Well, here we go! An absolutely fascinating year for the Flames, and I can't help but wonder what kind of team we're going to see.

Devastating news from the Snow family

The 21st captain in franchise history is Mikael Backlund!

The article is in Swedish, so you'll have to use translate if you don't understand Swedish. But the video has English subtitles. Both the article and the video are worth a look.

As a brand new user of ChatGPT, I have never been so incredibly impressed and rage-inducing frustrated at exactly the same time with any new tech I've ever tried.

I was using it to help create some simple javascript functions and debug some code. It could come up with working functions almost immediately that took a really interesting approach that I wouldn't have thought of. "Boom," I thought, "this is great! Let's keep going!" Then, immediately afterwards, it would provide absolute shit that couldn't and wouldn't work at all. It couldn't remember the very code it just outputted to me on multiple occasions, and when asked to make a few minor changes it constantly spouted brand new very different functions, usually omitting half the functionality it had before. But, when the code was directly typed in by me in a message, every time, it did much better.

Seems with every question like that I had to start from scratch every time, or else it would work from clearly wrong (not even close, usually) newly generated, code. For example, if I asked it to print exactly the same function it printed a moment ago, it would excitedly proclaim, "Of course! Here's the exact same function!" and then print a completely different function.

I spent so much time carefully wording my question to get it to correctly help me debug something that I ended up finding the bug myself, just because I was being so careful in examining my code so I could ask it a question that would give me a relevant answer. So....I guess that's a win? Lol. Then, just for fun, I told ChatGPT that I had found and corrected the bug, and it took responsibility for the fix.

And yet, when it does get it right, it's really quite impressive.

After bribery and threats, @streetfestival has grudgingly acquiesced to help out with moderating here, especially with regards to the weekly threads and game threads.

Having some interesting articles relevant to the CFL and other 3 down football is awesome, but not when the community is still small but growing. Those posts seem to take over, as there's at least two or three every day, and so that's all that ends being on the main page in the community. So, I may manually post some of the more interesting articles from that feed, but for now the rest of them are going to stop. Obviously, community members are encouraged to give any and all feedback on this and other matters.

Both teams are 2-3, and each one needs a win to bring them back to 500. Maier played well for the Stamps last week, passing for 315 yards in a walk-off win thanks to a Paredes field goal. The Redblacks had a huge comeback win last week, coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 4th quarter to win it in a thrilling overtime victory. Crum, in his first CFL start, was a huge factor.

Lots of story lines in this one. Who is going to take this one?

I've seen this done in almost every combination imaginable, and would like to know what the 'correct' way to do this is. I've seen the building marked as 'retail' with a point at the pumps for 'gas station' and a point in the building for 'convenience store', I've seen the building itself marked as one with a point added for the other, I've seen the pumps area marked as the gas station and the building marked as the convenience store, and on and on.

What's the recommended way to do this?

Both games today were last minute thrillers, and very entertaining football. As usual in the CFL, the game isn't over until it's over. The Ottawa win in OT after a 19 point deficit was just plain fun, and then in the 2nd half of the double header, the should've been interception that turned into a reception off the bounce and a Riders TD (huge mistake by Calgary there to not just knock it down) to put the Riders up with 40 seconds left appeared to seal it, but nope! The Stamps march down and Paredes kicks a 50 yard field goal with no time on the clock for a walk off win!

Really entertaining games.

I'm glad to see this community pop up here. While I don't live there, I have family in the Koots and spend considerable time there every year near Slocan. Absolutely beautiful country, and wonderful people around there!!

Sure, TV ratings are up. But half full stands isn't a great look for the league for fans watching on TV when it happens game after game (aside from Saskatchewan I suppose). Aside from the fact that in a gate driven league this has long term consequences.

What needs to happen to help get people to go and watch the game live?

Is this just me or is anyone else having issues where suddenly when clicking on a community or post they are logged out? These seems new as of the 0.18.2 update.

Edit: I found this post where various users on lemmy.world are having what sounds like the same issue.
