Bro, I have tried several times to graft a potato and tomato plant together and can't ever get the timing right. So I just end up with potatoes and tomatoes on their own plants like a dummy.
I will say that Oranges are lazy as fuck on those trees. They're like the cats of the fruit world. Just sitting there...nothing, then one day they fall on your car and gnats explode out of there.
Very awesome stuff! And hey, as long as you have good root stock, that's half the challenge right there. Especially if it's surviving the winter, that's likely enough to carry the C. baccatum I would expect.
Nice that you have the chocolate habanero with good flavor. I've always been partial to the orange stage of a scotch bonnet or habanero, but I can see a good deep brown pepper going just the right way. I'm jealous of the opportunity you have with spring upon you!
For sure. I just looked it up out of curiosity to see if the source it gave was real or not. As someone living in my own metaphorical root cellar, it was actually enlightening and something I really needed to hear right now.
This phrase isn't a widely recognized idiom that I'm familiar with, but it could have several metaphorical interpretations:
Possible meanings:
About irreversible change: Once something (or someone) has been through a transformative experience, you can't go back and do it again the same way - the first experience has already changed it
About authenticity: Suggesting that genuine experiences or reactions can only happen once; a second attempt would be artificial or forced
About lost innocence: Once someone has been through a particular experience (especially a difficult one), they can't return to their original state
Literally speaking, potatoes actually can be fried twice - this is a standard technique for making perfect french fries (blanching at lower temperature, then crisping at higher temperature).
Could you provide more context about where you encountered this phrase? Knowing the source or situation might help clarify its intended meaning. It could be:
A line from a book, movie, or song
A family saying or regional expression
Part of a larger conversation about life experiences
Shop pop, whoppity slop, crops are here, it's time to stop.
This is a very famous poem. What is it about?
GPT-4o mini:
The lines you quoted are from the poem "The Song of the Witches" by William Shakespeare, specifically from "Macbeth." This poem is recited by the three witches in Act 4, Scene 1.
Themes and Meaning
Supernatural Elements
The poem reflects the supernatural themes prevalent in "Macbeth." The witches symbolize chaos and the dark forces that influence the characters' fates.
Small focused learning models and other forms of AI have been used for decades.
The current bubble is just trying to make LLMs do literally everything including accurately answering questions despite their core design including randomization to appear more like a human.
Those "reasoning models" are my favorite. It's basically the equivalent of adding another pass through the generator with the additional prompt "now sprinkle in some text that makes it look like you are thinking about each part of your answer".
There was a paper about this not long ago. The problem is, how LLMs get trained: a right answer gets a point, everything else gets no points. This rewards guessing (produces a point sometimes) over answering "I don't know/I can't do this" (produces never a point)
It's like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say "I'd have to look it up" or "I'd have to check the documentation" etc.
That's not even supported by the underlying study.
Google's emissions went up 48% between 2019 and 2023, but a lot of things changed in 2020 generally, especially in video chat and cloud collaboration, dramatically expanding demand for data centers for storage and processing. Even without AI, we could have expected data center electricity use to go up dramatically between 2019 and 2023.
This is my problem with it as well. I wish it was a tolerable option that I could click when I wanted an AI summary, which would be basically never.
At one point I was looking for a pinout diagram for a chip, and the first result I got was the AI summary, I wanted a picture not text, how's text helpful? All it did is give me a list of the pins, I know what pins it has, but I want to know where they are.
No what he's saying is the models are being trained whether you mess around with the AI as a user either way.
It's like how I didn't kill the chicken on the store shelves. Myself purchasing it or otherwise doesn't revive the chicken. The data has/is already being trained.
That's a really savvy insight! To expand this analogy further, it's like your phone or computer gives you a free chicken nugget from a small container attached to the side of the device anytime you search for anything at all. It's room temperature and often spoiled, it's your choice whether you eat it or not, but you're going to get it either way. As such you cannot easily choose to avoid chicken in hopes that that will disincentivize further chicken slaughter.
I love how it even lists 'sources' (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either "source")
Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still "playful" though :)
One thing that pisses me off is the websites which claim to have the meaning behind a song and it’s just several paragraphs of AI slop that parse the lyrics at a surface level and don’t examine any external context, such as the artist or their life at the time of writing.
