Things have changed. One person lost a green card because they got a "too many fish" citation while not fishing, but being with a group of people who were fishing.

One student had their visa revoked by the US because they were the victim of domestic violence. It's batshit insane what they current administration is doing.

You know, if we made individual cars larger so they could hold more people or cargo, this idea could get really efficient!

Did some politicians hold up signs while the Nazis laid out a fascist plan in a government meeting? That'll stop em!

Every time the Republicans get control of the government they fuck over my current career trajectory. They'd been nothing but harmful to me and my family for three decades now.

Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)

I'm sure Putin has someone we can outsource the work to instead of directly hiring one of his people.

Thank you. It's been a goal of ours for a long time, but current events have accelerated things.

It's interesting times for everyone these days, so stay safe out there.

Thank you, and stay safe too. Yet more interesting times ahead for us all.

My German Visa was just approved. Off to a university asap. We take two STEM professors with kids going into engineering as a group out of the US. I have a feeling we're just the leading edge of the sluice gates opening.

That's an impressive display of marketing prowess. You'll never forget it, regardless of how stupid it was.

I like to talk about this in my CS classes. We get compiles to compile code by compiling a compiler with a compiler. It's an infinite regression problem that terminates with someone writing a compiler in assembly... Which requires an assembler to assemble... So you write an assembler in machine code directly on the processor.

If we lost all of the currently compiled programs one day, even with the compiler source code in hand, it would be some serious work to rebuild our current tool chains.

Climate Town drops a new video on the NY City congestion charge and how cars are being handled in the city.

 

Washington State Department of Transportation is starting to realize that we cannot afford to maintain the sheer volume of roads we build. The maintenance debt that we have built up is bankrupting our governments and it's only going to get worse year by year.

Civilization itself cannot afford to have so many car oriented roads long term.

The more car trips taken, regardless of how safe you try to make things, or how much you try to educate drivers, or how many 'be careful' street signs you put up, will always increase the chances of a crash.

 

What I'm looking for is some kind of desktop tool that uses the OpenAI GPT web endpoint. I'd like something where I'm able to upload one or more documents (text files) and then include them as part of the conversation/query.

I have access to the GPT-4 API and I've been writing Python3 code against it for some various applications. I can see how I'd write a tool that takes in one or more documents to include in the total prompt history, but I'm hoping to not have to write it myself, mostly due to time constraints.

Is there some kind of application that has a similar feature set to this that I should look at? Or, is there a wiki/site that lists off the current tools available that I could look over?

 

I'm enjoying the wefwef feel, but I have a question about copy/paste with comment text: is it even possible?

When I click on a given comment it collapses. When I click and drag it swipes. Is it possible in the web browser (desktop) to highlight a comment's text at all? It's not rare that I want to copy/paste some text, especially Lemmy links lately, to search/work with them. I'll also want to copy/paste quotes or other material on occasion.

So: what's the trick or instructions, if they exist, to be able to copy/paste text in wefwef?

 

Given that it's June, my suggested book to read is "Monstrous Regiment" by Terry Pratchett. Yet another wonderful work by one of the best authors in the history of humanity.
