There was a famous physicist. Maybe Einstein or Feynman who said to the effect "anyone who claims to understand quantum mechanics most certainly does not"

Why would I be hurt? I don't think it's a good faith question most of the time. Which is why I gave the answer I did.

There's a lot to gleen from why the person is asking the question. It's not a good faith question. They already have their answer. I wouldn't engage it other than to ask another question like "why do you ask?" or "why does it matter?"

Not working efficiently enough is the key. RTFM is a skill and it takes patience and practice. Investing that time is worth it as it is ultimately the fastest way. And you learn peripheral information along the way. If getting the job done now, then do what works for you.

I would however warn against watching video. Watching videos is the slowest way to learn something. Think about how often you watch at 4x only to jump around and miss what you are looking for. Compare that to using a wiki or an old fashion book. Skimming and jumping around is much easier. But once again, do what works for you.

Death threats are far beyond unacceptable, but it's naive to think this policy is without consequence. It can take as few as 3 non-personal pieces of information (examples of personal: name, phone number, street address, SSN) to uniquely identify someone. Say the kind of car you drive, your employer, and your hair color. Together those are form a strong identifier, but now add age BY DEFAULT. Even a weak set becomes unique.

That is incredibly consequential. You could be implicated in a crime you didn't commit, protesting becomes impossible, and everything you do or say will ALWAYS follow you. The balance between citizen and government becomes irrevesibly skewed. Just because your computer will volunteer your age.

This issue should be the issue we care about the most.

Relatively inconsequential law? Relative to what?

If addiction is a disease

 

You should not cook pasta in water as salty as the ocean, and there is such a thing as too much garlic.

Edit: I liberally but not excessively use salt in pasta water and garlic in dishes which include garlic.

 

How did it turn out?

 

What do you boycott? e.g. games, music, shows, food

 

No CEOs or politicians

 

E.g. ollama/hugging face

 

This all began when the power went out this morning. I have several wireless routers, a network switch, and a starlink modem/router. Internet comes into the starlink box which has it's own network called 'MyLink'. From the box, it gets split to a network switch, which connects to all of the ethernet jacks and a second wireless router called 'MyLan'. The starlink has a second output that connects to a third wireless router called 'MyLink2'

The problem is I can connect to LAN and ping other computers, but they only operational internet over wifi is from 'MyLan'. It will work wherever I connect it over ethernet. NONE of the other routers has internet for phones or laptops. With the mindfuck of an exception of a smart TV which can get internet over MyLink2! None of the ethernet works for anything other than wherever MyLan is connected. I've tested it several places.

The connected to internet light is on for all routers and I've done a factory reset for all routers except the one that is working. Anyone have any ideas? I'm losing my god damn mind over this one. I remember a few years ago I had to contact my isp to reset my connection from their end. Could that solve the problem?

 

Not something I believe full stop, but imo there are signs that should there be a bubble, it will pop later than we may think. A few things for consideration.

Big tech continues to invest. They are greedy. They aren't stupid. They have access to better economic forcasting than we do. I believe they are aware of markets for the /application/ of AI which will continue to be profitable in the future. Think of how many things are pOwErEd By ArTiFiCiAl InTelIGence. That's really speak for we have api tokens we pay for.

Along these lines comes the stupid. Many of us have bosses who insist, if not demand, we use AI. The US Secretary of Defense had his own obnoxious version if this earlier this week. If the stupid want it, the demand will remain if not increase.

Artificial intellegence is self replicating, meaning if we feed it with whatever stupid queries we make, it will "get better" at the specifics and "create more versions". This creates further reliance and demand on those products that "do exactly what we want". It's an opiate. Like that one tng episode with the headsets (weak allusion and shameless pandering I know)

IMO generative AI is a dead end which will only exacerbate existing inequity. That doesn't mean there won't continue to be tremendous buy in which will warp our collective culture maintaining it's profitability. If the bubble bursts, I don't think it will be for a while.
