SA2HA , in Psycho ex-partner

Thats crazy. I feel sorry for you girls who need to go through shit like this.

sab , (edited )

Don't worry, there's plenty of batshit crazy women out there as well. In OPs post it could honestly be either gender.

ghostermonster ,

Why are you right away saying it’s a man? It could be a man, it could be a woman.

r00ty Admin ,

I think the last few messages make it far more likely to be a man, until then I wasn't sure myself. But yes, this level of crazy is not limited to a single gender.

In this case, it does warrant a police report. But, that's just my opinion.

You might wanna contact law enforcement if he comes over to your house without your permission

dakku ,

Definitely a “call the police” situation

Cokeser ,

Since the convo states 2017 as the date, I assume OP is not the source and/or the issue is not acute anymore.

Mothra ,

Well the older messages say 2017 but do the missed calls? Newer messages say “today”. It could be the same idiot harrassing sporadically over years

Hexanimo ,
@Hexanimo@kbin.social avatar

Not to say that harassment can't span several years, but I'm guessing the screen caps were taken shortly after the calls. The phone would say it was "today" but the texts from a few days ago would already be dated.

Mechanize ,

Thank you for pointing this out. I was too flabbergasted by the sheer insanity of the messages to even consider checking the date.

Probably a repost of some kind. Still. I hope the target of this meltdown could go through this whole thing without problems and be safe.

robigan , (edited )

What makes me chuckle the most is the fact that OP’s psycho ex partner can be either female or male and yet here we are (or at least I am) thinking that the psychotic ex partner is of the opposite sex

mizu6079 ,
@mizu6079@lemmy.world avatar

8th message middle row; heterosexual relationships are the most common globally.

robigan ,

Not necessarily, I am a heterosexual male and my best female friends refer to me as girl. Just cus you get called girl on my side of the planet doesn’t mean that you’re a girl by any means, either way we won’t know unless OP discloses their partner’s sex.

Loki ,

The psycho ex is being threatening and an asshole, I doubt they’re using the term “girl” just in a jokey and endearing way. Has more of a “you are my girl” vibe.

Edit: also, the “bitch” and “whore” are dead giveaways lol

robigan ,

Fair enough, taking this into account, then as the original commenter said, they’re most likely male. But it still interests me how as a collective society our reactions change based on these facts

mockingbird ,

u dislike a whole gender?

robigan , (edited )

Ok fair enough that’s worded terribly, let me clear myself up. What I meant was the opposite sex, why I said it was because I was referring myself to the opposite sex that we do not understand because we aren’t it, which sometimes makes us hate it because we cannot relate to the struggles that they go through

mockingbird ,

Okay I gotcha. I definitely think its easy to get caught up in the battle of the sexes, I definitely grew up with intense messaging about generalizing both sexes, so I sometimes have to catch myself before randomly thinking X is doing that “cause they’re a man/woman”.

I still sometimes fall into it but i eventually met so many different/interesting men and women that I stopped being able to assign expectations to them based on the sex I saw them as. Took a long time though/i think its a lifelong journey. I like that you can identify that it is something you are projecting onto them because you want to but don’t understand. That’s a great foundation to build understanding on

Is blocking people illegal in your country

Cqrd ,

At this point I’d want the messages for proof for a restraining order, and also to know that I need to be on the look out.

platypus_plumba ,

Yep, always keep those messages coming. They are digging their own legal grave.

NullPointerException ,

I’d personally want a heads up from the psycho before they just appeared at my house. I didn’t block a crazy ex for a similar reason

BendyLemmy ,
@BendyLemmy@lemmy.world avatar

But what about the new users who complain about the slightly less new users, who might simply be slightly older ex-Reddit users who wish to complain?

What about people who complain only about subreddits like r/donut - should they not, instead, complain about the hole thing?

HariSeldon_official , in When someone writes a sentence, uses a comma instead of a conjunction

Is this considered grammatically correct in English? As far as I know, this form is correct when you’re listing something, but the last element must be preceded by and.

Basically why they are single, you must be desperate lmfao

@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

She’s desperate for asking a question and carrying a conversation? Tell me, how do you order your coffee in the morning?

arin ,

I tell the barista the way I want my coffee is something they probably never heard of, then ask her why she wants to know so badly. My type of coffee is not your average 25 year old’s coffee these days, and laugh while asking why she wanted to know again. And then finally I’ll ask “Why should I share the coffee I like with a complete stranger?” Then ignore her.

