You realize we haven’t given them actual money, right?

And I doubt they are paying OpenAI with tanks.

We are sending them old equipment, and spending the “money” on replacing that old equipment with new equipment.

In fact, it’s great for the US. Get rid of old stuff, get new stuff in its place, create jobs and stimulate the economy in the process. It’s win win win.

Apart from the fact that the US spends way too fucking much on military, but it was going to happen regardless

Agreed, and I was overly simplifying for brevity. Though it’s still not us just handing them billions of dollars to do whatever they want.

I’m definitely going to keep that article handy though, I appreciate the link.

If you need a tank, and have no money for a tank, you don’t magically get “tank money” when someone gives you a free tank…

They likely sold barely any of them. They were nigh impossible to get during the pandemic, and virtually no one wanted them after the fact.

… you really decided doubling down on the nonsense was going to disprove my statement?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

Oof if that’s the case I legit feel bad for my last response to them…

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Oof dude. Hope you get some help because these are not normal responses to everyday things. That’s just not healthy.

The security is pretty much theatre. Anyone who isn’t an idiot acting on a whim will be able to get anything (within reason) they want past security and onto a plane.

Take a look at the stats on the number of incidents airport security has actually stopped. You see a whole bunch of “airport security stopped this number of guns/knives/etc” but 99.999999% of them were just people forgetting them in the wrong bag.

Hell, I brought a knife onto a plane at least a half dozen times by accident, only realizing when the knife I lost months before fell out at a hotel.

“I’ve had worse jobs, and my current job is unrealistically laid back for the field being talked about. Everyone else is a baby.”

This is what you sound like.

Here’s a thought: Different people have different experiences in similar jobs.

Here’s another: Different people experience things differently, because they are different people.

As a software developer, I don’t understand the premise of your suggestion.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

To be fair, last update isn’t the end all be all. If the project is in a stable place, and there haven’t been any breaking changes, there’s just no need to update.

Who has access to the back end data, and the ability within it to change any data they want?

Because a group of people with this power exists, whether or not you believe they will act upon it.

That isn’t at all why the two systems were being criticized, and trying to frame it like that is extremely disingenuous.

None if the above. It’s a site level for anyone from within the UK.

https://mxroute.com/ currently offers “lifetime” with 10GB combined storage, unlimited mailboxes, unlimited domains, for $129. I bought it a year or so back, no complaints.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

That was my thought process when I got it, and it was only $99 when I purchased. As long as the host (one man show unfortunately) remains, I’ve got a reliable email system in place. And he does an amazing job of keeping off spam lists.

An issue a lot of people don’t think about is placement. If you’ve got the fob directly next to a device that’s broadcasting WiFi, you’re gonna have a bad time. Similarly, if it’s surrounded by thick wood or metal, you’re not going to have decent signal.

$30 could definitely fix those issues.

Just as an addition, it also lets you lock down remote usage, toggle the lights, and check for motion.

It’s to do with the ability to work with data across all open workbooks:

You can reference [Workbook.xlsx]Sheet1!B2 but if you have two excel workbooks open, both named Workbook.xlsx which one should be used?

It doesn’t.

Why have the same arguments over and over.

You realize the main thing said in this thread apart from people complaining about it, are all people saying “just switch to Linux.”

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Why did you say it already happens in phone and SMS communication, then name a company that does neither, and reference other services that explicitly are neither, as an example of this happening?

“People are already dying from stubbing their toe, just look at all the deaths caused by car accidents!”

KairuByte , 2 months ago

<.< At you unfamiliar with quest a strawman is? I never stated what your position was, I just repeated what you yourself did, and gave a similar example. Unless you thought I was saying your position was about stubbing toes?…

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Yeah, I’m not putting in this amount of effort to continue this. You clearly know how to twist things, good job. Still wasn’t a strawman, and doesn’t change the fact that your comment was misleading.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Sure, it’s $0.02 now, but in a few years that’ll be precedent and you’ll start asking for $0.04. I’m on to your game!

The vast majority of consumers don’t understand the technology being used at any point in worldwide infrastructure, many times including the tech in their own home.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Yeeeeeah…

Many of these I agree with. Then you get into things like github and LinkedIn. Dropping GitHub means not contributing to a huge swath of open source projects. Dropping LinkedIn is a great way to get your job application passed over (it’s literally required for some companies…. For some dumb reason.)

You’re not describing a problem with AI, you’re describing a problem with a layer between you and the AI.

The censorship isn’t actually as smart as they’d like. They give what is essentially a list of things that the LLM can’t talk about, and if the pattern matches it, it kills the entire thread.

Which is what happened here. M$ set some arbitrary “omg this is bad” rules, and in the process of describing things it hit that “omg bad” flag. My guess is that the LLM was going into examples of incorrect conclusions, and would have pivoted to “but the actual fact is…” which the filters don’t have the ability to parse out.

In the end, again, this isn’t an AI issue. This is an issue with making it globally available and wanting to ensure your LLM doesn’t say something controversial. Essentially, this is a preemptive PR move.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

Have you seen what it takes to go even close to “full conservative”, nevermind full Nazi? Take a look at the Gab AI prompt, and it still goes against most of the biases insisted upon by that prompt.

You’re thinking of much earlier attempts at this which were based purely on user provided input.

KairuByte , 2 months ago

My point was that even trying to (badly) introduce bias towards bad science doesn’t work. The naked LLM being told “the sky is pink” still says the sky is blue.

Now, you can put in real effort and get it to output biased results (“role play as a badly trained LLM that thinks there are only two genders”) but that doesn’t change the fact that the base LLM wouldn’t respond like that.

As someone who regularly ships items with a slip of paper meant to be read, this was infuriating to read. Lmao

KairuByte , 2 months ago

When you’re shipping one item, sure... kinda. When you’re shipping five, it doesn’t make sense to tape the exact same thing to every single one. Especially if the paper is bigger than the item.

We typically affix it to the invoice and package so it’s seen first thing. That’s the best solution we’ve come up with.

Purely for storage, no processing? I just finally got around to checking pricing and went with Backblaze B2. Not certain it’s the best, or cheapest, but I’m serving files out of it through cloudflare and it seemed to be a decent choice.

I know this is a joke, but putting everything on ramdisk wouldn’t actually stop many different issues. There are hardware level infections these days.
