Okay, I get it, you don't know time zones already so you have to research every time but most people don't think of the other people please.
So every time you deal with somebody in a different location, you can't assume anything about the hours and times you have to ask them or go look it up Even if you have a decent idea where they live because you're not going to know the time disparity of every city out there.
The exponential problem has always been there. We keep finding tricks and optimizations in hardware and software to get by it but they're only occasional.
The pruned models keep getting better so now You're seeing them running on local hardware and cell phones and crap like that.
I don't think they're out of tricks yet, but God knows when we'll see the next advance. And I don't think there's anything that'll take this current path into AGI I think that's going to be something else.
I mean, I might catch something intended and openly malicious.
If it comes down to a buffer overflow somewhere or an exploitable race condition, I'm probably not going to see it anyway.
Missed opportunity
The gun should have been labeled !!
Even before the current fucked up state of affairs, lobbying was (and still is) a thing.
I used them for a couple of years. But I kept finding that when I went to re-sign up for new vendors they wouldn't support the cards for some reason. Has this gotten better?
I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn't like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I'd just have to deal.
At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.
I'm all about configurability but I'm also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.
PShaw, that's how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.
windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat
One doesn't need to panic buy items that they keep in stock at sufficient levels. :)

”Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a common eye condition among children. It is when the eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions (misaligned). One eye may look straight ahead while the other eye turns in, out, up, or down."
