Well, here we go! An absolutely fascinating year for the Flames, and I can't help but wonder what kind of team we're going to see.

Discuss.

 

Devastating news from the Snow family

 

The 21st captain in franchise history is Mikael Backlund!

Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

...Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh... What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No.....well, this is odd.

The article is in Swedish, so you'll have to use translate if you don't understand Swedish. But the video has English subtitles. Both the article and the video are worth a look.

Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.

Yup, exactly what I experienced too.

Thumbs up! I like it.

As a brand new user of ChatGPT, I have never been so incredibly impressed and rage-inducing frustrated at exactly the same time with any new tech I've ever tried.

I was using it to help create some simple javascript functions and debug some code. It could come up with working functions almost immediately that took a really interesting approach that I wouldn't have thought of. "Boom," I thought, "this is great! Let's keep going!" Then, immediately afterwards, it would provide absolute shit that couldn't and wouldn't work at all. It couldn't remember the very code it just outputted to me on multiple occasions, and when asked to make a few minor changes it constantly spouted brand new very different functions, usually omitting half the functionality it had before. But, when the code was directly typed in by me in a message, every time, it did much better.

Seems with every question like that I had to start from scratch every time, or else it would work from clearly wrong (not even close, usually) newly generated, code. For example, if I asked it to print exactly the same function it printed a moment ago, it would excitedly proclaim, "Of course! Here's the exact same function!" and then print a completely different function.

I spent so much time carefully wording my question to get it to correctly help me debug something that I ended up finding the bug myself, just because I was being so careful in examining my code so I could ask it a question that would give me a relevant answer. So....I guess that's a win? Lol. Then, just for fun, I told ChatGPT that I had found and corrected the bug, and it took responsibility for the fix.

And yet, when it does get it right, it's really quite impressive.

As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

Yeah, the Stamps are flat again. Lots of little mistakes, lots of not being in quite the right place at the right time.

The last game in this week's schedule is going to start shortly. Two teams both looking to improve their sub 500 records and get some momentum going. Shawn Lemon, of course, gets his first start as an Allouette. He previously played for Calgary and, I think, about 32 other CFL teams, or something like that.

When I was a kid we had a television that used an ultrasonic remote. Not quite like this one though, ours did use batteries. But, similarly, it was dead simple with only three buttons. One for on/off volume (each time you clicked it the TV would reduce in volume with three distinct settings, then the fourth click would turn the TV off) and the other two for 'channel up' and 'channel down'. The TV's mechanical tuner would very audibly 'chunk, chunk, chunk' up or down each time you hit the button.

And yes, our dog hated it as he could hear the ultrasonic signal, and yes, jangling keys near the TV could cause it change volume, turn off or on, or the channel to change.

After bribery and threats, @streetfestival has grudgingly acquiesced to help out with moderating here, especially with regards to the weekly threads and game threads.

A warm welcome to /u/streetfestival!

 

Having some interesting articles relevant to the CFL and other 3 down football is awesome, but not when the community is still small but growing. Those posts seem to take over, as there's at least two or three every day, and so that's all that ends being on the main page in the community. So, I may manually post some of the more interesting articles from that feed, but for now the rest of them are going to stop. Obviously, community members are encouraged to give any and all feedback on this and other matters.

 
 
 

I've seen this done in almost every combination imaginable, and would like to know what the 'correct' way to do this is. I've seen the building marked as 'retail' with a point at the pumps for 'gas station' and a point in the building for 'convenience store', I've seen the building itself marked as one with a point added for the other, I've seen the pumps area marked as the gas station and the building marked as the convenience store, and on and on.

What's the recommended way to do this?

 

I'm glad to see this community pop up here. While I don't live there, I have family in the Koots and spend considerable time there every year near Slocan. Absolutely beautiful country, and wonderful people around there!!
