CATIONKING

Did you read that? Not ordinary shares. Not average shares. Not mediocre shares. Outstanding shares!

Still tanking after hours.

I know this has been discussed, but the Fable to Opus switching, for me, makes it completely useless. I run a biotech lab equipment business so some of my chat sessions were related to that business. That seems to have cause Claude to refuse to answer some pretty innocuous questions with Fable.

Like: "Recommend a soil moisture meter for me. I need one that works accurately and reliably while staying stationary in the soil." or "What is the geometric mean of 82 and 155?" or "What is the total revenue for all spaces launches in the world per year?"

So, while Fable seemed great the few times I was able to use it, it is completely useless to me now.

The first step of my coffee process:

When grinding beans, I wet the beans to eliminate static and reduce grinding temperature. I use about 2-3g of water per 140g of beans. This prevents them from feeding in my grinder, so I attached a lab vortexer to shake the grinder. I tapped into the grinder circuitry so the vortexer runs whenever the grinder runs.

I don't make espresso as I think the brewing temperature is too high. My process is more complex and I won't get into it here but it involves a multi-step, water cycling process at increasing water temperature each step.

I have been using Gemini on my Workspace account for a few months after switching from ChatGPT. In general, it's been about the same (honestly pretty dumb but slightly better than Google searching). Today, in "Thinking" mode, it gave me advice to call a bank's credit card reconsideration line to check on the status of my application. Luckily, I was smart enough to realize it was a scammer's phone number when the "agent" asked me to install the "HelpDesk Host" app on my phone. I hung up. Sad.

Good news for all you loser reddit karmavagrants. There's a new company that might be just the right fit for your unique talents:

INCELL ( https://incell.com/ )

Clean up that makeshift lab in your mom's basement and see if they'll let you work from home. Thanks to BioPharmGuy's newsletter for the heads up.

The current focus of the forum is:

"Autonomous Vehicles and Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS)."

Will there come a day when the focus is changed to only be:

"Autonomous Vehicles" ?

At some point (now?), it becomes pointless to continue discussing "kind of self driving" vehicles when "real self driving" vehicles are out there.

I'm selling my Bridgeport, the one used to make the 3-time champion Battlebot Ziggo. Info here - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/tls/d/santa-clara-bridgeport-milling-machine/7684569075.html

TIL - A dropoff scan at a UPS store is not dropping off a package with UPS. I dropped off a next day air package at 2:20pm and the store failed to give the package to a driver later that day. The package was not picked up by a driver until the following day.

UPS has denied my request for a refund of the shipping charges. My customer paid extra for next day shipping and now I have to refund them out of my own pocket. UPS has told me that only the "origin scan" counts, which only a UPS driver or processing center can do.
