I don't understand what the y-axis on the graphs mean, and what the second color for each series represents.

Per the small text at the bottom of the poster I would say they are based on shipment volumes -so how much is available. The lighter colour probably indicates variation depending on how good the growing season is

Yes, this is correct. Realistically, you only care "is it there", and "is it there and good", and those are the two levels. For SF, I'm using shipment volume as a proxy for ripeness, on the assumption that the best produce occurs when you're shipping the most of it. The shaded parts are when the annual history says that it's only good in some years but not others.

I decided against a legend because I thought that it was self evident. Maybe not... https://vertumnus.fyi/about/transcript?view=topic%3Aposter-f...

I guess the second color is the margin of error or wiggle room on the prediction.

There's no y axis labeled or marked, the visual is vertically spreading each curve out so it's not all one big color jumble. Not sure what the second color means exactly either.

What is "RSI"? This is the first I'm hearing of this alleged wildfire.

Crazy that it's not defined anywhere in this post while also being an existing thing (Repetitive stress injury).

Clearly: Repetitive Strain Injury :D

Something we all suffer from in this industry !

My clanker made my vanilla css with branding color variables. shrug.

Did your clanker reach 40k CLOC?

Not that long ago. People generating large quantities of AI output is a relatively recent phenomenon. At least when compared to labels like this.

its the same individuals in my experience. i don't see people who used to be good employees suddenly sending a 3000 word email, but i sure do see that out of the people who were bad coworkers 12 months ago and still are today.

low effort work though, that's nothing new... accelerating that low effort: that is new... but the low effort work hasn't been changed by ai: only illuminated more clearly.

It's not called that.

You will now be subject to the whims of a timer in the future. If that's not exhausting for you, go for it.

I'm not subject to the whims of anything except what I just asked for.

I can also cancel it just as easily, if it's exhausting. Which--I'm finding it hard to understand why it would be.

I don't schedule my life like that at all, I kinda wander around all day. But the idea of a reminder that I specifically asked for? It's the only kind of reminder I want, actually. It'll keep me from the actually-exhausting habit of checking my watch or wondering how long it's been.

I don't use a sauna. In my imagination some people might prefer to stop their sauna usage when it feels right. That doesn't require checking a timer.

That's certainly how it is for me; mentally I think sauna is an hour, of 5-15 minute chunks inside the warm room, but sometimes it might be more.

There are days when I walk in and immediately nope-out after a couple of minutes, and that's usually a sign that I'm getting sick.

But when it stops feeling good that's the time to leave, or stop for the evening.

It might be good to have at least two hobbies.

People that want to obscure the source of their text would rather that it was more difficult to sniff out LLM-generated text. And they're the ones picking which model to use.
