People don’t always speak literally. So trying to be pedantic about the literal meaning of “time” when they were using it non-lierally doesn’t make you more right.

They conveyed “no” which was the actual important part of the message

I also have a preview edition.

I moved HA from my server to a HA green to separate reliability (my server is a test bed and uptime isnt great, and home automation warrants better uptime than I was giving it).

The voice services don’t work as well on the green directly, but I view it as part of the HA ecosystem and I want it running on the same hardware, but it seems very much like not a great option for that. And even on my own hardware, it still seems like it was a bit slower than I’d want and not always accurate. I definitely need a lot of tweaking (just like OP) to make it worth while.

And from what I can tell based on the callout at the end… This is a line from connector which is a compatibility layer that allows running Fabric mods on Neoforge.

Which means connector is going to be included in every stack trace, regardless of how related it is to the problem. It will be the one to raise the errors that couldn’t be caught and managed… But AI will see connector being the one probably flagging the errors and be more likely to tag it as a “suspected” mod. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that AI has a tendency to shoot the messenger.

RIP stack overflow

When they say repeated, they mean repeated for all time ever. Has someone ever used the phrase “how are you today?” … yes. Has someone ever used the phrase “Pablo Picasso is my favorite brand of watermelon” before? Probably not. There are probably a lot of phrases with varying levels of “have existed before”. That previous sentence might be an entirely original one.

But there are plenty of other sentences that can be conveyed that actually exchange information but don’t generate new sentences. “So, what do you do for work?” “My favorite color is green” are almost certainly not new sentences.

A better breakdown of my sequence of numbers with the exact same values might be

1, 1, 2, 3,
1, 1, 4, 5,
1, 1, 6, 7,
1, 1, 8, 9
1, 1,
1, 1,
1

And now you have a repeated intro section per line and a sequence of totally unique numbers to that line.

“Most numbers are repeated” could mean that if you pick any given number from all the 21 numbers, it more than 50% likely to be a “1” you pick, just because 1 shows up so often.

“Most numbers are NOT repeated” could mean that if you if you pick any given number from the 9 unique numbers that show up in the set, you are 88% likely to pick a number that only exists once. But if any of these numbers were to be repeated even once, for any reason, that part stops being true.

In language, this just means that some phrases are going to be purely templates like “Hello” but some phrases are informational without being new: “I like turtles” and some are completely never happened before.

And depending on where your mental anchoring is, “we have a lot of repeated phrases in our lives, how could MOST sentences be new” or “repeating things would get old” … that stat may be hard to believe or surprising, or very obvious.

“Hello, how are you?” has been repeated plenty. But after that things start to vary.

In the sequence of numbers 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… Most numbers only appear once even though most numbers are a repeat.

• There are 9 possible numbers and most (88%) of them are not repeats
• “1” accounts for most (60%) of the entries in the sequence.

If we assume “hi, how are you?” is “1” and most sentences are another number, we can see how even with common phrases being repeated frequently, most sentences may tend to be original.

(I’ve not done the math and I’ve definitely not studied language enough to say how dubious or accurate the claim is, you just piqued my interest and I started trying to rationalize it all)

I agree. But that’s wrong because lying about current events is wrong. This is what I meant about framework. AI is a tool in that regard and not the problem. There is plenty of “real” journalism out there spreading lies too that I have problems with.

I’m fortunate I guess that most of the AI slop I dismiss is things more akin to baby panda sneezing scares mom panda. Where it doesn’t REALLY matter if it’s real because there are no consequences. It’s either funny or it’s not.

If someone were to say to you “why did the chicken cross the road?” You wouldn’t demand that there is actually a chicken. You would accept it as a framework for a joke.

The same holds true for staged videos or AI or anything. Is the framework important to the point? A video claiming people can fly and using AI as proof… That’s problematic. A staged bit where it would still be funny if it was just told verbally by a standup comedian? Who cares how real it is, the realness was never the point, the concept of the situation was.

Almost all comedy movies are just long staged bits.

And “how funny would this be if a standup comedian told this as a joke” vs “the context of this potentially actually happening is very important to the underlying humor of it” is a variable line for people. And that’s ok. Unless someone is in danger (don’t let someone jump off a cliff because ai said they can fly), other people’s lines don’t really affect you

Indeed. But for me, I have to ADHD myself to do it. I will never just casually peruse screenshots.

