Shout out to my nieces and nephews for helping design and create the perfect robot!

I'm cooking again

My cousin's super cool kids explaining their skibidis #skibiditoilet

The new #OpenAI feature where you can make your own GPT is pretty cool but I can't wait until it's a bit more stable. Lots of errors after you add documents. I am trying really hard to make it good at splunk but it just can't reason through it well.

I asked #ChatGPT #chatgpt4 to draw me a Pikachu in HTML + CSS, no canvas, and I have to say it's perfect. It's exactly as I remember it from the show! codepen.io/nicholmikey/pe…

I brought up #ChatGPT w/ my engineers this week and I don't think devs really understand yet that if you don't like the code it writes you can just tell it why and it will fix it. We all need to adapt to this.

So far everything I tried with #chatgpt4 has been successful - style a page with tailwind - use js to play the Mario theme, it even picked the right notes and waveform - draw a circuit diagram in ASCII then write the C++ for a robot (esp32) - write a hangman game in Svelte +More

@SLord519 That's awesome. I asked it to draw an ascii diagram of attaching an SD card to an ESP32 and it did a good job. I'm going to see if it will incrementally add other components too.

@UselessDuck Asked it to provide a circuit diagram for an arduino mega that worked with the previous code, it originally sent an imigur link that I couldn’t open, so I asked it to send the diagram in ASCII, which it did

I have not written code for a while, but I have started up again now using GPT-4 to assist. It's kind of amazing. It works very well with microcontroller code. I have so many ideas that can be real now.

@SLord519 How did you do the circuit diagram?

@UselessDuck Was following an arduino tutorial with pre made code that didn’t work with our specific model, but the first try asking chatgpt gave us working code, a circuit diagram, and annotations that explained how and why the code worked. Really incredible

I think I found the limits, no matter what I just can't get a picture of a horse wearing pants

I finally tried the DALL-E AI image generator and It's just fascinating

@redlettermedia First time a video stopped in the middle and said "This video is not available", was kinda neat

I was searching for tattoo ideas for things I am passionate about and I found the perfect thing

I am glued to this Morrowind stream, it's perfect youtu.be/FfKWHtNDGKU

I have not built a PC in years and today I get to assemble my new Plex, Minecraft, NAS server combo, I forgot how great it feels! 40tb + i7 12700k

I have been writing software since the 90s, and professionally since 2010, and I think I'm finally ready to accept estimating dev durations accurately is impossible. And to make it extra spicy no external stakeholder really wants agile. Why do we do this to ourselves lol.

Someone hit the fire sprinkler at #topgolf in #vegas last night! #Golf

@young_steveo That's surprising to me I thought Canada dropped that, but it must be for Canadians only

@UselessDuck I'm triple vaccinated, flying to Vancouver this week, and Canada is also asking me for a test, so…

About to fly to #VEGAS for a week, I'm perplexed why USA still wants triple vaxxed Canadians to get an (expensive) covid test to enter. But it is what it is.

@WrestlesGaming My wife and I have been enjoying Night Trap on the switch, the cheesy early 90s night trap song all the girls sing is legendary youtube.com/watch?v=yCPL3D… reminds me of "Top That" from Teen Witch
