These hotlines are for providing support. They are trained not to escalate to sending someone unless they absolutely deem it necessary (and the caller agrees). My wife has been working the hotline as a volunteer for 6 years and has not once escalated to sending someone.

As others noted, my California county has a dedicated team to respond to this.

Perhaps there is a group that isn’t served by legacy ui discovery methods and it’s great for them, but 100% of chat bots I’ve interacted with have damaged brand reputation for me.

I woke up feeling sick, stiff, and lethargic while staying with a friend in NYC in 2008. My friend said “I’ve got just the thing” and gave me one of his adderall.

20 minutes later I was feeling better than I’ve ever felt in my life. We had one of the most exciting, memorable days in my life, just pinging all over the city. That night we went out to a club, where I somehow charmed a girl way out of my league.

We met up the next day and she was very disappointed.

That is to say, it was quite pleasant for me.

I sometimes think I have undiagnosed ADHD (my daughter has it), but this would seem like evidence against it, as it was undeniably stimulating.

I found that when editing images of myself, the result looked weird, like a funky version of me. For the cat, it looks "more attractive" I guess, but for humans (and I'd imagine for a cat looking at the edited cat with a keen eye for cat faces), the features often don't work together when changed slightly.

Each new model opens up new possibilities for my work. In a year it's gone from sort of useful but I'd rather write a script, to "gets me 90% of the way there with zero shots and 95% with few-shot"

Things that didn’t work 6 months ago do now. Things that don’t work now, who knows…

I bring it camping all the time.

Ask a bird what flying is good for and their answer will be encumbered by reality.

Kind of the opposite of “everything looks like a nail”.