However I was chatting with some former coworkers and they were talking about pictures from a previous company on-site. So I started scrolling my photos and screenshots. And then once I found what they were referencing… I kept scrolling. Was very fun.

If she is actually depressed, then she should be receiving mental health aid, and there’s nothing to be “at fault” for. Perhaps there might be better suited facilities to help her, but it sounds like she does need help if she’s that depressed.

If she is in perfect mental health and you’ve somehow got her put in a psych ward anyway, then sure, you’re causing problems and it’s your fault.

I switched to vaultwarden back when it was bitwarden_rs due to the crazy overdone bitwarden docker setup… and then started using some of the licensed features. I have a home organization that I use to share passwords with my family. So now I can’t switch back to bitwarden official (even lite) unless they provide me a way to handle that.

I’m not opposed to paying them, but I am opposed to subscriptions for access to something I’m hosting on my own server. So a subscription license isn’t happening. I don’t see a reason to leave vaultwarden at this point

At my last job, they were trying to put LLMs in charge of doing data stuff to avoid typos, and it was just easily provably making up data.

Automation is not LLMs/GenAI.

Imagine having a router with an AP built in. We don’t use that consumer tier stuff around here. 😎

Amazon Sidewalk means that PiHole or AdGuard won’t stop anything, because the point of amazon sidewalk is that if a device can’t find a usable internet connection (ie, you didnt set up wifi, or you dont have wifi), it can still function by connecting to nearby open networks, or perhaps even someone just walking by with a phone that it can piggyback off of.

So setting up a pihole prevents it from phoning home on your network, which will just prompt it to jump to another network potentially.

The question is just “how aggressively does this device want to phone home?” Some devices will actively seek out ways to phone home if blocked, some devices will try to phone home and give up if blocked. Some devices don’t try to phone home at all.

Not phoning home is ideal, a pihole will (probably) keep a device that stays on your network under control, and you should just not buy things that actively will work around your intentions to do whatever it wants without your permission.

But this person has already bought the thing, so “dont buy it” isn’t an option. But “don’t use it” might be. Depending on which category it’s in. (which I do not know, just trying to illustrate the bigger problem with Amazon Sidewalk)

The episode of Sawbones where they talk about this, they imply that RFK Jr doesn’t even know what miasma theory is. The thing he talks about is weird nonsense unrelated to old medical idea (which was also wrong)

It’s not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks.

This part feels like you talking about yourself, and everyone agrees.

Not everything needs to be pathologized.

People are taking this as an assertion that sock preference should not be pathologized and cannot be related to ADHD.

Clearly not what you meant, but the phrasing you used is ambiguous enough to not differentiate between “not everything about myself is pathologized” vs “please stop pathologizing everything”

You don’t have to have been a slave to have dealt with racism. Enough people still get really excited about their confederate flags that clearly the era is still heavily topical.

The word “confederate” means nothing beyond referring to a type of government, but when I hear it, I think immediately of the American civil war. Even though that ended in 1865 so I was never alive to witness that.

That’s not how word associations work.

Yeah. theres a fine line between advocating for positive change because it’s the right thing to do vs because it makes you look good. Theres a fine line between being an ally and empty virtue signalling, and those things may not look different within the scope of a single interaction. It can sometimes take a bit to understand if someone is genuine or just performing.

The point of political correctness is that it’s always things you’d never consider… but someone else does. I’m not here to say whether things are right or wrong or if “master” is good or bad. but you perfectly highlight the reasoning behind it.

To you, the only thing that comes up is the technology context. And that’s perfectly reasonable. To someone else, the unrelated slave owning context may just be tightly coupled with that word, and that immediately comes to mind when they hear the word regardless of context. And someone in that scenario is probably not having a positive correlation with the word.

So a group of people have a very understandable reason to have a negative correlation with the word, and it’s super easy to use a different word, so it seems to make sense to just use the other word.

All my git scripts these days have a $(git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p') in them, which just fetches whatever origin calls the head branch. so if I want to rebase from main/master/prod/lead/front/etc … the command will figure out which one to use for me.

Gotta pump you full of oxidants so I can sell you antioxidants.
