My wife has decades of music downloaded from CDs etc. It's just the music she likes, no ads/distractions/faffing about with networks etc. For her commute it works great to have just an MP3 player.

She doesn't want to listen to other music, she likes what she knows, so the benefit of recommendations etc aren't of interest either.

Just one data point for your question :)

I Ctrl+v the first few questions:

Hi GPT! Today we're going to be creating our own language. Do not improvise unless I explicitly tell you to improvise, and remember all of the vocabulary and grammar that we define together. Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready! Let's get started creating our own language. What would you like to do first? Graham Kitteridge Okay. I think this language will be spoken by slime beings. let's name the language Glorp.

All right. So the language we're creating is called Glorp and it will be spoken by slime beings. Got it. What kind of grammar rules should Glorp have? Graham Kitteridge First, let's pick ten common nouns. Pick ten common English nouns, and provide translations of them in Glorp

Sure! Here are ten common English nouns and their translations in Glorp:

    "house" = "gluz"
    "table" = "sliz"
    "book" = "flurp"
    "car" = "slim"
    "dog" = "dlorp"
    "cat" = "mlem"
    "food" = "glib"
    "drink" = "slurp"
    "tree" = "swomp"
    "flower" = "slurk"
These are just suggestions, of course. You can use any words you like for these nouns in Glorp. Let me know if you have any changes or additions.

(Then i got timed out)

On a global marketplace? $100/hour is a ridiculously good rate for a large % of workers. Maybe not in SF or Tech Hubs but for a graphics designer in India, or Eastern Europe?

I work with linux kernel and boot stuff a lot at the moment. That page doesn't tell me at a glance, someone with technical knowhow, what the actual problem is.

If i have to dive into a bunch of mailing list tickets to find out, that isn't very well described.

I'd still be interested in the actual summary of the issue if anyone has it.

I recently subscribed to a Patreon for a Youtuber that I watch, and sent them a message through the platform basically thanking them for making the comment.

This was the first time I've also become a Pateron for somebody, but I really felt like I wanted to give back/support their content.

They did respond with a nice message too so it seemed that it actually reached them.

Why are all those job postings only minutes ago? Is this brand new or am I missing something?

I just watched [2]. Can thoroughly recommend, very watchable presenter & I feel like although I had no idea what he was doing half the time it was very cool. Technological Magic!

I agree with a lot of these.

One thing i've noticed in life is that our use of aschynchronous communication methods is much more in a "respond now" fashion.

Also as a contributor to StackOverflow your point about asking questions with the right amount of information is really spot on.

Little unsure how this is new findings:

"exposure to an intense and powerful [LED] light is 'photo-toxic' and can lead to irreversible loss of retinal cells and diminished sharpness of vision,"

This is the reason we have light and laser safety standards to ensure that people aren't being exposed to dangerous levels of light...
