It’s one of those things I know is hard to explain. Similar to the covid pandemic, I kept saying “I want to read the papers 10 years in the future”. I want to know what happens after the hype and actual science of the impact something has becomes available.
I’m extremely skeptical that a tool that offloads basic critical thought and brainstorming will be good for society as a whole. I use it sparingly, but it usually wastes my time. Except for summarizing things it is good at that.
I think it will collapse into normalcy in a few years, and it will be moderately useful. The stealing it does is also a major problem.
As a strange example, I asked Gemini a question similar to my published thesis. It stole directly from my these with no attributions.

I think its more, roles that didn’t need specialty skills are being removed by a very dumb tool that dumb people think is amazing. It seems amazing if you dont understand the thing you are asking it to do.
Living off the land is a great example. I grow ~10% of my food in a large garden, mostly tomatos, apples, pears, and peppers. Most people dont know how hard and specialized it is to do this. When we lost power for a week 2 years ago, we were totally fine. Provided food to our neighbors, no issues. Because of our time spent learning how to grow and preserve food.
I’d argue allowing the offloading of the simple specializations AI can handle makes an overall more useless person.

Honestly, navigation is an insanely satisfying skill to work on. Navigation without GPS fills an instinctual bucket that makes no sense to me. Letting it atrophy is a big failure in becoming a functioning adult imo.

I have one of these stupid fucks trying to weasel his way into buying a truck from the recent widow I’m fixing/selling it for. This fucker thinks he can swing in and buy it for an IOU. My only other interaction with him is brandishing a gun because his ex wouldn’t fuck him.
- Comment on Why did the Crocodile Hunter die? Was he aggervating sting rays. I watched and messed with them in the gulf. But not one has ever try to sting me. Was he piising them off that much? 5 months ago:
There is a video that was never released of his death. The claim was that the sting ray hit his heart directly, which makes sense. Sting rays are very easy to agitate accidentally, sort of like a bee. He got really unlucky even if he were annoying an animal.
Hate the pointless narrative that he was bad for wildlife. Most American millennials love nature because of Steve. He is why we like the aussie accent in bluey imo.

Yep, there are small furniture manufacturers all over the place where I live. We bought our couch from one of them. $5k for a couch smaller than a sectional from costco. But it’s repairable has a long warranty and is much more durable and comfortable.
We also have a fine wood furniture place that does solid wood stuff. $10k for a bedroom set. I’ll stick with ikea until the kids move out.

I know someone who was allergic to onion and garlic. Their food choices made me sad, but yeah, go get checked for food allergies if you can. That not being weird enough, lymphatic cancer cured them of the allergy.

I choose not to have empathy for those who wouldn’t have empathy for me in the same situation. He openly mocked people who die to gun violence, so no sympathy from me. I lean towards enjoying that he is gone. The line for me is killing is bad, but I’m glad he’s dead.

Men are the most pedantic assholes to other men.
Treating women like they are soft little creatures is insanely sexist. Treat them as equals and they will treat you the same. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for other men to understand this.

For me it’s cutting the big toenail too short. I cut it straight across on the inside edge. Leaving about 1/8-1/4 inch of white. Toe builds a callous under it that never goes away. If i cut it short it hurts for a month.

We do. They were printed from a print service that ships them to you. We do physical albums because I find it easier to hand to visitors than handing them my phone or trying to curate albums I can share digitally. Also don’t have to manage who has access to my digital albums.
- Comment on Hmmm who could it possibly be? 1 year ago:
It depends what you want to do. System integration is sort of the broad name for people in my field. Its a software stack sort of like how networking layers work. Controls->scada->MES->janky messaging connector->SAP with other random stuff sprinkled in. The Wikipedia article has an OK introduction to it.
If your interested take a controls class that actually uses Rockwell or Siemens PLCs, not the theoretical stuff. There is also open source stuff that runs on arduino or other controllers.
Or see if you like programming. Python is used for inductive automations Ignition SCADA and visual basic/C# is AVEVAs wonder ware. Their are others out there, these are the ones I’ve used.
- Comment on Hmmm who could it possibly be? 1 year ago:
I’m a system integrator, and though I don’t do it right now, I’d consider myself an expert in dairy. I could see someone specializing in chocolate similarly.
The reason people don’t know about these jobs is because they aren’t advertised very well. My MS in mechanical engineering barely touched on it and I sort of fell into it on accident by knowing someone in the industry.

