    For me, it’s the fact that it can break down, say like making a Roux, into specfic steps that make it seem less daunting and then also be able to help you try and save it

    I say it's worth a shot, but that's also because I enjoy recklessly failing in cooking. Lots of laughter and love in those moments. But I am very weird. To each their own!

    I really try and refrain from posting on AI posts, because I do love AI but it is so hated and I try and take in the critique to moderate my usage.

    With recipes though? Recipes are amazing as an LLM use. It's absolutely a great way to find and alter recipes, especially when things inevitably don't work so well and you're in the middle of cooking, and then the pot starts boiling over and you can ask Gemini how to fix things. It's great. I appreciate it so much for cooking.

    Right? This isn’t 2023 anymore. The industry has established patterns to be able to use AI correctly. So that code doesn’t just become mush. Can it still? For sure. And the same code bases that would have otherwise been indecipherable and unscablable will still be as such. But those who look for best practices can use new best practices.

    Eh. Most EVs have things like regenerative brakes / one-pedal driving, and so even that you have to worry about less.

    You’re saying it as if there’s only one LLM. In a constantly evolving landscape, what did you try and when? What’s stopped you from trying again?

    Not awful but not great either. Doesn’t help that it’s James Franco who is absolutely cancelled. But art apart from artist, it’s a good interpretation of the book. But the book is a different beast

    I've been watching Battlebots lately in the mornings. It keeps me captivated while still being something I can have while my brain wakes up doing Wordle and catching up on the news via apps. It also has good enough stopping points where I can call it quits but there's so many seasons of it that's there's enough to watch for a long time.

    But you're probably asking more about like current events tv, and for that I'll occasionally watch The Daily Show, especially on Tuesdays, but lately world events are just so depressing that I'd rather not, and rather read news articles instead.

    It's still neat to watch Caleb Williams grow though. It's nice to see the Bears have a QB who is actually promising for the first time in ever.

    I've been playing Hades 2 so much recently. As someone whose wrists physically hurt from playing so much Hades 1, Hades 2 absolutely lives up to the hype. The gameplay is so good. It's just as addictive with even more variety of things to do. I've put too many hours into this game so far and I'm thoroughly pleased
