bumping into a girl
Is that what you call that? You bump into girls often? You think bumping into girls like that is cool do you?
have a block and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Legal vs Moral, he’s obviously a good enough guy, I think limiting his exposure to his own wishes is the moral thing to do. We can probably stop the argument there.

So you actually believe a military should have quotas based on arbitrary characteristics such as race or gender
Not arbitrary at all. I think the makeup should exactly mirror the population distribution as closely as it can. We invade places, it’s hoards of guys and it’s a lot of rape and pillage and less worry about illegal orders. I think a proper distribution would help that out a lot.
And that any disparate outcome would be evidence of racism or sexism
Nope, don’t give a shit about that at all. I just think they should try to have our military not being 99% white men covering each others asses doing shit they shouldn’t. DEI isn’t just about combating racism/sexism, it’s making sure that the staffing matches the population. A team with 20% minorities will be less likely to be overzealous on minorities. A team of 50% women will be less likely to rape or allow the rape of women in action zones.
Would that be your position taken to its extreme, while your actual position has the same essence but is much more sensible in degree? Or what do you think?
Not quite sure I grasp that series of questions. I don’t think they should force minorities/women into the military, but they should try hard to be representative and mix everyone together. Nothing beats sexist/racist views in individuals like working closely with people of other races/sexes. Hell it might even drive out people that should have power over other people.
It’s obviously not without issue. But we need more mixing of culture/race/sex on the daily basis or we’ll be in this while male superiority complex society forever.

probably non-cancerous cooling sytsem or some shit like that, maybe lower RF emissions
- Comment on for a better future for ur children 22 hours ago:
I would argue against having military, but that’d be pointless. If we’re going to have it, it should be as representative of the population as possible. It might save the lives of underrepresented citizens when we’re invading.

they can’t manage to sell a single dollar worth of their product.
Ohh don’t worry, that’s not how this works :)
We’re still in the venture capital stage. The companies are circle-jerking, paying each other off with venture funds and stock splits. They don’t need to be making money at this point because they’re already getting everything they ask for.
Those $50-$200 packages from all the big companies are just there to get people used to the idea. They’re making all their money on selling each other useless support chatbots and horrible phone systems claiming they can reduce their staff by half. Well, they could always reduce their staff by half, customers have had to deal with shitty wait times for years.
You’ll pay for AI by the prices of your software rising. Those costs are absorbed and passed on to you as micro-transactions inside your actual subscriptions and payments.
Once they managed to get the AI intertwined in every system out there, they’re free to collude as a market and raise prices slowly. AI will be the cost of software inflation and hardware shortages that make anyone with a datacenter or enterprise hardware manufacturing capacity very, very rich.
It could even be that in the end, this isn’t a bubble, it’s just a grift and it never pops, but because so expensive that your average person can barely eat if they expect to use software tools for their work.

It COULD help the average person, but we’ll always fuck it up before it gets to that point.
You could build an app that teaches. Pick the curriculum, pick the tests, pick the training material for the users, and use the LLM to intermediate between your courseware and the end users.
LLM’s are generally very good at explaining specific questions they have a lot of training on, and they’re pretty good at dumbing it down when necessary.
Imagine an open-source, free college course where everyone gets as much time as they need and aren’t embarrased to ask whatever questions come to their minds in the middle of the lesson. Imagine more advanced students in a class not being held back because some slower students didn’t understand a reading assignment. It wouldn’t be hard to out teach an average community college class.
But free college that doesn’t need a shit ton of tax money? Who profits off that? we can’t possibly make that.
How about a code tool that doesn’t try to write your code for you, but watches over what you’re doing and points out possible problems, what if you strapped it on a compiler and got warnings that you have dangerous vectors left open or note where buffer overflows aren’t checked?
Reading medical images is a pretty decisive win. The machine going back behind the doctor and pointing out what it sees based on the history of thousands of patient images is not bad. Worst case the doctors get a little less good at doing it unassisted, but the machines don’t get tired and usually don’t have bad days.
The problem is capitalism. You can’t have anything good for free because it’s worth money. And we’ve put ALL the money into the tech and investors will DEMAND returns.

And if that doesn’t scare them enough… Tinnitus
You go do some loud crap, concerts and such, don’t really care. One day, you’re sitting there and notice a ringing tone. It’s not necessarily loud, but constant like someone has a high speed fan running the background. Whatever frequency level your dammage is in, your brain fills in the gaps with a constant sound. Nothing and nowhere are ever quiet again. When you’re in a noisy situation where the noise is in the range of what remaining hearing frequencies you can still work with, you can’t hear anyone over. and as things progress, you can lose more ranges and the ringing can get louder and in different frequencies.

Consider:
Someone is getting knocked the F out on camera.
There is a crowd of people
No one is stopping or diffusing the situation
No one is stopping over the check on the fallen
Then calculate it appears to be a guy wearing a nazi arm band
then consider that it would be the shittiest idea for a halloween costume south of blackface and even wearing nazi garb would likely get you a rightful ass-kicking.
There’s no math there that makes that even slightly questionable.

You should be able to clean that up with a relay on a known accepted provider. Sending out emails through Amazon SES should be reasonable without them selling your information.
Selfhosting isn’t as clean as it used to be, you pretty much have to buy some form of protection to play.

Stop using the algorithm. Take your existing known likes and go search them out for their collaborators. Search out creators not single videos on a topic.

Heh, work has a fucking life insurance policy out on your ass. When open enrollment gives you that free coverage that pays 30k, they took out another 30k and it’s there to cover the cost of hiring someone to replace you.

Yeah we have vegetable and chicken and… O.o umm none please…
Are you sure? uhh ok let’s try chicken?
It wasn’t horrible, but I never went back, even knowing I could just say no.

I don’t work for them because I chose not to, but honestly, work for them, don’t work for them, it’s not like they’ll lack for employees. If you write that line of code that eventually blows up a hospital or someone else does, it will still happen. You’re not going to stop them by turning down job offers. You’re going to need to change politics.
No, I certainly did not. Kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth.

- That is impossible because of #1
I didn’t say it was personally good for you, I said it wont affect that job getting filled. And it won’t

When does a company decide to recruit?
- New contract
- Constantly to backfill
If anyone will take the job, there is zero difference to them. Humans are not statistically morale enough to hinder them more than paying well.

I totally agree, not taking the job can mean a HUGE thing to you. It just won’t affect the company whatsoever.
I don’t do it because I don’t like it. I worked for DOD years ago, on non-dangerous stuff but it wasn’t something I wanted to personally support.
