I’ve recently been getting into programming for work. Which of course has got me trying to learn more about AI. I’m still a super amateur. I started with bing AI cause that free gpt4 access and bypassing the 4k character limit by telling bing not to reply until I’m done. Now I’m primarily using free plan of phind and its vscode extension. Which I really like. I don’t use the buttons that write code as I always write code myself and rarely copy paste. Helps me learn. I just like that it’s quicker without crazy character limits.

I did recently see that you can pay for bing AI in VS code. Then it got me thinking if I’m gonna pay then I want to make sure it is for something good and prob not Microsoft. So considering paying for phind but now I am trying to look into what others are doing. There’s a world of products I’ve never heard of like hugging face. So I guess it’s time to start my journey on finding which one works best for me. I’ve recently degoogled myself so haven’t really touched bard but if Gemini proves worth it I may.

Just rambling thoughts from a self taught noob programmer.

Yeah it annoyed me that you have to use google contacts

It’s been out for a long time with limited access and nothing yet. Maybe Apple will change their mind toward it when it’s being used by a large group of people finally. Hopefully not.

Edit: I was wrong. See below.

I don’t think they implied that they would switch to Apple. They just want off android so bad they can’t wait for the new Linux mobile OS

My old psychiatrist did exactly this. They said it’s due to the weed use. I got a new psychiatrist and he’s much better.

From what I have read regarding RCS it seems you are not wrong. I also read the tech it’s based on is ancient.

It does look like the prices changed recently. I have 2 houses currently with similar plans. My currently living in house is using the Xfinity modem and costs $25 /m but I guess that’s the modem and the unlimited so not too bad.

My other house has my own network system and not using any Comcast hardware and that one is $30/m.

The bad part for me was until recently they refused to give me unlimited (when it cost $50) and I wasn’t able to get it for a while. It just wouldn’t go through. I got my fair share of overage charges cause of it. I’m sure if I spent enough time bitching at support I could get something from it but I don’t have it in me to do that lol

Comcast has been doing this for over a decade I believe. By default their routers advertise a hotspot exclusive to other Comcast subscribers. Not sure the security behind it since it’s not technically a password just authenticate via your Comcast account. But I agree it is crazy lol I had a similar reaction when I first found out.

Yeah states with Comcast caps you at 1.2TB unless you pay $50 for the unlimited plan, which I don’t think is even offered everywhere. They discount it to $30 if you use their modem.

So true. I am happy I met my SO on tinder. Doing that data chart to see the numbers of my using tinder vs the only match who I went on a date with. The numbers are not in our favor. Now didn’t they release a 500/m plan? It is crazy. I know how lucky I got.

Then I always have to do it over again reminding myself not to skip the middle part.

Yay for ublocks annoyance pop up blocker. No more cookie pop ups

Why is it creepy? Apple is trying to do this with iOS too. I’d love to not need to care my ID now that I barely even need a wallet anymore. Though now that I started using sling backpacks I am back to carrying a wallet more often lol

Difference between just being able to do it vs having to plot out our whole day by the hour. Similar to other neurodivergent traits. Very similar to neurotypical but that it makes it so much harder for the neurodivergent

Plotting out every minute, getting super stressed when one thing happens forcing you t change this detailed plan for your day which then ruins your whole day. Not being able to do anything else productive while in “waiting mode”. This is prob more adhd but prob has an overlap with autism like many others.

I wish I could. In a situation where I’m basically paying for 2 houses on top of my family.

Im so scared to get a layoff. I have no college experience but have been at my job for 7 years + 5 years at my prior tech job. and now I get to do consulting and coding I love my job. We’re also a new team (specific for API projects) and if we can’t prove our worth quickly I see layoffs in my future. I have no idea what I’ll do if that happens.

I wish you the best of luck with finding something. It’s even harder with some of these big companies dropping work from home. My current job is 100% remote

Huh. I don’t see it in the article either lol

The picture from the linked article is a keyboard with wrenches on it lol
