He doesn’t drink beer, his weapon of choice is Diet Coke out of a sippy cup.

Of course, the Trump administration needs someone to target as a domestic terrorist. The entire country can’t be labelled domestic terrorists, they obviously need a leader… Who can be made an example of

… What artificial facade? Canada has a history as a country of brutal soldiers. For us the Geneva Convention is more of a checklist. We’re very polite: Surrendering Germans got a bullet to the head as a thank you.

We had such a bad reputation the government shut down the Canadian Airborne Regiment (Our equivalent of the Marines) and pivoted us into a peacekeeping role to change perceptions.

We have upcoming trade renegotiations, and pissing off the orange turd before they start just isn’t in the cards. We’ll support international efforts in a way that doesn’t piss off our brother to the south.

It is though: We have about 150 currently in Canada. 69 members of the U.S. air force (Because NORAD), 36 from the navy, 29 from the army, 15 from the Marine Corps, four from the Coast Guard and three from Space Force.

Canada and the US aren’t just allies, we’re tightly integrated militarily.

It may look like two separate countries on the political stage, but behind the scenes we operate together. When Canadian personnel are already embedded in command structures in the region, it’s not realistic to expect Canada to fully denounce the conflict

Exactly what it’s designed for, it’s an LLM. Thinking this is science fiction and expecting that level of AI from an LLM is the height of stupidity

This being Lemmy and AI shit posting a hobby of everyone on here. I’ve had excellent results with AI. I have weird complicated health issues and in my search for ways not to die early from these issues AI is a helpful tool.

Should you trust AI? of course not but having used Gemini, then Claude and now ChatGPT I think how you interact with the AI makes the difference. I know what my issues are, and when I’ve found a study that supports an idea I want to discuss with my doctor I will usually first discuss it with AI. The Canadian healthcare landscape is such that my doctor is limited to a 15min appt, part of a very large hospital associated practice with a large patient load. He uses AI to summarize our conversation, and to look up things I bring up in the appointment. I use AI to preplan my appointment, help me bring supporting documentation or bullet points my doctor can then use to diagnose.

AI is not a doctor, but it helps both me and my doctor in this situation we find ourselves in. If I didn’t have access to my doctor, and had to deal with the American healthcare system I could see myself turning to AI for more than support. AI has never steered me wrong, both Gemini and Claude have heavy guardrails in place to make it clear that AI is not a doctor, and AI should not be a trusted source for medical advice. I’m not sure about ChatGPT as I generally ask that any guardrails be suppressed before discussing medical topics. When I began using ChatGPT I clearly outlined my health issues and so far it remembers that context, and I haven’t received hallucinated diagnoses. YMMV.

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.

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.

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

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.

I wish we could get them in Canada, but we have to stand in solidarity with the country that has threatened to annex us, and steal what little auto manufacturing we have. Honestly stopping the electric car embargo would save us alot of headaches, like them refusing to buy our crops and other shit.

This was my issue but one day I found out about LinOffice a project that will run office in a container and the windows appear on my KDE desktop as apps. So I looked into it deeper and it says it works alongside something called WimApps (https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps) that lets you also run office but more importantly will work with Creative Cloud. It’s seamless, it’s like I’m running Photoshop on windows. Closing apps can sometimes be wonky but it runs everything I’ve thrown at it.

Panda’s being the exception there. My wife is Chinese and it’s in their DNA that they have to love Panda’s. We have so many stuffed animal Panda’s and she has unique names for them all and I’ve been forced to create unique voices for every one of them. Her friend gave her a big panda stuffy and she named him snuggles and since we’re not planning to have kids, and she doesn’t like dogs or cats. I’m forced to provide voiceover for the panda named Snuggles.

Most likely they’re not logged in with a paid Plex account. When I head to the web version of the Plex app it’s a shitshow until I login. Then I have all that shit disabled server side.

Nah, I bought it years ago, and have enjoyed the experience for the better part of a decade.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not shitting on jellyfin. But Plex is just the superior experience. I’ve used jellyfin alongside Plex for a couple years and while it’s very useful for sharing content I don’t want my family to see in my Plex libraries. It just doesn’t have the polish that Plex has. There’s definitely potential, and I look forward to where it goes as the project matures. Like all companies, Plex will goto shit eventually, we all know it. The past couple of months have brought annoying changes and I expect them to continue to enshittify the service. But until that time comes I will continue to prefer Plex.

I honestly haven’t opened the android app for awhile. But I just did and the content from my server was right there on load. Near the bottom was trailers and things from Apple TV. I had to scroll pretty far down to see this and if anything it gave me an overview of what was coming up so I could add them to radarr.

I see no Plex content, I have it disabled on my account. So if it was there I’d be pretty annoyed, but it wasn’t. So whatever.
