@ausfestivus@aus.social same. Have prewarned other householders to watch anything outstanding in the next month. $20 was my limit and i was faffing about cancelling it, but then to crank it again by 20% in less than a year? yeah nah.

@wdormann@infosec.exchange i'm expecting "too expensive for simple stuff, too terrible for complicated stuff" to be the eventual price point.

@ajft@aus.social it'd be totally irresponsible to suggest you find a puddle to wet and muddy your tires and then leave obvious wheel prints up and over the bonnet.

@mherbert @futzle @fullofmang ah see i think it peaked in season 4/5 - the balance of chaos vs humour was about right. (Mr Flibble's not very happy, etc). s6 was ok... but i htink that was the start of reusing jokes in episodes? And I stopped watching.

@coolandnormal its hard coded in my brain, anyone says 'fish', and 'trout a la creme' pops in there. I tried to watch Death in Paradise early on and every time Danny John-Jules is on screen a little piece of subconscious pops up a notification that says "FISH!"

@Tubemeister @Gargron Asterisk provides an alternative where you replace it with another pun, but that's beyond translation :) I don't have a reference, but I remember reading that later translations to dutch specifically were much better - it wasn't a quick and dirty word for word, someone was employed to put some real work into trying to keep the sense of the joke there.

@perkinsy @LifeTimeCooking @weezmgk I cannot recall if that particular plant survived after that. This year's batch have also got riper much quicker - i guess it was just a terrible spot for it, but not _too_ terrible? They were capsicums seeded from one bought from a shop, I just had a bunch of seeds and some spare gardenbed and threw them in. They grew as you'd expect - all tangled together and weird, and then I had to remove the bed, so they had to survive through that. Somehow now in pots (about 75% survived) they are fruiting and seemingly happy.

@perkinsy we left one on the bush for 8 months as it slowly slowly ripened and it was not woody or anything at the end of it, so i'd advise patience? :) (most of mine get bugs boring into them, annoyingly, which is a danger if you leave it)

Replying to @pandora_parrot@beach.city
@pandora_parrot@beach.city @pseudonym@mastodon.online Inconsistency is a big issue - where will it randomly throw some noise this time? Its an exciting game. But even consistency can be bad - with a junior, you can review code and say "hey, don't do X, it is bad for Y and Z" and they have the capacity to internalise that, especially for localised reasons. Theoretically the junior will learn over time, and do this less. The LLM output does not without being explicitly told ever time - it will keep making the same output because that's how its usually done. And even when explicitly instructed, sometimes you get "Oh I'm sorry I didn't follow that instruction, I'll go back and fix that". If you had to keep instructing a person like that, you'd be praying for them to quit.