Good parenting my dude. I kept telling myself that repeating the same failing routines was insanity, so I ran experiments on her. Some kids are just soooo difficult.
- Comment on :-) 1 year ago:
This is the one thing my kids did well. First one slept through the night day one. Second took about a year to stay asleep once she was asleep.
And I’m gonna be a hypocrite here. Sleep is a learned behavior which needs to be constantly reinforced. I know parents with super easy kids who never set boundaries around sleep time which caused their kids to be difficult sleepers. Don’t ever allow them to get up after bed time and you’ll suffer a lot less. Our super difficult second kid learned we will only come into the room for short periods to meet her needs during bedtime. We started setting timers of a few minutes to let her learn that we aren’t coming in immediately when she started crying. Saved our sanity and slowly taught her to self sooth. I know it doesn’t work for all kids. But IMO a lot of parents will try to solve issues without the assumption their children can learn to tolerate mild inconvenience. It’s a huge cultural issue in the US.

I think it’s easy to dismiss the possibility of this kid existing. I am absolutely not a perfect parent but this kid is literally an asshole. Still love her though.
My wife and I think we are mild abuse victims from this kid. We confirmed it’s hereditary with my MIL. My wife as a child was the same monster this kid is. If you listen to her scream she just purposely eggs herself on. She broke our nanny and almost a dozen daycare people. I always say she has like 3 toddlers worth of personality that she is trying to figure out and only recently she is starting to sort it out.
We tried everything related to colic and nothing changed her. Gripe water with fenel seed sort of worked. Omg im just remembering, hiccups 100% of the time after feedings. She almost never ate more than a ounce of formula. My wife had mastitis which killed milk production. Kid was so noise sensitive that I couldn’t close a car door outside the house while she was napping. She needed a pacifier to sleep but would purposely spit it out. She whale tailed for almost a year. Naps were more stressfull than awake time because she needed to sleep 1.5 hours or she would screem constantly during awake time. We think she also had measles at one point, the hospital didn’t do anything about it even after confirming what it likely was.
Kid broke my brain to the point where I understand where PURPLE crying is needed. My memory and anxiety are only recently recovering.
- Comment on :-) 1 year ago:
I agree with everything you said and I used to think all kids could be fixed by schedules. But our second child was the antithesis to any of these methods. She screamed for almost 2 years regardless of anything we did. I constantly changed our approach to her to try to find a solution and nothing worked for more than a week. She is only recently getting better now that she can understand us.
We are now the parents that discuss our shopping list while she screams on the floor in the grocery store. Some kids are kinda asseholes. Fortunately she’s extremely cute while being an asshole.
- Comment on What grass starvation does to the perma-online 1 year ago:
The storyline is a fascism. Frank thought libertarianism would stop what he was writing about. He didn’t want fascism but wrote about it. The second book is mostly about Paul falling apart and dying. Even though he thought he could follow a perfect path to being a perfect leader.
I personally don’t care much about literary complexity. I find it interesting, and that’s all that matters to me. If you disagree, that’s fine too.
- Comment on What grass starvation does to the perma-online 1 year ago:
Yeah, but that isn’t why people like it. Like Harry potter and Wizarding world of the transphobe.
- Comment on What grass starvation does to the perma-online 1 year ago:
I’d not looked into Frank before now, but I’ve read 2.5 of the dune books. It’s weird to see he was a self described conservative and libertarian. The whole dune story seems to mock everything he stands for politically. It’s like he was completely unaware of the power structures he was writing about exist across all US (and non-US) political parties.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 year ago:
This is everywhere on the internet. I think it’s people looking for an easy way out in arguing. Purposely include a few logic fallacies and watch as the vast majority of people latch onto them. Ignoring any previous points they were trying to make. I like ad hominem.

My dad is genX and uses it the same way. I have explained it to him multiple times that it’s like sighing at someone.

Yep. Winter tires stay soft at lower temperatures increasing static and dynamic frictions in winter conditions.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 1 year ago:
Totally incorrect for both posts. A geo with winter tires is better in the snow than a truck on 40 inch mud tires. Winter tires feel like turning on the cheat codes when it’s slick. They have like 10 times the grip of good all seasons below freezing.
I drive on unmaintained roads a lot in the winter. The hakapelitas on my truck let me drive in 2wd until the snow is a foot deep.
- Comment on Par for the course 1 year ago:
The problem both of your opinions have is they ignore the baseline improved treatment straight white dudes like myself get. We get better treatment and preferential hiring just by existing. I’m not afraid to talk to anyone in the tiny sithole towns I go to for work. I’ve have so many people walk past my boss and talk to me because he wears a turban, or my other boss getting talked over because she is a women. These examples aren’t directly related to hiring, but you are blind if you don’t see the obvious advantages we have.
