I have graduated to even screwing up my timers. Now the timer doesn’t get silenced until the thing it is timing gets accomplished. Unless I’m distracted and fail to use that rule, then it’s back to square one of course.
Edit: whoops, two people already said basically this. Guess I’ll leave it
IS IT LUIGI MANGI-MOTHAFUCKIN-ONE?!
Wait what?! Install several, pick upon login?! Had no idea, that’s awesome.
I’m definitely aware of that move, you can kinda tell who has gotten burned the worst (or maybe just most recently) by this behavior - by how insistent they are about the paper trail.
For me, I’d rather fuck off altogether, I want to work with people who want to get shit done. This nonsense is for the terminally unproductive, and that ain’t me.
But, alas, myself and many others…ya play the hand you’re dealt, I guess. Working on swapping some cards though.
I’ve bumped up against some federal govt (US) contracting work, and have seen this for sure. I’ve seen some (decision-making!) individuals who behave this way, impacting progress so badly that it truly smells like a compromised person / spy. It’s really that nuts sometimes, where the more plausible answer is that the person in question is not acting in good faith.
Out of curiosity (and if you’re willing), how come? Been wondering if I should do similar, would enjoy another perspective.
Not the person you replied to, but I think you’re both “right”. The ridiculous hype bubble (I’ll call it that for sure) put “AI” everywhere, and most of those are useless gimmicks.
But there’s also already uses that offer things I’d call novel and useful enough to have some staying power, which also means they’ll be iterated on and improved to whatever degree there is useful stuff there.
(And just to be clear, an LLM - no matter the use cases and bells and whistles - seems completely incapable of approaching any reasonable definition of AGI, to me)
😔
Cool! Who pays for that? Game developers / publishers or more like game focused media outlets?
But then don’t you have to set it to a precise time on the clock each time you use it, rather than “30 min in the future”, for example? The issue for me is timers that I set often, like while cooking. Seems like a minor annoyance maybe but I use them while cooking and entertaining especially, AKA having my attention severely split already lol, additional complexity is to be avoided
