Uh acktually I'm a Kali user

Well they wouldn't be middle fingers anymore but we understand the sentiment

I'm a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you're already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you're doing with the model because it isn't trust worthy.

If you're using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.

If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.

It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it's worthless if you can't verify the accuracy. And I'm worried people don't care about the accuracy.

Personally I'm a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of "god" and I think it applies more widely.

In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.

This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's made me believe in god as an idea.

There are plenty of studies on "manifesting" goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.

The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn't excuse a lot of their bullshit).

"Drive backwards on the track"

That's literally the first thing people do in racing videogames. That would have been SECONDS

Yes it was way better than watching him play Atari Joust for 30 minutes but still!

It needs way more gawdy neon color palettes.

I swear half these people with blogs pick the most aggressive bright pink and greens when building their websites from scratch for the first time and then just stick with it!

Not gonna convince me to play overwatch this way

But I am happy for them

The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.

It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.

Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it's generally easier with the right hardware.

I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I'm an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it's dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we're pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don't think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile "discussions" in that we just don't know how to do it.

What's been on your mind? If you don't wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

Couple things

1. Start applying for things you're not sure and you know you aren't qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don't actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you're able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you're a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.

2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.

I cast

《FAKE NEWS》

On your parents. They are now addicted to not just Gox but also Newsmax and OAN. You will win this battle gun mage, but I'll win the war come Thanksgiving!

The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.
