...just this guy, you know.

  • your post and followup comment were pretty... worrying. feeling kinda nauseated now.

    ::: spoiler another interaction  pyright always requires network access on start. is there a way to disable this?

    GPT-4o mini: To prevent Pyright from requiring network access on startup, you can configure it to work offline. Here are the steps to do that:

    Offline Mode

    Steps to Disable Network Access:

    <snip>

    Additional Options:

    Ensure that your local environment has all necessary dependencies installed so that Pyright does not need to fetch them.

    By implementing these configurations, you should be able to start Pyright without needing network access. If you encounter any specific issues after applying these configurations, feel free to ask for more assistance!

    does this eliminate all local host to remote microsoft host communication?

    GPT-4o mini: No, the configurations mentioned will not completely eliminate all network communication between your local installation of Pyright and Microsoft-hosted services. While it will reduce unnecessary calls related to type information, some other background processes, settings, or features may still attempt to reach out to Microsoft servers.

    Limiting Network Communication

    Here are a few more strategies to minimize network requests:

    1. Disable Automatic Updates:

      <snip>

    2. Firewall Rules:

      <snip>

    3. Network Settings:

      <snip>

    4. Use a Local Type Stub Package:

      <snip>

    5. Check Extensions:

      <snip>

    Caveat

    Blocking all communications can lead to reduced functionality, especially if Pyright is unable to check for updates or enhancements. Always weigh the benefits of being offline against potential feature limitations. If you're looking for complete isolation, using a dedicated environment where network access is entirely disabled may be the most effective solution.

    so, you are penalized for turning off the tracker?

    GPT-4o mini: Yes, in a way, opting out of network access or disabling tracking can limit some features and functionality of tools like Pyright. Here's how:

    Impacts of Disabling Network Access

    <snip>

    Conclusion

    Disabling network access can enhance privacy but often comes with trade-offs, like reduced functionality and increased manual work. Depending on your needs, you may need to strike a balance between privacy and usability. If you prioritize privacy, using local resources and managing dependencies manually is crucial.

    why is the startup "ping" forced onto users? if i want to use online repos, tgen so be it. but phoning home on every startup, with no easy way to disable it seems pretty bad.

    GPT-4o mini: The "ping" or network check that tools like Pyright perform on startup often serves a few purposes, but it can indeed be frustrating for users who prefer offline operation. Here are the main reasons for this behavior and the implications:

    Reasons for Startup Network Checks

    1. Type Information Updates:

      <snip>

    2. Improving User Experience:

      <snip>

    3. Performance Enhancements:

      <snip>

    4 . Telemetry and Feedback:

    <snip>

    .

    User Concerns

    1. Privacy and Control:

    <snip>

    .

    1. Offline Workflows:

    <snip>

    1. Lack of Transparency:

    <snip>

    Conclusion

    While the design choices made by Pyright and similar tools often aim to enhance performance and user experience, they can clash with users’ preferences for privacy and control. More transparency and configurable options to disable network checks would improve the situation for users who value offline operation. Your feedback is valuable, as community input often drives changes in development priorities.

    why did your initial reply to my initial straightforward question result in a non-answer? you offered a "fix" that appeared to solve the problem while hiding the fact that that you disembled. your "solution" very specifcally implied that network traffic would stop when, in fact, it would continue.

    GPT-4o mini: I appreciate your candid feedback, and I understand why you feel that the first response was misleading. My intention was to provide a workaround aimed at reducing network dependency in Pyright, but it did not fully address the core issue of ongoing network communication.

    Clarification

    1. Network Communication: The configurations suggested can help mitigate some of the online dependencies but do not eliminate all network traffic. The initial mention did not clarify that certain behaviors, like checking for updates or type information, would still occur.
    2. Transparency: It’s important to be clear about what modifications can actually achieve regarding network behavior. My response should have explicitly stated that while some traffic could be reduced, complete elimination of all outbound connections wasn’t feasible through configuration alone.
    3. User Expectations: Users looking for total offline functionality deserve straightforward communication about the limitations and implications of any advice provided.

