Light debugging I actually use an LLM for. Yes, I know, I know. But when you know it’s a syntax issue or something simple, but a quick skim through produces no results; AI be like, “Used a single quote instead of double quote on line 154, so it’s indirectly using a string instead of calling a value. Also, there’s a typo in the source name on line 93 because you spelled it like this everywhere else.”

By design, LLMs do be good for syntax, whether a natural language or a digital one.

Nothing worse than going through line by line, only to catch the obvious mistake on the third “Am I losing my sanity?!” run through.

And I thought school detention now was bad…

I don’t even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?

Also, if they’re watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it’s on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.

I’m very familiar with the world of academia. To be honest, many of them/us are surprisingly stupid, but for a reason. To get a doctorate in a field is no easy task. Your lack of knowledge in much else is because you spent all you had being knowledgeable in a specific thing.

So even if you think a doctor is a stupid person in general, there is NO EXCUSE for them being stupid in the one thing they spent years becoming an expert in.

So, is this “doctor” actually holding a doctorate in this field? Let me check…

…god, he has the most generic name it’s impossible to know.

On Reddit, I once bragged about having universal healthcare and got called a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

This is what happens when Xbox kids that use the n-word grow up. They learn new “bad” words and throw them around out of context and contradictingly. They don’t actually know what those things are, though, so it never makes sense.

I’ve been called a tankie here. I didn’t know what it was and looked it up, just to discover it was the literal opposite of the things I was saying. I was very confused and just put it down to frustrated self-projection. At some point they had been called that, it upset them, so now they use it to upset people too but they still don’t actually know what it is they’re saying.

If I see someone defaulting to Russian bot or tankie, I’ve found another Xbox kid and it’s in my best interests to just move on.

TIL Americans spell cancelling with one L.

It’s not for a lack of trying, but they have prioritised other things. But the more it seems as a prize target, the more likely it’ll get dropped because damaging Putin’s domestic reputation is paramount.

Ha. This limes up with a comment I made just a couple.minutes.ago…

I remember in 2016, it was pointed out that he very convincingly shared all the symptoms of pathological lying. This also connects with both the narcissistic and/or borderline personality disorders; which he also shares a lot of symptoms with, especially NPD.

I’m no doctor, but I feel like anyone can read into it and easily diagnose this one on his behalf. He frequently showcases first-rate examples and I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if a type of pseudologica phantastica based.around cult of personality was named after him.

To be fair, it’s a complicated topic. Some people see humour as a form of therapy or control over dark topics while others see it as a channel to project them. And both are true. Unfortunately many people lack the spark to discern the two and subsequently fall back on the behaviour they are familiar with; picking a side and setting up camp in it.

No, but of the left and right-facing, these are the most known. Especially with that specific simplicity.

They’re Buddhists.

If there’s one thing we all know about Neo-Nazis, it’s that they never, ever, ever fuck up the swastika and these ones are clearly right-facing. So, namaste.

Even for a military university, I’m inclined to agree. I would not be at all surprised if that were the truth.

It’s not. I work at a research university and while our critical systems are much less than that—mostly datasets and documents—repositories for research and knowledge management information are full of media that’s well over 150TB.

But…

destroying over 150 terabytes of enemy resources, including websites, databases, and file storage.

If it’s more the databases, yeah, that’s some huge damage. An information system holding 100GB of data could be the source of 20 years of pay, employee, org structure, access governance, IDs, the lot; gone. And all dependent systems to it go blind because they use that database to work, rather than storing their own copy of it.

However, we also daily backup those critical systems in multiple ways. This includes for ransomware. It can be destroyed and it doesn’t matter unless the hacker knew about and was able to also hack an entirely different setup geographically located somewhere else with its own security and network independent to what we primarily rely on. A lot of our data is, by law, scheduled and retained on government systems too, but only every few months. So there’s yet another hard hurdle to find out and attempt to breach. Get all three at once, yeah, you got us, but what an impressive and mammoth hack that would be.

After Amazon said there’d be more ads recently, yep, more ads tonight. Done with it. My living room is not a marketing platform. It’s finally time to go back to the convenience and ease of piracy.

The new model is based around pirating Clarkson’s Farm and donating to farmers. That’s the point anyway. No need to bring Jeff into it.

Whenever homophobes attempt to demasculate gay men, I always think of this Steve Hughes bit.

“Nintendo targets free marketing that’s much more effective than their really, really weird ads featuring skinwalkers from an alternate reality attempting to appear like normal humans doing the gaming.”

I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

But didn’t he say he won? While rattling off bingo numbers that seemed to have no correlation with the Polish?

Edit: Oh, god. I’ve gone for too many jokes at once. Maybe it’s time I have a kid so I can relish in their disappointment of such situations.

Edit Edit: Wow. I’m really pessimistic today.

It’s like Alphabet hate guaranteed money.

“How can we boost the next six months of investment for sake of stable income over the next decade?”

“More ads. Studies show everyone with internet access fucking loves them.”

*Brilliant! Welcome to entry level lower senior-ish management, Jenkins."

“YESSSSS! I can’t wait to tell the family about this when I’m on leave from this wonderfully accommodating work campus. All hail, G.”

“All hail, G.”
