A penny for your pots?

That covers cabronic half but not the spherical request.

Was it proven? I’d expect overwhelming evidence to surface after his death but I’m not aware of it.

Well put. I am not the biggest fan, there are quite a few weak episodes and I was cringing a lot at Lando and G’Kar for a long while. I dropped it on my first attempt and only returned to it when I ran out of trek material. I’m now on last few episodes and, yes, it was worth it. The amount of character growth, the crazy long story arcs and the sense of direction is really unique. Or, if it’s not, I’d really like to hear about other contenders.

No, they are saying that this is #1 barrier for their happiness. So, not stopping the state-sponsored genocide, or getting rid of masked thugs that erode their basic freedoms, or having a healthcare safety net. They just wished they could afford more stuff.

That tech is not there. The cam has it’s own status display on dashboard that shows"vigilance". On 5 hour drive on Interstate I got 0/5 maybe because I was wearing glasses?

There is so much stuff in modern cars that don’t work the way you want it to, or plainly doesn’t function. Dead-end menu items, touchscreen buttons that don’t do anything, driving “assistance” for collision detection with many false positives…

I’d want the least amount of software in my car, but the industry marches blindly the other way, and they seemed to have inherited QA from Microsoft.

Took me a moment

I enjoyed this so much more as it was at 24 upvotes when I came upon it. Just barely qualifies for plural of dozen.

Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I’ve slammed them.

No no no! The “show all posts in reverse chronological order” cannot be a description of an outcome; it is phrased as a request or a command. The outcome description would be “posts get shown in reverse chronological order”! Also there is no way to show all posts, that’s not really possible with finite resources.

Unless you were thinking of an algorithm that prints out text “show all posts in reverse chronological order”, then you are completely right in that being the outcome.

I spent few years using it professionally and mentoring others, but never felt comfortable with it. Small eternities spent fighting the language constructs and solving typing puzzles. My take away is that I could just barely fit the C++ in my head and then there’s no room for anything else. I’m done with it for good.

Being in “this is obviously wrong” category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

I sense a story? Tell us more, why’d you get it and then remove it?

Not to my eyes. None of the tells are there, looks very coherent.

Thanks! I’ll stick to mobile internet then for now.

Is there a satellite service offering internet connectivity in EU? I spent some time being bounced around the eutelsat web and my takeaway is they don’t deal with individuals.

Do it to have a laugh but don’t kid yourself this will change anything. Your time is limited and precious, the machine can scale beyond our comprehension. It doesn’t feel and can’t be humiliated or humbled.

It’s not even about skill atrophy, it’s more subtle. You can quickly relearn forgotten skills.

Unlearning a habit, on the other hand, is much harder. If you get into habit of reaching for AI anytime something hard needs to get done it’s going to wreck your internal motivation and reward system. meme_historian describes it really well in this thread, I noticed the same thing happening to me.
