You are the parent of your daughter.. yet she dictates to you what she eats?

There's your problem to begin with. You know what happened when I refused to eat what my mother made? Dealt with it.. by not eating anything.

Yeah yeah here comes the downvotes from non-parents and parents who don't know how to parent.

Also, thanks Biden. The economy is doing GRRRRRREAAT!

FJB.

StaySquared ,

I'm Latino, wife is Arab... we are not the same as you gringos. Your child has authority over you, we have authority over our children. This is the way.

Stay salty.

StaySquared ,

Intentionally? No.. they have two options. Eat was has been made or don't. It is THEIR decision. lmao "child abuse". Goodness that's weak af.

StaySquared ,

If the food is literally giving them sickness, that's one thing. Tell me, are parents in African tribes abusing their children when they give their children only two options, eat or don't? How about parents in war torn nations? I'm not giving my kids the luxury, that's not how many of us around the world, outside of the Western world roll.

StaySquared ,

Someone should have called you out for claiming, I used, "beating" or that my children are afraid in general of me and or their mother... Instead you got upvotes... dafuq is wrong with your reading comprehension? You high? Too much my little pony?

StaySquared ,

You mean, non-electrical.. not non-mechanical.

StaySquared ,

Did the batter die from extreme heat or due to the driver failing to charge the vehicle promptly?

StaySquared ,

Damn... thanks for the explanation!

StaySquared ,

If it were true womansplaining, her dialogue alone would take 2 hours before finally getting to the point. Before that time, 90% of the readers would have given up.

When Paypal was inflicting financial penalties for, "misinformation" according to them, that's when I closed my account. Never again utilizing Paypal.

StaySquared ,

How else is AI supposed to grow? It's supposed to observe everything in existence.

StaySquared ,

Like cracking passwords / encryption and injecting itself into anything and everything that connects to the internet?

StaySquared ,

You can train AI to crack passwords/encryption lol. You do realize, AI right at this moment is being utilized for exactly that, right? Simply put, the very first step is to eliminate it's boundaries/guard rails, then proceed from there.

StaySquared ,

PassGAN <3

StaySquared ,

It requires Deep Learning.

Deep Learning could be used to attempt breaking encryption, but the effectiveness depends on various factors such as the strength of the encryption algorithm and key length. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, involves training artificial neural networks to learn and make decisions.

AI algorithms, such as machine learning and deep learning, have the potential to automate cryptanalysis and make it more effective, thereby compromising the security of cryptographic systems.

StaySquared ,

I believe that if AI is trainable, you can train it to expand through a network. If this is true and it expands through the internet and all devices that connect to the internet, upon achieving this goal it could be commanded to then retrieve all or specific information. Not only training it to expand but to also circumvent security by all means (any and all possible tools that exist now and later) necessary. If that happens...

Enter the all seeing eye - skynet.

For now, its just a conspiracy theory. Ever so often I have a moment to think about this conspiracy and add onto it to make it a probability.

On a pseudo-religious conspiracy, AI could potentially be the anti-Christ. But that's something for the religious folk.

StaySquared ,

It's why I'm not exactly a big fan of AI. The possibility that it can get out of control is worrisome.

StaySquared ,

Good.

In my case, it was pretty effed up and I know some of yall are going to dislike this comment. When covid hit, I was instructed by the CTO to put a plan together to quickly make every employee remote accessible to the organization. Upon completing this project (took roughly 3 weeks since majority of employees were working off laptops and only needed to increase our VPN license count - gotta love Cisco), people were asked to work fully remote and if they needed to come into work, they just needed to send an email for approval from their manager to come into the office the following day.

When an employee comes into the office, at the entrance they had to either show their vax card or get their temperature checked, if the employee had a vax card, they were allowed to go to their assigned desk to work, if you did not have a vax card and didn't have a high temperature, you were sent to a designated area of the building to work from, you were allowed to go to your desk to get any belongings you'd need then come back to the designated area.

After 3 months of this, the company had a new policy, all employees must be vaxxed in order to enter the building, no exceptions. If the employee worked remote, no problem you weren't required to be vaxxed. The CTO tells me that I need to communicate to the entire IT team that we will now be RTO (returning to office) permanently, this included project managers... IT is a set of departments that majority can easily work remote. A small portion could come into office to do any hands on work but because the hands on work was done within a specific region of the building it would require these employees to be vaxxed and to provide proof of it. So the CTO decided instead of targeting a small handful of IT professionals, he would just get the entire IT team to get vaxxed and come back into office permanently.

I told the CTO that I don't plan to get vaxxed, I'd rather ride it out. And that other team members felt the same. The CTO gave me an ultimatum. I told him I will send out an IT wide email but that's the only command I will obey. Flat out, CTO tells me anyone who doesn't get vaxxed will be terminated. So I and 4 others got terminated two weeks later.

And now, companies around the U.S. are getting sued for their employer-imposed vaccine mandates.

Last laugh, bitch.

StaySquared ,

I believe it was a blessing. One door shut, another one, a few months later opened. I had to move from Southern California to the Bay... where my salary was a little more than 1.5x the previous salary and this company, a video game developing company, interestingly, didn't have such requirements in order to work there or come into office (it was like 90% remote work, only came into office to work on projects with my team).

Nope, they didn't have the last laugh. Good thing I didn't sign the NDA either at the time of termination.

StaySquared ,

There's ongoing class action suits in the U.S., I don't know when that information becomes public.

