Except when the government is immune to this and passes things off as real since it isn’t marked as AI.

Avoid caffeine in the afternoon (how late depends on each person’s caffeine metabolism). Don’t eat within a few hours of bed. Don’t drink right before bed. Go to bed at the same time every day. Try to avoid screens within an hour of bed. If you must, it should be something passive.

Doing some of those is better than none of those; not everyone can do them all. I found I was more sensitive to caffeine than I thought and that making my bedtime the same +/- 30 minutes every day made things a lot better for my sleep. I take a hot bath about an hour before bed, get into bed, put on some background music (nothing too interesting or I won’t sleep), and then fall asleep pretty well.

Japanese and full of law references and the history of laws that needed to be memorized. I’m going to take the online US licensing test and convert.

I know it’s true about anyone way, waaayy too into their hobby, but some anime fans in particular need to chill way out, especially where it intersects with coming to Japan and being super creepy to others, particularly after a few drinks.

I grew up in the US and have lived outside it for 10 years now. I would agree with this. Voting and representation have never been total and is definitely less available for many groups. Further things are being stripped away.

Might have been microwave link. We had those as part of our disaster recovery at a few places I worked.

Have you tried flipping and or rotating your mattress? Getting a new mattress? Getting a new pad/spring/boxspring (or maybe rotating/flipping that)? Have you looked into your sleep hygiene and schedule?

If all goes well, I should get my permanent residency here in Japan in a couple more months; I’m just waiting on all the paperwork to get done (probably may-june).

I’m looking forward to eating fresh veg right off the farm, but that’s not going to start super soon (well, from my own farm, anyway; some locals have hot-houses and are already producing various things).

I’m hoping to get my amateur radio license this year as well, but I don’t really have much time to study (fulltime job + running a small farm business) so we’ll see on that one.

I have a full-time job that’s around 45 hours a week on average (basically accounting for on-call rotation and crunch; normally, I just hit 40). I also run a small farm business and the work depends a lot on the season. It’s a couple hours a week in winter and a lot more in spring, fall, and summer.

I found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).

Maybe I’m old and proud, definitely I’m concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don’t fully understand) is just begging for trouble.

As an android user (Pixel), I’ve only ever opened AI by accident. My work PC is a mac and it force-reenables apple intelligence after every update. I dutifully go into settings and disable that shit. While summarizing things is something AI can be good at, I generally want to actually read the detail of work communications since, as a software engineer, detail is a teeeny bit important.
