Uh, I double-checked because they open-sourced their system prompt after that and it looks like it still has one or two problematic sections.

I grew popcorn this year and it's not very economical, but it is pretty.

If the Magnificent 7 have flat headcount in the future, it'll be because they dead-ended on AI (with the obvious analogy to Deep Blue).

Pretty happy with my developing CAD skills that I managed to match (down to the threading that fits) this broken piece of a toy.

I don't know if it's the same ND thread, but I clipped this a few days ago because the sense of entitlement is just wild. "I bought a car that's too big so I can break the law."

I don't know if paying the firefighters more is obvious to everyone on our favorite platform...
![NextDoor post reading: Sorry, but a list of salaries without anything to which to compare it is useless. What does the fire chief in SF make including benefits, overtime, etc.? Oakland? Berkeley? Daly City? Seriously, I'm not saying we're not paying an awful lot for our services. I'm saying we need to know whether or not we're paying more than other medium to large cities in the area.
Nextdoor post replying to above: [NAME REMOVED], for a City the size of SSF, hardly ANY fires are put out., mostly paramedic calls, it is a complete waste of tax dollars to have an idle expensive fire station open just to appease somebody.
From the replies to a post where a conspiracy theorist NIMBY is complainging about why the city is taking so long to respond to her FOIA requests for all the city staffs' credit card receipts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wuuxibh5jglhc4mm27otfwvq/bafkreifk76zv5qlsoj2oe4biwtatjlhcwdyyih4ba3ypdtraxycchd7ozq@jpeg)

In this color scheme red is just the winner (so always a Democrat in our county), but in Daly City it's actually a Republican. 🙃

I'm a bit shocked that Daly City evidently elected a Republican as their *top* choice for school board. Cursed place.

I remembered Oyster Point being like that, but just checked and the bike lane actually disappears at Airport and reappears here a couple blocks later:

This job posting is full of red flags, but my favorite thing is the "almost a founder" line. The "almost" part is clearly the compensation (which is not listed).

Solution: [redacted] conducts holistic health checkups in under 2 minutes using a smartphone, screening 7+ organs and 20+ biomarkers with just a face video, voice recording, and an eye picture.
🚀 What We're Looking For - Not a standard hire, almost a co-founder:
• Vision-driven individuals who deeply believe in our mission.
• Proactiveness and hands-on attitude.
• Solution-oriented mindset: nothing is impossible if not against laws of physics.
• Strive for greatness; allergic to "good enough" attitude.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wuuxibh5jglhc4mm27otfwvq/bafkreica6mo4k3zpqgzmngezfcic2upfpuf7lciht4eyzp37dfptaulpja@jpeg)

Bold strategy for our local NIMBYs to point out that the mayor of our heavily Democratic city is at the DNC.

I was just wondering that about the 10k too, but I guess for longer distances the few extra feet don't matter as much?
