What was the question?

On my ass.

And that kids, is why you should study engineering in college.
- Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it 1 week ago:
If you’re smart, you’d use your personal computer running a local AI model. It’s your expertise that made working prompts because AI on its own is trash. So when you leave, your knowledge goes with you.

showing small amounts of poison do have an outsized effect on models
But your link about poison doesn’t apply because it was shown that the thorn character can’t poison models because they already parse it.
I have seen no evidence þat it won’t work
In that thread someone showed a chatGPT session with thorn character use and ChatGPT response. They proved it didn’t work to you.
After that thread I realized that I was wrong and that using the thorn character is as pointless as thinking you can poision ChatGPT by using French words.

Kids aren’t alcoholics like the older generations. The rest is capitalism moving chairs on a sinking ship.

I supported him when he said it was to poison AI. Then someone proved to him in a thread it did nothing to poison AI. He didn’t reply and then showed up a few days later still doing it.

They don’t want full slavery. Debt slavery is more cost effective. Why buy a depreciating asset?
- Comment on The slopification of recruitment 1 week ago:
The OP called out anyone working for MS when they are possibly doing work less related to supporting Israel than a Linux contributer working in Israel for the IDF.
Are you going to give up using KVM (which things like proxmox requires), because it is supporting Israel? (KVM was built by Qumranet, an Israeli company before being bought by Redhat. So funding for KVM goes to those Israeli developers.)
Is giving out bullets for free morally better than selling them?
- Comment on The slopification of recruitment 2 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong but AMD powers Israel’s war machine, Israel runs a lot of Linux, and the US federal government employs 2.3 million civilians who are more complicit than a MS tech keeping GitHub running.
The entire world is comfortable with genocide.
- Comment on A real, 100% unedited promotional picture from Kohler toilets 2 weeks ago:
No need to apologize. Even access through that panel is ridiculous. Those panels are 20x40cm max. Working at 90 degrees through a small opening is unnecessarily hard. And major repairs, which will be once every 30 years or so will require ripping the wall open.
It only makes sense for commercial installs where Hotels go through complete renovations every 10 years and and an extra .5 meter clearance is critical because the bathrooms are tiny in downtown European cities.

- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 3 weeks ago:
Prebuilt homes, even prebuilt sections, not including trailer homes, are extraordinarily rare in the US.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 3 weeks ago:
And that’s how we end up with all white/grey houses and cars. Everyone is more concerned about resale value than living.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 3 weeks ago:
The 1990 looks like 1890. I’d suggest that makes it the timeless decor.
- Comment on Self-hosted fully working ST:TNG voice computer interface 3 weeks ago:
It’s not different than pirating an mp3.
- Comment on Self-hosted fully working ST:TNG voice computer interface 3 weeks ago:
Is there a guide on how to duplicate this? I saw a voice to LLM back to voice tutorial a few weeks ago but it was much slower and the developer talked about the fixes needed that you must have implemented!
- Comment on Self-hosted fully working ST:TNG voice computer interface 3 weeks ago:
Fantastic! I built my own lcars control panel for a wall in my house using Html/JavaScript and always dreamed of finishing it with voice control.
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
Ads failed and subscriptions failed too so they went out of business. The free news model was tried for many years and failed.
Someone needs to pay the journalists’ salary.
- Comment on Should've just picked a better password 3 weeks ago:
Ok, I’ll capitalize the first letter and add an exclamation point to the end. Happy?
I bet brute force hash checkers assume the first letter is capitalized because of current password policies.
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
If it wasn’t ads then what exactly was it? If free with ads was working, it would still be free.
You claim you can leverage that to other sales but it didn’t happen.
NYT is publicly traded. You can see their revenue, costs and everything. They made 2.5B in 1995 and 2.8B in 2025. Factoring inflation they have lost half their revenue. That means half the reporters lost their jobs.
Forcing people to pay like they used to pay for paper is working:
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
You have conflated “free to the public” and working for free into the argument.
Yes it should be free to the public. But that requires a taxpayer funded journalism.
The workers who are already underpaid should not be required to work for free because their work is important. That’s incredibly regressive.
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
I’d like to know the reasoning behind people downvoting.
You don’t think the lab worker who tested the eggs should work for free. Why should the reporter work for free?
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
The NYT is a capitalist business. Why would you expect them to give you news for free when this is a perfect opportunity for them to exploit fear to get more subscribers?
- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 4 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t know what you are arguing about. If someone has $100 it is technically worth more than $100. If they give you that $100 you now have that $100 which is also technically worth more than $100. It’s the same $100 + unspecified future value either way.
If you argue the $8.4 trillion in net worth of Billionaires is worth more than the $8.4 T, then if that $8.4 was taken from them it is also worth more.
- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 4 weeks ago:
So it doesn’t change anything. You get $30k and yes that $30k is worth more because it can generate maybe $3k in investment income for you a year. It’s still only $30k.
