Impressive demo from #OpenAI , not necessarily because of the capabilities of the model but because of the way you can iinteract with it, fast, you don't have to wait for the full answer etc. The emotions it shows will become cringe quickly however 😆 #AI

About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

An incomplete list of inappropriate comments I received from my male colleagues recently:
- You look furious.
- You have a quiet voice. A woman from Ukraine in our department also has a quiet voice.
- You look nervous.
- You gave me an angry look at the elevator and I didn't dare to discuss a project with you.
- You are so modest.
- You don't have to get so confrontational.
They reduce our professional interactions to an imaginary emotional state…

Is it legitimate to write in a #manual for a piece of equipment (that improper use of could lead to damage, injury or death):
`If you find yourself asking 'should I be doing this?' the answer will always be 'No'.`
?
Seriously I'm running out of ways to say:
don't sit on it, swing from it, stand under it, hold onto it, put your genitals in it, lick it, fart…
