He’s fleecing America with insider trading of Chipotle, McDonalds, Sherwin Williams and Home Depot.

Someone tipped him off to the new $3 McWrap deal before it went public


Doesn’t everyone want their own stratum 1 ntp server?

I was looking for a little project to play around with codex. I’ve seen this done with WiFi and usb powered before but I wanted something to easily tuck away in my network rack.

PoE powered stratum 1. us accuracy

I'm the dick move guy. Again, we're talking about a guy that's in his 40s and has a looong list of things to complete by the end of the month. He's letting a fricking throwaway python script get in the way of his progress. I offered help in private but after hearing him whine in public about it I solved his problem. He's old enough to know better and needs to embrace AI as tool rather than be hard headed. ChatGPT can look at a log file and create a regex to proces it in seconds. Don't waste time doing stupid shite.

Before you go calling me a dick again, know today (a saturday) he's on slack begging for help but got no responses. I jumped in an fixed a bunch of his roadblocks.

Now, back on topic....I bought a little waveshare esp32-s3 with a 1.5" display. Using codex in about 3 hours I had code reading data from another device via BLE, writing to a local SD card and presenting it via a web interface. It's quite remarkable how productive I can be. In the past this would have taken a while.

Because you didn’t buy the optional call waiting. It was the click notification of an incoming call that caused it to drop. It was also a feature that could be disabled by adding the right mojo to the modem command string.

You realize that AI can be subject matter experts and write good prompts too, right?


Yes, it can be, but it can also be full of shite. No Skynet yet.

Received an email from ChatGPT recently:

quote:

With your accounts connected, you can ask @Finances in ChatGPT to help you do things like: Understand what subscriptions you’re paying for and where you could cut. Track your net worth across accounts and spot trends in spending, saving, and investing. Compare credit card rewards based on your real spending patterns. Review investment allocations and identify potential overexposure. Plan around equity, bonuses, or irregular income. Prepare for financial advisor conversations by organizing goals, risks, and questions. You also get a Finances dashboard to give you a real-time view of your money. Your data stays secure and ChatGPT cannot make changes to your accounts.


I don’t think I would attach my account information but it’s an option

Great way to kill his confidence and teach him the wrong way to go about things IMO. He's actively trying to learn as a junior and you're telling him "nahhh... just use the magic answer box."


Junior to me, not inexperienced. The guy has been with the company over 10 years. Despite all that he insists on not changing with the times.

its insanity world right now. we have a MASSIVE dichotomy right now of what people are doing (legacy) vs knowing you can use a couple of prompts and a $20/mo AI account to do the same thing in minutes or hours.



I had a similar experience today when a junior level guy was talking on a call about code he was working on and said he needed a few more days. Before the call was over I handed him complete code and docs using my $20 month account

Subject matter experts that know how to write good prompts are going to rule the world.

According to the video she was spotted in his work parking lot 33 times over 19 days.

I thought she was fixable but after watching the video and seeing how dirty the inside of her car is I’m convinced she a psycho

This doesn’t appear to be true based on experiments done on the ISS. They do experience more correctable errors but the hardware doesn’t get “fried”
