Anecdotally I know a guy that was, errr, sensitive, about his size. When his son was born, he was horrified to learn his son was too small to be circumsized (btw, good fuck genital mutilation).

The kid’s mother commented that he is fooling no one about why that shocked him.

If I say my orange’s name in the other end of the house, he comes running to me yowling along the way.

The only thing I’ve figured out is that he recognizes that I’m not closeby him and he panics lol.

If he doesn’t come and I can’t find him, I know he’s sick or stressed. Only happened a handful of times over the past 13 years. If I’m away for a few days and he’s got a sitter, that is usually the biggest trigger.

He really needs a companion cat, but thats hard at 14.

I mean, fine. But its easier to fix human written slop over AI slop solely because of the sheer volume of AI slop.

In capable hands. Is the real issue. Too many people believe they are capable hands.

o.O my budget can be requested up to $2k/month.

$29/month is like… not using it lol

Maybe I’ll start asking the spam calls this

Hehehehe I DO get that vindication.

It was really fun, don’t get me wrong. I miss the small amount of extra power it had. The shifter was cool.

But the tire sensors kept going off, and the AC just dying and requiring me to do a fancy start sequence to get it going again was just impractical. Also it didn’t have smart cruise control, barely any storage space, max charge was like 210 miles, and the backup camera was almost useless.

That was a 2023 polestar 2, so i cant speak for other models or newer ones.

I bought a used 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 for $25k. 30k miles. I know its still not cheap, but the ask the batteries have a 100k+ warranty.

77kW 220-280 miles at 100% (though I rarely go beyond 90% for battery life). 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, all wheel drive, CCS charger with NACS adapters available. Tesla chargers max at 96kW just fyi, idk why. But a lot of quick chargers work better, there’s 2 65xkW, 4x180kW near me. There’s a 4x375kW and a 4x400kW on a regular distance trip I take. Those are stupid fast charging.

A standard 120v is 1.4kW max, and it works out to about 10%/11hrs. A 240v is much better (i can’t remember maybe its like 10kW) charges fully in about 8 hours.

Kia and Hyundai are awesome EVs. I’ve heard good things about Subaru’s. The Chevy Bolt I’ve heard less good about. Toyota’s EVs are disappointing. Avoid Polestar - they aren’t allowed to sell in the US anymore anyway, but the car has a fancy interior and is fun to drive until the AC stops working. And it’s got weird software license gates for hardware it has.

Also don’t find reasons to funnel money to Musk.

Well, yeah. It’s usually not the principal that gets out of hand anyway. It’s always the interest that gets ya.

Man. I’ll tell you, looking around the desktop training hardware that nVidia now sells, they better fear that their business models are toast.

If nVidia walks away from all this stupid wealthy, fine. The hardware we can give each engineer is worth it.

Edit: For late arrivals to this if you’re curious why someone anti-LLM could be happy with this - its because the hardware is model agnostic. Whatever data and training algorithm you give it, it will be able to work with it. That expands the domain beyond signal generation (what Generative AI does) and gives engineers the ability to feed data intensive problems to it that we have long desired to make sense of.

Wait wait wait, hold up, how did I miss this before?

You seem to think you can for other people.

You mean exactly what Putin did ordering his military to cross into Ukraine?

I have a better respose.

He might be.

Putin killed Russians to get into power. He murdered Russian citizens who opposed him or became a threat. He made 1,500,000 Russians soldiers die fighting for something that wasn’t his.

No, I’m talking about how Vladimir Putin caused so much death, and you cannot dissent from agreeing with Putin’s policies of death.

Ok, so I know you keep repeating the exact same thing every single time, but I do find it absolutely hilarious (like comedic) that a “U.S. bankrolled fascist coup” that led to 108 protestors and 13 government enforcers dying is how you justify 2,000,000 casualties (amongst both sides) in the invasion of Ukraine. Like come on dude, that is some insane mental gymnastics. I know for a fact, from Russian immigrants to the U.S., that Russians have an extremely complex view of their country, and socially cannot express anything except nationalist views.

But my question remains unanswered: why do you support Putin’s extreme measures, yet claim to not support Putin?

For people unfamiliar with the ELIZA Effect, that was discovered in the 1960s with super early chatbot algorithms.

I attempted a presentation at work in the early days of LLM adoption at work and was told “that is counterproductive to this effort.”

So you support his violent means to attempt to take land to destroy nations?

But you support his invasion into Ukraine?

But why do you support Putin? He’s worth what, $200 billion? If he’s that rich, and Russians are poorer than Americans, it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t give two shits about Russians.
