I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I’m not disagreeing with you and I don’t know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it’s an interesting idea that you’re not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

Is this skeleton jelly?

Oh my god, they finally quit it with the constant giveaways? I could not stand those and completely stopped watching the channel.

What the fuck

Smashing that unsubscribe button now. Like, fucking ew dude, don’t fucking open carry at Costco you numpty fuck. Ugh…

Yeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol’ DNF for me. I just wasn’t really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.

I would use wikipedia as a really nice source of sources. I actually convinced a middle school teacher of this, and she changed her spiel on Wikipedia accordingly.

I think a good doctor would provide this explanation to the patient. Be like “Okay, let’s get you fixed up! The medications and techniques we use change if you’re pregnant, so can you tell me when your last period is?” Only takes a second. Doctors should be aware that women often feel ignored and mistreated in a medical context (given the body of literature and studies demonstrating such), so like, they should work to correct that issue. It shouldn’t be difficult to do. It just requires a wee little bit of empathy.

If they stop zigbee2mqtt from automagically updating their bulbs then they’re dead to me.

Here’s the CVE author’s post on the issue if you’d like a more thorough explanation: https://maccarita.com/posts/idesaster/

Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there’s nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I’d hold off until you’re comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

You mean code completion that just parses a file into an AST and does fuzzy string matching against tokens used to build that AST? I would not personally classify that as AI. It’s code that was written by humans and is perfectly understandable by humans. There is no probabilistic component present, there is no generated matrix, there’s no training process, it’s just simple parsing and string matching.

It’s early and I’m tired and probably in a poor mood and being needlessly fussy, so I apologize if this completely misses the point of your comment. I agree that there’s other stuff we’ve been using for ages which could be reasonably classified as “AI,” but I don’t feel like traditional code completion systems fit there.

Same, this is the first I’ve heard of him. He sounds like a real fucking piece of shit.

Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. “Good” companies aren’t altruistic, they’re ruthlessly self-interested. They’re not going to give back to your project unless there’s a damn good reason for them to do so. There are times when permissive licenses are totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, BSD, or any other permissive license. Just use the GPL, folks.

edit: Using GPL from the getgo would have prevented this atrocity from occurring: https://github.com/coredevices/libpebble3/commit/35853d45cd0ec51cb732be866f6f72467653a613

They couldn’t have relicensed the project without community approval if it had been using a copyleft license in the first place.

Also, fuck off with your fucking AGPL license with a copyright transfer CLA bullshit. I’d love to see a new version of the AGPL that expressly prohibits copyright transfers. Never let a company take your rights away from you. A copyright license makes even the GPL effectively meaningless if the company wants to rug pull at a later date.

Yeah, that’s a “block and move on with your day” sort of account for sure.

That was my interest as well. I never liked the idea of hunting or using guns for self defense. I grew up target shooting, and it was great because it was a sport that a weak asthmatic kid with a flimsy ribcage could take part in. I don’t really do it anymore because I got tired of being around other shooters and I don’t really want to support the industry, but I miss it sometimes.

Yep, and it’s still used in some new ones.

OP is in the US, so no 3 phase power unfortunately ):

I’m hoping you get some good answers. I can’t wear long sleeves in my unheated machine shop (long sleeves + lathe = Very Bad™), and a 20 amp breaker can’t run a lathe and an electric heater simultaneously. I’ve got a diesel heater out there, but it’s just not enough to keep a drafty cinderblock building warm. I get pretty chilly out there, and some kind of battery heated vest would go a long way.

How close does it match this machine translation?

Fuck me until the room stinks
