  I understand that your concerned for the person, but simply telling them that they need to produce proof before you can go any further seems fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically it is the trendy word to say, “This thing does not align to my narrow world view and is therefore bad and wrong.”

  I think a part of the problem with current AI is that it’s trying to be an expert on all things. Humans can have similar issues, were they are legitimately an expert in one field and makes them over confident in other areas. So current AI is a better bit then a newb at lots of things and over confident. Haveing models with more focused training would improve how useful they are.

  Like your example, it would be great to have an AI that is focused on how to do good research and doesn’t try to be an “expert” on anything else.

  I have been using it for documentation a lot recently. I find tweaking/correcting it’s 70% correct comments to be less time/effort than writing it myself from nothing. I think part of it is using Cunningham’s law on myself.

  I don’t think it’s about anthropomorphizing the tool, it’s about expressing appreciation for the tool. Showing appreciation to a wrench may being as simple as making sure that you clean, oil, and properly put it away when your done using it. The tool is not a conscious entity, but the mindset of appreciation will make you more likely to properly care for the object resulting it being useful to you for longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. AI is an interesting tool. I have good success in asking for mostly small specific bits of functionality that I then integrate into a larger script. It also helps with rubber duck programing by requiring me to more clearly specify requirements.

  No, he is being attacked because he publicly contradicted Trump. If do anything Trump perceives as “making him look bad”, he will attack you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hard to pick fruit tastes less sweet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you are confusing effort/reward with the issue of autonomy. You may personally find the less “rewarding” thing more enjoyable because you were empowered to make the choice.

  Freedom of speech is a tool for society. All tools can be used for nefarious purposes.

  So was what I said. I was presenting a hypothetical way they justify their ridiculous claims by doing something else ridiculous.

  But conveying tone in text is difficult, so I’m not surprised you missed what I was going for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair. We assume “months” means less than 2 years. But 10 years can also be “months”, and is probably a more realistic timeline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason is that it takes a lot of emotional intelligence and strength to admit that you have been scammed. These people will find it less emotionally painful to deny reality then admit their mistakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A Mary Sue is about unearned skill. A person who is just magically good at everything. People don’t like it because in the real world you generally have to work hard, struggle, and sacrifice to achieve significant things. Same reason most people don’t like trust fund babies. They didn’t earn it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes the advice "just be yourself" is bad advice.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like your just optimizing for efficiency over peak performance. That a form of “best self”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Therapy is probably a good idea regardless. If you spent your life “in the wrong body”, I would imagine it would still leave you with thousands of small mental wounds that add up. Granted, finding the right therapist can be an ordeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As for food functionality it is very comparable to software remote control of a computer. There are 3 key features that stand out:

  • It does not rely on the target machine being booted into the OS. This means you can access it even if it crashes or locks up.
  • It can “push” the power button on the machine. This requires an accessory that plugs into the motherboard. So you can force a machine off or cold boot a system.
  • You can mount a boot ISO. This is like having a bootable flash drive in the target machine so you can install an OS remotely.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home server rebuild automation workflow⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Proxmox is basically a VM management software that runs in a Debian install. You may be able to add it to your current install, but I am not certain about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start as a beginner⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First based on everything I have ever heard, don’t host your own email server. If you want to learn it that’s fine, but don’t do it for something you actually rely on. My understanding it’s a constant miserable slow to keep it functioning.

  Second for getting started, get a cheap used computer and install Linux on it. Also be prepared to wipe it and install something different. Docker may be a good place to go next. You can find lots of guides online, there are tones of apps setup to run with docker you can test out. You could also explore virtual machines. Both have the advantage of making it easier to experiment with different things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker firewall question⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s say that yes, you pointed them to “networking”. The issue is that they have a specific problem and you are pointing to a topic so broad and deep with no specific direction. But you also say “it’s basic”. Well if it truly is basic and they still don’t get it, this would be a clear indication that they need some level of hand holding. Last if your feeling “that is a lot of work, I don’t want to do that” no problem you don’t have to. But in that that situation I would suggest reviewing before commenting: is it going to get the person closer to a solution? Is encouraging to the person? Am I indicating I also have this problem indicating someone else could step in and help multiple people at once? Is it funny? If it’s no on all those, maybe don’t comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker firewall question⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the important factor is that you have contributed nothing of value to help this person learn. You could have linked to a useful resources, you have suggested Google searches to point in the correct direction. But you basically said “This is easy, RTFM”. Next time at least send them the manual they should read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok owner ByteDance sacks intern for sabotaging AI project⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of “intern” was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can be the reasons for self-sabotaging behaviours when it comes to relationships?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a professional, just another meat bag trying to figure his own stuff out. Good job on the introspection. Some times just seeing our own behavior can be difficult. Getting help from a professional is always a good plan. Until then, I would suggest continuing to be mindful of that you do this and make a focused effort to pay attention to the emotions your are feeling when you do these things. Other than that, what are the things you DO want to do? When you you try take these new actions, what are your emotions at these times?

  P.S. Being more self aware is a skill. Don’t be surprised if it your not very good at it to start.
