Everyone’s different. I remember a lot, and so clean up on trivia night.

Even if you aren’t the type to remember, you’re still learning. The details aren’t always as important as the concepts.

Starlink should be globalized. A planet only needs one low-altitude orbiting communications network. Better to standardize the technology and platform and let them contribute to one system than to have a dozen identical competing systems crashing into each other and fucking things up for everyone.

IMHO it’s a mental illness. “Without religion, people would rape all they want” is a great quote, because most of these people are projecting. They actually would go around raping all they wanted (and with great enthusiasm) if there wasn’t some authority to prevent them, because that’s who they are. They cannot comprehend people who voluntarily wouldn’t rape people even when they could, because they can’t put themselves into the head of other people.

Or the 2A people are perfectly content with their place in a fascist society.

Yeah, better to just sit around and do nothing. It’s not like it could get worse.

Secession is what Russia is blackmailing him for. Secede MAGA instead.

Stack Overflow hasn’t been useful for at least 10 years, if not longer.

The flagged “correct” answer is almost always wrong due to idiotic power-users and the vast horde of idiots who upvote obviously wrong answers because they’re bootlickers. The real answer is usually buried in between the posts by gatekeepers, pedants, idiots with something to prove, wannabe admins, egotistical idiots, the highly opinionated technologically insecure, etc ad nauseam. Reddit is just as bad for tech questions, if not worse.

Since I started using LLMs (running on my own inference server) I haven’t used anything else for tech questions that wasn’t opinion-based. Much, much more useful, and it requires you to think seriously about the problem to come up with a good prompt – which often gives you the answer before you even finish the prompt.

All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.

Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.

I’m surprised so many people are falling for this.

Oh yeah. This does it for me too. A 20-something volume series space-opera or tactical space-war is perfect for GSD. Works great for insomnia too.

Fortunately we’re in a sci-fi golden-age so there’s lots of great stuff to keep a brain happily occupied while the body mindlessly toils. Urban fantasy is another great genre for this. There’s even urban-fantasy space-opera if that’s your thing, lol.

If a writer cares so little about their audience that they put their article on Medium, it’s not worth reading.

The purpose of Medium is to sell advertising to generate as large a return for investors as possible. As a blogging or “journalism” platform it’s mostly a scam for those who don’t know better.

I find it odd that anyone thinks there’s going to be (fair) elections. The Democrats (or any party other than MAGA Republicans) are never going to be in power again, ever.

Too any rich and powerful people will end up in prison if that happened, and right now they’re the ones writing (and rewriting) the rules and breaking the things they can’t control.

It’s going on in front of everyone’s eyes and the consequences are just being ignored by most. It’s mindboggling.

The implication is that on meds they’re super-focused and goal-oriented. Without they’re having fun and trying new ideas. Neither is good or bad, right or wrong. Rings true for me.

Meds aren’t going to make anyone neurotypical – they just help them harness their awesomely chaotic mind so they can do something more productive with it.

And why wouldn’t they? It’s not like votes are going to matter anymore.

What makes you think you have to kill people? Why not just sink their yachts, burn their planes and homes? Dox them. Shut down airports with drones – nationally. Burn their warehouses, datacenters, factories. Hack their computers and steal their money. Etc… etc…

Americans are so indoctrinated that they think killing is the natural next progression of peaceful protests.

Humiliating them is much more damaging to their stupid movement.

I would be surprised if some Trump minion with a backchannel didn’t make the initial ask.

That’s because overseas vacationers to the US buy their tickets many months ahead of time for deeper discounts and to make sure they can get a hotel room. Give it a couple more months…

Sure, if you want to get yourself and everyone around you killed.

The Ukrainians are doing interesting things with drones…

It has nothing to do with training LLMs.

The US government data (each US citizen’s health, tax, etc. records) will be added to the data from Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and every other tech company that stores “advertising” data to create more complete profiles of each and every US citizen. This data can then be analyzed, filtered, collected and collated by whatever criteria “they” want, for whatever purpose.

NOW the LLMs can be used on this dataset to create lists. Very dangerous (and mostly wrong) lists.

Considering almost all Canadian media is owned by the US and the desperate push for PP by propagandists, I think it turned out about as good as can be expected.

30% of the population are just terrible people who are easily swayed by lies and propaganda (the same as in other countries). The rest are just regular Conservative “I’ve got mine” shitheads.

The solution is to stop the propaganda, not appease the idiots or we’ll end up like the US anyway. Canada already has the laws it just has to enforce them.