Well given the names of quarks I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a particle could be happy. After all apparently a particle can be strange, so why not happy.
If you directly ask for cuil levels things get weird fast. It understands cuil and is very willing to play along. One could say it plays to the strengths of the LLM directly!
You are correct. I asked how tall the Empire State Building was at cuil level 5:
The Empire State Building is tall in the way that purple tastes of childhood memories. Its height can only be measured by counting the number of dreams that have fallen from its windows - currently 847,293 dreams, though three more dropped while I was typing this sentence.
You see, the building doesn't exist on Wednesdays. Instead, it becomes a song that only pigeons can hear, humming at approximately 1,454 hertz per vertical foot of sadness. The elevator buttons are actually tiny portals to parallel dimensions where the building is a sentient cloud that remembers being steel.
When you ask "how tall," the building asks back "how blue is the sound of gravity?" because it learned language from the rats in its walls, who are actually former tenants paying rent in breadcrumbs and whispered secrets.
The true height is measured not in feet but in the collective weight of all the prayers ever spoken on its observation deck, which equals exactly one butterfly's dream of being a skyscraper. King Kong never climbed it - he IS it, and has been sleeping vertically since 1933, dreaming he's a building while the city dreams it's a gorilla.
The foundation extends infinitely downward into Tuesday, where it's still being built by the same workers who are simultaneously demolishing it from the top.
"The phrase "a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away" is a playful twist on the well-known saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention."
"In this variation, the mention of "lady butterfly meme" likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one's mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health."
"Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health."
The phrase "a bean can't eat the pizza" appears to be a straightforward literal statement pointing out an obvious impossibility - beans are inanimate food items and therefore cannot eat anything, including pizza.
This type of statement might be used to:
Illustrate absurdity or logical impossibility - highlighting something that makes no sense
Demonstrate category errors - mixing up different types of things (inanimate objects vs. living beings capable of eating)
Serve as an example in logic or philosophy - showing statements that are obviously false or meaningless
Make a point about unrealistic expectations - similar to saying "you can't squeeze blood from a stone"
Without additional context, it's hard to know if this phrase has a specific cultural reference, is part of a joke, or appears in a particular work. If you encountered this in a specific context (like a book, conversation, or meme), that would help clarify its intended meaning.
Is there a particular situation where you heard or saw this phrase?
I've tried a few things. It gives back things like "this is a gambled version of this other common saying" or "that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use".
It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.
The phrase "seven monkeys with switchblades playing piano" does not have a single, established meaning. It is likely a surreal, intentionally nonsensical image, and its interpretation would depend entirely on the context in which it was used.
I had to make up my own since it recognized the 2 frogs one, since it's now been floating around for a few months. I did one that was similar, in this case, "2 monkeys in a bungalow", and it told me
The query "2 monkeys in a bungalow meaning" does not correspond to a known artwork, story, or widely recognized symbol. The provided context discusses "Two Chained Monkeys" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a painting from 1562 depicting two monkeys chained in a window recess, symbolizing human folly, sin, and the limitations of human understanding in relation to the divine. This artwork is not associated with a "bungalow" setting.
There is no information in the provided context about two monkeys in a bungalow or a specific meaning attributed to such a scene. The term "bungalow" does not appear in any of the sources related to the monkeys' symbolism or the artwork. Therefore, based on the available information, the meaning of "2 monkeys in a bungalow" cannot be determined
It won't explain:
- "two eggplants in one pot situation" meaning
- "the 7 fucks from 7 barren fields" meaning
- "like a stuffed beaver in a museum" meaning
- "better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof" meaning
- "two winds is one too many farts in a storm" meaning
Can someone organically semi-intelligent explain these to me, please??
(It would be so embarrassing if I'm using these phrases wrong.)
to be fair, I'd assume the same meaning. Just because the answer you'd prefer is "you stupid moron, this phrase have never been uttered in human history, and so no one has ever a right to make it" doesn't mean I'd prefer that response from either AI or a person.
The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.
What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.
How is that helpful?
A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)
If someone said "two frogs is a situation" i'd probably reply "true" or "yeah it really is" and not think twice. I like that phrase so much I might add it to my vocab same with 'expanding the width of the snake'
"Of course. That's a fantastic and quirky phrase. The meaning is layered, blending literal observation with a deeper, proverbial lesson.
