Totally came to say that. I rinse but don’t use soap in some circumstances.

See and that is why I almost pitty such people. They never learned how to be a normal person. How to be satisfied with what you have. But I did say almost. Cause they make the world a shithole for the rest of us.

So I am so ewhat pro AI. But hear me out. I sometimes refer to myself as an automation engineer. I spend a lot of my time automating the set up and use of various software tools. For those who know the term Infrastructure As Code is a part of my job too. And soo many tools have shitty UIs and even shittier apis. The rise of AI is going to add pressure to have better apis because that is what the AI uses. So even if AI falls flat on it’s face in a few years, any improvements in apis is a vig win for me. And since the automation I write is for my coworkers, not external customers, anyone in tech benefits from this. Now for me personally, I work ina lot of different languages and DSLs. I rarely spend enough time in any one of them to really memorize the syntax. I pretty much can’t write a working program without some sort of reference. So, I can tell AI exactly what I want it to do, and it can code and test until it runs. Then I can use that as my syntax reference and make it do what it is supposed to do. That ends up being much faster than me having to google various syntaxes to see where I need a semicolon vs a comma, or where I need to use [] instead of {}. So it helps me. And I do love using AI to file my jira tickets. Works great for those of us who’s work is interrupt driven. We often file the ticket after we’ve solved the problem.

That doesn’t sound like it is saying don’t identify yourself. That it’s called claude isn’t internal information. So it doesn’t seem that instruction is doing tpwhat you are saying. Must be more instructions.

As much as a full time job? There are 168 hours in a week. Work is only 40. For many years, not even the night is your own. You are on call 24x7. Imagine a tech office asking a team of two to cover a 24x7 oncall rotation for for not 1, but 2 major applications that could crash at anytime, and do so often one way or another. Then ask them to spend 40 hours a week on a 2nd job. The reality is that we as a society (in the US at least) do children a disservice. Each one is different. They learn differently, they feel differently, their needs are different. And we hand the controls over to two people with no experience, and hardly any sleep to make some of the most important decisions in a childs life. Parents should have more support from trained professionals. That in turn would allow them to be more effective at work. Even couple where one parents stays home with the kids needs help. Often an outside perspective can spot things the people who are there all the time miss.

See but ghostbusters always crashed on my c64. So it was like the forbidden fruit. I never got to lay more than 5 minutes of it, but in my head it was the best thing ever. Lol. Human brains just suck.

At this point, many of us are numb to the impending whatever. There is always 6 things happening that shouldn't be happening (that we know about) and that could upend our lives. And usually there is very little we can do besides yell on the internet.

It's not hypocritical. Because you use AI to code, you know how easy it is to just let the AI do it's thing and not check it's work. It's almost like a sirens song. So you know the odds that a library that was coded with AI probably wasn't checked by a human. That's just called experience.

Wow, your hands sure were busy shoving words in my mouth. Too bad you didn’t try to make any logical points. Guess you just don’t have any. And no, mobs don’t have anywhere near the percent of support personal that the military has.

Correct. If there is one, then others have to exist to balance them out. Only with none can we all exist without militaries. And that really should be a goal.

Very much so. So ewhere there is a balance of having enough to be a stable country, but not so much to draw attention. But it’s a very small point to balance on.

Well, as you say. If you don’t pay your taxes, they will put you in jail. So you do have the free will to choose. You could of course also move to a country with a less interventionist military so that your taxes aren’t paying for it. In the US, kids from poor neighborhoods have very few job options. We don’t have good public transit, so they can only go so far for a job. Moving is usually out of the question expensewise because they are living with their parents already. For many who end up in combat roles, it is often a choice between making a living via crime or the military. At least with the military they have a decent chance to become a productive citizen after a few years. So it is the better of two bad options. Others are just not too bright. They have no idea how the military is used. They just hear the words of a sweet talking recruiter telling them how good a person they will be for signing up. It’s hard to blame them for being dumb. I am not saying noone in the military is a bad person. But I am saying that not all are. The US military has like a 50% resign rate. You could say the ones that sign up for a second tour are choosing of thier own free will, with thier eyes open. That I will agree to.

Hm, the percent of drug dealers and mobsters that don’t have an active combat like role is very very low. But the military has people like doctors and nurses among other very much non combat roles. So it isn’t really a fair comparison. And some people join the military to avoid becoming a drug dealer or mobster. It’s a step up, mostly because it is legal. And for some, they do one tour and then become productive members of society. That happens far less with drug dealers and mobsters. So at least give them the respect for choosing not to become a drug dealer or mobster.

Weather channel negative humidity… either way, it’s a far cry from the 20% this thing seems to be designed for.

I don’t know much about the SA. But my understanding was that the SS required a person to be pretty fanatical. So that is a little different than just joining the regular army to be a cook or something. It really would be more of a person by person determination, than a sweeping generalization of everyone who joined the military. There were and are certainly plenty of people who join looking to become murderers and such. But in todays military, that percentage is a lot lower then back there. There is just a lot more jobs that lead to a better career, and are often the only way many people can get to that stable life. This is of course one of the reasons they don’t want college to be free. It’s thier hook for a lot of people.

Um… If they really had a choice, the vast majority would not join the military. There are exceptions of course. But most feel they have no other options. Just like technically you don’t have to pay your taxes (you can file a form to have nothing withheld from your paycheck). But it is the best choice if you want to make a living. So still, very much valid.

Doesn’t SoCal sometimes have negative humidity? 20% seems pretty high to say it works in the desert.

Paying your taxes makes you a much bigger war enabler than the non combat military. And with taxes, you not only enable your country to go to war. You enable other countries to do so too, as your gov pays for weapons to give them. The fact is, noone is innocent. And the people truely causing the wars for thier own interest just want us to blame each other instead of them. Clearly, you are giving them what they want.

Thats the trick. If a country doesn’t have a military and they have something like resources other countries want. The become puppets of the countries that have militaries. The exceptions are small countries that don’t have enough of anything anyone wants for others to bother taking it. They don’t tend to do so well usually. It’s a race to the bottom.

I know the nuance will be hard for some. So I will start by saying that I am very against the actions of our government, and have been since a pretty young. But, the vast majority of our troops are in the military because it was the best or maybe only option to make a living. And that is the way the government design the economy. They make sure people have no or few other choices. Now compare what the military is doing to distract from the epstien files to what the billionaire class is doing. Then look at who you work for. Odds are your job in some way supports the very people who made epstien possible. So we are all complicit. Yet we all have little choice but to work. So instead of pointing your anger at someone who just like you is complicit. Point it at the people actually responsible.

Portal. It’s older than you think, but still solid.

Yeah, that was pretty soft. I guess it was not suitable for many workplaces, but not universally so.

True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.

Totally agree. He doesn’t actualy fix things, just talks about it. Then waffles on the idea after the check clears.

Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.

I’m trying to think what NSFW football would be like. They have some very NSFW wrestling videos out there.

This is one of the things people don’t get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn’t make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn’t actually “do” anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.

I don’t think the bubble will burst like we are used to. AI is part of the arms race between nations. So they will shore the industry up at all costs. As for the choice to shut down the brand. It will be years before all that infra gets built. Better to sit the time out and revive the brand when prices are reasonable enough that hobbyists and such are willing to pay them.
