  • Yeah I've seen a lot of dumb LLM implementations, but this one may take the cake. I don't get why tech leaders see "AI" and go yes, please throw that at everything. I know it's the current buzzword but it's been proven OVER AND OVER just in the past couple of months that it's not anywhere close to ready for prime-time.

  • Budget $120m, box office $407m (according to wiki). There is ZERO chance a second one can even come close to those box office numbers. I think a lot of people were just excited for a movie based on the games. I was one of them, just glad I didn't pay to see it in theaters, lol.

  • And his followers will lap it up without a second thought and ignore anything that says otherwise.

  • Does consulting for energy utilities helping them improve their mapping systems (GIS) count as IT? I do manage cloud infrastructure but also assist with all the various pieces and parts that go into digital maps and integrations.

  • Wait, a "religious" person as a child molester? Say it ain't so! This is the one bad apple I'm sure.

    Do I need the /s?

  • Tow truck drivers have an abnormally low number of fucks to give on a good day so this tracks.

  • I got "snipped" last September. It did take longer to heal than I was told but the worst of it was like the first 48 hours. Laid on the couch playing video games with frozen peas on my junk. Overall no regrets or complaints. I still need to do the follow-up lab to make sure it was completed, I'm just lazy and haven't done it.

  • the asshole that put lead in gasoline.

    Given the knowledge of the time it increased performance and fuel economy. It wasn't until decades later we realized it was horrible to humans and we started to phase it out.

    I mean, asbestos was seen as a "wonder" material for a long time before we understood how terrible it was. Hell they used asbestos snow in wizard of oz.

  • ...everything? It's probably a shorter list as to what's not wrong with them.

  • takes notes so I can bring a quart bag with 3.4 ounce bottles of acid onto a plane.

  • I'm perfectly happy with both of them taking one (assuming it's administered by a neutral third-party). No reason to give the orange turd more ammunition to lash out if the tests are one-sided.

  • How many insurance companies are actually left in Florida? I thought a good percentage of them have pulled out of the state entirely citing climate change. I know the premiums offered by the remaining companies have to be insane and it's not going to get any better.

  • I worked at a tree farm in my teens and honestly if I could still do that making what I make now I would be all over that. Always outside, in great shape, got to run heavy machinery, it was great.

  • This is the real reason I have one of those damn mouse jigglers. The timeouts on our laptop are CRAZY short, like 5 minutes tops. Just stepping away for some coffee or to take a shit then I have to re-authenticate. Heaven forbid I make myself a toasted bagel or something!

    It's even worse as I work 95% inside multiple virtual machines in the cloud that also timeout (and in some cases shut down) so there are multiple layers of password +2fa just to get back to whatever I was doing.

    So yeah, $10 USB device from Amazon allows me to not spend a hour a day just having to re-auth.

  • Yep, the fab plant is a little east of Columbus (just south of where I live actually). This is one of like 2 dozen "super loads" that has to make its way from the Ohio River up to the plant. I swear there is a website somewhere that keeps track of when the are coming, the routes they take, and the closures involved but my Google-fu is failing me now.

  • The first part of my email has remained unchanged since about then. I've gone through various services though. AOL, Earthlink, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, and now Proton.

    I also have a first.last@gmail address I keep for anything more formal (resume).

  • Damn, I feel old now....