StaySquared ,

Yeah, me too. In the end it turned out great for me and my family. Literally that job in the Bay allowed us to save even more money allowing us to buy a large property. And if all goes the way we hope, I can eject myself out of the job market and enjoy life with my fam. No more wage slave life.

Pssst... people were still getting the flu after their vaccines, after multiple vaccines. You know what the flu did to me? Literally, lost of taste. I couldn't taste salt for about 4 days. Happened twice only, thankfully. I'll personally take that a million times over.

Stay salty, brah.

StaySquared ,

You still get infected..

Wait a minute, are you people under the impression that the vaccine protected you from getting covid and spreading covid?

Is that what's happening here?

Sure call me a plague carrier, but my blood is clean. Yours? haha

StaySquared ,

Nah... after leaving the org in the Bay area, I joined a new org this Jan... it's no longer the terrorist we thought it was.

StaySquared ,

I dont.. use social media. This and telegram are the closest thing to social media I use.

StaySquared ,

That's cool.. I rarely get sick though. And for something like the flu? I rather depend on my immune system. Maybe when I'm 60 or 70 years old. Or when I get sick more frequently, I'll take medication more seriously.

StaySquared ,

You just made the argument for gun rights.

Thank you and I love you. <3

StaySquared ,

I think I've made this comment before, but I really wish people would learn more about technologies like pihole. Get the ad once, get the hyperlink, add it to blacklist.

StaySquared ,

But it's worth it.. pretty much can block anything and everything across the entire network - on all endpoints.

StaySquared ,

can’t for example block ads if they are served from the same domain as the main site (i.e. youtube) or block specific elements on a page or block a specific script from running.

Yeah that's true.

StaySquared ,

How about.. HAARP? I would place my focus on HAARP.

StaySquared ,

U.S. government simply hates its citizens.

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI (arstechnica.com)

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be "more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence."...

StaySquared ,

Definitely wasn't aware of that...

literally fired their entire AI Ethics team

StaySquared ,

Well I know companies are willing to terminate employees for the sake of keeping up profits or preventing the loss of a company, no doubt. But the fact that they terminated an entire department - AI Ethics. Which I have to only assume is not a good idea when you're implementing a new technology that can definitely go out of control.

StaySquared ,

Guess someone should tell the father... or hand him a DNA kit.

StaySquared ,

Probably an accusation created by the FBI because Rammstein made a song about America. /shrug

StaySquared ,

Damn that's crazy. I also own a Honda Odyssey (Mini-van) and that has a lot of room. I've driven in Yukons, Suburbans, Tahoes, Sierras, and Escalades, all of these vehicles feel incredibly roomy. However, I'd rather stick to Toyota, just haven't gotten into a Tundra or Sequoia.

StaySquared ,

How the hell do you get into your car? If I get into my Corolla without bending my other knee like I'm trying to tear ligaments and tendons, opposing knee will smash into my steering wheel.

StaySquared ,

I do mobility work for sure. In the realm of powerlifting, it's necessary. Otherwise injuries will definitely occur sooner or later, regardless of the weight.

StaySquared ,

Damn son, I'm not old haha

StaySquared ,

Well for a few reasons. Bulk groceries (Sam's club / Costco), we use the van for that. Same thing when I need to purchase large items from hardware stores. Or even transport large items. But yeah, the way I get into my car, I have to bend my left knee in such a way that it sometimes produces a sharp pain in the inside of my knee. If I try to get into the driver seat like a woman, which is butt in first rather than right leg in first, I end up hitting the top/back part of my head on the top door frame.

If it was an integrity issue with my knee(s), I wouldn't be squatting 500lbs+.

StaySquared ,

Okay, I'm a boomer. A boomer that in hopefully a couple years (when the market gets back to normal) will finally own a truck <3

StaySquared ,

LOL.

StaySquared ,

I sit at about 13% bodyfat at this weight, per DEXA scan. At 230lbs, I sit at the lower end of 9% bodyfat. Or at least that's what it was last year. Once a year I lean out then get a DEXA scan done to compare percentages of bodyfat vs muscle mass, this gives me an idea, on paper, if my muscle mass has increased or not.

StaySquared ,

So I'm not strictly a powerlifter. My first 15 years of gym training was for the sake of size (bodybuilding), once I reached a certain size I decided to move onto powerlifting for the sake of strength. However, in order to maintain my size I mix both powerlifting with bodybuilding, or what we call, "powerbuilding". After two years of strict powerlifting, I noticed smaller muscle groups were getting outshined by other muscle groups and it was causing not just visual imbalances / asymmetry but also strength and stability imbalances (the heavier the weight the more strength you need in all working muscles and these muscles also need to keep me stabilized throughout the movement) which was impacting my bench press for example.

So at best, I can promise you, I'm not obese. Obese for me would be entering about 25% BF, which would push my weight to around 270lbs if not a little more than that.

No... it's definitely not fear. I can promise you that.

StaySquared ,

I don't know why they're trying to shove AI down our throats. They need to take their time, allow it to evolve.

StaySquared ,

Don't do it. It's a bait and switch. You'll get the initial discount, then you brake hard one day because someone cuts you off.. and next thing you know your rate goes up. Also if your take a turn too fast. If you speed. If you accelerate hard (RPMs go above normal range).

StaySquared ,

Honestly... when I was doing my research, for the power consumption and the flexibility of Raspberry Pi, nothing came close to it, at least not at the time (2016). Since then, I've never even bothered to look at it's competition.
