Ditto, I have a year of Gemini Pro, and a year of Perplexity Pro for free, but after using Claude for a month I’ve come to realize that Gemini is a moron, and Perplexity is just as bad.

Claude isn’t heavily sanitized, Anthropic doesn’t delete old chats it views as sensitive.

But we still have to wait for a year after the console release. So they can make money off everyone who won’t get it for free

Bought a deep fryer a couple years back, once you’re done with it, and let it cool down. You can turn a knob and it will filter itself and empty into a storage container. Once the oil has gone bad, I have a Home Depot bucket with a lid that I dump it into, once that is full I take it to the dump. Once the filtered bits are dumped in the compost, everything else goes in the dishwasher.

I fry in peanut oil, I have 2 air fryers but some things need to be deep fried.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to do either. I’m a big iron sysadmin but I’m old now, so I’m mostly relegated to management. We have young guys who do all the cloud and virtualization crap and they make me look like the dinosaur that I am.

But like many companies we had AI forced on us, so when I didn’t know what filesystem to use on my array I asked Claude. Claude knows everything about unRaid. Every roadblock I hit was answered so thoroughly I hit my usage limit and had to make a note on my profile that Claude was not to make documentation unless I damn well asked for it.

I know AI is not a popular topic but it’s honestly made my life better. I’ve been running Linux since forever but still when an update breaks Arch, and reverting to a snapshot doesn’t fix it. I usually just reinstall. Now I don’t have to feel stupid asking younger guys how to fix an issue. I just type the issue into Claude, drop into TTY and I have all the info needed to fix it within minutes.

Just yesterday one of my coworkers calls me up and says Santa was good to him and gives me a Radeon that was leaps ahead of what I was running so I checked the CachyOS wiki, thought I was prepared to switch from Nvidia to Radeon and the second the switch was made everything went to shit. Claude to the rescue with all the commands to purge my system of nividia garbage and reinstall the Radeon versions. He also ran me through adding my old nividia card to unraid so I can use it for my vm’s.

My wife finally took a look at our finances and she’s like what’s this charge? I say it’s my seedbox. She walks over to my office, points at all my servers I nabbed from work and asks why I’m not running it myself. Laziness mostly. Bought unraid and I honestly don’t know how I didn’t use this years ago

It’s called a thorn, and as for why: I’d really like to know as well, considering it fell out of use in the 1500’s

I, as a sane person enjoyed watching the game being 100%'d by someone else.

Some people have extensive libraries there. I have over 1k books, and probably half that in audiobooks. I do have them all DeDRM’d but still it would be an annoying loss

I had the pills, but I take so many pills I usually forget. Switched to the gummies and they were much easier l don’t buy the metamucil ones, they taste great but are way overpriced. One day I woke up in the middle of the night and was peckish, and had a bunch. Ohhhh boy did I pay for that mistake.

The longer the project the more stupid Claude gets. I’ve seen it both in chat, and in Claude code, and Claude explains the situation quite well:

Increased cognitive load: Longer projects have more state to track - more files, more interconnected components, more conventions established earlier. Each decision I make needs to consider all of this, and the probability of overlooking something increases with complexity.

Git specifically: For git operations, the problem is even worse because git state is highly sequential - each operation depends on the exact current state of the repository. If I lose track of what branch we’re on, what’s been committed, or what files exist, I’ll give incorrect commands.

Anything I do with Claude. I will split into different chats, I won’t give it access to git but I will provide it an updated repository via Repomix. I get much better results because of that.

I think it really depends on the user and how you communicate with the AI. People are different, and we communicate differently. But if you’re precise and you tell it what you want, and what your expected result should be it’s pretty good at filling in the blanks.

I can pull really useful code out of Claude, but ask me to think up a prompt to feed into Gemini for video creation and they look like shit.

Having used both Gemini and Claude… I use Gemini when I need to quickly find something I don’t want to waste time searching for, or I need a recipe found and then modified to fit what I have on hand.

Everytime I used Gemini for coding has ended in failure. It constantly forgets things, forgets what version of a package you’re using so it tells you to do something that is deprecated, it was hell. I had to hold its hand the entire time and talk to it like it’s a stupid child.

Claude just works. I use Claude for so many things both chat and API. I didn’t care for AI until I tried Claude. There’s a whole whack of novels by a Russian author I like but they stopped translating the series. Claude vibe coded an app to read the Russian ebooks, translate them by chapter in a way that prevented context bleed. I can read any book in any language for about $2.50 in API tokens.

I don’t know how that happens, I regularly use Claude code and it’s constantly reminding me to push to git.

YouTube made changes, and the YouTube reps who deal with creators have given them marching orders that they need to follow or else no money. Every one of the creators I sub has dedicated a video to how things have to be now, and they know we hate it, and they hate it. But there’s nothing they can do because YouTube is their source of income.

Centerfire ammo needs a strong precise hit to the primer to set it off, I think that’s statistically unlikely for a loose object like a screw or a zipper to set that off.

Rimfire ammo has the primer inside the rim of the base. I suppose it could be possible for a heavy tumble against a sharp metal ridge in the drum being enough to discharge the round.

Maybe a really hot commercial dryer, but nothing at home or coin operated is likely to set a bullet off. Most dryers operate at under 200F, smokeless powder ignites at 300-350F. Also when not in the confines of a barrel they generally just pop as explained in this video:

Oh my god, this gave me flashbacks to French class in the 90s.

Not a Nazi salute, it’s called a benediction. Once only performed by “Charismatic Christians” it’s become more mainstream nowadays. Usually they’ll wave from side to side. In person you wouldn’t mistake it for a Nazi salute, it’s just a bad picture.

I updated my Cachy install last night and some packages needed to compile… It wouldn’t end, I wanted to go to bed. It just kept compiling. Which tells me I will never try Gentoo
