My first sound file was a supercut of Keiko O’Brien giving birth on Star Trek: The Next Generation, edited to make it sound like an orgasm 😆

Come on, this is silly. You can disagree with it politically but technically it would work fine. I already have a digital ID issued by the government for doing online tax returns. Validating a social media account against that ID would be no more difficult than letting people sign in with Google or whatever. There will always technically be a way to get around it but 99% of people won’t bother.

Yeah this is why I disagree with the generation boundaries. I’m technically a millennial but I already owned my first home before the global financial crisis in 2008.

And god knows why they insist on doing Black Friday sales in Europe, where we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so stores are selling Christmas stuff all through November and there’s nothing special about that Friday.

And yet still every year you will make, functionally, less money than the last. You will get poorer and poorer and it took you longer to get settled than the generation before you.

No I won’t? I get raises above inflation, and I was married with a mortgage in my mid 20s.

If you are uncertain about something, never make up possible solutions, instead state and admit that you do not know the thing.

Does this work? Given that the LLM doesn’t actually know anything or have feelings of uncertainty, surely it just adds a chance that it will say “I don’t know” purely at random, without making it any more likely that the answers it does give are correct.

I’m not going to use digital currency or a digital ID so that I’m protected from myself.

I am so fucking tired of entering a password, then a code I got by by text, so I can set up an authentication app and register my physical auth key. Why can’t I just use a different strong password for each service, same as I have for the last 30 years without getting hacked.

You should be allowed to opt out of this bullshit if your password entropy is high enough.

Is this assuming all tourism to the UK would instantly stop if they became a republic or what

My bike was stolen, and I live in a small enough town that the cops actually did go through the footage to find the thief.

He called back 15 minutes later for more details and mentioned he was 15 minutes into the footage.

Really the lesson is, don’t run a business that 100% depends on another company.
