And as a father of one quite autistic child, and likely being somewhat on the spectrum myself, my communication with the children involves a lot of absurd humor.

Has anyone thought really hard about whether we can make LLMs as funny and disturbing as, say, a Victor Lewis-Smith, or similar satirists?

One rule I like, is to ensure that, as well as validation, all validated information is dumped in a convenient format prior to running the rest of the script.

This is super helpful, assuming that some downstream process will need pathnames, or some other detail of the process just executed.

Not got an X4 yet, but from the link above, it should be about 50% faster than the EliteBook, which in turn is 50% faster than the X2L / Palmshell.

  me: "(apologetic) A small amount of urine escaped. The rat was not to blame."
  wife:  "(sternly) The rat was *totally* to blame!"

They are such little characters, full of so much love and joy.

Just the short lifespan is the biggest downside. :(

  * Pudding rat plans escapes to the top of the habitat, whenever the door is open,

  * Rats are super trainable, and will speculative do tricks for treats (ours get gerber baby puffs, or rice krispies for spinning, going through a hoop, shaking hands etc.)

  * Pie rat likes loose clothing and will run into sleeves, pants, and general enjoy herself,

  * Rats also love certain styles of place, depending on the rat, and will happily just chill on your shoulder, or against your tummy, or under an arm and nibble a treat,

  * Crumble rat is the baby, and more timid, less curious, and prefers to hide, but will run around and climb on the humans if her sisters are doing it.

I've not ever noticed them dreaming as ours prefer to snuggle in a hammock, with some rags pulled down, but they clearly have goals, and imagination, not just 'behavior'.

Rat's aren't dogs, but a few rats can make a wonderful replacement if you're somewhere where larger pets aren't permitted.

I suggest to look up his trip up from Mexico, following the migrant route. For a different view of the same trip, his travelling companion (automous something) has his own channel.

RanOutOnARail isn't really a hobo though ... I think he's a software engineer in Texas somewhere.

Hobo Shoestring has an interesting channel also, albeit with a home base. You'll learn a lot about trains, and hobos' most hated adversaries, the 'homebums'. :D

And of course, there's a 10x hobo, in stobe-the-hobo (RIP), well worth watching all his videos.

The hot soapy water washes away the structue of the nest, and quickly kills the inhabitants, whilst not damaging my lawn, or having slow acting insecticides hurting my animals and getting into the wider food chain.

In the file ~/.adjustments, just add a name for the thing you want to control, then low high step and initial values, can be decimal, and then a line with the command you want to execute, with a single '%' being replaced with the value.

Hit 'q' to finish.

It's super handy to have ← → cursor keys to adjust a setting, rather than retyping the command in full.

One person only though, not a shareable experience.

Like others, I'm waiting for this to come to a spectacles / sunglasses formfactor. An external box would be fine, I just wouldn't be able to bear wearing what looks like metal ski-goggles for any significant period of time.

On a script-related note, I spent a bunch of time back in the day reading through these:

Surely most of the required support is there already?

OMG That's awesome!
