I can appreciate that.

But does that mean if you phone it off, the physical switch is unable to do anything? Or does the switch just get inverted?

I love the Moon+ Reader app. Tons of features. I like that it has a dark mode and you can set the brightness very very low (on OLED) so reading in the dark at night is comfortable.

In addition to all the automation everyone has talked about, some of us are also data nerds.

I enjoy knowing the temp, air quality, etc. in every room. How does this change throughout the day/season? Did leaving this door open or this fan on improve anything? What can I automate at what threshold to improve things?

You can also get a lot of data about energy usage too. And if you have solar and battery, it’s neat seeing how much it affects and how much you save.

Automation is useful, but in the end it’s just a hobby like many other things. It’s fine to be into it or not into it.

I had a really good laugh today when I remembered that the area 51 raid happened. And the Naruto runner.

Do you digitize it yourself? That seems like a lot of work, even using ocr. And then making it pretty with formatting and all the stuff to make a good epub.

Let this be a lesson to everyone: Don’t sign up for beta testing brain chips like this guy. It’s subsidized by subconscious advertisements.

All the Kings Horses - Two Steps from Hell

I’ve always liked how the banjo kazooie games did it. Rather than being a hub world, they had a lot of stuff to do that it makes the “worlds” into sub-worlds

I remember making a mirror/disco ball back in the day with all AOL and other trash disks that would come in the mail or cereal boxes.

It’s incredible that I can still hear exactly how these sound.

Haha, that’s also accurate enough.

You are the only successful rescue party to land alive, you collect a random assortment of tools to go kill a man who got exiled because he threw worms in a hole.

Keep burning to death over and over again as you desperately try to gather knowledge of previous civilizations in order to save(?) the universe.

Mirror’s Edge. Love that game

Very nice list.

This just made me think that if this word prediction is personalized (I think it is), and we had enough of these paragraphs from a person, we could probably learn some things about them.

+1 for Planetes

And Mushishi too

Ooh, a new gamemode? Surprisingly fun sounding, if not for all the death

Ah, that makes a little more sense then. That’s a pretty rare and nonstandard configuration.

As others have said, in it’s current state, it can be useful in the early stages of anything you do, such as brainstorming. ChatGPT (I have most experience with) and other LLM excel at organizing, formating, explaining, etc the information of the internet. In almost all cases (at the moment) whatever they spit out needs to be fact checked and refined.

Just from personally dinking around with chatGPT a little, it does give you that “scarily good” feeling at first. You do start seeing it’s flaws after a while, and you get to learn that it’s quite fallible. The information it can spit out can be good for additional ideas and brainstorming.

What I want it do (and it might already, if not soon) is that I when I program something up and for the life of me can’t find the cause of some bug, just be able to give it my entire code and my problem and see what’s deal.
