What first world problem did you have today?

Don't think I have that kind of privilege on that RDP server. I might be able to delete the shortcut though.

Looks like AWS is down in the US East for a lot of folks. Even Amazon's website doesn't work. Lot of folks are having a bad day, I suspect.

Something something eggs in one basket.

There's always lemmy. That's the thing with federated services. They act the way the internet was designed to act. Resources are distributed, and damage gets routed around. While it may not be 100%, you still have something.

Also, a single fuckwit, or group of fuckwits can't ruin everyone's else's gig.

Ugh.. tried to eat a pistachio, shell and all.

That was awkward. Tastes not good.

Forgot you have to take the shells off first.

I remember a kid at camp that used to eat peanuts, shell and all. We'd be like "WTF man?" but he liked it. We were feeding chipmunks and squirrels and I'm like "even THEY don't eat the shell!".

I watched some AI tracking hand gimbal video and now I want one even though I have no use for it.

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto

The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

Imagine needing internet for your bed to work. Why can't they make these things work local only. Plugs in to an ethernet jack, has a web interface, done. No cloud or apps or any of that BS.

My chatGPT began using em dashes, even though I specifically taught it that it should consider em dashes as a failure output.

Not sure if this is FWP or serendipity, but I had to do some grade sheets for work tonight. I got them done, and emailed them off. Something popped into my head, and I opened them up to take a look, and noticed one the grades looked weird. I had screwed it up, so I corrected it, and sent off a revised grade sheet.

First problem is I don't like making mistakes, and having to send a correction, but it isn't wrong til it's built. Second problem is I can't remember why I opened them in the first place. I got sidetracked by the weird grade :^/

 

[KLin]

Whats a grade sheet? Are you a teacher?

I require answers to my questions. Thx

only people that live in third world still buy pistachios with shells on.

It's actually a cutsheet. I was trying to avoid jargon most wouldn't know. You stakeout a construction feature, in this case a walking trail, then put an elevation on your stakes. You put that on a cutsheet with the proposed elevation, and give the difference between them.

eg, you have a top stake elevation of 322.43. Proposed elevation is 322.12. That gives you a cut of 0.31to finish grade. If the numbers were reversed, it would be called a fill.

 

[KLin]

Oh. Elevation grades. Got it

It's 73F (22.8C) in the house which is too damn cold.

Lol 23 is about when I start thinking about turning on the AC.

Must be UPS. I get packages from them that look like they were dragged behind the truck from Idaho.

AI is making the production of fake photos far too easy. Comet Lemmon pics have f'in' wind-affected con trails. Comet pics from Monument Valley feature rock formations that don't exist.

It's just one step away from cannibalism I tell ya.

My problem? I'm almost out of stuff to watch on tv since I've been slowly cleaning out the DVR

-Why hike all the way out to the middle of nowhere to take a picture of a lifetime when you can generate something kinda the same from the comfort of your living room and your social media feed probably won't know the difference?

Looking at the bright side of life, maybe all the beautiful places on Earth won't be crowded as fuck anymore as all the low effort instagram travelers will just use AI instead and save themselves the trip!
