  • It'll be fine as long as you don't try and start it up again within a few minutes of turning it off.

    Pressure just needs to slowly bleed from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the compressor before it starts again, so that it isn't initially stalled against high pressure.

  • love that it has to repeat my command back to me before executing it

    This is inserted to give enough time for the LLM to process your command. Otherwise Google would have to pony up for a lot more compute horsepower to make it performant.

  • "automated decision systems "

    "IF X THEN Y" satisfies this description.

    Soooo basically just take the handbrake off practically every chunk of software ever written then?

  • Are you familiar with https://old.reddit.com/

    How much longer do you think Reddit will keep an option that doesn't maximise end user engagement metrics?

  • I was reliably informed at the start of the year that the US was just days away from the best jobs, the biglyest paychecks, and a golden age.

    Was I misled‽

  • None of this stands up to any sort of robust critical thinking, which is sadly lacking in LLMs.

    Eg. All your "high performing" worker input relies on skills gained elsewhere , and others have already asserted that the time spent doing one job is not directly equivalent to the time spent doing another job.

    All your renewable energy sources rely on external inputs to manufacture or obtain. "We'll just use solar panels and battery storage and avoid all the centralised systems", you fail to understand the enormous resources needed to create such items in bulk, which is what you'll need when making hyper local energy systems.

    Essentially, your dream society is leeching off capitalism to exist, and this seems to directly go against its lofty ideals.

  • It's much more fun to just half-ass a new control panel with only a few features, and then hide the old, fully-functional control panel.

    Bonus points if you can then begrudgingly finally show the old, useful, control panel when a user clicks 6 layers deep in the new panel.

  • "Wuh-wuh-wuh", using pronunciation similar to the start of "wow" or "woman"

  • "Why do people do X, when in my opinion if you disregard the two top reasons for doing X, it's pointless? Prove to me that it would be better!?"

  • "Default judgement", meaning nobody turned up to plead their case in whatever court and jurisdiction this was in.

    So this woman sold 1 shirt, someone else sold 275,000, someone else sold 1200 coffee mugs, and so on and so forth until Grumpy Cat Enterprises™ gets the shits and goes to court with a case against multiple plaintiffs. Then in the absence of any defense all the alleged guilty parties get slapped with a default USD100K. The lawyers take 60 percent for fees and GCE gets a potential income of a few million or so.

    All of which means very fucking little if the judgement is in East Texas and you're in South East Asia as it's going to be pretty tough to collect, but it might mean something if you live in Australia. Being a civil matter, it's pretty unlikely to go any further than being a note in a file somewhere, I'm not even sure if this could get on to Australian credit reports.

    But the single sale of a shirt just before all this happened sounds extremely suspicious, like a fishing expedition to get enough people to make it worthwhile to go to court.

  • But I need my land barge to potentially carry 9000 pounds and 6 people for at least 400 miles without a break, even if I can barely manage to satisfy one of those criteria once a year. Otherwise it's a miserable failure that must be mocked.

  • Australia here, I have a 100GB plan with unlimited calls Australia-wide for AUD40 a month. With the current miserable exchange rate with the US, that's about USD25/mo.

    And any unused data rolls over each month so now I have (checks)..... 4.22TB of data available, because I have a dual-sim phone and my work sim does all the heavy data usage.

  • Thankfully, science will inevitably sus those papers out eventually, as it always does,

    In the future, all search engines will have an option to ignore any results from 2022-20xx, the era of AI slop.

  • "Ohhhh, that tired old OS was using AI 1.6. We've been offering the new OS -now with AI 1.8 - for 7 solid weeks now! We recommend you upgrade now, as we're shutting down AI 1.6 on Tuesday."

  • Warmest winter on record, so far.

  • AEC does a good job of nudging people into getting their enrolment details organised. I changed addresses a little while ago, and it was 30 seconds online to update, with confirmation a few days later via SMS and email.

  • Well, anything's possible, I say we give it a try and see what happens.

  • My son ordered me a cube with a bit of silver from the US, it's part of a periodic table set.

    It was delayed a little, and when it arrived at his door there was a little note from Australian customs basically saying, "This is cool and everything, but don't go ordering the radioactive elements from this place unless you have all the right paperwork, ok?"

  • Have you tried.......

    you know,

    (cough)

    maybe just, ah ....

    (air quotes) "heavily implying"

    the , ah, you know .....

    particular.....

    (taps side of nose)

    ah, torrent

    in

    (eyebrow waggle)

    ahem,

    QUESTION?

    Eh?

    Ehhhhh?

  • Change your thought patterns. Minimise their actions in your mind.

    They are not "psychopaths", they are just "idiots".

    They do not "counterattack", there is no "attack" from your side. They are just "being a nuisance". Frame all the bumps and thumps as renovations if you want.

    When they make a noise, turn UP your tv, just a little, so you can hear it over it. "Gee those renovations of theirs are a bit noisy, maybe I should put in a complaint."

    When they rattle the ceiling of their apartment, "Hey it must be time to vacuum, thanks for reminding me. I'll do it now while you're renovating and making noise so it doesn't disturb you too much".

    "I hear that plants respond to music so I'm just going to leave some on for Ferris, my pot plant, while I go out shopping for a few hours this morning" - Not too loud, just loud enough for Ferris to enjoy it. If you hear a lot of thumping it must be just them taking the opportunity to renovate while you can't hear them. I do hope they don't damage their ceiling with all that thumping while you're out, oh well.

    All that activity on their part takes a lot of energy, your activities take very little. Which one do you think is going to end first?
