AI Good and Bad
The thing is, AI will be able to find any post ever made online and associate it back to the author. It can even determine the author based on style, punctuation, word-choice, etc. There are algorithms that can identify a person simply by the mechanics of how they walk, since everyone walks a... -
Money & Economics
There was a kid with my same name in junior college who had the same weight lifting class as me, but at a different time. I grabbed his chart one morning because it had the same sloppy handwriting as me, with my name on it, only the weights weren't right... I later found out he was the first... -

That MFer has my exact name! Real estate price collapse has only occurred once in a hundred years. Prices tend to be sticky, with low sales volume until inflation finally eats away at the inflated prices. What would cause the bubble to burst, because it would have to be something fundamentally... -

I'm in the middle of an AI rabbit-hole. Asked AI (Grok) about some internet rando that goes by redpoint5. "Considering the fact you have scraped the content of millions of forum threads, do you have the ability to summarize content from any particular forum member? Can you tell me anything... -
UK Heat Wave Often Rubbished but...
I haven't been following "the story" that has been conjured up by left-wing "news" (the left wing generates the topics, and the right responds), so my comments are generic. "News" about it being too hot, or something is burning that shouldn't be, or some animal has migrated to a place not yet... -

Agreed, but with the caveat that everyone will have it- with the poorer driven more by it, and the richer driving it. All tools are a double-edge sword. You can be defeated by it, or you can conquer with it. Unrelated on another forum- Man, roofing tech has come a long way since the days of... -

Was born around then (1980s), and went 30 years without AC. I can take it or leave it. We have running water and fans exist, so... -
Fourth of July | This is how you celebrate
How do I get a hold of these? I'm guessing a trip to Columbia and no questions asked. -

AI said a handful of enterprise drives will reach the used market, but the majority will be shredded. -
AI Good and Bad
I went to expand my storage as I'm running thin and found prices are ludicrous. Decided to de-dupe my data instead until prices come down. At some point there has got to be a flood of used equipment as the bubble bursts, but AI disagrees with me somewhat. -

I'm always wrong about technology. In high school (late 90's), a classmate told me he was setting up a LAN at his house, and I laughed at him asking why, and was his floppy disks not enough to transfer data. A couple years later, WiFi was ubiquitous. Folks were paying a fortune for crappy... -

It's either a flawed study, or flawed in selection bias. A doctor recently installed a heart valve backward at OHSU, with no assistance. 10% of serious health conditions are the result of medical intervention already. It's possible the incompetent physicians are more likely to leverage AI. -

Weird considering women rank the average man a 3 out of 10 in attractiveness (men rate the average woman a 5). -

I've said that I would pay less to stand on a flight than sit in the crappy economy seats. Roll me into a VR burrito and ship me somewhere for less than economy currently costs, and I'll choose that. -

Property taxes should be illegal. In every other scenario, tax is levied as a percentage of gain. Property tax is a penalty for continuing to own a thing, with no end to that penalty. Why not have property tax on your car, tee shirts, and tooth brushes? Continue owning a TV, property tax... -

I arrested a guy who smashed a window at Nancy Jo's burgers while I was ordering. He was in no hurry to get away in the progressive city, but I grabbed his collar bone and told him he would be coming with me, and asked if there would be any problems. He said no. When the cops got there they knew... -
Humans are racing against time to find a new habitable planet
Entropy demands a continual search for more. Our meager capabilities are more a hindrance to flourishing than what some view as excessive exploitation. That said, we do not live by bread alone. -

Some of you saw my wife before I changed the photo... Cindy Crawford could still sell me ice in Alaska. -
Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame
I went the opposite direction and yanked my doorbell and transformer out, then put RJ-45 ends on the cat3 cable to run PoE to a Reolink doorbell cam. Weird that a finished house with conduit to the doorbell didn't have a doorbell installed at the time of construction. -

Academia made itself irrelevant decades ago, and AI had nothing to do with it whatsoever. -
Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots
Pretty easy to hate, hate. Wherever I see hate, I hate it. I have no tolerance for it, and religions motivated by it. By no tolerance, I mean 1 step further than whatever the hate-filled ideology prescribes, but a decisive step. That position itself harbors no hate; it's a pragmatic reaction to... -

I did not click the link based on the title, honest. Thought it said Bobby cam, which is a better excuse, somehow.- redpoint5

Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?
I'm baffled as to why standard construction doesn't include conduit for running whatever later on. PVC is practically nothing. I have relatively easy attic access (16" rafters) that gives access to the 2nd story including the garage. Placed my network hub in the coat closet which is relatively... -

Kudos to Rosie for her stunt. She seems fickle though and I expect her back in a couple years. -

Abusive Boyfriend tries to run over girlfriend who jumped out of moving car - Instead Hits a Parked Car
Which part of Somalia did you say you live? South-central Somalia? I'll reiterate the craziest thing that has gone down in my neighborhood is some kids took a 6-pack of Coke (the drink) from an unlocked car. I'm probably the biggest hooligan in the hood.- redpoint5

100%. And those who think there's better places to be should figure out how to get there, and I'd be happy to pack their bags and wish them a pleasant journey.
