Don’t defy the echo chamber lest you desire the down votes!

Lol no kidding. All my friends complaining about the outage are in ri/ ma, I’m in VT. Not sure if I’m on the same servers as the rest of east coast? Don’t even know how to check honestly.

I keep seeing all this stuff all over Lemmy and FB about the AWS outage and being in the northeast I dont understand how it hasn’t effected me in the slightest but I’ll take the W I guess !

It will always fall on the driver of the vehicle, as it should. I don’t care how self driving your car is, it has a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal and in the driver seat YOU are responsible with how you operate your vehicle. If u decide to trust a self driving feature that’s YOUR mistake. I would love to blame all these crashes on Tesla but the reality is that all these drivers aids and self driving cars having accidents is proof that you should be the one in control of your own vehicle. No crying about how the automotive nannies didn’t stop you from crashing the vehicle your driving, take responsibility. Don’t like it? Don’t trust the “self driving” nonsense (read: glorified advanced cruise control). Now one thing I don’t agree with is advertising as self driving, and I strongly believe self driving vehicles in public roadways should be ILLEGAL!

Despite all these “safety features” accidents are far more common now than 20 years ago. “Driver aids” do nothing but encourage bad behaviour, better off just PAYING ATTENTION to the 2 ton steel cage your throwing down a concrete cheese grater at 60+mph…

I forced a win 11 upgrade on my old Lenovo laptop and it’s been running mint 🤟

Yea original comment is funny. Definition of flotilla is a group of boats with a purpose. Not sure what else they would be calling it.

Not trying to be a smart ass but what do u suggest it’s be called? A convoy? Maybe a fleet?

Yea I have not been impressed with the Stellantis products of late lol. If I want to own a complicated headache I’ll just buy a bmw or Audi lol (of which I have had both and both have been more dependable and straight forward than these new Chrysler products…)

Trouble is the move to complete computerization. Back in the day we had physical keys which turned a physical switch to physically connect the power from battery to wake ECU. Now, we have a button that sends a REQUEST to the ECU to turn on or off, and as long as an acceptable transponder is around it will accept the request. If you turn your car off when u hit that stop button it REQUESTS that the ECU shut down assuming conditions are met. I have had a problem 202w wrangler JL turn on fine but refuse to shut off untill you pulled the terminals off the battery. This new age hyper computerized nonsense is why every mechanic hates these new age techno bullshit wanna-be computer appliances on wheels, canbus can be awesome for keeping all modules on the same page but one bad wire and the whole system takes a shit.

This guy has the definition of a metaphor on hand but apparently can’t look up what contrarian means 🤣

This^ our global market has made veganism a very healthy option considering we can get foods grown in other environments that are protein rich and such. I think if you were limited to only what’s local, being a healthy vegan would be a lot harder but having access to all manner of foods these days makes it easy

By definition contrarian is somebody who opposes or rejects popular opinion. So yes by definition being vegan is contrarian lmfao. Not saying I have any issues with it there’s nothing wrong with being vegan I’m just saying it is by definition contrarian to be vegan. And nothing wrong with being contrarian either! Judging by the votes on my original comment, it appears that me stating veganism is contrarian was in fact a contrarian opinion lmfao. I regularly have vegetarian and vegan meals, and I love my meat. Hopefully people didn’t get the wrong idea about my opinions on veganism as there are no negative ones from me …

So I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here and say that it is. Look at your teeth, humans are omnivores. Cutting out half the diet you evolved to consume is in fact a contriarian position. Not that I have any issues with vegans or vegetarians, just from an anatomical point of view we were designed to eat some meat! I do think calling people who don’t use AI “AI vegans” is absurd though, as diet has absolutely nothing to do with use of AI. Would be more accurate to say their AI fasting if we’re gonna use food related terms.

They absolutely can run closed loop. It does not cool as well as evaporative cooling (it takes MASSIVE heat to evaporate water) but it can work if designed right with large system capacity and big radiators. Trouble is it’s likely more expensive than pissing away the water and we know all that matters is bottom line.

Meh. My location sharing makes no difference to who I DONT want to see my location, your always being watched if u have a smart phone anyways 🤷 turning it on and off is too much effort to be bothered, I got nothing to hide from her.

My wife always has my location. I regularly go out for hours on my motorcycle and I’ll tell her I’m going for a hour ride and get lost in the woods for 3. Years ago I had to call her to pick me up after a truck decided to go left in front of me and shattered my arm into 4 pieces. Caller her from the hospital bed high as fuck on morphine. She has my location so if I stop responding for hours she can make sure I didn’t wind up in a medical center LOL.

It’s funny how everybody these days thinks they have ADHD because the phones their glued to trained them to have no attention span. Definatley not good for youngsters to have constant access to them! Not good for adults either!!!

If it’s just mirroring you one could argue you don’t really need it? Not trying to be a prick, if it is a good tool for you use it! It sounds to me as though your using it as a sounding board and that’s just about the perfect use for an LLM if I could think of any.

So couldn’t we say LLM’s aren’t really AI? Cuz that’s what I’ve seen to come to terms with.
