I was so stunned when I left college and realized how much I have to limit my vocabulary around most people. It made me feel distant from many of my peers.
To be fair, there are a lot of things that you learn in college that are supposed to be specialized for your field of study.
I was told that I was being condescending when I use words that nobody else understands. To put it in the words of one boss: @inetknght, you're smart and you do good work. But, @inetknght, you can't handle stupid. So I have to move you to another team.
It was kind've eye-opening to realize that stupid people don't just exist. They're all around us. Always have been. Being moved to my own team of one just so people wouldn't feel dumb around me definitely made me feel distant too.
AFAIK there has never been an actual evidence-based study for how long and how often you should brush and floss.
The National Institute of Health has a ton of public-paid studies. Did you even bother to search it before making your astounding claim? https://www.nih.gov
Just one search for nih brush time shows several studies. Let me just link the top two...
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19723429/ -> "This study was undertaken to measure plaque removal during untutored brushing over timed periods between 30 and 180 seconds with"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16355646/ -> "This review shows that there is consensus in the literature that (meticulous) tooth brushing once per day is sufficient to maintain oral health and to prevent caries and periodontal diseases. Tooth brushing is also regarded as an important vehicle for application of anti-caries agents, such as fluorides. However, most patients are not able to achieve sufficient plaque removal by performing oral hygiene measures at home. Therefore, tooth brushing twice daily is recommended by most of the dentists in order to improve plaque control."
OP poses one question with two parts. The first study answers the time (2-3 minutes) part. The second link answers the other part (twice daily).
Give it time. Cell phones are getting more powerful every day.
As for misinformed... sure it's possible. But I doubt it. Llama isn't chat gpt but it runs pretty well on my machine. Is it perfect? No, of course not. Neither is ChatGPT. But it's "good enough" for what I need it for, and it certainly could be "good enough" for many other users.
What's the gain of a LLM for a virus? Well that... is a little more esoteric. It's about as esoteric as encrypting hard drives. Crypto malware isn't always a virus either. Imagine a LLM in a virus used to determine if a given file's content is worth extracting from the device. I haven't yet figured out all of the side ventures but I can see a use for it.
How could an intelligence that requires massive amounts of CPU, RAM, and database storage even concievably
What you define as "massive" amounts might still be large amounts for most consumers. But even then it's not... really. Developers frequently fit these models in their own laptops. Some of the ML models fit on an iPhone or Android phone. It can generate ten, or hundreds of words (tokens) per second.
So the fact that they don't need massive amounts of CPU, RAM, and database storage is rather the point. Imagine if it could escape and multiply. It could conceivably do so quite quickly given current technology.
Cinnamon is, straight up, the best. The only annoying part is that damn debugger thing that shows up that damn and useless LookingGlass thing which defaults to Super+L. Super+L definitely should be Lock Screen instead.
...that's assuming that apps actually respect that environment variable. The problem is that if the app is writing to ${HOME} then they're already not following XDG spec.
Yes it's true. Why go to the office just to be on Zoom all day? I can do that at home and save myself some money. More importantly: I can do that from home and save myself the time it would take to drive to or from the office. Not to mention that I could be on Zoom all day from home and save myself the stress of driving around maniacs. Last, but not least, I could do it all from home and the company could save money by not paying for an office.
I work from home so that I don't have to go to the office.
I don't have to go to the office.
Let me work fewer days. 4x10 days would be nice. From home. So I don't have to go to the office.
I don't want to go to the office just to be on Zoom all day anyway. It's a waste of time, a waste of carbon, and a waste of company money on the office space.
Take the time estimates that this bully gives you. Tell them the time estimates are way off. Take their estimate, multiply it by three. So, if it would have taken 3 days, then it will really take 9 -- that's two whole weeks of 40 hours each. If it would have taken 3 months then it will really have taken 9 months.
When you get a calendar invite and this asshole bully accepts it for you, make sure to include that cost in your time estimate.
And make sure to stick to your 8 hours each day. If you didn't get work done because some asshole bully filled your calendar with meetings and left you with no time to work, and then also made stupid decisions about the entire codebase, make sure to report that to your manager. Your manager needs to know when time estimates are going to slip.
That dipshit will start to figure out how much time it really takes to get work done. It might take a while though for that to be learned so bear with it.
Today I learned "high cocoa chocolate" is a natural food.
... wait, is that right? Chocolate is a processed food. Chocolate isn't a natural food. High-cocoa chocolate is a processed food. High-cocoa chocolate isn't a natural food.
If it's a child that's putting things on the stove that don't belong there (or any other hot surface) then it's a child that needs to be taught better by their parents.
