5·3 months agoWouldn’t whoever is running the bot just be able to do a quick .replace() before feeding the raw data into it? What would be funnier is to get the bot to generate the string itself and then stop, without it being obiously present in the input. :)

17·5 months agoRyanair now makes you install their app instead of allowing you to just print and scan your ticket at the airport, claiming it’s “better for our environment (gets rid of 300 tonnes of paper annually).” Then you log in into the app and you see there’s an update about your flight, but you don’t see what it’s about. You need to open an update video, which, of course, is a generated video of an avatar reading it out for you. I bet that’s better for the environment than using some of these weird symbols that I was putting into a box and that have now magically appeared on your screen and are making you feel annoyed (in the future for me, but present for you).

5·9 months ago… but the output is not deterministic as the letter count is sampled from a distribution of possible letter counts for a given word and letter pair; count ~ p(count | word = “blueberry”, letter = ‘b’)!
Here’s some typos I noticed:
you ever to -> you ever do
RAM, is critical -> RAM, critical
prevent it’s -> its
who look in it’s -> its
