But how will AI learn to be a thin-skinned, small-dick energy twat? You know the type that only consumes information form a powerpoint deck for 10 seconds before launching into a million moronic questions because they didn’t read the tiny bit of information in the deck that they specifically asked for? Then they get mad because they’re giant toddlers who are more than anything, just some rich guy’s idiot kid.

I’m not the corporate powerhouse, but I am c-suite adjacent. I can’t count how many times these pricks move right to emotional manipulation. They really are one-trick ponies. Some know a little finance, and they will make the little they know into a huge deal. They’re just dinosaurs with a disposition to match.

I would MUCH rather work for an AI than some of these peabrained assholes.

I wanna hold a bunny! DAMN.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Probably don’t do anything with it at all, never touched it, don’t understand how it works either. You, on the other hand are probably a seasoned LLM engineer. Shameful of me to not understand that.

Just here to say that Jay Leno is not funny, never was funny. I have no idea why he is so beloved. I’ve watched his standup, it was genuinely awful. Then again, Jimmy Fallon hosts now, so I guess that show just exists to give low-talent comedians a thing to do where they are beyond filthy rich.

Conan is and always will be the better man.

I don’t know, it seems to me that most people know how to ask a question or make a request. It’s not that different. It’s just that a lot of people don’t understand what is possible and they freeze.

You tell them, to ask for anything you want. They uncork and say “So I can ask it for a chocolate cream pie?”. Partially in jest, but they do that because they don’t seem to have a comfortable knowledge of the limits. A person with little technical background has no need for output that they don’t understand. Once you guide them a little and let them know they can get a recipe for a chocolate cream pie and some practical advice on how to make it, that might be helpful, but little better than just looking up a recipe. You’d have to let them know that they can find multiple variants of recipes and have it rank them, compare them, and produce a summary of the most popular types. By now they’ve stopped listening and have gone to the grocery store to buy a chocolate cream pie and you’re standing there hoping they will give you a piece.

In summary, I wish I had some pie. What was the question?

Apple respects your privacy.

Also, I am the pope.

I can keep going if you’d like.

You know, I thought that we were at the point in society where we do not make assumptions about anyone’s body parts. That door swings both ways you know.

I can smuggle SO MUCH DRUGS in my ass. You don’t even know. Even if y’all got a second spot for 'em I promise nobody is going near my nasty ass. There could be a 1lb diamond up there, they’d just wave me by.

pork sword when it’s sexy time. As in “I’m going to thrust my throbbing pork sword deep into the gooey inside of your ham wallet”.

The ladies fucking LOVE it. I know, I have had oh-so-many women.

Why are y’all laughing?

not hot dog

I was at a bar, good ‘n’ drunk, went to take a piss. Bathroom is small, one urinal, one pot. I’m pissing away and I let a fart slip out, not a big one, just a good booty burp. The guy who’s back in the shitter raising a putrid stink has the balls to say “gesundheit”.

I wish I were that witty.

Do they run openwrt?

Why u think I’m not shitposting?

Running any LLM on truenas is not awesome. I’ve tried it with GPU passthrough and it’s just too much overhead. I may just burn all my stuff down and restart with Proxmox, run Truenas core inside just for NAS. The idea of a converged nas+virtualization is wonderful, but it’s just not there.

The host networking model alone is such a pain, then you get into performance stuff. I still like Truenas a lot, but I think that Proxmox is probably still the better platform.

“Experienced” is a poor term to use when describing nonexistence. You weren’t there, there was no mind, there was no you, thusly there is no memory and even if there were, it would be of nothing.

The notion is more that because you did not exist, you had no mind, no consciousness and thusly there was simply nothing. Not you, not an experience for you to absorb.

it’s a weird concept because there is no way to really describe it that relates to anything we know. We know ONLY of existing. We can’t know of not existing because not existing precludes the ability to be cognizant of it.

