That’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.
You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.
But that’s my cynical leftist view.
I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.
However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.
I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”
My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)

I think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 1 week ago:
There’s a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.
I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with “executioner style” shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.

From your user name to the link joke.
This is a real master piece

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my fiance, it’s that there’s both nothing wrong with a piece of media being for younger audiences and theres nothing wrong with consuming stuff meant for younger audiences.
Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 2 weeks ago:
Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.
That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

Nice! Maybe I can get that AI server working then.
- Comment on The Human Workforce Behind AI Wants a Union 2 weeks ago:
Good. Everyone deserves a union.
I do hope they do good things for the greater good of humanity though, which is historically what Google devs have unionized over seeing as they most certainly aren’t hurting for money.

I’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 2 weeks ago:
Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.

An AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Checked the videos you posted
This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?
More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Okay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.
How is it processing the data?
Where am I getting the data?
What is it doing to the data?
Who is paying me for processed data?
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 2 weeks ago:
That’s not a bad call.
There’s fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That’s me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!
I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 2 weeks ago:
15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.
My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

Hell yeah

I already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.
12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

Is it pretty easy to set up on a CLI?
I’d want to do that if possible.

- Comment on What are your thoughts about AI? 3 weeks ago:
I’m a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you’re already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you’re doing with the model because it isn’t trust worthy.
If you’re using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.
If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.
It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it’s worthless if you can’t verify the accuracy. And I’m worried people don’t care about the accuracy.
- Comment on VS Code: Open Source AI Editor 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t hate that. I’ve been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.
It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension

A plug-in for what?
And why isn’t a normal video generation app/site fine?

Fair, but if I’m technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren’t working anyways, I might as well try it.
