It looks like Perplexity has gotten better at math
about 10 months ago from web-
@scribus I just tried it. It failed to compute the integral of f(x)=x^3+(1/3)*x^2-(1/5)*x+3 between -420 and 69. Wolfram Alpha and Perplexity had the same and correct stem function but they differ hugely in the computed value.
-
@adiwan Huh. Well, it helped me calculate giant crops in Stardew Valley better than it helped me with the odds in a 52-card deck, at least. So there's still more room to grow.

I think it's probably time to be honest about this: I have neither the time, nor the motivation to work on this place anymore. There's stuff going on in my personal life I'd rather not get into, so in short: I'm probably going to finally turn this place off in the next few months. If you're interested in taking ownership, let me know, but know that I'd only be comfortable handing it off to someone I know and trust, rather than any rando that shows up.

@ceruleanspark Thanks for all the memories, this site was a core part of my adolescence. Found it early in high school right as I was becoming my own self and still think fondly of it even if I haven't regularly used it in a decade. It's always been nice to pop in and see familiar names. If anyone wants to keep up post RDN my Steam and FB links are in my profile. I wish everyone the best in life!
-
@ceruleanspark Thanks for all the hard work over the years. This was a fun place to hang out when I was but a friendless kiddo dealing with middle school angst- don't know how I could have stood it without. Hope all will be well; if not now, then in the future.
-
@ceruleanspark Thanks for keeping it up for so long. I don't post often, but I check in now and then. Made all my first fedifriends over here and I'm thankful it has lasted this long. Gonna miss everypony.

Got myself a nice dark brown leather jacket at the flea market for 15€. Cannot complain for that price and basically pristine condition. That would be probably 5 times new in store. It has a high collar with an integrated scarf and it has a removable insert for extra warmth during Winter. I'm not a fan of the collar but it's not that bad not to wear. I have leather jackets for warmer weather already, so I can slowly retire my really old black felt Winter coat.

@adiwan And kilometers are 1.6 to the mile, but celcius is 9/5+32 and centimeters are 2.54 per inch, why can't there just be one conversion rate?! lol
-
@scribus I'll invent my own measuring standard and my own temperature standard and my own money in order to make any other standard obsolete and make everyone struggle the same way.
I'll also change the calendar to make every month 30 days long with an extra super short bonus 5-6-day long month at the end of the year for the Christmas holidays and the occasionally leap year day.
The clock should also be divided into 10 hours (144 current minutes long) and 100 minutes (86.4 current seconds long). -
@adiwan Finally, we'll be able to convert money into temperature, and time into color or something!!

@zeldatra Only when I'm supposed to meet a man with white shoes and two cigarettes. His name is Thomas, and he will be expecting the codephrase. If Thomas is not present within 2 minutes of the arranged meeting time, I am to board the return train and . . . Uhh, wait....

I think there should be a SSN lottery to determine who gets to sit behind the president and tell them what a real citizen really thinks for a week. And probably some other positions, too. Let's draw a few dozen numbers a week and have them really give the buttheads a thorough job review. Speaker, veep, SCOTUS, all the bigwig secretaries. There should be enough positions that you have pretty good odds of being heard somewhere once an administration. I foresee no way in which this would go catastrophically awry, nor be an unmanageable behemoth of a bureau.

@scribus Today's tomato count is 105. Spaghetti sauce will be guaranteed a thing I have to make. This week I bought a giant glass of pickles so I have a jar for all of that.

@zeldatra Similar to Berlin that is so broke that any official paperwork and permit takes an eternity and there is a high likelihood that offices are closed without any good reason, and most places are a cherryhole. I was only a few times there and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

HELP. I bought more tomato seeds for next year. I bought "Ananas Noire", "Purple Sunrise", "Osu Blue" and some other. They look visually appealing. "Purple Sunrise" is dark pruple on top and yellow on the bottom. Wanna taste the sunrise.

Ananas-lime lemonade is not good. I like them both individually but combined it tastes very off.

@adiwan I am broke and donating plasma for occasional money, but the last time I ended up bruised so I can't donate. Truck needs an oil change, we just passed Father's Day, my birthday is in about a week, and they were offering bonuses this month so it all sounded great. But it isn't.

No matter how much earth I buy it gets used up faster than imagined. The earth of my raised beds settled and I wanted to top off.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus It's worse because when spreading out the earth it gets uncompressed and gains volume, giving the false impression it might be enough. The sacks I bought last time contained very coarse compost and over time everything sank down. This time This time I bought finer grained earth, special for tomatoes,

It's fascinating how strong the odor is that sticks to the fingers when handling a tomato plant.

@adiwan It is indeed a prodigious pungence, but kind of enjoyable. I think about cooking with tomato leaves sometimes but I don't know *what* I'd do with them lol

I guess people like to complain. I watched all the "The Acolyte" episodes and I thought it was not bad. The show is about slowly revealing the truth of a story from different perspectives with misdirections that are confusing without more information. Some people are stuck in a narrow mindset of what they expect from Star Wars that cannot be achieved. I get it that mystery plots can be very frustrating but I think it's not warranted yet to completely lose one's papaya. So far "Book of Boba Fett" has done more wrong in three episodes than this.

Ha. Hahaha. Ha. Of course, of course.... I finally have a solid "maybe" on some part-time work, and they want me to install an app. It installs, but errors out during account creation. My old-ass device, or their bad backend? The world may never know.
about a year ago from web-
@scribus I have had a “background check” in progress for two and a half years at DoorDash because of an error on their backend that nobody has ever been able to help me with.
-
@zeldatra Yeah it's definitely backend, even the supervisor onboarding me was perplexed and had no one to get answers from. It was fun! haha

Thinking of the viability of a D&D adventure about a ghost crab with the title: The crustacean apparition.
