It’ keeps the terminators out, but the t1000’s can just melt through

Not that long ago, a single factory worker made enough to buy a small house, a car, have 2 kids and take a 2 week yearly vacation.

We’re really pumping the gas on inequity.

As is the way of marketing.

They did that for years. It’s a good servicable option.

Of course, printing all those out and shipping them all over the world isn’t without cost.

These can be animated. Ideally, they can have an attract mode to improve sales.

Corporate can force the hand of small shops to put the flavors in they want to market.

There are probably as many pros as there are cons.

You’re 100% correct, they’re not necessary

Oh GOD, can’t I pass some butter?

This combination of generations is lost. Most of the age groups are either pushing for things to get worse, ignoring things that are bad or rooting on the coming apocalypse. It’ll get better when we get a few more new gens in the game, asuming it can be recovered

Cost, Parts availability

They’re building them out of cheap SBC with sd cards.

It’s cheaper to put four economy SBC’s in than one computer that can handle 4 displays.

I do a few things at work that I use AI for. Work had a gpt enterprise key, now we’ve moved to claude. Through O365, I also have access to copilot.

Pretty much anything I ask claude or gpt about, I can be sure to get a solid answer or one that was at least on Stack Exchange or Reddit. If that fails, and I drill down a little more on a problem, adding details, they’ll both get a little better after a couple of questions and usually come up with a reasonable answer.

Not copilot. If you ask copilot something and it doesn’t come back in one shot with an authoritative cited answer, just walk away. It makes no attempt to ensure the answer is right or sane. It either hit in training or it didn’t. And if it didn’t, trying to convince it to strike out in a few other directions to solve it is absolutely a fool’s errand.

It’s like they bought into OpenAI, then never got any updates or made any progress. I

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a post about sucking robot dick today, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?"

I’ve been avoiding RTFM for 30 years. command --help at best. Whoever writes the manual pages and I just don’t see eye to eye on documentation.

command - description

20 examples of common usage

exhaustive list of options with a short paragraph each and acceptable usage.

that’s what I want.

It seems either they want to write you a 50 page novel mentioning random options or just give you 250 options with loose references of what’s not allowed with what.

I’ve been throwing a lot of my shell scripts into llm and asking for best practice updates, it’s shocking how much cool shit it out there that i’ve never even considered.

today’s gem:

script -q ~/command.log

do a bunch of crap

exit

script get’s written

put that together with SSH.

Now you log ssh sessions on all servers to one file. You can go back and farm that for history.

script that out so that on exit it expunges export, sql and vault type passwords/keys.

yeah, Ubuntu has a command-not-found handler. it sets up .bashrc with /usr/lib/command-not-found when you miss a cli match.

Yes I get that, but again, this is very focused on YOU. What about your friends and family who will suffer from the reduced value of the world. What about the general population?

I don’t comprehend how that is focused on me. Anyone save someone with cognitive impairment with unlimited time would progress. They could put $25 in a bank account and check back in 200 years.

who will suffer from the reduced value of the world.

I don’t understand your take on this either. Time creates whatever value is needed. The rest of the world will continue on as it does now, the scope of whomsoever value was extended would extend exponentially. just because one person is granted unlimited time doesn’t take anything away from anyone else, they just become capable of more production throughout their timeline.

With unlimited time you could theoretically make a perfect world for yourself, one day. But it does nothing for things that are valuable now.

That’s the whole point of this exercise, by choosing unlimited time, now is no different. 100 years would be slightly changed. Think bloodless vampire, not Methuselah

I’m just against the idea that there is nothing of value besides things you could also achieve with unlimited time.

Again it’s not that everything else is null, it’s that the power created to the unlimited timeline makes all the other value inconsequential.

With infinite time, you’ll survive past the climate change issues, or perhaps even manage to elevate yourself to the level of supreme ruler with unlimited wealth and have the other billionaires heads on pikes.

I think you’re REALLY underselling unlimited time.

You know, as much as I don’t love AI, a small model sitting in the terminal of noob installations might be a useful thing.

update graphics driver

:hey, that’s not a command, but if you’re looking to do that, you should … (step by step process)

With time, you can make money.

With unlimited time, you can become an artisan in any scope you wish.

All other values are, the long way around, derived from time.

I man, I’m not intolerant, but I’m willing to give it a try in the name of science

I only draw lines for myself.

Yet here you are telling people where they’re not allowed to draw lines for others.

I am not arrogant to claim to speak for anyone else.

this is the issue. you assume your social norms are shared by everyone. they aren’t. and then mods and such impose their social norms on everyone else rather than let the users decide what content they want to see.

That’s you, speaking for everyone else.

Trying to impose my bullshit on other people who never asked for it,

nobody asked for what you’re saying now.

You’re literally trying to define the social norm while telling eveyone else they should not get to pick the social norm.

Advocating for eveyrone to refuse to censor anything is same trap as advocating for people to censor things.

And there will always be lines. Gonna block outright harassment? Gonna block kiddie pics, Gonna block a bunch of people organizing how to cut the power to a town, kill people, get away with murder?

So, where the hell do you want to draw the lines, and why does that location not make you a product of exactly what you’re accusing everyone else of?

WTF you gonna do with PC3 ram, you have a good supply of ancient hardware or something?

It’s not the one thing that’s gone to hell. rent is on it’s way up all over the world, unemployment is way up, food costs are up. Ram, SSD, Gas, Electricity. Over the past year, most things have gotten more expensive. Evevrything has gone up except salaries.

Transport costs are about to skyrocket. That’ll add several more percent on everything.

From an indie dev standpoint, maybe you’re just insulated more than most.
