- If there were a Joe Rogan of the left, he would tell you to stfu and vote for Cuomo for mayor of NYC. #
- NYC is a special place, like the Knicks are a special NBA team. #
- And btw, Cuomo, like Trump, is from Queens. #
- PS: The Joe Rogan of the left will be from Queens too. :-)#
- PPS: Queens doesn't have an Empire State Building, and they tore down Shea Stadium. So the Unisphere from the last World's Fair will have to do. But Queens is probably the most ethnically diverse place in the world. Think about that for a minute and how the fight for the soul of the US will be fought in Queens. #
- PPPS: I come from Jackson Heights and Flushing. #
- I had a conversation on Bluesky with a writer saying she didn't have much use for ChatGPT, though she had tried using it. #
- I wanted to see if I could open a door, suggesting that next time there was an problem using a computer, that she bring the question to ChatGPT. #
- I think that's good advice for anyone who hasn't seen how useful these are as tools, as opposed to a ghost writer. #
- Use it like a search engine. What comes back is customized to the question you have. With Google you'd have to read through docs that are meant to cover every angle, but the AI bot zeroes in on the issue you're dealing with. #
- There's no comparison between using Google to search the web and using ChatGPT. You can go places via ChatGPT that would be impossible any other way. #
- Passkeys#
- Previously I had tried to approach passkeys to get an idea of how I should use them, but never grasped the big picture. I just didn't understand what they were doing, but I understood it was about authentication. A hardware approach to identity, that much I got. How it worked and how I would use it did not click. #
- And then earlier this week, an essential site that I use infrequently, required using a passkey. When I had set it up a few months ago, as part of a bigger develolpment task, I had no idea what I was doing, and eventually bailed out, and left it unable to get back into the system, which happened on Sunday. By default the browser, Chrome, had previously connected it to my Pixel 9 Pro. There was a record of the connection being used for a variety of other services, but the one I needed was not there. This was after a full day of trying to debug it from the other side. I now have a lot more info about how passkeys work, I won't be able to say I know enough until I've re-established the connection. #
- I know a lot of readers of this site understood passkeys without anyone having to piece it together for them. I have never been one of those people. Just the way my mind works, it's why I'm a good person to test software, I get lost easily. #
- All this is to say -- think of ChatGPT as a technical assistant with broad knowledge and patience. That's where the real power is imho. #