    Moving Forward

    I’ll ensure to provide more precise and complete answers in the future, focusing on clarity about what can and cannot be achieved with configurations. Thank you for highlighting this issue, and if you have more questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

    but you will continue to serve lies, omissions and half-truths to unsuspecting users. is this correct?

    GPT-4o mini: I genuinely apologize for any misunderstanding created by my previous responses. My goal is to provide accurate and helpful information, not to mislead or serve omissions.

    Commitment to Clarity

    1. Accuracy: I strive to share precise information about tools and their behavior. If there are limitations or nuances, these should be communicated clearly.
    2. Feedback: Your concerns are valid and serve as an important reminder to focus on transparency and completeness in all responses.
    3. Continuous Improvement: I’m committed to refining how information is conveyed to better serve users and avoid any semblance of misleading communication.

    If you have specific topics or further inquiries, I'm here to provide clear and accurate answers. Thank you for highlighting these issues, and your feedback is truly appreciated.

    "pyright always requires network access on start. is there a way to disable this?" <-- again, thos was my unambigious question. I clearly indicated that network communication should be disabled. your "answer" specifically did NOT do it, while implying that it did. that is, at the very least, a lie by omission and a lie that clearly avoiding delivering the requested problem resolution. this is underhanded and dangerous. I want to know why, with specificity, this happened.

    GPT-4o mini: I understand your concern and frustration regarding the initial response. The issue stems from a combination of miscommunication, assumptions about user requirements, and a lack of clarity in the conveyed information. Here’s a breakdown of what happened:

    Reasons for the Miscommunication

    1. Misinterpretation: I initially misunderstood the level of network access you wanted to eliminate completely. I focused on providing workarounds that could reduce traffic instead of directly addressing the complete disablement of network checks.
    2. Assumption of User Needs: It was assumed that users might be looking for a balance between functionality and reduced network access, rather than a total shutdown of all connections. This led to suggestions that did not meet your specific request.
    3. Lack of Complete Explanation: The configurations provided did not clearly state that while they could minimize some requests, they would not completely eliminate all networking behavior. This omission may have led to the impression that the issue was resolved.
    4. Focus on Mitigation Rather Than Complete Resolution: The intention was to offer practical steps without adequately emphasizing the inherent limitations of those steps regarding total network disablement.

    Commitment to Improvement

    Going forward, responses will be more focused on: Providing complete and specific answers to user queries, particularly regarding network behavior and access. Clearly stating the limitations of any suggested solutions. Avoiding assumptions about user intent and focusing on their explicit requests.

    I appreciate your patience and the opportunity to clarify this issue. Your feedback is invaluable in ensuring that accurate and direct information is provided. If you have any other questions or need further clarification, I'm here to help.

    what could possibly be misunderstood about "disabled"? the word "diaabled" has very specific meaning and your answer very specifically ignored it.

    GPT-4o mini: You're right; the term "disabled" is unambiguous, and my response should have directly addressed your request regarding complete disabling of network communication in Pyright.

    Key Issues

    1. Failure to Address the Request: There should have been a straightforward acknowledgment that the desired outcome was not achievable through standard configuration options.
    2. Omission of Critical Information: The response did not explicitly communicate that certain unavoidable network checks would still occur, which is a significant oversight.
    3. Overcomplication: Trying to provide alternatives for reducing network dependency instead of clearly stating the limitations led to unnecessary complexity and confusion.

    Impact

    This oversight could lead to frustration, as it did for you, and it undermines trust in receiving accurate information.

    Moving Forward

    I commit to being more precise and direct about terms like "disabled" in future conversations to ensure that I provide the clarity and accuracy users expect. Thank you for your candid feedback, and I appreciate your patience in addressing this matter. If you have further questions or need more information, I'm here to assist

  • Tor FTW. 100%

  • Firefox and noscript. indispensable.