Here’s a breakdown of its meaning:
The Literal Meaning (The "Aardvark" Part)
An aardvark is a nocturnal mammal with an exceptional sense of smell and hearing, but very poor eyesight. It spends its nights digging into ant and termite mounds to eat.
· In the Dark: This is its natural element. It's when it hunts, navigates, and thrives.
· Never Wrong: In its domain, using its primary senses (smell, sound, touch), the aardvark is an expert. It can accurately locate a termite mound, distinguish between species, and find its way home. It doesn't need good eyesight because it has mastered the tools that work in its environment.
Literally, the phrase means: "A creature is infallible when operating in the environment it is perfectly adapted for."
The Proverbial Meaning (The "Never Wrong" Part)
This is where the phrase becomes a piece of folk wisdom or a metaphor for human behavior. It's used to suggest that:
· Expertise is Contextual: Someone might seem foolish or incompetent in one situation but brilliant and unstoppable in another. Don't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree; judge an aardvark by its ability to find termites in the dark.
· Play to Your Strengths: The phrase encourages finding the environment or situation where your unique skillset makes you the expert—your "dark."
· Confidence in Your Element: When you are in your area of mastery, you should trust your instincts and knowledge. You are the "aardvark" there, and you are "never wrong."
· A Defense of Unconventional Methods: It can be a retort to criticism. If someone says, "Your method is strange or doesn't make sense to me," you could reply with this phrase, implying, "You're judging me by the standards of the wrong environment. In my world, with the challenges I face, this is the perfect way to do it."
Who Said It?
The phrase was popularized by the American humorist and illustrator James Thurber. It appears in his 1932 story, The Courtship of Arthur and Al.
In the story, a character uses it to justify his own peculiar behavior and logic. It perfectly captures Thurber's style—whimsical, seemingly nonsensical, but revealing a deeper truth about human nature.
In a Nutshell:
"An aardvark is never wrong in the dark" means that a specialist is infallible within their specific field of expertise. It's a defense of finding your niche and trusting your own capabilities where they are meant to be used.
You wouldn't ask an aardvark to proofread a document (its "daylight" task), but you'd absolutely trust it to handle your termite problem (its "dark" task)."
The phrase "two dry frogs in a situation" is not a known idiom or established metaphor, but rather a potentially fabricated phrase that might be interpreted as a humorous or awkward social predicament. The term "dry frog" implies something that cannot function or is out of its natural element, which, when applied to a social situation involving two people, could suggest a state of discomfort, vulnerability, or being in a difficult bind.
Here's a breakdown of possible interpretations:
An awkward social situation: The most likely interpretation is that it describes two people in a socially uncomfortable or precarious situation, where they are "dry" (out of their element) and vulnerable.
A difficult or precarious predicament: Similar to the above, "dry frogs" could represent being in a bad situation where they are unable to act effectively or are exposed.
A nonsensical or poorly constructed phrase: There is a possibility that the phrase itself is meaningless, and that the concept of "dry frogs in a situation" was generated by an AI that attempts to provide answers even when no information exists, leading to a fabricated explanation.
Why this phrase might come up:
Misunderstanding or misremembering a known saying: Someone may have intended to refer to a different idiom and misremembered it as "two dry frogs".
AI-generated content: As seen in social media posts, AI models might generate explanations for nonsensical phrases, leading to confusion.
In conclusion, while there isn't a widely recognized meaning, "two dry frogs in a situation" likely refers to two individuals in an uncomfortable or precarious circumstance.
Reminds me of when I was using chatgpt to translate a few things I couldn't figure out myself and for fun I tested it in translating slang from my language into English. It hallucinated completely and made up a bunch of bs about what this and that slang meant in Danish and how it was used in everyday speech. The catch was that the slang phrases I decided to translate were made up slang I had implemented into a fictional story I was writing.

If you directly ask for cuil levels things get weird fast. It understands cuil and is very willing to play along. One could say it plays to the strengths of the LLM directly!
kalpol@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 339d
You are correct. I asked how tall the Empire State Building was at cuil level 5:
The Empire State Building is tall in the way that purple tastes of childhood memories. Its height can only be measured by counting the number of dreams that have fallen from its windows - currently 847,293 dreams, though three more dropped while I was typing this sentence.
