I pull my arm through the sleeve first. Do you freaks pull your head through the neck and then fumble around blindly with your arms over your head or something?

The bigger issue is that I'm in between a medium and large shirt. Generally I'm wearing a medium and it's a little too tight.

Know a lot of sharpers who try and pull off a smedium look, but not aware of many who attempt a marge. Just admit defeat like I do and go straight large.

Medium-Tall was a game-changer for me for t-shirts. Tighter shirts are much more comfortable when they're not also slightly too short.

Everyone makes fun of old navy, but they have an infinite selection of plain-color t-shirts in MT that are basically free.

I like a baggy t shirt to sleep in and a more fitted t shirt for walking around in public.

You wear a shirt to bed? Coward.

Baggy shirts look stupid. A large definitely looks baggy on me. I have some that I wear around the house when I just want comfort and don't care how I look.

That’s wild. I’ve never seen anyone take off a shirt like that. Was this something you were taught or something you discovered you liked better than the traditional pull the shirt over the head method?

I think I need a video of what pulling your shirt over your head even looks like. I can't imagine how it works. If I try to take off the whole shirt vertically, there's several seconds pure idiocy where your arms are over your head and your face is in darkness. Plus you're caught between trying to keep your arms extended so they go through the arm holes and actually bending them to pull off the shirt. People really do this?

 

[rome8180]

If you pull off one side first then you have free use of your other arm to quickly pull your head through the neck hole. It's a much better method if you're willing to live with stretching out one armpit.

I pull mine off over my head by the collar. Fast, doesn't stretch the shirt, stays right-side-out. Best of all worlds.

I’ve been dying watching @rome8180 ’s latest video.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

@DrKlahn Is this true? You’ll be homeless soon?

The TDD attorneys can move under the bridge with me and all these other developers.

Obviously this is something that the profession is watching very closely. On the litigation side, at least, I don't think there is going to be widespread acceptance for a while. Not when stuff like this happens:

Judge sanctions lawyers for brief written by A.I. with fake citations

The lawyers were ordered to pay $5,000 by a New York federal judge after admitting the ChatGPT artificial intelligence tool was used to create a legal brief.

www.cnbc.com

The TL/DR is that someone "wrote" a brief using ChatGPT that made up fake cases. Like real Lionel Hutz stuff. It didn't end well.

 

[bfactor]

Maybe re-litigating lazy AI chatbot work becomes a boom for competent attorneys.

We should probably stop calling it "AI". Gives people the impression that it's capable of much more than it really is.

I think I've said it before, but it's most useful as a reference tool. It can regurgitate information in language that's easily understandable, but it can't make any statements of its own with a reliable degree of coherence or accuracy.

 

[bfactor]

At this point the term has become so abused by the media that people think any sort of computer automation, even just plugging variables into a formula, is "AI".

Not just the media, its the product and marketing teams for every tech and tech adjacent company under the sun. My new treadmill apparently uses AI to develop custom workouts just for me.

So basically fancying up "algorithm" to move more products?

It wasn't so long ago that the painfully cringey debates between salesy execs and their technical counterparts were merely about whether you could call something "data science". I had to pretend something was a "predictive algorithm" for a while that was just the difference between two inputs added to a third. Can't imagine how horrible those conversations are now about when such advanced algorithms become AI.
