As a JW I never celebrated either. It’s strange because my wife is Lutheran and she’s probably the most excited adult about Christmas I’ve ever met. Bakes the Ham, turkey, Christmas PJs, Love Actually, Home Alones and gifts Christmas morning.

I love seeing her happy as much as I love food. So it works out. I don’t get involved beyond what I would do on a regular day which is be happy for her, have good conversation and banter and eat a lot of food.

People will say well if you are not active, what’s the big deal? Well, It’s like how parents might give advice when you’re younger and some of it you outgrow or choose not to follow as you become an adult, but certain lessons stick with you for life because they feel fundamentally true. They become part of who you are. For me, not celebrating Christmas is like this. Even though I’m not actively practicing as a Jehovah’s Witness, that teaching still aligns with my values and feels like the right thing to continue avoiding it. It’s also a sign of respect and a nod to my beliefs.


and a nod to my beliefs.

You could have just said that you're still a believer. Not being 'active' doesn't mean anything if you're still a believer.

I don't know why you'd refuse to embrace the joy of Christmas in your situation. Self-denial and suffering aren't noble virtues, contrary to what religion loves to tell people. It's okay to enjoy things.


Hi bro


well yes it was abandoned many years ago.


In this case its rather obvious. a year prior one project reached 1.0 That would make the webserver useless, since it could do the same on a cluster of servers with an better uptime


Upvoted! Never any harm in more options, especially to include more people.


Honestly, I keep secret some of the amazing uses of ChatGPT. I feel selfish but also I feel as if everyone is respsible for what they get out of it. We have many people and the media spending hours and tons of prompts trying to create funny or eyebrow raising headlines. I just keep my head down an marvel at the growing array if uses, many complex, that chatgpt can perform. It has been making me tons more money for just $20 a month. I could hire 10 developers and assistants and they would not be able to come close to it's technical, coding and general abilities and in 1 to 5% of the time it would usually take!


Hi, do you mind revealing some of these uses? Or, lets put it differently, I have been using ChatGPT for

- writing simple functions: e.g. I used it to generate a function that receives a name and then removes any dutch name particles ("van de", "van der", ...). ChatGPT also generated the list of dutch name particles of dutch name particles.

- solving tricky bugs: e.g. I used it to solve a tricky but in SwiftUI that nobody on stackoverflow was able to solve.

- generating ideas for apps I could develop that would make use of the ChatGPT API.

- as a replacement for google when debugging code based on error messaged received.

I feel like this is how the typical programmer uses ChatGPT, but im intrigued by your comment what kind of uses you have for it. If you dont mind, could you hint at some ways you use it?


Same. I'm almost inclined to include prompt engineering as a skill in my CV next time I'm out looking for jobs.


You absolutely should. This has gone from an obscure research product to household name incredibly quickly. South Park even made a full episode about it.


Yes, I see all these people saying they've tried ChatGPT and don't understand the point or why it's useful. They've probably just not learned how to prompt it correctly.


Did you use any publicly available resources to learn how to leverage these LLMs in new ways?


Yes true about hardware support. But Linux is advantageous for many reasons that made it the standard in large-scale cloud environments in the first place; largely because it offers much greater customization and control in just about every aspect. The cost/open source advantages as well.


~ $400 to $500 now, but PS% is not upgradable and if the PS6 is anything like 5, it will be over $1000 for the first year+



A gaming PC that like everyting else ended up being used mostly for work.


Indeed! I was going to dual boot, but Windows 10/11 now has WSL (Windows subsystem for linux). So I've been using Ubuntu, Debian, and other distros and also can launch (Wayland and x11) apps natively like Remmina and other Linux only apps: https://i.imgur.com/299XJvv.png


I had a similar setup when WSL1 was initially released, but I couldn't wait for GUI support. Switched to Linux only a couple weeks later, and haven't reinstalled Windows in years.

Obviously everyone's needs/setup is a bit different though, I was mostly quipping about the PS5 comparison. Looks like a good machine though, enjoy!


It's probably because the ads are in-house from the root domain and not 3rd party ads with a bunch of tracking nonsense.
