cilantro would also be good in that soup

Agreed! Unfortunately for me, we forgot to get it out of the fridge when the soup was ready.

Cilantro in general is tough. It comes in large enough bundles from the store that we really struggle to use it all before it goes bad.

Don’t take from his pile

Ants on a log! Classic.

just different ingredient expectations or something

No, it’s fundamental to the way LLMs (don’t) work. Take 10 random pages from a cookbook. Look at the cook times. I’m guessing the “impossible” times you’ve noticed will be within the range of times from the random cookbook.

The LLM doesn’t actually know anything about cooking; it’s just mashing together something plausible based on 1000 previous cookbooks.

Funny you mention the library; I put a couple of cookbooks on hold just a few minutes ago because of this community!

That’s a great idea if it’s possible, but I want to say it wouldn’t have helped with our environment at the time.

I almost wish I could look back at that repo and share the yaml file here, maybe I was missing something back then. I’m certainly more proficient with yaml now.

I do recall wishing there was a way to simulate the execution locally. I think I remember hearing about a local runner, but it had too many caveats to help.

We use Azure Devops at my current gig. It works pretty well for our setup. I’ve used GHA before; it definitely didn’t “spark joy”. I wastedspent way too many hours in the “update yaml file, commit, push, wait 5 minutes for it to fail again” spiral of despairfeedback loop.

Nice thing with ADO is its release dashboard – you get a really nice summary of recent builds and where they went:

$project - dev - test - prod

I didn’t see anything similar for GHA.

Are you a programmer?

Hudson? Man, that’s a blast from the past.

Eatingwell has been my go-to lately. I see lots of things that look enticing from triedandtruerecipe on imgur, too.

Check out this riggies recipe. You won’t be disappointed.

Yeah, it’s fairly clever but not actually magical. Sometimes you have to go in and take a look.

Actually, the real magic is that it works out mostly ok most of the time. Much better than older systems where you would have to “check out” a file to work on it which would lock others out. I’ve heard older programmers talk about needing to go find someone who had a file checked out and have them check it back in to enable them to do some work.

Roughly equal parts “git is clever” and “once in a while, someone has to take some time to figure it out”.

Say the code is split into two files. You and I both make changes, but you’re working on file A and I’m in file B. No problem!

Now we both make changes in file A. Sometimes Git can just “figure it out”, like if all your changes are in the beginning of the file, and all my changes are at the end.

But sometimes we both change the same section. Git can’t figure that part out, so one of us has to sit down and reconcile the changes. Sometimes this is pretty simple, other times…not so much.

Put it all together, and it works out pretty well most of the time.

I love it! I’ve also heard this referred to as “… in freedom units”

I thought of openTTD when I saw this

I have one in my car. Husky maybe? I got it probably 7-8 years ago - just grabbed one off the shelf at Target, I think. It’s been pretty handy for filling up my tires. Best $20 I’ve spent on my car, really.

Thanks, I’ve updated it.

Oh, sure, and the spam box in my email might actually have a valuable offer for me!

“proven science”

Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We’ve had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it’s STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(
