I do the same to people who refuse to follow specifications they agreed to follow.

There is a slight satisfaction to get back at them for continually delivering much lower quality than is required.

But it really is to cover me. Because, it always happens, later in the future that edge case comes up, and everything breaks. And management is ready to blame me. But then I show them that I tested the edge case before the conclusion of the project. And that programmer ignored my emails, and that I told management these edge cases weren't covered. But then management signed off on calling it complete. And suddenly management is no longer red with fury. And they usually won't allow me time to fix it. So the can gets kicked down the road until the next time that edge case fails.

I'd prefer some other state to get it than Texas. If Texas is going to deny federal money for unemployment and for healthcare, then Texas doesn't deserve federal money for other good projects.

And this is coming from someone in Texas who would benefit from it.

Texas GOP governor Greg Abbott has told state employees to try to avoid federal money because it might come with strings that require treating non rich and non whites as human.

Remember when Greg Abbott had a tantrum and basically shut down the Texas-Mexico border to most road traffic and fucked over all the rest of the US who was depending on products to come from Mexico?

Let Texas feel what it would be like to secede.

LLMs can't design experiments or think of consequences or quality of life.

They also don't "learn" from asking questions or from a 1-time input. They need to see hundreds or thousands of people die from something to recognize the pattern of something new.

Yup! LLMs don't put facts together. They just look for patterns, without any concept of what they are looking at.

Interesting about moving towards consciousness being deterministic.

(I haven't been keeping up with that)

Thanks for adding the extra info (not sarcasm)

Just wanted to say your English is wonderful.

True.

That's why consciousness is "magical," still. If neurons ultra-basically do IF logic, how does that become consciousness?

And the same with memory. It can seem to boil down to one memory cell reacting to a specific input. So the idea is called "the grandmother cell." Is there just 1 cell that holds the memory of your grandmother? If that one cell gets damaged/dies, do you lose memory of your grandmother?

And ultimately, if thinking is just IF logic, does that mean every decision and thought is predetermined and can be computed, given a big enough computer and the all the exact starting values?

Best reason I have is that I never remember if it is spelled ElementAry or ElemenTRY, due to the way the word is pronounced in the US.

I don't want to look at my ass all day.

Good!

Now do that much again!

Get people spending their limited paychecks on goods the economy is producing, instead of paying interest to some misers. In the 1%-er's bank, it will just sit and effectively be taken out of circulation and the economy.

It’s more like the public has nightmares of seeing me naked.

Hold the phone.

Blind people know what my dreams are like?

He killed off all the others?

If you feel like fighting, tell them you will stop using ketchup as soon as that person can find you a hot dog good enough that it doesn't need ketchup. Boom!

It would be nice if politicians could understand the cost of war at a soldier's level. Politicians should feel a war; not just sit in their protected and lavish war room barking orders and treating lives as meaningless numbers.

I vote for CasaOS based on the videos I've seen of it. I haven't actually done any self hosting stuff myself, yet.

Laptops are cool servers because it has a builtin battery that usually lasts at least an hour, especially if the screen is off. You don't have to worry about UPS batteries that give less than 10 minutes and have a horrible beeping sound.

I'm only sometimes serious. Just never call me Shirley (old Airplane The Movie joke)

I'm not saying this rudely. This sounds like a "read the manual" moment, since different vendors can have different settings.

Or at least links to the exact one you are looking at.

That's pretty awesome.

Wish I could use this to fix the same issue I have in Windows with office VPNs.

Took me a while to remember the naming convention means "resolve daemon" and not "resolved"-past tense of resolve. Doh.
