Yup. Had this dream about two months ago while in Vegas with a buddy for a concert, cept it was a urinal, and I was awoken to trying to piss in the corner of the hotel room.
- Comment on Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist 6 hours ago:
Don’t get me wrong, I certainly think AI/LLMs have their uses, more as an aid to humans. Medical diagnostics, front line customer service, clerical, every industry could benefit from having a computer doing basic to even advanced level support. What we’re seeing now though is all these execs think that the tech is at the level where it can replace entire workforces, and that’s where the fallacy lies. Imo, humans should always make the final judgement, especially when these decisions involve affecting other people. It has the ability to improve and enrich lives, but the way things are going is that they’ll be used to make the line go up at the expense of people.

If I had to guess, the entire reason they’re shoving AI integration into absolutely everything is to try to make it irreplaceably viable, if only to keep it relevant. The bubble pops when VC funding decides that maybe AI isn’t the holy grail they thought it was and the market on it tanks (bringing every associated stock down with it). Personally, I’m wondering if this bubble is what brings the house of cards down with it, because the amount of money that is all in on AI is absolutely insane, and for no good reason.

I’m fairly certain this is why the current administration is so vehement about not letting anyone regulate AI. We know it’s bubbling, they know it’s bubbling. It’s only a matter of time before the market finds irrefutable proof that AI has been oversold and investors bail.

The only thing I can gather is pushing whatever possible boundaries exist once they’ve won capitalism, including the diddling. Either that, or they realize once one acquires a certain level of immunity, they can carry out their sick fantasies. I dunno, burn them all.

These teachers are just teaching from the same cloth they were taught from.
- The teacher is always right.
- If the teacher is wrong, refer back to rule number one.
The teaching goals in this system are to teach obedience, not information. It’s highly useful when training the next generation of factory workers, not thinking individuals. The teachers are teaching a mindset.
And it varies from school to school, locale to locale. It depends on what the admin views as productive and necessary, almost like a culture in a sense, and is the difference between an inner city school vs a private elite school.

I have a family friend who moved to Idaho to be around more like-minded people, as they put it. She thinks everything going on is comedy, and is getting a kick out of watching people lose their stuff over what Fox says isn’t happening. Her and her husband have their heads buried so far up their asses it’s insane. She also conveniently forgets her kids are half Hispanic (their bio dad is Mexican), and then wonders why they tell her to go fuck herself.

There’s a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It’s maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.

Yup, I have my Unifi gear for the automated allocation like you said, though I think pretty much every SOHO manufacturer does this to some degree these days.
- Comment on What would you recommend to fix this home network issue. 2 weeks ago:
To piggyback of what neidu3 said, I think your issue is a wonky application of consumer hardware.
You can utilize your existing cable runs, but I would: -grab gigabit 4-8 port switch (a cheap Netgear 5p would work) -grab 2 access points (I’m a fan of Uniquiti, the nanos can be fairly inexpensive, especially older ones, these work as well). Make sure they include POE injectors (ubiquitis do)
Install the switch where you have AP1 and mainline that to your router (red wire), run an AP and the blue line to AP2 off the switch. Connect the POE injectors inline from the switch to the 2 APs. Bonus points if you want to add a 3rd AP at the main router (disable wifi on your router).
Uniquitis are pretty rad in that they’ll automatically select the best channel and power level to operate on give the density within your house as well as minimize interference from neighbors operating on the same wifi channels, and they’re self managing to a certain extent.
The biggest point is that you want to avoid chaining through devices as much as possible to minimize latency and throughput. Switches are especially designed for this application, while chaining through devices will absolutely impact performance. The ideal topography is wheel-and-spoke, where every device has a minimal hop path back to the router (router -> [optional switch] -> dedicated line to each AP/device). While you can rig an old router to act as an AP, especially with open firmware like openwrt, it’s still kind of a hacky way of going about it.

I feel that, if I’ve been tying one on I’m not likely to crash out immediately, but being home at a reasonable hour certainly saves from going overboard.

I remember doing that well into my early 20s, but instead so that I wouldn’t spend nearly as much on $7 beers. Now if I’m not home by midnight at the absolute latest I turn into a grouchy pumpkin.

I had this exact thing happen tonight. My wife is out of town, so I ordered dinner around 530 and started calling buddies to hang out. At about 7 after I ate, my couch was way too inviting, and vegetation occured.
Only reason I’m awake now was to tell the kids renting the Airbnb down the street to turn off their loud ass techno music that was vibrating my pillow.
Now get off my lawn.
