On the one hand we seem to currently have some of the cheapest air tickets the world has ever seen. If you're willing to travel like cattle.

On the other hand it feels like air travel is now like getting on the city bus and there's some guy vomiting in front of you and a screaming kid pissing on the seat behind you, all the while you're getting herded around like a cow, your stuff is at high risk of getting stolen with no recourse, and the airline is playing mind games about the best time to buy a ticket after sneaking in a bunch of clauses designed to get you to pay more later.

Interesting, we call these things ladybugs in the US. I haven't seen one in a long time but I know they are good news for Rose gardens.

From California: hey New York, your place or ours?

Guys let's just get one thing on the table.

The people with the guns and the money aren't going to give them up freely nor are they going to play by any rules or so-called moral values except for whichever facilitate obtaining more guns or money.

Always has been, always will be.

The only offsetting force is the power of the masses, which could come together and take it back at anytime.

I was in high school in the late 90s when I think this song was getting nonstop playtime.

High school is a weird but oftentimes memorable time period for so many, and this song takes me right back there.

It's just a feelings graph. It doesn't reflect actual quantifiable product quality, longevity, or value.

In the notes it just says consumers were surveyed.

In other words if you say your product is made in Germany there's a better chance people will assume your product is better.

Couldn't have a thought further from his mind

I'm sure her boss was a real piece of work. Can't imagine anything about this job was fun.

A long time ago.

These days, I keep both audio and vibration turned off. If somebody needs to reach me they will want to message and then wait until I check.

Do you mean Buying = believing Or Buying = buying

Because I think the real problem here is that people actually are buying=buying and that's why they keep doing it.

 

I was recently in the Bay area and tried these e-bikes from Lyft.

When you're finished you are expected to return them to a docking zone as opposed to ditching them wherever you finish. These parking locations are all over the place and easy to find.

They get the job done and the bike is fairly pleasant to ride on flat surfaces. Hills aren't recommended. The city is bike friendly in most areas with bike lanes all over.

If you're looking to get around and the weather is good, I'd recommend giving them a try if you're in SF.

And there are lots of other sizes too, such as the huge 40135 (40mm x 135mm)

Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.

In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.

I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.

This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.

Any ideas?

 

I'm in the process of hiring for a position and I have two candidates. It's a tough call because both are very proficient but each has some unique attributes. I thought I might ask ChatGPT's assistance with thinking it through.

I recorded myself talking through my thoughts on each one as I read through their resume and the Q&As that I've done with each. Then uploaded the audio file to the whisper-1 api for transcription (for this I'm using the OpenAI API).

Then I pasted the transcribed text into GPT4 and then prompted it with: "Above is my transcribed notes comparing two candidates for a position together. Help me think through this decision by asking me questions, one at a time."

ChatGPT proceeded to ask me really good questions, one after the other. After a while I felt like it had got me to think about many new factors and ideas. After about 22 questions I'd had enough, so I asked it to wrap up and summarize our next steps, to which it spit out a bullet-point list of what we'd concluded and, what steps we should take next.

I don't know if everyone is using ChatGPT this way, but this is a really useful feedback system.

 

This bike has a 10ah battery in the seat post and a 7 gear derailleur. Top speed is limited to 25km but I think it can be reprogrammed to remove the limit.
