I've been trying to talk my fiance into moving because I found out that one of the guys my high school sweetheart ex cheated on me with frequents my favorite coffee shop.

I'm considering a coastal swap.

Life hack: Move to the other side of the state.

I always tell the interviewer what they want to hear. Its very obviously a game of correct answers.

I lie on my resume too, but not in ways I can't back up.

For instance, I imply I have a degree because I did go to college for 4 consecutive years for a multitude of degrees. So I have different resumes with different majors depending on what job I'm applying to. I mostly use my CS/Engineering degree now-a-days. I'm able to talk the talk enough that they've never checked or asked for a transcript.

But it sounds more like your job wanted to, on paper, be compliant with workers rights stuff

"We offer a break at X and Y hours."

But had a cultural expectation to not follow it. Which is dumb and they can, in my humble opinion, get fucked. Nursing has a massive burnout rate and shit like that is why.

I think you should recognize you dodged a bullet more than you should think about "lying" in an interview.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I've been reading "Atlas of AI" by Kate Crawford and you're right. So much of the data that they're trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it's probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn't a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it's worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.

Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem "cowards" in society.

Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.

I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don't let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.

Nice! Maybe I can get that AI server working then.

An AI project that's ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain't so!

I already get 8-10 hours of active use out of my T14. Who wants to do more stuff for longer without a dedicated space for it?

I get sick of coffee shop stuff after like 3 hours.

That's so much of IT. They're paying for me to get a degree but I already have the job. So it's obvious it's just a status symbol.

I wouldn't hate that. I've been meaning to try some AI extension to add to my VSCodium install to talk to my self hosted AI instance.

It would be fun to compare it to a de-microsoted extension

Were they not supposed to be funny normally?

Are we not all on the brink?
