  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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  I’ve been there and all I can say is that the brain is a miraculous organ and can heal really well from a lot of trauma. You just have to stop damaging it, learn how to work with your brain rather than having your brain work for you, and exercise it. Challenge yourself to learn an easy skill, then another, then another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look into:

  Talescale for an easy but limited option.

  Wireguard with a dynamic DNS service for something that provides more flexibility with a little set up.

  Don’t open a publicly facing port unless it’s for an encrypted tunnel. If you don’t want to open your computer to a lot of threats. Always use an encrypted tunnel when opening something to the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo and Disney aren’t evil because they’re cooperations, not people. It’s the people who sit on top of Disney and Nintendo who are either diabolically evil or spineless cowards who want money and power but are too scared to use it for good. Either way, Nintendo and Disney “don’t serve the public interest”.

  There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.

  Even worse they had a device that could safely move the berilium spheres without the risk of them falling which would prevent the demon core from going prompt critical but no… Louis Slotin thought so highly of himself he literally couldn’t think that he could make a mistake and accidentally killed himself. Let that be the lesson that no one is mistakeproof.

  Discord’s complete lack of indexing. Although it’s definitely not impossible to scrape data from Discord it would take more resources than say reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay young one, we have a few things to get through.

  First, you should feel whatever you do feel. It’s not as embarrassing to have your parents help you than you might think. You’re in your early 20s, which means most of your life experience comes from when you were a child and embarrassing parents were a social death sentence. You’re an adult now and to a lot of older adults stuff like that becomes insignificant compared to other things. That said if you feel embarrassed, you feel embarrassed, there is no should to feelings.

  Two, I suggest you tell your Dad that you appreciate what he’s trying to do, and that you’ll go on the date (because I think you should). You need to tell him that doing this without keeping you in the loop made you feel uncomfortable. He’s trying to help and it comes from a good place but the execution was a little off.

  Third, go easy on yourself. Finding a partner is not easy, and at your age you’re going to make mistakes, big ones but that’s okay. That’s what living is. Just make sure you don’t an STI or you or someone else pregnant. Unless future you is trying to have a kid, in which case good luck!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MD = oMega Dumbass⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But if they’re not listening, you just gotta call them stupid weirdos and make them feel uncomfortable in public. Make their friends laugh at them, make it seem like your side is having more fun. The fear of being excluded will eventually pull them over, willingly or not.

  I’m glad that you’re engaging with the topic, but that suggestion won’t help. Publicly embarrassing someone who is holding onto an emotional belief like ‘I can never trust the companies that make vaccines.’ just pushes them to double down. Vaccine hesitancy and how to address it is a well studied topic and any form of attack just pushes the person into defense mode.

  The best solution is actually compassion from those the vaccine hesitant most love and trust. Vaccine hesitancy begins with a lack of trust in the medical profession. Which may or may not be well founded, the medical community has some bad people in it.

  Regardless, saying to your loved one “Okay you don’t trust the scientists, but you do trust me, and I trust the science on this one.” Is much more effective than arguing or publicly embarrassing someone.

  Here’s an AI summary of your distain for AI:

  I’ll begin saying this when people ask why I want “dumb” machines.

  AI summaries lack quality, ads distract drivers, you want a washing machine without ads, you don’t want your TV to watch you, you want machines to be submissive.

  How did I do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In regards to nuclear power plants, the first and second loops are recycled constantly but the third loop can either be recycled or open loop. That’s why most nuclear power plants are built next to large bodies of water. They use the water from a lake, ocean, or whatever to do the last cooling step. It’s possible but it’s not as cheap as throwing away the warm water once you’re done with it with cheap cold water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but that’s expensive. It’s a lot cheaper to just draw from the municipal supply and discharge it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On the vehicular manslaughter sure, on drunk driving charges, I should hope not. Sure this time a Nazi scumbag who deserves to die was killed, but next time it might be someone wholely innocent. Just because we hate the victim doesn’t mean what she did was reckless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She's a keeper⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Me neither, it implies that dating is just basic stats. Which no, because dating preferences aren’t independent variables. If you score low with a potential partner on a particular quality that doesn’t mean they’ve rejected you, unless that quality is a deal breaker. They are variable’s that are dependent to and from other variables, how are you with pets, are you pursuing a life goal you have set out for yourself, how are your relationships with others, ect.

  If a healthy pet is fat, it’s the owners fault. Their owners control their food, assuming that the pet doesn’t have a condition, the owner has control over their pets weight.
