I would argue that they are the same thing.

Every prompt is hallucinations, it's fundamental to how the technology works.

One humorous one I found was whenever I did a typo looking for information on Microsoft's new dev drive or Resilient File System (ReFS), I put `demonstrate "Build, deploy, and develop faster by using an QeFS-based Dev Drive.`

and it will just go on about Microsoft's new Quantum-enhanced File System. You can continue to ask leading questions and it will keep going.

Sometimes you can switch out letters, if it doesn't do an online search it will do the same making up different technologies to fit.

I've found that when I attempt to automate some task via llm, I have to really focus, sit down, and think about exactly how I'm describing every detail. I have think about the wording and how I describe the concepts in such a way, where it takes more mental effort then just doing the thing.

It's even worse since the mindset of describing and writing in such a way is not within the same headspace as the technical portion, so by the end I'm only more tired from having to switch gears too much.

Just for level setting.

A huge amount of people who may be users of a platform such as Facebook are very likely able to watch a video generated using a technology such as this and not consider it possibly to be fraudulent.

Even if the content is somewhat strange or farfetched, these people, the majority of people are likely to not only "not notice" there's something off about the video, but believe what is being said.

They are unlikely to act on the information or regurgitate it unprovoked, but likely to just remember it as a small fact they have received in the past.

I didn't read this as a comparison against normal iPhone output

normal iPhone output is great looking just not "the look"

I prefer without a comparison of iPhones version.

I've done C# for a while and I really love what can be done with DI & reflection for cool cross cutting abilities.

I want to branch out to native stuff like C++ & Rust for memory management stuff, but they don't seem to come close in terms of the reflection abilities or probably the function is there, but just a nightmare to work with.

Anybody have any thoughts/opinions?

I just started using an old laptop I was going to sell for my kids to be able to just slam on the keys and get interested. It's got windows 10 and man I forgot how nice it was just to turn on the pc and get moving.

Not all this garbage. Windows 11 is such trash everywhere.

I was worried when I found that I didn't have winget, but just installing windows terminal installed it with it. That's pretty much all I need.

as per chatgpt

This joke is a clever play on words that merges elements of computer programming and coffee culture. Let's break it down:

    New startup sells coffee through SSH: SSH stands for Secure Shell, which is a network protocol that allows for secure communication between two computers. In this context, the joke suggests that this new startup is selling coffee through a secure connection, presumably online.

    Is it /usr/locally grown and single .'ed?: This part of the joke is a play on the directory structure in Unix-like operating systems, where /usr typically contains user-related programs and data. "Locally grown" suggests that the coffee is sourced locally, and "single .'ed" is a wordplay on "single origin," a term used in coffee culture to denote coffee that comes from a single geographic origin. The /usr/locally grown part humorously combines Unix directory structure with the concept of coffee sourcing.

    How quickly can they mv it to my ~?: Here, "mv" is a command in Unix systems used to move files or directories, and "~" represents the user's home directory. So, "mv it to my ~" is a playful way of asking how quickly they can deliver the coffee to the customer's home. It's also a pun on the idea of moving the coffee to the user's home directory.

does anyone know a I don't know module or extension for vim that jumps to a text based file browser.

one that I can navigate with keys up/down, enter to open that file or drill into that folder, backspace to go up a folder

maybe page up/down to flip through pages of files on the screen.

I used to work with iseries and I miss that workflow for editing files through cli
