I design and develop interfaces for data. Past lives in arch/history of arch. Generally interested in: ∩ of data/image/language; history of most things; frontend dev/web/TS; learning; dad jokes. Camberville, MA
Also, I am sorry Internet for I have sinned and posted the worst content. (AI screenshots 🤦) I promise to do my best to only lapse maybe once a year in this way. (Provided 2026 doesn't bring anything monumentally worse)

Also gave it a simple screenshot of text from Reddit in a different situation -- maybe 200 words of text, max -- and it misimputed what was said.

But this is horrible. It gets things wrong over and over, admits that it doesn't know and then asks me to feed it something so it can hallucinate more.

The only good news is that academics, provided you assign not THE most commonplace books/films...maybe you will be able to know who did the work?

Sure, it's my fault for engaging in this convo in the first place. (The first part of the movie was so hard to watch that I asked if the film got easier to watch, since I had used ChatGPT to get the film rec.)

That's not any kind of endorsement (I actually told a horror story from arch. school involving him just today), more just how he came off.

Anyway, his books on the history of NYC (New York 1960, etc) are amazing/highly recommended. He also did a great job with Yale imo, even with many flaws.

So much self-censoring!

Also, naming the exact country from ~180 is hard! Maybe incorporating Tradle-style hints after a missed guess could make it easier? (oec.world/en/games/tra...)

Fun game though!
Tradle | OEC Games | The Observatory of Economic Complexity
Became an instant classic, guess the country based on an export distribution | Have fun with OEC Data

Or if not which countries, I think a player should be able to understand, while playing, what the gray lines represent (i.e. criteria for their inclusion), since it's clearly not all countries.

Just in case you hadn't tried -- if you are rendering Markdown in a browser, often you can pass through valid html, which would allow you to do this.

Yeah, I guess thankfully no. Just missing the days of yore.

(Had the brief thought of: what if cottage core...but for coding?)

That's fair. I just think that short form swiping stuff is, on the whole, a plague. Appreciate the different perspective here though!

Misquoted it again (can't comment and see post) but you get what I mean :)

*oops, by "has this happened," I meant your framing of "how many women have had this experience." (Misquoted your original)

When I read, 'has "this" happened,' I thought it was going to be one thing, but she literally had kind of all of it. Being told she's a poor performer, being told she is a great performer but still not advancing, etc.

My guess is that every woman can identify with one of her "this"s.

I think the most interesting part of that post is how many different situations she was in and how many different explanations she was given for her lack of advancement at a reasonable pace.
