'It almost doubled our workload': AI is supposed to make jobs easier. These workers disagree in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I remembered when chat GPT first came out, the torrent of dweebs posting AI responses to questions as if they are interesting. One even tried to argue with me using a chat GPT response.

Hopefully, the novelty will wear off, and people will get the message that AI just isn't that interesting.

Oof, that's not a good look for us at all.

What would happen if I were driving on 5th gear at 120 km/h and then switched to first gear? in c/[email protected]

It's called a "money shift", and, assuming there isn't a gate or interlock in the transmission to stop you, you will massively over rev the engine, and destroy it.

There's a few videos on YouTube of it happening.

Basically sums it up really, although it's great fun to drop in and stir up shit every so often.

They're completely off the deep end though.

Light-based “LiFi” is stunningly fast, notably fragile—and now standardized in c/[email protected]

You then have a communication system that can be shut down by fog or heavy rain though.

It's slightly less stupid in interior applications, but data centre applications will almost always be better suited to wired.

I don't really see the advantage over a fibre connection myself.

I wonder if anyone's skated a wave before?

Oh, that smile.

Huh, I'd never heard of them before.

Dafuq is a bed sock?

OP is talking about sandals though.

Three years in, and Space Force still sounds silly.

crossing lake Manapouri. (youtu.be)
 

This is the first day of our Doubtful sound trip, where we cross Lake Manapouri, and get ourselves and our boats across Wilmot pass and into Doubtful sound itself.

The pass does not connect to the main road network, so all vehicles using the pass must be barged across the lake, which is why we didn't simply drive to the sound.

This was the start of a two week trip in the sound.

Hole in the rock, Cape Brett, and Deep Water Cove. (youtu.be)
 

This is the second video after we towed a boat across to Urapukapuka, and I think filmed the next day. From Urapukapuka, we paddled to Hole in the Rock, and stopped at deep water cove on the way back for lunch.

towing a kayak full of camping gear. (youtu.be)
 

This was a trip we did a few years ago, paddling from Kaingahoa marae to Urapukapuka bay campsite. The kayak was loaded with camping gear, including a queen size air mattress, a tent big enough to stand up in, a chilly bin, and a whole second tent we used for storage.

The paddling distance was just under 3km, and took just under an hour.

Sea caves, archways and tunnels on a Kapiti circumnavigation (youtu.be)
 

This is a video I did a few months ago, on a rare dead calm day where our group was able to explore all of these caves.

The wave action against this stretch of coast is pretty intense, and this area is usually far too dangerous to explore in this way.
