ChatGPT Zamboniman • 1 year ago • 92%

As a brand new user of ChatGPT, I have never been so incredibly impressed and rage-inducing frustrated at exactly the same time with any new tech I've ever tried. I was using it to help create some simple javascript functions and debug some code. It could come up with working functions almost immediately that took a really interesting approach that I wouldn't have thought of. "Boom," I thought, "this is great! Let's keep going!" Then, immediately afterwards, it would provide absolute shit that couldn't and wouldn't work at all. It couldn't remember the very code it just outputted to me on multiple occasions, and when asked to make a few minor changes it constantly spouted brand new very different functions, usually omitting half the functionality it had before. But, when the code was directly typed in by me in a message, every time, it did much better. Seems with every question like that I had to start from scratch every time, or else it would work from clearly wrong (not even close, usually) newly generated, code. For example, if I asked it to print exactly the same function it printed a moment ago, it would excitedly proclaim, "Of course! Here's the exact same function!" and then print a completely different function. I spent so much time carefully wording my question to get it to correctly help me debug something that I ended up finding the bug myself, just because I was being so careful in examining my code so I could ask it a question that would give me a relevant answer. So....I guess that's a win? Lol. Then, just for fun, I told ChatGPT that I had found and corrected the bug, and it took responsibility for the fix. And yet, when it does get it right, it's really quite impressive.

Having some interesting articles relevant to the CFL and other 3 down football is awesome, but not when the community is still small but growing. Those posts seem to take over, as there's at least two or three every day, and so that's all that ends being on the main page in the community. So, I may manually post some of the more interesting articles from that feed, but for now the rest of them are going to stop. Obviously, community members are encouraged to give any and all feedback on this and other matters.

Both teams are 2-3, and each one needs a win to bring them back to 500. Maier played well for the Stamps last week, passing for 315 yards in a walk-off win thanks to a Paredes field goal. The Redblacks had a huge comeback win last week, coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 4th quarter to win it in a thrilling overtime victory. Crum, in his first CFL start, was a huge factor. Lots of story lines in this one. Who is going to take this one?

I've seen this done in almost every combination imaginable, and would like to know what the 'correct' way to do this is. I've seen the building marked as 'retail' with a point at the pumps for 'gas station' and a point in the building for 'convenience store', I've seen the building itself marked as one with a point added for the other, I've seen the pumps area marked as the gas station and the building marked as the convenience store, and on and on. What's the recommended way to do this?

Is this just me or is anyone else having issues where suddenly when clicking on a community or post they are logged out? These seems new as of the 0.18.2 update. Edit: I found [this post](https://lemmy.ca/post/1371527) where various users on lemmy.world are having what sounds like the same issue.

Thanks for all the feedback on our crossposting bot for bringing linked content here from Reddit! Reviews have been mixed, as expected. The bot will be turned off for a couple of weeks, or perhaps permanently, while we see how the community grows without the Reddit content. Happy posting and flying!

Calgary Flames Zamboniman • 1 year ago • 100%

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback about the crossposting bot! Reviews have been mixed, as expected. It's getting turned off for the next couple of weeks, or perhaps permanently, and we'll let the community grow naturally. There will still be Flames relevant stories posted from The Hockey Writers and The Win Column via RSS (not from Reddit, directly from the source) to bring us relevant content for discussion for the time being. If anyone has other content they would like to see here that's RSS accessible, let me know!

Thanks to everyone that has posted or DMed about the bot doing the Reddit crossposting, and giving me your thoughts! Reviews have been mixed, which I expected, about whether or not the bot is useful or annoying or somewhere in between. It's getting turned off for now and I'll let the community grow organically. It can be something used occasionally, turned back on temporarily after two weeks, or scrapped entirely (it's not meant to be permanent regardless). The next couple of weeks and the thoughts and opinions of community members will let me know.

An article in the Herald about some details of the new arena deal.

An odd issue. I've noticed that while on lemmy.ca *some* thumbnails seem to show up but way less than when directly on other lemmy instances, even when in the same community. Is there some issue here? Or maybe some setting to show or not show thumbnails, either in the instance software or in the user settings?
