I’m pretty sure it’s British for ‘trash can’?

The one in the thumbnail has a gap
I think one sentence makes it hit less hard. It’s more surprising with two sentences, and the “sly eyes” and the paragraph break help with it.
I think they did the opposite, pointed out what it was and that it is harmless.
A piece of paper with some foil isn’t going to cause a spark. I’m directly refuting your claim that you would get fired for it because it “caused a panic”. You’re just making shit up.
my wife works in midstream. you’re not getting fired for that. sorry.

So it probably couldn’t actually access the URL and just pulled from its training.
tyler@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•Here’s how I use LLMs to help me write code | Simon Willison14·2 days agoI’ve almost completely stopped using them, unless I’m stuck at a dead end. In the end all they have done is slow me down and make me unable to think properly anymore. They usually write way too much code, especially with tab complete stuff, resulting in me needing to delete code after hitting tab (what’s the point even, intellisense has always been really good and now it’s somehow worse). They’re usually wrong unless prompted multiple times. People say you can use them to generate boilerplate, but just use a language with less or no boilerplate like Kotlin. There’s usually very subtle bugs they introduce or they’re solving a problem that is simply documented on stack overflow, while I wouldn’t be using an LLM if I could just kagi it, so they solve the wrong thing.
One thing it’s decent for, if you don’t care about code quality, is converting code to a language you do not know. You’re not going to end up with good idiomatic code at the end, but it will probably function.
None of this is to say that the LLMs aren’t amazing, but if you start to depend on them you very very quickly realize that your ability to solve more complex problems will atrophy. And then when you get to a difficult problem you now waste much more time trying to solve a problem that might have been simpler for past you.
The response is about you saying it wouldn’t be allowed in an o&g facility.

They’re saying some fake cigarettes don’t have batteries at all. Someone below mentions one with orange foil at the end to make it look like it’s glowing.
I have no clue. I’ve never bothered to ask lol. They don’t really use their phone very much.
But yeah thermal paste just isn’t conductive and the pressure supplied to the pins is high enough to still get contact.
tyler@programming.devto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In a few years, new smartphones will be as big and heavy as the first cell phones.1·3 days agoIt’s not a consumer decision. Women’s clothes are often created very cheaply. Adding pockets costs money. Therefore cheap (see slimmer clothes) are created without pockets, even if women would wear them with pockets. Your own explanation actually agrees with that by stating it’s tied to the looseness of the pants. You can’t get the look on baggy pants without actually putting the pockets there. If they could they would.
tyler@programming.devto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In a few years, new smartphones will be as big and heavy as the first cell phones.3·3 days agoYou’re right, it is basic economics. Just not in the way stated. Adding pockets costs money. Women’s clothes are often created incredibly cheaply. It has nothing to do with women not wanting pockets.
So you see that big ole thing at the top that says “opinion”? That means you should be a little more wary of what you’re reading. Clicking through to the Twitter “source” it says Netanyahu tanked the negotiations, not that Biden wasn’t pressuring Israel.
tyler@programming.devto Automotive Industry•Waymo Issues ‘Recall’ On Robotaxis, But That’s The Wrong WordEnglish3·3 days agoRecall is 100% the right word. Forbes trying to let Tesla and other operators off of the hook. Recall means you tested on involuntary humans and something bad could have happened.
I recently learned of Alfred Hugenberg and recommend learning about him and how what is currently happening in the US (and other countries) is almost to the letter exactly what happened when the Nazis came to power.
The podcast I learned about him from was Behind the Bastards, but I’m sure there’s plenty of sources.