It’s one of those things you just have to accept. When we die, we simply cease to exist (unless you believe in an afterlife). The closest thing that I’ve experienced to being aware of non-existence is being put under general anthesia. You are lying there with doctors and nurses peering down at you over their masks, wearing their funny little hats, they tell you to count backward, by the time you get to two and a half, you’re gone. When you do eventually come back around, you just have a big empty spot that you time traveled through. No dreams, no thoughts, no awareness, just nothing.

The only difference with death is the whole not coming back around bit. Of course, since you will not exist, you will not be concerned with that part because you will not be.

Imagine if you got kicked in the nuts and then you stopped existing. You don’t exist, so it can’t hurt and you can’t worry about it what with your non-exisistent mind to not think about it.

Also, you don’t get a choice. You can worry about the sun setting, but that doesn’t stop it. Just try to enjoy the sunshine while you can and learn to be ok with the fact that night will eventually come.

I’m getting pretty pissy in my age. Too many responsibilities, not enough money and time to handle them all.

Books are one of the few things I am more than willing to pay full price for.

Sure the publishers eat a lot of the money, but the authors don’t do too badly.

The very nature of a book (unless something is published as an e-book only) keeps it from being enshittfied like streaming audio and video services. If someone were to print an ad in the book, I could just rip it out and throw it away.

Books are one of the last places where you just will not see an ad or be tracked, or have popups, and other irritating “features”.

Books are good.

Looks like you’ve been adopted.

Assuming we are in the US with this question. We will also have to assume that the driver is skilled and not a clot with two ham fists.

You probably should consider what a police chase will entail and the tactics they will use to stop you to get to a good answer.

Many police chases are stopped with the pursuit vehicle catches up and can PIT the fleeing car. Also, the police can use stop sticks to destroy/flatten tires of a runner. They have radio and multiple units, they will eventually bring a helicopter in if available.

Given that, you have a few requirements. You could go for straight speed. If you go fast enough, they won’t be able to catch up to PIT you. However, you cannot count on having clear room to run. Traffic, pedestrians, obstacles will be in your path at every point, so your car of choice should be fast enough to get away, but it should not be the only means of escape.

Most police cars in the US are Ford Explorers, some Dodge Chargers (though fewer and fewer), and a scatter of other things. You have to anticipate that they will be able to pursue quickly and sustain damage of their own as they will have things like push bars to absorb some impact. Your defense against a PIT is twofold: first, you do everything in your power to stay away using tactics like brake checking to foil their positioning for a push, constant movement and leverage other cars to act as obstacles. The other portion can be weight and suspension. If a cop were to get behind a Corvette and push, the hard suspension would flex little and the rear would be easily pushed given the relative light weight of the car. If you were in something like a lifted 4x4, now you go too far the other way. A push would upset the tall suspension and high center of gravity and could well end in a rollover even if not a successful PIT. You need the middle ground; something like a non-lifted full sized truck or SUV. Think Silverado or Tahoe. Enough weigh that the cop would have to go really hard at you to get the weight shifted, enough suspension travel that it would lean into a push, but not tip over as easily as something tall.

The big dogs won’t be able to move quite as fast as something zippier, but there is a practical limit to how much speed you really need. Rapid acceleration won’t really solve a lot of problems, your pursuers will eventually catch up once you hit a traffic tangle or obstacle. Being able to go around a corner fast is good, but is it enough to get you away? Being small also means more vulnerable and also a smaller fuel carrying capacity. You don’t want to run out of gas, that would be embarrassing. A full sized truck/suv will also blend in better if you were able to escape the sightline and that really is going to be important.

If you think you’re going to run and run, you’re eventually just going to get more units looking out for you, more pursuers and worst of all, a helicopter that you will not be outrunning. Your objective with the chosen vehicle would be to escape line of sight and then hide in plain sight. Take your truck/suv and park at a Home Depot or Lowes. If you are really wily, find something that’s reasonably similar and swap license plates with it. Go in, buy some lumber, throw it in and leave like you’re in no hurry.

The other option is to find a parking garage, dip in and leave. Assuming the vehicle is not registered to you or traceable back to you, you’re golden. In fact, put a small motorcycle in the back of the truck. Park in garage, leave on motorcycle or scooter at a modest pace.
