But Harris would have been just as bad!

He’s absolutely not in the early stages of dementia. He was in the early stages back in 2016.

Direct Inward Dialing, or basically a VOIP phone number.

I know that’s not what they meant, but DID is already an established term in IT.

There’s also ones like that where you wrap the floss around it yourself, which greatly reduces your plastic waste, especially if you use an eco friendly floss.

If you’re going to talk out of your ass you should at least get the amendments right.

While I agree with your statement, that’s not really what this article is about.

It’s not pointless. I make a claim and you’re free to refute it. I’ve already done the research to make myself a secondary source, so you either believe me or your provide a conflicting source.

It speaks to this generation’s willingness to accept information presented to them as fact.

Those people are stupid and you shouldn’t trust a god damn thing anyone on the Internet says as gospel.

I actually witnessed the perfect exchange today. Someone made a claim. Someone else said, “Hey, this source I found suggests you’re wrong.”

The original commenter said, “here’s my source that contradicts that.”

They both Agreed on a middle ground and moved on

This is my method. If I sat something you disagree with, call me on it with a source to refute me.

Don’t ask me to type 4 words into Google for you. If your request for information can be completed with one hand, go fuck yourself. This is literally the point of “do your own research.”

I wouldn’t trust one God damn source you put in front of me. I’m going to research the antithesis to your statement just for a chance to prove you wrong.

I’d never trust you to provide me any evidence at all

Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s not rude. Put your digital crack down for an hour or go to rehab.

That’s one of the things I love about Tool/APC/Lucifer concerts. If you have your phone out, you’ll get kicked the fuck out.

Bro, literally all I said was that the training dataset was the same.

I’m well aware of how generative AI works. I’m an industry professional who attended the very first AI/ML training course by a major cloud provider back in 2023 and was instrumental in changing the way they operated the AI side of the house.

But the parallels are there. Neural networks are designed based on the human brain, and vector driven databases aren’t super dissimilar to how neurons interact. A ton of human memory and processing is based on referential data, like gen AI.

Yes, it might not be able to approximate human intelligence and the actual workings of the brain yet, but it’s on its way.

People tend to forget how computers used to take up entire floors of office buildings and a simple hard drive was the size of an industrial washing machine. Gen AI is in its infancy, and while its current state is highly inefficient and flawed, that’s all the reason for it to improve.

Is current gen AI a solution for anything? Absolutely not. Is it a stepping stone towards true artificial intelligence? Absolutely.

I swear, Lemmy users would have been the people complaining that Excel and Word would be the downfall of society. There are absolutely legitimate complaints about the technology, but to completely dismiss it without looking at the nuances of the situation is assanine.

The truth is that it’s entirely possible for a business to ethically use an LLM. I know this for a fact because I was intimately involved in the implementation of one. The entire thing was trained on our proprietary dataset that had been built over 40 years of industry experience, on our servers which were powered by green energy.

Or heavy metal poisoning

He’s one of the few congressmen that’s actually trying to rally people to get involved to fight back against this.

He’s pretty limited on what he can do being basically the only progressive in the government.

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.

There is a method similar to a sheep shank knot that is super useful for very long cables, and you can use the over/under method for making the required loops.

Which is ridiculous because those people paid into the safety net when they had jobs. I was on unemployment for about 7 months and I didn’t feel the least bit guilty because I had been paying into it for 20 years. Well, technically my employers paid it, but they paid it with the results of my labor.

Although I did work a temp job doing physical labor during that, but it was mostly an effort to get a full time position in my career at that employer (it worked). Plus it helped with the depression from sending out hundreds of applications without getting a single interview.

Didn’t they just start shipping grid size salt batteries too?

Not to mention the fact that it takes on average 18 months to hire someone.
