Looks like you got your answer so I am just going to complain that I can’t set my search engine to never give me results from Pinterest. I hate that site. I can block it in my firewall, but it shows up way too much in search results.

I think you mean it will ducking correct…

I turned mine off completely because it has bo comprehension of when an apostrophe is appropriate in front of the letter s. Forever making words possessive that were intended to be plural. Apostrophes do not mean “look out, here comes an s.”

I would not be surprised if autocorrect was a major culprit along with phone keyboards. You can type something correctly and have autocorrect make it wrong. It’s also super easy to get the wrong letter if you have normal sized hands and are typing on a phone keyboard. I have turned autocorrect completely off and am significantly less error prone as a result.

I frequently decide against correcting an error if I think my intention is clear, and I am in a hurry. I don’t really care what strangers on the internet think of my editing skills.

The price was going to be $499. A 145% tariff makes the price $1222.55. A 100% tariff would double the price and this is more than 100%.

Looks like pretty steep inflation fueled by tariffs. I wonder how the Denies Reality Party (DeRPs) will spin it.

More like retailers won’t eat any of it and will take the opportunity to raise prices even more because they know consumers are expecting higher prices and they have pressure to retain or increase their margins to meet shareholder expectations.

I think they necessarily will. I can’t imagine retailers eating the lost margin.

Betteridge’s law applies. The answer to a yes-no headline question is always no.

Permabanned for asking what Eisenhower would do if he was present at a Nazi march in Wisconsin and someone handed him a machine gun.

Apparently, impossible hypotheticals (Eisenhower is long dead) intended as a commentary on the fascist shift of the republican party (Eisenhower was a republican) are advocating violence. Eisenhower famously led efforts to kill Nazis.

So here I am.

Part of me wants to engage in ban evasion and just post hate all over reddit to make it worse. What are they going to do? Ban me? Too lazy to bother though.

I don’t want to ask ai. Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor. Those useless results still use energy to generate.

And the quality of the AI output sucks. I was recently looking for information about positive convention for yaw, pitch, and roll in aircraft. I was looking at az and yaw and got reasonable results from the AI, but when I looked at pitch and el all of the results were about elevator pitches. Even when I spelled out elevation it insisted on elevator pitches. I scroll past the AI results as a matter of principle, but I usually look at them so I have something specific to complain about when people ask why I am so virulently anti-AI.

If we get some good Rossby waves locking heat domes in the right places, climate change could starve a whole bunch of people in a short order. It only happens in a few models, so maybe we should just carry on ignoring the problem. We definitely haven’t been seeing headlines about awful climate problems arriving decades sooner than the models predict with frequent alarming regularity.

Lots of free movies on Tubi. I watched a few old movies that I missed there. I just don’t watch movies much anymore.

Yay, my 50 something butt is a younger people.

I tried to use dd with too much hubris once. I had to restore from backups (which ironically, I had made with dd). I’m usually overly cautious, but I was in a hurry.

LLMs don’t even think. Four year olds are more coherent. Given the state of politics, the people thinking LLMs are smarter than them are probably correct.

The mistake is admitting that you’re refactoring. I just implemented the feature/ fixed the bug. Why did I change so much? The issue was a little underscoped.

The fun thing is to try to force your fellow devs to refactor piecemeal through comments on their pull requests.

And permabanning them for making anti-Nazi statements. Soon it will just be bots upvoting content created by other bots. Waste of electricity.

What I don’t see is an explanation for why developing AI should be a priority. I don’t even think LLMs are really AI, so why should they get free poor plagiarism? I haven’t seen any convincing evidence that LLMs are a step towards AGI.

I am really dreading the LLM crime prediction future. It will be like a really bad version of Minority Report. CRIMESTOPPER 3000 says you’re a minority, you’re poor, and you criticize our largest shareholder, therefore you are going to jail to prevent your inevitable crime.

We should be powering these energy hogs off before they make the majority of us poorer.

I’d start with the billionaires. Then the climate change deniers.
