  • OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT

  • I can't think of a single thing I would trust chat gpt with, especially when it come to my kids.

    I'm trying to rationalize what you could even ask it that's not a single Google search away with a forum or blog post written by (hopefully) human fucking beans who have gone through the same thing you're experiencing and figured it out.

    For every parenting question you have there's 100 different answers, at least 20 of them are reasonable, pick one of those 20 and figure it out.

    While writing this I tried something. Chat gpt told me a 4 month old needs around 14 ounces of milk in a day if their breast feeding. Which is about half the actual number. I think the recommendation is ~25 /day, my kid drinks ~30. If I gave him 14 a day I think he'd learn how to walk just to kill me.

    I used this service breifly a while ago. Not enough to say whether it's good or not, but I remember it working just fine.

  • Is Streamio considered safe/private? I remember looking into it a while back and saw something about needing an account on their servers or something.

    I used Kodi with addons for ages but switched to jellyfin because kodi felt too clunky and slow for my wife.

  • This made me curious so I checked. A Gallon on OJ cost $10 at my local chain store. It's the only grocery store for a while so they get away with a lot. What does it normally cost? I'm not a fan and don't think I've ever bought orange juice

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • A few years ago we bought a dishwasher when we were in no place to be spending money on something unnecessary, but my wife was 8 months pregnant and wanted one. We bought the cheapest one at I think Lowes, if I recall correctly it was around $100, maybe $120.

    The ducking thing doesn't have buttons, it has some stupid sensor panel, not touchscreen but is supposed to mimic it I guess. The sensors just don't fucking work, ever. I spend 10 minutes loading the thing and 15 minutes trying to get it to start. Most of the time I have to cut the power from the breaker a few times to eventually get it to work. It'll just change through all the settings beeping like crazy, so we have to keep it shut which means our dishes don't dry properly. For a while I could only get it to start on the intense mode so it took 3 hours to run, now it only works on normal. It's like I have to do a magic spell each time but the steps change weekly.

    I would love to throw it out and get a new one but it technically works and it's only 3 years old.

  • I apparently have an unhealthy relationship with food. After not having much of it for a majority of my life, now that I can afford to eat 3 meals a day I usually make those meals way to big, to the point where I make myself sick a lot.

    My wife pointed out that I always need to be watching something while I eat and it's likely me trying to ignore the fact that I'm constantly panic eating as much food as possible.

    I also can't stand when people talk to me or look at me while I'm eating, especially in any sort of company. My wife says I'm like a rabid dog when we go out and tries to remind me that no ones going to come up and take my food away from me. But just this evening my toddler snatched the last chocolate cookie litterally out of my mouth, although to be fair I did the same thing to him with a piece of plastic he was trying to eat a few minutes earlier.

    Anyway there's my somewhat related take.

  • Any suggestions on good traps to use, where to put them and how to be allowed to open your door in the summer?

    I like the bees, I don't mind a few wasps. My wife's been stung twice so far and my son once and it's barely Spring.

    The wasp wars continue.

  • Cleaned cat pee out of my computer monitor

    Jump

  • This makes so much sense.

    I made a lemon balm border around one of my garden beds to keep the squirels out (no one told me to, I had no evidence that it would do anything) and the alley cat who lives across the street moved in almost immediately. I had to replant my peppers and tomatoes 3 times because she kept stepping on/eating the seedlings. On the bright side squirels no longer go near that garden bed, wether it's because of my genius lemon balm border or the guard cat we accidentally made a deal with. She seems to use the bathroom right outside of the garden and likes to sleep under the plants so it works out all around.

  • What's the harshest disciplining you've seen someone take that they never walked away the same person from?

  • I'm not sure how I feel about community service as a punishment. At the surface I think it's a good idea, someone did something stupid so they have to go help out somewhere when they'd probably rather be doing something else, and it's definitely a better alternative to beating your kids. I just feel like ultimately the people there should want to be there helping out, and forcing them to create a kind of divide between them and the people they're supposed to be helping.

    As a reckless teenager I had to do some court ordered community service and got to pick where I went, so I picked the shelter my mom and I were staying at thinking it'd be a breeze. On my first day there I heard some of the most vulgure things about the people staying there, I got the rundown on who everyone ordered to be there wished wasn't alive, and how everyone generally didnt want to be there helping these people and would rather be anywhere else. I kept my head down while we were there so no one really recognized me, I honestly don't think they saw us as people worth remembering anyway. I switched to a food bank after a few days because I couldn't take it. It was a little better because most of the people working there were actual volunteers.

    Not knocking your parenting method at all, I'm sure (I hope) your oldest isn't spitting in a big pot of soup out of spite for being forced to be there.

    Also kudos to you for not trying to scare your kids into submission. Everyone that I've seen try to use fear as a parenting tool has in my eyes failed and it shows through their kids, who you really can't blame. I'm currently trying to get a neighborhood kid to stop coming around because his parents come over and scream too much, so the kid acts out, but I can't figure out how to do that without making him feel like he's just a bad kid who we don't want around, it seems like he'd be a good kid with a little love in his life. He's just a kid and the bad shit he does is entirely the parents fault.

  • It took 5 minutes to get my father in law to open teamviewer because he kept clicking on the first result which for some reason brought him to the teamviewer website instead of opening the fucking software he had installed already.

    And you know what? I can't blame him at all

  • I find that I'm pretty much useless after 4 hours. I usually do a 4 hour stretch during the day and then hop back on for another 2 hours when the kids are down and that seems to be the most productive for me.

  • The best part of quitting a job

    Jump

  • I once worked at a place where I built out a bunch of internal tools that became pretty heavily integrated into the development workflow. Everything I built was the shittiest, most disgusting piece of garbage I've ever seen, but it worked. My job became solely managing these tools, as everyone else struggled to read and comprehend my filth.

    I ended up switching jobs because they wouldn't give me the compensation I asked for and half of the development team quit before my 2 weeks was up to avoid dealing with my slop, a lot of them were already considering leaving for lack of compensation, but this was the nail in the coffin.

    I found out a few months later that instead of just going back to life without these tools or finding someone to take them over they just shut down the development department. The people who were left either got fired or moved to a different department to pursue a new career path.

  • HOW can we coax search-engines in to being able to do the simple "lemmy" + "search word" thing..?

  • What is your cat's name, and what stupid nicknames do you call them?

  • One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.

    Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.

  • What are your thoughts on paternity leave?

  • My wife said something like "the patriarchy hurts everyone, men included" and everything made a lot more sense.

  • What are your thoughts on paternity leave?

  • I did call them out a bit. The thing that broke me was when I said something like "I provide a lot more than financial support. I cook, clean, change diapers etc.." And I saw the group split between the guys who do that stuff and those who don't.

    It made me sad, a lot of these guys are only a few years older than me and can't really blame it on "how things used to be". I felt like I was in the 50s or something and I needed to check if the bathrooms were segregated. I've never seen such ignorant toxic masculinity in real life, and I used to work in construction 10 years ago.