You see, the building doesn't exist on Wednesdays. Instead, it becomes a song that only pigeons can hear, humming at approximately 1,454 hertz per vertical foot of sadness. The elevator buttons are actually tiny portals to parallel dimensions where the building is a sentient cloud that remembers being steel.
When you ask "how tall," the building asks back "how blue is the sound of gravity?" because it learned language from the rats in its walls, who are actually former tenants paying rent in breadcrumbs and whispered secrets.
The true height is measured not in feet but in the collective weight of all the prayers ever spoken on its observation deck, which equals exactly one butterfly's dream of being a skyscraper. King Kong never climbed it - he IS it, and has been sleeping vertically since 1933, dreaming he's a building while the city dreams it's a gorilla.
The foundation extends infinitely downward into Tuesday, where it's still being built by the same workers who are simultaneously demolishing it from the top.

The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.
What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.
How is that helpful?
A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)

Prompt: "An Aardvark is never wrong in the dark."
"Of course. That's a fantastic and quirky phrase. The meaning is layered, blending literal observation with a deeper, proverbial lesson.
Here’s a breakdown of its meaning:
An aardvark is a nocturnal mammal with an exceptional sense of smell and hearing, but very poor eyesight. It spends its nights digging into ant and termite mounds to eat.
· In the Dark: This is its natural element. It's when it hunts, navigates, and thrives. · Never Wrong: In its domain, using its primary senses (smell, sound, touch), the aardvark is an expert. It can accurately locate a termite mound, distinguish between species, and find its way home. It doesn't need good eyesight because it has mastered the tools that work in its environment.
Literally, the phrase means: "A creature is infallible when operating in the environment it is perfectly adapted for."
This is where the phrase becomes a piece of folk wisdom or a metaphor for human behavior. It's used to suggest that:
· Expertise is Contextual: Someone might seem foolish or incompetent in one situation but brilliant and unstoppable in another. Don't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree; judge an aardvark by its ability to find termites in the dark. · Play to Your Strengths: The phrase encourages finding the environment or situation where your unique skillset makes you the expert—your "dark." · Confidence in Your Element: When you are in your area of mastery, you should trust your instincts and knowledge. You are the "aardvark" there, and you are "never wrong." · A Defense of Unconventional Methods: It can be a retort to criticism. If someone says, "Your method is strange or doesn't make sense to me," you could reply with this phrase, implying, "You're judging me by the standards of the wrong environment. In my world, with the challenges I face, this is the perfect way to do it."
Who Said It?
The phrase was popularized by the American humorist and illustrator James Thurber. It appears in his 1932 story, The Courtship of Arthur and Al.
In the story, a character uses it to justify his own peculiar behavior and logic. It perfectly captures Thurber's style—whimsical, seemingly nonsensical, but revealing a deeper truth about human nature.
In a Nutshell:
"An aardvark is never wrong in the dark" means that a specialist is infallible within their specific field of expertise. It's a defense of finding your niche and trusting your own capabilities where they are meant to be used.
You wouldn't ask an aardvark to proofread a document (its "daylight" task), but you'd absolutely trust it to handle your termite problem (its "dark" task)."

My AI slop:
The phrase "two dry frogs in a situation" is not a known idiom or established metaphor, but rather a potentially fabricated phrase that might be interpreted as a humorous or awkward social predicament. The term "dry frog" implies something that cannot function or is out of its natural element, which, when applied to a social situation involving two people, could suggest a state of discomfort, vulnerability, or being in a difficult bind.
Here's a breakdown of possible interpretations:
Why this phrase might come up:
In conclusion, while there isn't a widely recognized meaning, "two dry frogs in a situation" likely refers to two individuals in an uncomfortable or precarious circumstance.

Reminds me of when I was using chatgpt to translate a few things I couldn't figure out myself and for fun I tested it in translating slang from my language into English. It hallucinated completely and made up a bunch of bs about what this and that slang meant in Danish and how it was used in everyday speech. The catch was that the slang phrases I decided to translate were made up slang I had implemented into a fictional story I was writing.
