I really don’t care much for America… But it’s an absolute travesty… I’m genuinely surprised that it seems Americans are happy to be treated like utter shit by their own government.

I also hate private health, and in fact, cop the additional medicare levy on the chin because id rather pay 2-5k in tax that funds medicare, than get some junk private health cover. The problem with bulk billing is it’s so dependent on location. I have great GPs that can get an appointment within a day or two. More rurally you’re waiting 6-8 weeks and paying $90 a pop. Despite their being flaws in Australia you can still at least get emergency life saving care that won’t bankrupt your family. I’m not as well versed but there’s also the safety net for medications which I believe stops the horrendous out of pocket expense across a year

I have a low carbon footprint and my solar has exported 17,000 kWh more than my usage. Please tell me again how a 0.3 watt hour query is me completely disregarding the environment

Edit: I have ai generated search engine summaries turned off… I hope you do too

I’m sure people have been making crawlers for 30 years… But I haven’t been, so I’ve been able to access “knowledge” and shape it for my use case. I think equating ~5 queries to torching an acre of forest is a bit hyperbolic which doesn’t help anyone.

I might not have been clear, no I don’t think I could have done it. Or if I could it would have taken months and months of learning . This was generated in about 5 queries and a total of 25 minutes testing.

In this scenario it needs to read a 5 day forecast capture key elements and only send the email/ alert the first time and not the following 4 days(if the alert remains the same) so in my previous attempts at RSS reader apps already in existence, they didn’t meet the need.

Well, I mean it’s not all marketing and hype. I was able to get it to write a piece of code to scrape a RSS feed and email me if it met certain perameters. I couldn’t have done that without a real grind / if at all. This is effectively the only time I’ve used it, and I think it’s atrocious the amount of petty shit people use it for… but there can be a functional benefit to generative AI. Makes me shed a tear thinking of the energy demand though.
