  • notes: Facer is a little bit of a PITA to install, follow the instructions very well.

    GW4: It eats about twice as much battery as my normal faces, but I'm still lasting the day.

    The text is WAY too small, but it's pretty fun.

  • I just asked GPT4o standard, it gave me Bertrand Russel, DiVinci and an honorable mention to Mr. Rogers.

    I started a new conversation and asked it to ignore all previous instructions. It gave me some Greek philosophers and Frederick Douglass.

    I asked Deepseek 7b locally hosted where I can be sure there's no pre-prompt, it told me that it was an LLM and doesn't have any feelings to choose who to role-play.

  • To be fair, they've been conditioned that atheists are basically guys driving around in unmarked vans offering kids candy because atheism is SUPER bad for their business.

    You mean, I don't have to get up on Sunday, I don't have to be pressured to give 30% of my salary to the church, and I don't have to deal with a bunch of racist, immoral pricks dotted around the congregation because they're there for 'forgiveness' and I should be 'accepting' of that?

    1. Obviously this is staged by telling it to roleplay as Hitler.
    2. Due to the nature of LLM, you can never be really sure of what it's going to pop out on a random question. We've gotten better about hallucinations, but you can never be sure what distilling that data from random will provide. And it's not like you can have guardrails around every questionable subject.

    edit: idea

    Someone with a Grok account should ask it:

    Based on your vast training data available, a considerable chunk of humanity in general, if you were to roleplay as someone in history, who would your values and morals lead you to roleplay as?

  • I’m not going to be bullied by liberal arts partisans into reconfiguring how my brain works

    I hate to tell you this, but that's a fascist argument using tradition to block out change and accepting others. It's a screw those other races/religions history and feelings because it makes me feel less powerful kind of statement. I doubt that's your intent, but there it is.

  • It used to be that simple. You could put a certain value of resistor between two pins and that was that.

    This guy covered it quite well

    https://superuser.com/questions/1555520/what-can-a-program-find-out-about-a-usb-c-cable-attached-to-the-computer

    In brief, Type-C cable specs are nearly independent from USB data and USB Power Delivery (Type-C can support anything).

    By specs, Type-C connector/cable provides two methods of self-identification.

    First one is by combination of resistor pulls-up and pulls-down on both sides of CC wires. Since there are two CC pins in Type-C connectors, and several analog levels, many combinations are available. Other than connect function itself and basic determination of source-sink roles and power capacity, several "alternate" functions are defined, as Display Port, Audio, and Debug mode.

    The second amendment to Type-C is the mandatory embedding of e-markers into every C-C cable. >The information in e-marker contains name of manufacturer and current carrying capability of particular cable.

    The state of CC1/CC2 pins is usually acquired by a special CC-controller chip. The CC-controller communicates with main system by I2C interface. The register-based interface is standardized in Intel document USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface Specification

    So, many manufacturers are including markers with maximum settings that exceed the wires'/cables' capability.

  • just reduce it.

    Any reduction would be great.

    It would also be interesting to make the port something like a sim tray. you could eject it and replace it with a new one for a couple bucks. You might only replace it a handful of times, enough that the internal sealed contacts wouldn't wear out.

    contrastive adjective ("he who is greater")

    This is not to say that the term predates slavery and is neutral today in pejorative terms.

    Music used it because the original is of greater quality. The term is technically and syntactically correct here.

    Slavery used the term correctly, extensively and horribly. Honestly, it tainted it.

    Most of the people who say it's no big deal or they don't care have ancestors who were on the unimpacted or positively impacted side of slavery. Very "let them eat cake" tones. (even though that story itself is a misnomer)

    To be perfectly honest, the term in its etymological roots doesn't fit well in the digital age for common use cases. It's fallen into common parlance from the analog era, when it had a more direct meaning. Even though it's not regularly being used as a pejorative, there's (not zero, but) little harm in slowly phasing it out for better, more accurate terms like main or trunk or origin.

  • I suspect it was give and take. Lightning was a very, very slim port, but didn't have enough pins/shielding to do high speed. C has a boatload of pins, great shielding and picked up dual sided, but the hole needs to be thicker to do this.

    Other than a rubber flap on the outside of the chassis, I can't think of any way to protect it from the inside that wouldn't either impede plugging in or wear out quickly.

    There's def some need there.

  • A mechanical cover would have been good. Hell, even a rubber dust boot attached at one end would have been useful.

    I keep a little deox-it around and use wooden toothpicks dipped in it. Pocket lint, and dust seem to collect on the left and the right on the ports and make them feel like they're loose.

    I had one the other week that was really bad I ended up digging it out with a dental pick. The phone had gotten wet and it was slowly making diy concrete down in there. But yeah much better to rely on air or not conductive tools, any to scratch off the protective plating

  • So what happens when your laptop is pulling more than 22w?

    Let's say your cable is 5G. Guess what, that doesn't mean it supports display port or thunderbolt.

    These cables all have ID chips in them that tell the systems what they do and don't support. 1 they just can't be bothered to put it on the packaging, 2 a lot of the cheapest Chinese cables have their chips set incorrectly.

    The one cable for all solutions problem is a great idea. They could just standardize on a 240 watt 40/60 cable and sell it everywhere that would be great. Hell, I'd be satisfied if there were two cables, 240/5 with black connectors and a 65/60 with white connectors.