Almost as infuriating as giving chatGPT compilation errors and going in circles for a code fix

Wololo ,

I literally broke down into tears doing this one night. Was running something that would take hours to complete and noticed an issue at maybe 11pm. Tried to troubleshoot and could not for the life of me figured it out. Thought to myself, surely chatgpt can help me figure this out quickly. Fast forward to 3am, work night: “no, as stated several times prior, this will not resolve the issue, it causes it to X, Y, Z, when it should be A, B, C. Do you not understand the issue?”

“I apologize for any misunderstanding. You are correct, this will not cause the program to A, B, C. You should… Inserts the same response it’s been giving me for several hours

It was at that moment that I realized these large language models might not currently be as advanced as people make them out to be

tweeks ,

Might I ask if you were using Chat-GPT 3 or 4? I had this as well, got send into circles for hours, with 3. Then I used 4.

Only two bloody messages back and forth and I got my solution.

musicworld ,

Is 4 trained on newer data than Sept 2021?

Sentau ,

Yes

tweeks ,

Just a little bit, the main set is just September 2021 but some specific additional data (and other modifications) has been used to further improve the model.

Wololo ,

If I remember correctly it should have been gpt-4, of course, there is always a chance it was 3.5

Since then I’ve learned much better ways to kind of manipulate it into answering my questions more precisely, and that seems to do the trick

Shush ,

IIRC, 3.5 is the freeware and 4 requires a subscription.

tweeks ,

Yes, and 4 has access to several custom plugins, live web browsing (temporarily disabled though) and a Python Interpreter (soft launch, as I can use it but did not see a release post yet). All in beta though.

tweeks ,

One might wonder who is training who.

twitterfluechtling ,
@twitterfluechtling@lemmy.pathoris.de avatar

They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I’m looking for.

The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the “really simple” ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it’s own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to “learn” from it’s mistakes, as such.

I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁

Wololo ,

It’s entirely possible! I remember listening to a podcast on AI, where they mentioned someone once asked the questions “which mammal lays the largest eggs” to which the ai responded with elephants, and proceeded to argue with the user that it was right and he was wrong.

It has become a lot easier as I’ve learned how to kind of coach it in the direction I want, pointing out obvious errors and showing it what I’m really looking to do.

Ai is a great tool, when it works. As the technology improves I’m sure it will rapidly get better.

blargh1111 ,

So is the answer a platypus? I think that’s the only mammal that lays eggs, but now I’m wondering about echidnas.

Trainguyrom ,

Another fun example is “how many giraffes have been landed on the moon?” Because it’s a question that lends itself to a creative answer but obviously the answer is 0, no giraffes have been flown into space

kicksystem ,

Oh yeah. I was learning some Haskell with the “help” of GPT4. It send me down a super frustrating rabbit hole where in the end I concluded that I knew Haskell better than GPT4 and it was wrong from the very start 🤷‍♂️

Wololo ,

When you end up resorting to saying things like “wow, this is wonderful, but… It breaks my code into a million tiny pieces” Or “for the love of God do you have any idea what you’re actually doing?” It’s a sign that perhaps stack overflow is still your best (and only) ally

Jimmycrackcrack , in Can we stop making posts to complain about new users complaining about reddit?

What is more mildly infuriating than reading a post complaining about someone else complaining? Adding another level!

I don’t know, maybe a post complaining about people complaining about people complaining? Seriously though I didn’t notice such posts. I’ve only seen level 1 of this rabbit hole so far with people complaining about Reddit users ruining their little club and that seemed to peter out mostly over the past 2 weeks.

Anyone else notice picture quality is bad on lemmy?

Peregrinus ,
@Peregrinus@lemmy.world avatar

probably going to be different across servers (haven’t confirmed) but many are using pictrs as part of Lemmy for image management. you can configure the details on how and at what quality they are stored. git is here: git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs

Might be a repost of a repost of a message sent by text and recompressed at each step.

Try !wallpapers and see if the image quality is fine there.

TSMKFail ,

I’ve actually found it to br far better than reddit, mostly because 99% of reddit posts these days are bot reposts of an jmage that’s been cycled a LOT
