Technician Proximity Syndrome, happens in every field.
I honestly love those calls, it makes for an easy win and an amused user (normally). My favorite was when I worked for a car dealership, as I’d routinely get called into the shop for a computer issue only to have the tech go to reproduce the issue and it worked fine.
The number of times I heard “Man, now I know how my customers feel” was pretty damned funny.
40% getting people to reboot, 40% getting people to reboot despite their lies that they already did,
“Sir, I need you to reboot your computer”
“Sure, let me juuuuust restart… Huh, doesn’t seem to have solved the problem”
“Sir, I’m remoted into your computer and can see you didn’t actually reboot.”
So many goddamned times while I was on first line…
Sounds like the middleman will get cut once the person paying for the work to be done realizes that they don’t have to pay a person for the work to get done
Sounds like someone doesn’t understand how much work goes into getting a usable work product out of AI output. Fuck, I can’t even get the stupid fucking things to not make up shit constantly, and have to police the output to make sure it doesn’t decide to delete my whole directory or something.
Why would your boss pay you when you don’t even do the work or posses the skills?
Unironically the exact mentality stupid owners have wrt AI. But sure, coders can be replaced by a stochastic parrot that is more likely to give you advice on how to bathe with a toaster than accurately solve your problem in a way that doesn’t leave you massively exposed.
Resistance is growing and there are tens of millions of Americans who aren’t staying home.
Honestly, I can hope, but tens of millions of people in the streets doesn’t engender much hope when 90 million stayed home last November and helped put us here.
A ton of the the people who constantly harp on voting not being enough tend to be the same people who don’t show up on voting day imo.
Someone could point to the horrible acts done in the name of religion, but just imagine if those people didn’t have the fear of god in them
Lol no. Imagine if these people didn’t think they were still righteous in the eyes of god, maybe they might not have felt the need to torture in the name of their god.
Cans in a bag are going to have too much of a wind up time to be a good defense utility
Don’t delete your post, update it with the proper info so others know the fix in the future
It means they know the hash or whatever for their cert, and intentionally fail if there’s any kind of MITM funkiness (which you’d have for an ad blocker doing https intercept)
That we aren’t working on solving our many crises has nothing to do with whether or not we’re in space. You’re tying together two issues that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Climate change and space travel are literally opposing goals. If we send people to space, we add more greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. If we stop polluting the atmosphere with dead dino farts we cant get people into space.
“The children of clowns are always jokes”
Nah, I’m not the one getting agro and hostile.
They do sometimes. I had one show up at my door this year hawking cookies, and I had to buy a couple boxes. If the kid has enough moxy to hoof it and door knock, they earned the sale. Not like those kids who sit by store entrances and try to get your attention as you walk by.
What defense is needed, short of saying ‘if it doesn’t work for you, cool, but it works for many other people’ and telling you to calm your tits?
One day you might consider that different people cope differently. When your head isn’t as far up your own ass sniffing your own farts.
Man, we really need a selfawarewolves community
The main difference between the two is intention.
This is horrible advice
Eh, depends. My therapist says it can be useful in the moment, but yeah, something we’re working on.
Maybe they care about other technologies that aren’t constantly just a couple years away?
Are you kidding? Most dentists would love that treatment. You get to improve your patients’ dental health, you give them a smile they can be proud of, and you would be the ones administering the treatment.
This will more likely be an upcharge service for cavity fillings and to replace implants and shit.
That conspiracy theory is more believable than anything that involves non-earth life forms coming to this planet. Just based on our understanding of physics, there’s no feasible way for aliens to visit us without some kind of generational ship. FTL maybe might possibly be doable, but our models don’t allow it with our current tech, and we haven’t seen any of the indications of trans-light travel that we’d expect to see based on our current knowledge.
All that to say, I believe in aliens on earth about as much as I believe in wizards and warlocks and shit.
“Oh, I’ve lost power due to a storm, is that important?”
