Today professionally was an add to the stack day. Meetings and investigations that cause the array of items to grow. Hope tomorrow ends up being one where I can knock a good set of them off the list.
Household wise it seems we are knocking a few things off the stack. PAX wardrobe done. Ceiling fan done. Bedroom flooring... mostly done. Moved the tools out of the room. It's started to look like a livable bedroom again. Also our processing was done on a full beef. One six foot freezer full of steer parts. I am really looking forward to the point when we are able to reliably butcher one we've raised on our own land. Homer probably has another year of growing before he goes to freezer camp. Our milk cow, Bitsy, should have her calf this spring and we'll see where that goes.
Right now my "office" is in one of our out buildings. Back in the Kansas City we had turned one of the bedrooms into my work space. Here on the acreage, bedrooms are at a premium so I've captured the corner of a 30x40 out-building/garage. The power has been redone and I added a mini-split to maintain the temps, thus it is on par with my previous space. There are many things could be done or worked on in that space if there wasn't the concern of me being on a web conference or getting dust all over my computer equipment. So we should take possession of 12x40 portable building this next week. It will need a good deal of work, but should become my new man cave.
Had an interesting discussion today with some co-workers about AI. I have mixed feelings on the whole thing. In my experience it has cut time out of some fairly ardous tasks dramatically. On the other side there are some basic things that I have asked it to do, that for some reason or another is incapable of doing. In those instances there seems to be a lot of obfuscation about what is exactly the problem and where the limit is happening. I'll find it suggesting potential breakdowns in process, which I know are not the case. I had previously read of a bias where when someone reads a story in the news (in this case it was the newspaper) and have enough knowledge of the subject matter that they see the research is bad and the conclusions are bogus and complain about the story. Yet the column directly next to it, of which they have no subject matter knowledge, is assumed to be creditable and knowledgable. If I can spot AI spitting out garbage in some cases, is it safe to assume the rest of what is coming out is sage advice?
