Toilet paper is wood, while the seats are plastic. Wood is a 2.5-ish on the mohs scale, and plastics tend to be too. So they scratch at a 2.5 ~~with deeper grooves at a level 3~~, even on a micro scale. The alternative is to use ceramics for the seat, but the fragility means one rough drop of the seat and it could shatter. Metals are generally no better.

Well, the address one was an example. Smart paste is useful for more than just addresses - Think non-standard data formats where a customer provided janky data and it needs wrangling. Happens often enough and with unique enough data that an LLM is going to be better than a bespoke algo.

The email one though? We absolutely have dedicated forms, but that doesn't stop end users from sending emails to our customer anyway - The email ingestion via LLM is so our customer can just have their front desk folks forward the email in and have it make a best guess to save some time. When the customer is a huge shop that handles thousands of incoming jobs per day, the small value adds here and there add up to quite the savings for them (and thus, value we offer).

Given we run the LLMs on low power machines in-house ... Yeah they're worth it.

One of my favorite examples is "smart paste". Got separate address information fields? (City, state, zip etc) Have the user copy the full address, clock "Smart paste", feed the clipboard to an LLM with a prompt to transform it into the data your form needs. Absolutely game-changing imho.

Or data ingestion from email - many of my customers get emails from their customers that have instructions in them that someone at the company has to convert into form fields in the app. Instead, we provide an email address (some-company-inbound@ myapp.domain) and we feed the incoming emails into an LLM, ask it to extract any details it can (number of copies, post process, page numbers, etc) and have that auto fill into fields for the customer to review before approving the incoming details.

So many incredibly powerful use-cases and folks are doing wasteful and pointless things with them.

So far I've only got socks, skirts, and hair accessories (hair down to my waist). Definitely been wanting to explore other clothing now that I know myself better.

It sounds like you're having a blast, and it's always fun to hear about how other folks have experimented. Vinted looks neat, If you've got any other tips let me know lol

Doing those kinds of things at home because they were fun actually led to me realizing I'm genderfluid recently. It's been crazy facing a part of my experience of life that the patriarchal society we live in essentially deprived me of up to this point: knowing how euphoric it feels to let myself want to be pretty and feminine sometimes.

Funnily enough, the barycenter of the earth and sun is inside the sun iirc

I have never heard y'all used singular, growing up in the American South. Instead, as I understand it:

  • Y'all: You all, referring to a group of people (Can potentially be a subset of a larger group, e.g. talking to one couple at the table among a group of friends). "When are y'all having the wedding again?"

  • All y'all: shorthand for "all of y'all" Explicitly referring to "all of the members of the group in question", requiring that at least one member of said group is being addressed by the speaker. The difference is there are no exceptions (apart from exaggeration) "Ain't a single one of you innocent, all y'all had a hand in this" or "All y'all need to put on your seatbelts, I ain't going to jail for any of y'all's comfort".
