- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
That is weird. Running development environments maybe? Docker with windows iis?

Your description is hilarious, I’ll be sure to check it out. Good job 👍 and happy Halloween 🎃
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
I do it already at work! Windows runs great in qemu.
There is a few things that we still need to move away from, app wise, that requires windows. But already I solve 95% of my work tasks in Linux. We will soon move all terminal computers in our production lines to Foss software and new stations run Ubuntu. Linux runs lighter and cheaper and easier to maintain and update and replace. We are super happy about it.
Best thing is, it will only get better!

Predicting? Ok, if you say so.
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 7 months ago:
The model makes decisions thinking it is right, but for whatever reason can’t see a firetruck or stopsign or misidentifies the object… you know almost like how a human hallucinating would perceive something from external sensory that is not there.
I don’t mind giving it another term, but “being wrong” is misleading. But you are correct in the sense that it depends on every given case…
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 7 months ago:
Text to video, automated driving, object detection, language translations. I might be misusing the term, you could argue that the word is describing what LLMs commonly does and that is where the term is derived from. You can also argue that AI is sometimes correct and the human have issues identifying the correct answer. But In my mind it is much the same just different applications. A car completely missing a firetruck approaching or a LLM just spewing out wrong statements is the same to me.
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 7 months ago:
AI in general is definitely prone to hallucinations. It is more commonly seen in LLMs because it is more widely used by the public. It is definitely a problem with all AI
- Comment on Amazon builds AI model to optimize packaging 7 months ago:
This is already worked in through mathematics, it is its own mathematical field. We can optimize packaging through formulas that are very fast and accurate. No need to train a AI for that. Especially not for space flight, AI are prone to hallucinations that is not something you want anywhere near any space mission that requires precision and predictability. I believe Johannes Kepler started this field in the 1600s, it is not something new. It is definitely a complex problem, but not new and not unheard of. Amazon is not exactly inventing something new and amazing here…

- Comment on Sam Bankman-Fried deserves 40-50 years in prison for FTX fraud, prosecutors say 8 months ago:
Fuck that. Because he gambled with rich peoples money? How would a 40 year prison sentence rehabilitate him from that… I say it is pointless, release the man! In fact, we need more like him. Eat the rich!

Taylor Swift is a business.Yes, in the future it could be higher. It depends on where the company is going. Artists get less popular over time and alot of assets would then necessitate scaling down, and be offloaded. If the person Taylor Swift decides she does not want to be associated with the business anymore it could lose alot, if she died probably the opposite would be true for a while. Yes a considerable amount of revenue would probably be coming in for the foreseeable future.
Tldr: Past performance is no guarantee of future results. A billion dollar company is already an amazing feat and it is impressive if Taylor can keep the ball rolling at that scale.
- Comment on Fact 9 months ago:
Thanks, that’s a better way to put it. It is all in the interest of business. It obviously works great, because here we are discussing it, and some of us praising it… !
- Comment on Fact 9 months ago:
Yes, I understand how it seems like I refered to the person and not the artist.
I still don’t understand how you come to the conclusion that the net worth should be at least double? Based on what? My point is that it is extremely impressive to have a billion dollar company as is, in only a decade
- Comment on Fact 9 months ago:
That has probably only ever helped her gain more. There is a good reason why rich people like to start charities and give money. It’s for publicity and as a tax write-off.
USA is the perfect country for getting rich and staying rich and getting richer. She could never have that kind of networth in any other country in the world as a pop act.
- Comment on Fact 9 months ago:
You do understand how large of a number a billion is? To work only for a decade and have that kind of networth is insane.

- Comment on What is OOP, really? Why so many different definitions? 9 months ago:
Yes, and often incomplete or not maintained.
Anyway, OP read different sources about OOP and still needs to ask the definition… At some point it is better to just do something than to keep banging your head at the theory. If learning to code is your endgoal
- Comment on What is OOP, really? Why so many different definitions? 9 months ago:
You are right. But I still find the ‘heavier’ theory, that is what I assumed OP refered to, to be more difficult to grasp then following a basic tutorial and just trying to solve problems. In time with practice you get a better understanding for WHY the theory is how it is, and you can apply it better and of course improve your code. And that understanding will unlock more tools both in OOP and in your mind.
So if you are struggling, I recommend not starting with theory.
- Comment on What is OOP, really? Why so many different definitions? 9 months ago:
Use it for a while, to complement your theoretical study. Things will become clearer when you have your own understanding and opinion about it.

I am also convinced that diamonds are a scam. If you like the stone and think it is worth it, by all means, go ahead and buy it. I fucking love shiny things too. But really? Have you seen the price for a tiny 1 karat stone on a ring? That is ridiculous, there is no way in hell those stones are rare enough or warrant that kind of price, and even if the cutting process was the reason for the price ( as if it is not completely fucking automated by now). Fuck the diamond industry.
