How do you explain protocol to a 5 year old ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Protocols help computers know how to behave together. It's like how you know that you make your voice go up to ask a question, so that I know I'm supposed to answer you.

What question can I ask ChatGPT, right now, that will reliably produce a factually incorrect, wrong, or false answer? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Count the "r"s in the word "strawberry".

It just answered 2.

Is social interaction actually enjoyable or just socially required? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

People want connexion. What they (tend to) get is a thin facsimile. Real connexion feels wonderful to me. Superficial, forced social performance feels awful to me. For example, I get nothing from small talk. Either talk about something real with me or go about your day.

$37 for a burrito in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

No $37 Super Burrito on the menu online. 🤷 I withdraw my conclusion, but I stand by my reasoning.

Because nowhere do you pay USD 37 for a burrito where the menu is on display at the counter, such as this.

Nowhere.

UPDATE: Evidently this place is in Greensboro, but that price appears not to be genuine. 🤷

Program to abstractions with clear contracts. Advice since the 1950s.

Why do you folks continue to resist?

What's the biggest misconception you think many people have? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The whole notion that a living is something that needs to be earned.

People generally like to work. Few people want a job. Fewer still want the job they're forced to have.

Depend on abstractions. This isn't hard. 🤷

I'd love to say this was intentional, but no.

Firmware update notification, but no update applied (sh.itjust.works)
 

I run a lemp10. I saw a notification of a firmware update, but when I applied the update---apparently successfully---the firmware version did not change. Now I see no pending firmware update.

What happened? Is this normal? Task failed successfully?!

Why did I need to restart to upgrade my recovery partition? (sh.itjust.works)

I tried to upgrade my recovery partition today and it failed with "No such device"/OS error 19.

I found this discussion on Reddit in which @mmstick suggested restarting, but with no explanation as to why that was needed or would work. It worked for me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/xun8vu/error_updating_recovery_partition_no_such_device/

I'd like to know why it worked and why it was needed, mostly for two reasons: to generally understand the situation better and to imagine what I might have been able to do that didn't require restarting.

Thanks.
