I think the thing that would keep me sane is that I’m fascinated in trying to figure out how a single AI-generated paragraph can be accurately detected.

But yeah, the common permutation of multiple pargraphs, the first starting with reaffirm/validate/reiterate is downright obnoxious.

‘I’m sorry to hear you’re having such difficulties with editing ChatGPT-generated content. It can be challenging and even frustrating at times, but with’ lol

If I ever picked up a side hustle, it’d be basic editing. ChatGPT has displaced the ghost writer but it can’t polish its own turd.

I’d def swap out for a trainer tire if only for the noise, if you have knobbie tires it’s gonna be obnoxious. I can’t tell you how much faster tires will wear but knobs tend to get chewed up.

That and fans, I used to have 4-5 fans all hooked up to the same power strip, flip that thing on and BAM. Good airflow makes it go from grueling and miserable to tolerable. Putting down 200W in a 70 degree room without the 18mph breeze you normally generate, you feel it.

Also, sweat, you’ll get that all over your bars and steerer and it can even drip on outers and wind up inside the frame. It quickly becomes highly-refined weapons-grade salt that has left many a mechanic throwing their hands up in defeat. Toss a garbage bag over the bars and then a towel to keep things from getting all corroded.

If you’re on an upper floor it also helps to go buy some cheapo foam kitchen mats from Home Depot or whatever and put your bike on that so it’s not making a bunch of clunking sounds. Just a bit of padding, doesn’t have to be fancy.

I’d basically have all that set up, bunch of fans, sweat proof the bike, table next to me with more water bottles than I thought I’d need

“Right in the heart of it is an itty bitty windmill and that just don’t sit right with me” - That one cousin at Thanksgiving

Fun hammer fact: it’s called dead blow not because it’s supremely powerful or anything, but because the head is usually full of loose material like BBs, and it causes the hammer to not bounce back as much, kinda like throwing a hackey sack at the floor

Now I’m thinking of a hammer tier list. Milled face framing hammer is clearly S-tier because you get to leave your mark

Also:

Endless redirects that attempt to keep you on the site when you want to nope right out and click the back button

They probably wish they could pin it on an entity and recover losses through subrogation rather than just taking the hit. By ‘taking the hit’ I mean all us taking the hit, but they’d probably like being able to shake money out of judgments and raise our rates at the same time

Same can be said for the normally implemented popcorn button. May as well spend 9 cents on a shitty electret mic and 6 cents on a marginally larger IC

I always thought it was weird that they don’t just stuff a cheapo little microphone in against an interior panel and write a couple lines of code, when it detects 3 really loud sounds within 1 second disable the timer, and when it detects a sound after a 2 second gap, turn off if no new sound detected within 2 seconds

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

I can’t wait to hear random republicans going on 3 minute tangeants whenever someone asks the burning question: ‘is 3 greater than 2?’

Flip the binoculars around and look again

True, but it’s not a competition. When big tech tightens their belts NVDA starves to death

Edit: guess I forgot to point out the hyperbole. Nvidia obviously won’t literally die

It’ll implode but there are much larger elephants in the room - geopolitical dumbassery and the suddenly transient nature of the CHIPS Act are two biggies.

Third, high flying growth, blue sky darlings, they’re flaky. In a downturn growth is worth 0 fucking dollars, throw that shit in a dumpster and rotate into staples. People can push off a phone upgrade or new TV and cut down on subscriptions, but they’ll always need Pampers.

The thing propping up AI and semis is an arms race between those high flying tech companies, so this whole thing is even more prone to imploding than tech itself, since a ton of revenue comes from tech. Sensitive sector supported by an already sensitive sector. House of cards with NVDA sitting right at the tippy top. Apple, Facebook, those kinds of companies, when they start trimming back it’s over.

But, it’s one of those things that is anyone’s guess. When you think it’s not even possible for everything to still have steam one of the big guys like TSMC posts some really delightful earnings and it gets another second wind, for the 29th time.

Definitely a house of cards tho, and suddenly a lot more precarious because suddenly nobody knows how policy will affect the industry or the market as a whole

They say shipping is the bellwhether of the economy and there’s a lot of truth to that. I think semis are now the bellwhether of growth. Sit back and watch the change in the wind

I think a lot of perceived malice is secondary to his selfishness and utter disregard for anyone or anything outside his extremely small inner circle (and even then, he has no qualms shoving them out).

He’s the kind of guy that would forge his own grandma’s checks to have money for the casino. Not that his intent to hurt his grandma, how she feels is a thought that doesn’t enter his head. He just needs money and there’s money and that’s the extent of his capacity to empathize. If he gets caught he’ll lie or rationalize. He’s not the bad guy for doing it, they’re the bad people who caught him and made such a big deal out of it.

Basic sociopath. He did so many unquestionably immoral and illegal things but didn’t even think to keep his fingerprints off of everything. He doesn’t even think about how others would perceive him and thus doesn’t even make a half-assed attempt to cover his tracks.

Not to say he’s not intentionally malicious, but usually that’s aimed at victims after they speak out, because in his mind, they’re the bad guys. He can’t comprehend how others think, or even that people could think or behave differently than him, so he just assumes a whole lot of other people do the same exact stuff and feels like he’s being singled out. There’s a module in his brain that never got wired

I think we might actually need to implement some sort of grading system for his infractions lest we get desensitized to the steady stream

Edit: I suddenly realize I’m not ready for even hearing “testing legal precedent” for the next 4 years let alone all the other shit going on

National Guard gonna be wishing they enlisted active duty right about now

It’s always: the reason you can’t afford shit is because the people being exploited harder than you will now be exploited a little less.

It’s never: the reason you can’t afford shit is because the people exploiting you are exploiting the everliving fuck out of you.

That’s a different thing entirely. On topic:

Any constitutional oath is a directive that can be superceded by no man. If someone attempts to amend the constitution without ratification, we’re bound by oath to not acknowledge such a change. If we’re given orders that violate the consitution, we’re bound by oath to not acknowledge those orders.

Ideally, nobody who made an oath to uphold the constitution will fuck with a ballot. They won’t sieze land, they won’t use force on or unlawfully detain civilians, none of that, and if push comes to shove that is a hill people will ideally fight and die on. Trump can’t make us do a god damned thing if it means turning our back on the constitution. The buck stops there.

You can soapbox about how we need reform, but that’s a different topic entirely

so long as we are willing to defend it

You are correct in that the Constitution alone can’t stand the test of time. In fact, I implied such.
