Personally, I think you just proved their point. Anything they know from talking to people who know things is immediately dismissed with “oh, it’s anecdotal at best”.

I saw “baguettes” in the title and thought “catloaf?”

No, it’s actual bread! 😂

Ha, 1319 was the one that came up when I did a search for this!

Funny, garbanzo beans are probably my favorite. Total opposite!

We have a chickpea casserole, a roasted halloumi and root veg + chickpeas recipe, and a “marry me chickpeas” dish that we particularly like at my house. They’ve become a staple in the menu here over the past year.

We also like black beans for a number of things. We like pinto beans too, but it’s harder to find uses for them.

And it’s opened my mind to looking for other ways to work smarter, which is invaluable in itself.

100% agreed. The straight up time tradeoff doesn’t account for the benefits of the learning experience.

Exactly! 🤣

This xkcd came to mind. On one hand, I’m not sure about the time efficiency here. OTOH, figuring out this sort of workflow improvement is rewarding in itself beyond the basic time tradeoff.

I stopped reading at “the Internet got going in 1995”. FFS, even the web dates back to 1991!

Look at the community name again

Cube 2 potato

Latvian?

I heard about voat back in the day and thought “Oh, cool, like reddit without some of the overbearing crap from the admins”.

Then I went to voat and read a few posts.

Well, shit. I didn’t want to be on a nazi site. So much for that.

Also, you don’t need to uncompress plain text.

Content-Encoding: gzip would like a word. :P

Agreed on all points other than that nitpick

I used to. When I was a kid in school, I figured it was a holdover from “the racist times” back in the 1960s.

Then I saw how people treated Obama. Real eye opener.

All cows eat grass.

I’m still playing Civ 3 as of this week. Mostly a mod, CCM, now.

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!
