I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.

I thought you said it was “frustrating” seeing some with nuance get upvoted and I appreciated the sarcasm on that and the sincerity in this one

Sorry I can’t finish this meme. I got to the second one and I was two tired.

Your username is almost relevant though

I’m probably just stupid.

I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.

Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.

You did good work homie!

This + Local Wikipedia + My own writings would be sick

1. Mad its clickbait

2. Don’t care cause Michaelsoft bad

Based.

Gods, I’m considering Job hopping and I saw Lockheed was hiring for my role, less experience, less certs, full remote, and quadruple my pay.

I had to block them on indeed and LinkedIn. I hated that I was considering it.

One of the guys I went to college with is an amazing programmer and had such a great understanding of C that hes why i got as far into CS as i did, couldn’t get a job after grad because 1) Covid and more importantly 2) he’s insufferable.

He got a job making $100k a year for I wanna say Lockheed because he quote “Wrote good looking code”. That’s all they needed because Tue DoD already told them that the project he was hired for was not going to be adopted, but they were still contracted for minimum 2 more years of development and Lockheed would be in breach of contract if they weren’t making progress even though it was already Dead.

The Military industrial complex is JUST a grift to put tax dollars in private hands.

That’s cool.

Proton drive Linux support when?

Playing with it locally is the best way to do it.

Ollama is great and believe it or not I think Googles Gemma is the best for local stuff right now.

Why do those trees have cloacas

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

“Well it’s good to know weird shit happens everywhere in this damn universe. And I was enthralled by your personal logs. Sorry, we had to listen to them just in case you were holding back Borg Intel or something, and I just wanted to personally thank you for not trying to talk that Neelix guy into coming back with you. My stars, you gave him a cooking show?”

“These were dire times, admiral.”

Folks reading way too much into this lol.

reads too much into it

The joke is they died!

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”

And it said

“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”

Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.
