If you have decent hand eye coordination and a reasonably quick on your feet, you’ll likely be an average beginner. Dont expect to pick up how to serve well in a day.

They operate under the exact same roof. Usually labeled as two separate addresses for tax purposes. It is exactly true.

- Comment on Could a minority in US Senate essentially disolve the federal state? 2 days ago:
Just for context, almost every federal court is a branch of a state court. State courts are still functioning. This is how a lot (not all) of the govt is.
So yeah lots of workers furloughed but barely a single building unoccupied due to the shutdown.
This is equally true of cybersecurity. For example, a non federal sysadmin may have privs to install, remove, maintain security software. That software is a private company and 24/7 SOC.
Source: im a apart of your 24/7 SOC with lots of govt clients, many clients with both federal and state workers, etc.

Stop making shit up to suit your narrative.

You’re thinking of publicly traded companies. That is not “companies”. That is a small sunset of companies.

If I hear someone using the word ‘Jew’ in any prejorative sense, I find it pretty immediately telling and offensive.

Edit your configs.
It is a resource hog It you don’t tell it not to be. And for private use, you absolutely don’t need it to be.

- Comment on How half the US lost part of their minds 3 weeks ago:
Probably has nothing to do with the economic crash and housing crisis in 2008 where a fuck ton of people lost their homes and their everything. Probably weren’t preyed upon at their most vulnerable or anything like that.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 5 weeks ago:
There’s huge outfits of scammers.
They buy data. Phone numbers, emails, sometimes passwords etc.
They phish, they smish, they vish.
When a fish ends up on rheine they try to reel em in
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 5 weeks ago:
I imagine this will actually create competition. Android is open source. It can be forked.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
How will your ex wife feel about seeing you two be intimate? For some this would be a fucking dagger in the soul. For others, could be hot. For others, indifferent.
Do you and you ex wife sleep in the same room? Will you and your girlfriend?
If the space is adequate, doesn’t involve a big physical relocation for your ex wife, the house is yours alone, the kids are old enough to understand, and you plan on all being respecful, the yeah, it can work.
That’s a bunch of ifs. Not all are in your control. Any are not met and you are the asshole.
If say it’s dicey.
- Comment on Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans? 1 month ago:
The how many rs in strawberry breaks it because it doesnt read your question. It tokenized it. So it seems (straw)(berry) and knows contextually that when berry follows straw with no whitespace it means a different set of things that if there were white space.
The tokens have, basically, numeric value. So it doesn’t read your characters. That’s why that’s hard for it.
Ideas that recurse in themselves tend to fail as well. i.e. “say banana 142 times” will not produce the expected result.
As to how they fix them I’m not positive. There’s a bunch of ways to work around issues like these.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 month ago:
Step one: where is hour hand? Is it on a number or after? Is it approaching a new number? This is already enough to estimate.
Step two: where is minute hand? Is it on a number, or after? Is it approaching a new number? Dead center?
This is enough to get precise time within about 90s.
If the hour hand is a little past 5, I know the minute hand is between 12 and 4. Oh, it’s between the 2 and 3. Closer to the 2 but definitely past it.
It’s 5:12. Maybe 5:13. Maybe 5:11. Probably 5:12.
- Comment on Why is it so common to be interested in true crime when at the same time you're disturbed by it? 1 month ago:
Because you’re disturbed by it.
Sometimes it’s that simple.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 month ago:
Oops! Fixed.
And yeah I’m not a big NASCAR fan (can you tell)? But recognize a feat is a feat.
But it’s not different in that we’re talking about athletes with unfair advantages. Trans athletes have never shown their ‘leg up’ helped the dominate the field. The same cannot be said for Dale. That’s why I tease, do we take that accomplishment (that I got wrong 😳) away with an asterisk?
Of course not. Same goes for a trans athlete.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 month ago:
I tend to agree but it’s an interesting angle.
Like, were not about to tell NASCAR fans that Dale Earnheart Jr needs asterisks because, you know, his dad. He had quite the leg up!
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
My favorite stereotypes are the race/STEM expert ones.
South Asia - programming, IT.
East Asia - Math
East Europe - Electrical Engineering
West Europe - High precision engineering and chemistry
At least as far as YouTube tutorials go, it’s basically cannon.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Officially never buying a VW, BMW, Tesla, Or Mercedes. Who else tried this shit? Toyota, right?
