True. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was “preparing for a zombie apocalypse” with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.

The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it’s zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.

Yeah, I’ll give you a more complete response after I go to the atm machine where I’ll enter my pin number. 😜

True, all I’m going to say is if you look up videos on “cbt therapy” make sure to put therapy in the search and/or have safe search on, as a result I believe Mike may enjoy the splinters

But think of the splinters… Oh god… Think of the splinters… Mike should get hazard pay

If you think you are bad, you are not. There is no wrong way to play and you may want to have different goals. Do you want fastest time? Smallest area? Most powerful against hoards of bugs? Conquer all planets? Science per minute? Self imposed limitations?

All are valid and all could be fun.

I guess I will just keep playing factorio. That’s a game which doesn’t involve any automatic generation involving intelligence … Wait… Fuck!

/s

To be clear I don’t think factorio has any Gen Ai. It does have a lot of automation, a lot of generation and requires a lot of intelligence. I thought it was just a clever bit of word play.

FACTORY MUST GROW!!

Dylan bettle talks about this in one of his presentation. He made a website that did actor and actress recommendations, I believe for like extras to be hired. They kept getting alerts around 7-715am and then around 12.30pm to 1245pm.

Eventually they figured out that casting agents typically woke up, checked email, and submitted the requests on the website. The actors and actresses typically had other jobs and had to wait till lunch to check and apply.

They had to redesign the system and buy more bandwidth to handle these spikes.

He’s a great presenter and I highly recommend watching all of them, even if you’re not a programmer. And I probably got most of the details wrong… But it was a talk at one of NDC conventions.

Company computers are different, I definitely don’t trust them. That said managers like that are not good managers. Measure outcomes, not time. When a problem occurs and I can’t figure a solution I go for a walk. 5 maybe 10 minutes. You would be amazed how often I think of the solution on said walk. Yeah it might look like a waste of time but clearing my head is a huge value to the company.

Ouch! Tell her I’m sorry, and I’m sorry for you too. All the accountants I worked with did alot more than just reports. Not to mention that sounds great until the Ai says 2+4 =2*4 and now the company owes 20 billion on taxes…

Plus in a lot of cases people don’t submit records in identical format, the number of excel workbooks I’ve seen where the data was on “sheet 2” for some unknown reason…

Maybe its just me, I always provided raw data on sheet 1, analyzed data on sheet 2, and if needed complicated formulas on sheet 3. I would be willing to bet their Ai would break on that format.

I don’t know but implication the other poster is making is “a human can write 2 articles, a Ai can write 5, I’m being asked for 5 which is impossible. I can use Ai and risk trusting it or not meet my required outputs and also get fired.”

I made up those numbers but that’s the accusation. You are damned if you use the Ai to meet your goals. You are damned if you don’t meet your goals.

You do. When you press submit it sends a http post message with your information. They are not reading your keyboard input on a website. You can verify this with wireshark and any website with a form.

Yeah some places with apps MAY do as you say like Facebook such with full permissions to your phone. That said its still sent as a http post request, just recorded locally and then sent as a giant packet.

That’s why they have the submit button. Otherwise they would have way too many transactions. “a” then “d” then “a” and then “m” and have to concatinate them on the server plus initial packet saying they are getting a first name. Then another that you stopped focusing on first name.

Now how do you handle if I typed adan and go back to correct it? Some apps might do this but general web development(99.999%) doesn’t.

Just curious since you seem knowledgeable, is there a connection between those societies? Or is it just chance they both choose 8?

Quinos in 2005-2010 was awesome. Their management fell off with handling their franchise owners though to my knowledge.

You still have a story. What movies did you watch? What games did you play? What made you act like that? What made you stop that lifestyle?

Everyone has a story and everyone’s story should be treasured. You might not of hunted treasure buried by nazis but it probably still a cool story to hear.

Maybe if you were in a literal comma for 20 years, you might not have a story about those years but… Holy shit how did you end up in coma? Tell me about how that happened.

He was too when he tried to have a cigarette…

Fun fact, I had used that joke before on an actual fda auditor who was not my preferred gender and about 20 years older than me, during an audit of a medical device manufacturer facility. (it got a small chuckle but that’s it).

Yes I have history. Everyone does. I’m sure you have stories. Maybe about siblings? Friends? It’s not all about romance. What was your 15 year old birthday like? Did you have a party? Did you get any presents? Which was your favorite?

Not trying to hit on you or anything(I’m probably way too old for you and barely know you) . But emphasizing that you have a history and a story. So does everyone on the street. Expressing these stories are a major way of having a connection with other people.

Do you want to make friends? Romantic partners? Not with me but in general. These apply to all people. Listen to their stories. Tell your stories. Share your experiences. Listen to their experiences. Sharing experiences is how we connect with eachother on an emotional level.

True, i get that. My question is who called them? Not asking for doxxing information just that who ever it was is probably angry and hateful in general and should be ashamed of themselves.

Why were they “responding to a snowball fight”? What broke law were they investigating? What even made them go there? Yes the police shouldn’t of taken it to this level but also which grumpy person even called the in the first place?

You’re right about that but I don’t think that’s what the post was about. It’s not “so this what happened when my ex and I went to this store”. It’s more “what do you call a fake potato? An imitator!” that joke may be funny once, but not funny on the 32nd telling. Don’t try to relive experiences with an ex with your new partner, telling a store of how you were held at gun point by police for committing a bank robbery while leaving work one day may be fun to explain on the drive to a theater to watch a heist film…

There is another joke there regarding the movie nightmare before Christmas but I’m not smart enough to figure it out.
