skeleton-wave Hi, I'm from Draw Lines Around Docs, do you have a moment to talk about forming a small, autonomous enclave of medical professionals in the state currently known as Rhode Island?

They went bankrupt because of private equity IIRC, though I've had one for the last 8 or so years and it's been solid.

On the housewares angle I've got a zojirushi rice cooker that's been going for like 15+ years with all the original parts.

I like the idea of them because I don't like dealing with dependencies changing and breaking stuff and I don't really care too much about disk space in the context of non-game desktop apps, as I don't tend to install lots of them.

That being said I absolutely hate that permissions are all over the place and flatpak doesn't ship a GUI to manage them by default, nor do you get any indication as to what permissions a program has until you try some functionality (like filesystem or camera access) only to find out it doesn't work out of the box.

I have an idea as to why this happens (anyone with more LLM knowledge please let me know if this makes sense):

  1. ChatGPT uses the example code to identify other examples of insecure code
  2. Insecure code is found in a corpus of text that contains this sort of language (say, a forum full of racist hackers)
  3. Because LLMs don't actually know the difference between language and code (in the sense that you're looking for the code and not the language) or anything else, they'll return responses similar to the examples in the corpus because it's trying to return a "best match" based on the fine tuning.

Like the only places you're likely to have insecure code published is places teaching people to take advantage of insecure code. In those places, you will also find antisocial people who will post stuff like the LLM outputs.

IIRC you can do both ( and also call in air support after awhile) re-supply flares are so clutch in the early game because suppressor lifespan is so short and popping open the iDroid every time is a hassle, esp if you just fucked up and triggered an alert

nah I'd guess it's an AI job

I'll confess I've used AI tools to automate job applications, and the results absolutely sucked. It would answer "Have you ever been fired before?" with "No, but I'm willing to learn". Honestly it's not terribly useful most times.

IIRC she moved to the US before her dad became President, but I could imagine she stuck around because being the President's kid is a position where absolutely everyone wants a piece of you, and (if you want to get by on your own merits) it's probably better to live somewhere that it's not all that relevant/recognizable to people. Her personal politics aside, it seems pretty reasonable to not -

Just a question, would raising a 6 year old to believe that he is the reincarnation of the Buddha be considered child abuse? If so, why wouldn't the FBI put the child/family in witness protection if there was a sect of people conspiring to abuse this child?

you can tell they realized they were overplaying their hand by introducing those apps with the crazy deals and those weirder value meals that are not numbered/not part of the standard sandwich+fries+drink formula.

Pretty sure this is why Taco Bell did slightly better - they don't have any weird "deals" on their app but you can get a combo meal for like $5. Far more straightforward imo

They had trashcans, but they switched to plastic bags during a sanitation worker strike in 1969 b/c the chemicals industry donated them.

Hey if this helped you, great! I mean it's not ideal on my end (lol), but at least there's a finish line.

 

Spent most of the last month hospitalized, actually. Found out by having a massive ulcerative colitis flare up that I needed to go to the ER for. Missed Christmas with my gf's family, was supposed to be my first with them deeper-sadness and I was really looking forward to it. We just moved across the country together so it would've meant a lot to me. Honestly was excited to not spend it with mine because my sister's kids are crazy loud (though I do love 'em) and my parents/BIL are pretty cringe . Still bummed because I took really good care to buy nice gifts for everyone but I couldn't ship them out to them.

The kicker is I'm gonna have to have my colon removed because it is so thoroughly cooked - but at this point I'm kinda cool with it because that means I can't have ulcerative colitis anymore. And once everything heals up they can reconnect the ileum (IDK the doctor was talking about levels from MGS2 or something) back up to my butthole so I won't have to use colostomy bags forever.

I'm counting my blessings because they are giving me pain meds regularly ( I like opiates, it's bad but I don't fuck with them in my day-to-day so it's a nice treat), I've stopped nicotine/caffeine/drinking for the last 3 weeks, and I won't have to deal with drunk people but it's rough not being with my gf for the night.

Anyways Happy New Year Hexbear!

 

Has some other pretty good nuggets there; esp complaints about the cost of gas and gasp, shock horror the lack of big box stores and 2-day shipping.
