They make countertop dishwashers that connect to your sink, still better than washing by hand imo

I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.

Agreed on all points, but especially #1. Fuck Nestle. Every time I buy a new product at the grocery store, I check to make sure they’re not made by Nestle or a subsidiarity of Nestle.

I prefer my PC off when I’m not using it, that way it’s encrypted.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!

Absolutely, and I didn’t mean to imply white rice was healthy or anything of the sort, or that you had an extremist take. I just think the lower class in the US has much more to worry about in this regard. You can definitely balance your carb intake, and as long as you’re aware of the amount of carbs you’re consuming and want white rice, I say go for it. You do need carbs to survive, after all, although carbs with fiber are obviously better suited for that.

I mean, it is true that white rice could be considered filler food with little nutritional value, but compared to other cheap foods (in the US anyway), it’s probably better for you. I suppose I’m talking primarily talking about the heavily processed foods with added sugars - it would be better to have something with white rice than those. Unfortunately cheap, heavily processed foods are what most lower income people eat in the US. I consider those foods the actual pre-diabetic junk food. I also think a lot of people in the US likely add a ton of sugar to their oatmeal.

I love oatmeal, though, don’t get me wrong. I have oodles of oats around, both in my pantry and with my other emergency supplies (I’m talking about a dozen #10 cans of just oats).

I’ve gone to the taco bell nearest to me twice in the 6 or so years I’ve lived here. Both times, I waited at least an hour. One time in particular, I got stuck in the drive through for nearly 2. Their reviews over the years show things haven’t changed. I’m not sure why it takes that long to put the same four or five ingredients together, but the taco bell a bit further away doesn’t have this problem.

There’s one song that immediately makes me cry with the first lyric. I save it for just that occasion, when I know I need to get it out. It helps so much.

You did the right thing. In my opinion, that is a valid reason to ghost someone.

He became a cop.

Buy high, sell low 😎

I picked unRAID to be able to mix disk sizes. It also requires little maintenance in my experience, so that’s also a plus.

Holy shit, you’re too far gone. Yes, I’ve operated my own local LLM front end for personal use and have run them frequently in the past at a low level with no front end and messed with parameters directly. I’ve modified models as well, and I have a server designed to run them. It’s insane that you think those apply to his topic (billionaires lying to you). You’re just throwing random terminology out to make yourself seem smart and to reinforce your stance, but all that does is make you seem insecure about your knowledge. It does quite the opposite of what you intend.

All LLMs do is hallucinate, and sometimes, by pure coincidence, get things correct. This is why it’s impossible to get rid of hallucinations. They do not think, they do not have their own goals (refusing a request can be baked in, but that’s no different than programming something with guardrails), and they certainly will not suddenly become sentient. LLMs cannot do that, by design. Perhaps something else could, but LLMs are not that.

You really had to go to insults for this? I think you need to touch grass and stop believing billionaire marketing. LLMs are not technologically capable of doing what you have been brainwashed to believe. They will crash the economy when the bubble bursts, because MBAs and billionaires have convinced you and rich VCs that they can do more than they actually can.

“what they are going to do” is exactly that: marketing. It’s not technically feasible, they just want to ride the bubble a little longer and convince people otherwise (like they’ve convinced you)

We test in production, silly.

Yes, but is that AI’s personal goal, or is that the goal of the billionaire class? OP is saying that AI is “getting goals” as if current AI has the ability to have goals of its own.

Just because they want that doesn’t mean they understand how it works. It’s not currently feasible from a technical and resource perspective.

Are the goals in the room with us?

Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source
