I asked my Aunt for R.E.M. at the height of their popularity. She gave me an old REO speedwagon album that had none of their hits on them. All in all, that’s the worst, so i’ve done very well.

I mean, i’m into AI, and I think it’s cool. But it didn’t peg me as pasty white. It thought the parking lot was empty when it was full, It saw “reflections” in my glasses which were parking spot lines refracted. It made me feel lower middle class because I wore a collarless shirt.

The only thing it really nailed was, it’s winter, I’m ~ middle aged, a guy and wear glasses. At current it’s not breaking the guess who game :)

It looks like the prompt is something like: look at this image and tell me information about the subjects class, race, sex, and age. Give specific details about facial features/expressions, clothing and accessories. Try to determine details about the location and season.

I gave it a screenshot of a selfie I just sent to my wife after a haircut. It was about 60/40 on the details. I could see where the 40% went wrong.

Mildly interesting, nothing to write home about.

Interesting, I have two identicals at home and tend to use them equally.

Where do you put the split, to one side or directly in front of you?

On my desk at work I have an ultra wide, a single external laptop screen to my right and a TV on the far wall on my left.

Snapping two apps right and left on the uw is fantastic on the ultra wide. Price aside, it’s as good or better than having two monitors.

The TV obviously doesn’t count cuz it’s only there for other people or if I want to have server graphs running for show.

But the secondary monitor works really well is a semi important parking space. I usually slide slack and signal over there. That way I can see what was sent and only worry about going over to it if it’s something I need to respond to. I find it kind of nice to have that logical division over there. I can hot key stuff over that monitor.

I’d say if someone has the money the UW is fantastic, But it’s super useful to have a secondary monitor from a mental standpoint for me at least.

I agree, two is probably the productive limit as long as you only have one mouse cursor. But I just got a dual screen laptop with touch on both. I can easily slip between a soure document, destination document and have a web page or other tool open for research it’s kind of classy.

I do about the same with a prixoxy/VPN container and ts.

It works, it’s not noticeably different than running through the third party VPN on device, just more flexible.

Path to the right is not mutually exclusive from the left.

They can’t allow that. That’s called leaving money on the table. They will not be satisfied until they have every penny we earn, then, once that food source dries up, they’ll go after each other.
