I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That's all I need.

Tylenol and Autism joke

Took me a second

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like "I'm pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?" Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

"Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?"

And it said

"You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him."

Which you obviously can't do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn't failing often enough.

I would never glaze that hack! His ideas were far too disjointed and useless.

Now of you check my self hosted blog I go into much better more specific detail on why technology is bad!

Gotta protect those Video Game movie deals.

Don't wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

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

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!

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.

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.
