I’m pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren’t in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It’s great.
It’s the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?
A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You’ll be glad you got in on the ground floor…
We do need a little more time, though. And money.
I text my friends. I assume that everyone else just thinks I died.
The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.
It was awful.
“Oh, look. He’s a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook.”
Yes. Web apps existed before JavaScript.
a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck?
I hope you’re thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.
I’m sorry you went through that. I’m glad you got your trapper keeper, though. Your mom made the right call.
I felt the same, until I had my first lousy sleeper (child who had trouble sleeping due to minor health stuff). After a month of lost sleep, I couldn’t remember my own name sometimes. I read once that sleep deprivation is effectively brain damage, and after that experience, I believe it.
The left shoe trick - throwing my shoe in the car next to the kid - probably saved my kid’s life more than once.
One kind of parents who have these tragedies are tired ones. Which is most parents with small children.
Edit: not relevant in this case, but I’ll take any chance to advertise the shoe trick.
It still is, it’s a standard for imaging devices.
Oh, thank you. I had forgotten that!
And also a nightmare.
Yes. Now that the memories are coming back, I do notice most of them aren’t very nice…
It’s an acronym: T.W.A.I.N. (edit: a backconym, as was pointed out - I’ve also heard that the weird upper case name came first, and the weirder acronym was added later.)
“Technology without an interesting name.”
And… That’s all I remember about it, at the moment.
Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.
Sorry. We need to learn to ask nicely.
Please upgrade to Linux?
sudo upgrade to Linux?
RunAs -Admin upgrade to Linux?
The answer is 2.
Cling to known humans who write their own code.
Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.
Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.
But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I’m sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
My experience with ethically run (if unethically created) local models has been similar. Lots odd hardware to get slow mediocre answers.
But the biggest reason AI competes with plain old web search is that they’ve enshittified the web search available to us.
Corporate assholes are breaking search to force people to use their centralized harmful AI answer guessers.
