    So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.

    We’ve got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I’m going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell

    Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, when I finally got around to it… ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like…

    I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!

      I’ve tinkered with using AI to help with code and it’s one area I’d trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it’s harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you’re somewhat familiar with the language and you’re trying to fix a specific problem.

      I’m pretty ignorant of the details but it’s my general experience that GIGO applies

      sounds to me like you’re very skilled and knowledgeable and can use tools well

      i would be totes clueless

    Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.

    I do not.

    Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.

      That’s the thing I like about living in the suburbs. There’s a man a few streets away who has filled his garden with beautiful wildflowers and every time I pass it, it makes me happy :)

    Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.

    I just ate a big bowl of super crunchy chips from the air fryer, oh they were so good, haven’t had them for ages.

    I’m watching Underbelly for the first time since it “aired” and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.

      I liked when they fought for the gun like two brothers fighting for a remote. Just both grab it and wriggle.

    I’ve changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.

    It’s mind blowing.

    Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.

    Unreal.

    I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.

    Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i’m at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah

    Doctor problems.

    Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn’t let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).

    Absolutely pointless waste of time.

        It’s so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn’t want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I’m so interested to hear what the defence will say.

      And saying she didn’t have a food dehydrator when she’d been showing pics of it on Facebook and talking about how she used it to dry mushrooms.

        And her phone ping in locations that deathcaps grow, but she says she doesn’t forage for mushrooms. And she served her own meal to herself on a different coloured plate to the others. So many coincidences!

    I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.

    there is nothing more frustrating than watching a parcel you fucking well know could have been delivered TODAY if they hadn’t been a lazy shit head back across the other side of the state

    Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.