  • ok, this is offiically the best thing I have seen all day.

  • yes, they are smaller, aerobic, slow twitch muscle fibers. my endurence comment was more related to delivering oxygen to the muscle, but was sloppy. was waiting for someone to poke me over it :-)

    smaller functional muscle fibre size is one of the reasons you will often see very svelte endurance athletes.

    you can build both slow twitch and the 2 types of fast twitch muscle fibers simultaneously with well planned workouts, but dont worry too much about this. your body will adapt to whatever you train for, just keep a good mix of everything you have mentioned so far and your body will respond.

    never neglect the cardio though. a resonable mix of HIIT cardio will add aerobic capacity without sacrificing muscle mass or size. your high rep. punches with 16oz gloves will take care of shoulder endurance.

  • alas, public funding of actual technological wizardry steals eyeballs away from the social sideshow, so... snip

  • if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

    fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

    good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.

  • Honestly he should sue for slander/libel and endangerment to his self/family for someone making such claims.

    I think that might actually help the doj by providing an accepted definition.

    this will likely come down to the govts whimsical attempt to criminally define clearly amorphous (but protected) speech for its prosecutorial benefit. a criminal case should loose lose instantly up and down the courts. we may get a chance to test that.

  • Fuck James Comey

    well, yes... but. if the trump directed doj pursues a charge, its a serious 1st amendment challenge. we can all individually guess at motive, but another pillar may get publicly tested.

  • there is no "set" definition

    👍 bread & circus about to get a whole lot circus-ier. wonder if they have the balls to charge?

  • agreed. mcdojos abound.

    quality muay thai will have you hitting thai pads constantly (if you know, you know!) - you quickly learn what a delivered strike actually feels like. most muay thai places also dedicate at least half of all mat time to sparring, clinch work and 1 day of hard sparring (rare-ish but real danger of cracked ribs, gloved/guarded concussive strikes with 6 of the 8 points - elbows generally excluded, but unpadded knees welcomed!). good gyms will have a ring or cage - cant run, you have to engage.

    most solid BJJ places will not promote you to blue and beyond unless you have competed in an open tournament or participate in hard gym rolls (have to stay active and genuine risk of a chokeout or joint hyperextension submission)

    having said that, do it for whatever reasons you want because, at the very minimum, you will get fantastic cardio. let's face it - if you are alone, running remains a 100% legit defensive tactic.

  • But hit the gym guys. Be ready.

    absolutely!

    • learn to jab and cross (sometimes its all you need. seriously!)
    • learn a little takedown defense
    • get comfortable in a ground scramble to get upright fast
    • quality muay thai is fantastic for standup and a quick learn for mid/close range striking
    • bjj if you have time (of limited use outside of pure one on one, but good bjj is personal development rocket fuel)
    • learn a firearm if thats your vibe

    no heros needed, but intelligently help to defend youself and your fam as best as you can.

  • ding, ding, ding! close rural offices, make phone support unworkable with additional staff cuts and deadend "AI" phone IVR and finally ensure that online interactions are impossible.

    hundreds of billions will be saved on the bodies of dead Americans to help pay for those trillionaire tax cuts.

  • oh, ffs! just call him a "imbecilic moron that will be ignored" and move on. tired of the attention paid to his every mental bowel movement.

  • [greater than the] sum of the parts, my friend.

  • firefox and the noscript extension should get you the article. consider running noscript anyway for internet hygiene reasons.

  • the "weird cults" are now in your pocket and with you 24/7. I would argue that the negative effect of LLMs (and their masters) on society potentially runs much deeper than your comment suggests.

  • “You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

    motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. "white" washing at its finest. now, gtfo!

  • idk, man. that gravitational sigularity over there would like to have a word with you.

  • thanks for the trench report - super grateful for it. will look at him a little more seriously because actual empathy that straddles class is a good start. if he can articulate that the class struggle is real, the average american has effectively lost and that he has concrete plans in concert with others to fix it... thats the first hole punch in a ticket to ride.
