Just say no to #AI relationships. #NotEvenOnce Dude you wouldn't have a relationship with Microsoft Outlook, right? That is what you are doing when you get attached to a chatbot.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social guess I'm going to be driving up to Canada this fall for my next shot.

@arstechnica the best thing to come out of Highlander was the TV series. And I'm not talking the kids animated series

@just_one_bear@mastodon.social welcome to my world. :blobcatblep: I've had this song stuck in my head for the past 3 weeks after watching Practical Magic again for the first time in a long time
Damn it. I thought I figured things out with the Grandfather but I was wrong on the year of his birth. So the document I found online is the wrong William / Willie. And there are no people with my last name born in Quebec in that year. (Oh he was definitely born in St. Paul de Chester, Quebec. I just can't find anything that lines up.
Too many dang Williams in Canada with my last name in the 1800's.
So back to square one on tracking down documentation. The good news is I have my Dad's birth certificate and marriage license scanned. So that is half the battle there on tracing my ancestry back.

@gravepapaya@tiggi.es maybe. But I'd be really concerned about AI validating an elderly person's thought process on something harmful. Invest in NFTs!!!
A volley ball sounds safer. XD

@JenMsft@mastodon.social This is bullshit. This guy obviously has NOT met any women in the industry. Some of the most competent, technical, and skilled people I know in the tech industry are women. If for no other reason that they HAVE to be better. Will there be exceptions? Sure. Same with guys. Humans are humans. There are people who are going to excel at their job, some who are going to suck, and some who are ehhh OK. What type of plumbing the person has down below, has nothing to do with that.....*looks down* crap....where did that soapbox come from!?!? Sorry 😊

Not even remotely ready. I'd almost say its 10 years away but you need a foundation for it to run on. And the number of phones it can run on right now I can count on one hand. Which is not a good start. Classic chicken and the egg situation, sadly.
It's the 40 year anniversary of the #Chernobyl disaster. If you understand even a bit of how radioactivity decay works, this show should be the scariest movie ever made. I still believe that nuclear power is a valid type of power but there are about 100 qualifying asterisks behind that statement. You can't just put it in place and then ignore it. You also need to be ever vigilant about its redundancy systems and frankly continued research to make it better. Most of the spent fuel could be used again but isn't because we don't have breeder reactors.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social yes. One rule for AI is that it is predicting. If you are speeding that up you are sacrificing that predicting in some way by lowering the odds of giving you something meaningful and accurate

Either you are joking and missed the /s or you are a bona fided freaking idiot.
I want this day to be over.
-I forgot my work password due to making about 12 passwords last night for my ProxMox cluster. (The way I manage passwords is.... complex and unique but leads to confusion)
-I tried to change the password, too similar to prior so did something more complex. Forgot to hit save on password safe.
-locked computer to step away. Came back. Didn't have password.
-Couldn't change password again because of security.
-had IT set a temp password.
-logged back in and wrote the damn thing down for now.
-Took a drink of water from my glass.....had the small bandage on my nose from where the mole was removed this morning fall off and almost swallowed it.
Ps - And yes normally I dont write down passwords. But for today im making an exception. Keeping it in my pocket
If I get an EV BMW next year I need to figure out what plushie should be it's mascot. For years I've had a mascot for each car:
2002 Merc Cougar - Stitch
2006 Prius - Toothless
2016 Mazda 3 (Totaled within 9 months. Thanks asshole.) - Sven
2017 CX-5 - Sven
I'm thinking maybe Pikachu.
Totally accurate. #Enshittification

@ottaross@mastodon.social kagi.com has been my go to search engine for over a year. It's a paid engine but the fact is because of that, I'm no longer the product....no ads at all.

@arstechnica and nothing was learned about the BP shitshow. Because that's how this world works companies fuck the environment. And this current government does not give a single shit and just lets it carry on as is. Because giving a shit about the environment is for pussies... and Republicans in the 1970s.

@aspeedhttps://www.clamav.net/ But if you are on windows the free MS defender is good enough. Just don't run your daily driving account as admin and you should be fine.
The neighbor is selling their house and it just is reinforcing my desire to move. I can't for at least another year or two. Hopefully the markets stay good so I can make another 100K and then sell my house for $250K+200K from my investment funds + 100K mortgage.
