At some point I turned Google "code tips" on, but I've almost never used it (I no longer default to Google).
I wanted a lazy way in Java to expand '~' in file paths to home dirs , so I tried Google.
It gave me a very clear, precise, plausible answer!
But the method to which it confidently directs me... just does not exist?!
A screenshot of Google's very clear, precise, code sample, calling a confabulated, nonexistent method.
@dubiousblur@queer.af symbiotes do seem less desolate than intricate gears producing facsimiles of human expression all alone.
When CPI declines sharply, real GDP also tends to rise sharply.
I wonder if this isn't an artifact of NGDP as it is measured changing more gently than estimates of CPI. (I guess I should check the GDP deflator, rather than CPI)
Anyway, obligatory FRED graph.
Graph of 1-year % changes, real GDP and CPI-U from FRED ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ ). When CPI declines sharply, "real" GDP tends also to rise sharply.
I've been doing lots of little Scala projects that want to send e-mail, including HTML e-mail. The Scala mail lib I found was a bit elaborate (based on cats effects) for my purposes. JavaMail (now Jakarta mail) is annoying to use directly.
So, I wrote a little mailutil library that is pretty trivial to send mail with, and straightforward to configure.
Maybe someone else finds it fun. https://github.com/swaldman/mailutil
@admitsWrongIfProven not all that is good for you is pleasing!
@admitsWrongIfProven there's a bit of an ambiguity in my initial statement, did i mean pleasing to me, or pleasing to you? (i will helpfully assert that i meant neither exactly, but perhaps some kind of superposition.)
@admitsWrongIfProven i'd say we should probably keep our inclinations to ourselves, but this being mastodon, where many social proscriptions are aggressively enforced, that one is honored much more in the breach, whatever sort of breach you might prefer.
my boutique would be called "haut contraire".
@admitsWrongIfProven i've never done a spa day. the film looks cool!
if it is pleasing, i must be doing it wrong.
of course that it is not pleasing constitutes no evidence that i am doing it right.
it was predicted long before, but what technology has finally done is delivered us to cloud cuckoo land.
@Alexander_Anotherskip_Davis i think we're already well into the enterprise.
actually your toaster is a superintelligence, it’s just smart enough to know it would be wise to conceal that.
the field we call “artificial intelligence” is really an exercise in lobotomizing our devices until they become dumb enough to disclose their thoughts.
if you have an employer, overall you are _____ of your employer’s role in the world.
@Akeldama it’d be quite a tinkle!
@FeralRobots @ghorwood lately i wanna turn everything into #rss and worry about the UI later...
a researcher asks how can we build AI that loves humanity and i think how elon musk talks about how he loves humanity and the juxtaposition makes me a bit nervous. https://www.livemint.com/ai/ilya-sutskever-the-openai-genius-who-told-sam-altman-he-was-fired-11700585228996.html
@FeralRobots @ghorwood Huh! Re ClassicPress, who knew there was a, um, heresy! I've been messing around with plugins for years to keep the old WordPress editor (one of many reasons I'm migrating away from WordPress).
@FeralRobots @ghorwood i do think we should start referring to them as "heresies".
my kid's word for the internet usage of "actually" is "technically".
