Predator is from 1987; that’s a classic.

Meanwhile, when, as a little more than a basic user, I look at my system, feeling as if I’m dealing with a dumpster fire just to have that nagging recurrent insight: “I actually have a brain and can learn!”

Large Language Model

To the extent of my understanding, it is a form of slightly more sophisticated bot, as in an automated response algorithm, that is developed over a set of data, in order to have it “understand” the mechanics that make such set cohesive to us humans.

With such background, it is supposed to produce new similar outputs if given new raw data sets to run through the mechanics it acquired during development.

If you really need to, go without a phone and buy a cheap one there. Memorize a few numbers and use a single application to handle your communications.

I would probably be detained. I have no mainstream social media, keep no images on my phone and don’t use gmail.

I have two dogs and they bark at me in an unique way when requesting my attention or when I’m arriving home, so I expect that to be my “name” to them.

That is a good number

What about printing head replacement?

This is going to be a blast.

Please give us cheap energy storage. That will be a true game changer.

LMDE or plain Mint. Or just go for Debian.

This line of thought always leads me towards a silly sentence: logic is a sacred cow that as nothing sacred to it.

Most people take logic as granted. It is a basic element of human minds, thoughts and how those are externally expressed. But what is logical to one individual may be completely illogical to another.

Even if expressed in rigourously defined terms and expressions, the ideas a given logical sequence tries to convey and explain may be totally and completely flawed and irrelevant to another or simply wrong.

We are able to share concepts in its widest of forms but we can never truely and correctly express what we really think and understand to another because we are, in fact, even if in the most minute of ways, unique.

So, don’t sell yourself short.

I’ve seen human kibble and - please, take my word for it -cereal is a huge step above it.

This should have been done a long time ago.

I try to buy as much items as I can already flagged as being in end of shelf life (pink and orange tags in the supermarkets I shop at) but several times I was denied taking home items that had “expired” the day before.

I’m right there and I’m willing to take it home at my responsability! Hand it over!

It’s yours. Every single thing you can fix is one less thing you need to fix and adds towards your home being more yours.

I bought a house almost 100 years old, badly upkept throughout the years (someone thought it was a good idea to cover wood with cement without making sure it would not wick moisture), severely modified (it was divided into 5 separate apartments) and altered (I have a shower stall inside a bedroom!), it has a lot of work to be done and I sure have too litle time but I’ll be damned it’s mine!

I’m doing my part!

Fair point.

For a truly scary animal to have on your side, what do you think of wasps? Airborn, vicious and capable of team work.

So, essentially, you chose violence, be it through He-Man (Battle Cat) or the Teenage Mutant Turtles (Rocksteady).

I’ve read somewhere some have been successfully (more or less) tamed.

Get a chicken. They still know they’re dinossaurs.

Russians inadvertantly did that, when trying to rear blue foxes for fur. Selecting for tameness altered the coat.
