  Killing in the name of! Killing in the name of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll say two things that I have actually found useful with ChatGPT, helping me flesh out NPCs in the tabletop RPG campaign I’m running, and diagnosing tech problems. That’s it. I’ve tried to program, have it make professional documents, search things for me, all of it sucks compared to just doing it myself. Definitely not worth poring a significant chunk of the global GDP into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi’ isn’t left-wing propaganda, it’s what my grandfathers taught me. Those men were definitely not “Left-wing” lol!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've done it, boys⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair to Musk (LOL!) NASA was chock full of former Nazi scientists back then. You don’t believe me? walk into NASA sometime and yell “Heil Hitler!” WOOP! They all jump straight up! R.I.P Jessica Walter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The reason women cover their drinks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I compare him to Heinrich Himmler, who was Adolf Hitler’s right hand man for most of Nazi Germany’s existence. They’re both equally pathetic, hate filled men who are responsible for causing a Holocaust. They even kind of look similar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standardization rule⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right! The regulation states that you need to use standard xxx#### except standard xxx#### costs hundreds to thousands of dollars. Except the law says you need to conform to it. Except only big companies have them because the little ones can’t afford it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific Exposure⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a roundabout way, yes a researcher does get paid for their publications but not directly. Universities exist on their reputation and their reputation is determined, in part, from the publications their researchers make. So a researcher who publishes a lot of high quality publications has a better chance of being offered a position at an institution with a good reputation, which can offer to pay them more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately those are the most expensive parts right now because they both require memory chips. Perhaps consider buying used, might be tough to find DDR5 DIMMs but used GPUs are plentiful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA, splitting hairs.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well obviously the only people who care about protecting children are The Chosen People of God, the Republican party. Everyone else who isn’t a Republican is a child molestater just waiting for a vulnerable child. We should give Republicans, who are the only good people ever, access to any child they want any time so they can protect the Children from the disgusting dangerously deranged Democrats. /S

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because middle class is used wrong in North America.

  Poverty class is simple, you don’t have enough to live.

  Labor class is divided into three;

  Low labor, your barely paid enough to scrape by.

  Middle labor, your paid enough for your work to live.

  High labor, you’re paid well for your work. Perhaps you own your own small business.

  Middle class, you aren’t paid a wage or salary anymore, you’re income comes from the things you own. As rich as a politician or nobility but not much political power.

  Upper class, in old Europe this would be the nobels. Duke’s, Earls, Lords, that type of stuff. In modern north America this would be the ultra rich. You have political power and you own a lot of stuff. This is where most representatives are.

  Politician class, former Royal class. You rule, extreme political power and wealth.

  Most people in North America think they’re in the middle class when really they’re in the Labor middle class, it’s very different

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, it really depends on the game. Battlefield with Art Stylized graphics would look terrible, just like how if Final Fantasy was done with Realistic graphics would be weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Year? In this economy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There may be some rose tinted glasses there bud. 2009 was also the peak year for people losing their homes and unemployment from the 2008 financial crisis. The wars in the middle east were in full swing. Plus way more people who thought the world would end in 2012 than you would think which was so annoying.

  Aye but where be it the Captain’s are getting these Webrips be the question. Thar answer be the streaming services me mate’ee. It be their content pirates be plunderin’.

  I can get MDM-Amine, though I doubt anyone would want to get anywhere near that shit. It’s incredibly toxic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I hear ‘So This is Christmas’ by John Lennon one more time I’m going to lose it. It sounds so bad coming out of a PA speaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I never really knew that she could dance like this. She makes a man want to speak spanish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like hard drive prices. Looking at Newegg their hard drives are always “on sale” it just depends on whether the sale is $10.00 or $50.00.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the only reason French cars are still made is to make Italian cars look good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear neighbor...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The number of people on virtual meetings with smoke detectors crying out for a new battery drives me insane. 9v batteries are not expensive and smoke detectors save lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a really big brush you’ve got there, really painting everything in broad strokes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI behavioral analysis on factory workers, every step is monitored including attention detection from facial expressions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to tell you this but that’s not how it works. The people who used to paint cars as they come off the production line aren’t creating interesting patterns for automation to paint on a car. There are just no production car painters anymore. Automating a job away doesn’t free the human up to actualize their life goals, it eliminates their income and makes their lives more precarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The capital comes from the profits from other markets. Which comes from exploiting workers. The original investment didn’t just spontaneously expose itself, people chose to flow money into it. They’ll pay for the next bubble with the profits C-suit executives stole from their workers and the little guy. They will take what should have been yours and bet it away on some fever dream that was doomed to fail from the beginning. All in the hopes that they might make their wealth get more outrageously excessive before this bubble bursts and they try again on the next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What was left after the cryptocurrency crash? A whole lot of GPUs that got repurposed for AI. They’ll just get repurposed for whatever extremely computationally intensive thing some computer engineer comes up with. Until that bubble bursts, rinse and repeat. What’s happening is project managers are selling the next big thing to make a lot of capital really quickly to a board of directors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To piggy back off of Arcayne’s comment

  I’d recommend setting your sights on the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies of your data, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site. Hetzner Storage Box is a good cheap offsite option.

  I don’t backup everything to a 3-2-1. I at least have everything on a 2-1 backup scheme. Two copies, one offline. My personal photos and videos are on a proper 3-2-1. I can redownload my movies and music. I can’t retake pictures from my childhood. It saves a lot of money doing it that way. My personal media is less than 1 TB, whereas my whole collection is many TB and would be prohibitively expensive to 3-2-1.

  Unless it was an annular eclipse, or it was a total eclipse and they weren’t in the path of totality. Then this is all they would see. Regardless without eclipse glasses you shouldn’t look at either eclipse at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I won't delete them either for nostalgia reasons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interns are another name for co-op. Higher education is where most of that happens. A lot of high schools will have internship programs too but those are different. So most interns are higher education students that have taken an internship over their summer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I won't delete them either for nostalgia reasons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An intern from a University probably won’t get paid but an intern from a Community College probably will get paid well.

  Just be more careful than Santa. He only checks his list twice cause the worst punishment he gives is a lump of coal. The guillotine is a lot more absolute in its punishment.
