to donate time over to Fresh delivery process during firm’s busiest time.

Thanks for the clarification. Fixed.

67 watts is 1.608 kilowatt hours per day. In California (one of the more expensive states for electricity), electricity costs $0.31/kwh. That would come to just under $0.50/day or $15/month.

Waggle your finger at the Nazis a little harder, Chuckles. Maybe this time they’ll stop.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called coverage of one reported kidnapping a “hoax” in a post Tuesday on X and said: “ICE does not employ bounty hunters to make arrests.”

I’ll take that as official confirmation that ICE is, in fact, employing bounty hunters to make arrests.

I was going to calculate how much electricity this would consume and how expensive it would be, but the answer to that is plainly “too much to imagine”.

Purely hypothetically speaking, but, what if someone had their own private Dyson Sphere generating electricity? (Asking for a friend.)

Open settings, and search for"Gemini" from the search bar. That’s the only way I was able to get to anything Gemini related. I turned off it’s access to everything from there, then the last setting was to switch back to assistant which appears to have turned Gemini off, but who knows (hence disabling it’s access to everything anyway).

These instructions are awful. There’s no Gemini listed in my apps, and Settings > Apps doesn’t show it either. But if I search for “Gemini” in settings, THEN it shows up, but doesn’t have access to anything the article says to do.

However, from that screen, I was able to apparently turn off its access to everything, and switch back to assistant, which appears to have turned it off completely, but who knows if it’s still lurking in the background.
