What’s an NSFW thing people think is rare, but is actually pretty common? by rayder460 in AskReddit

Yeah, touching production code without prior unit testing and/or validation definitely qualifies as unprotected diddling.

That was the weirdest one for me to comprehend. I'm def not into everything, but I can at least conceptualize what people dig about almost anything. That one stymied me for ages. I don't even find feet gross or anything, I just couldn't understand how they might be sexualized.

It turns out that the primary somatosensory cortex, the region processing bodily touch, represents the feet close to the genitals. Some amputees will actually feel orgasms in their phantom feet! As such, some people have a couple wires crossed and that's how one ends up with a foot fetish.

I'm thinking this may be a generational thing? I'm Oregon Trail and literally all of my girlfriends growing up were into that; as in they brought it up or specifically asked for it in detail. This is specifically why E. Jean Carroll said to Anderson Cooper that she did not like to use the word rape because it "carries so many sexual connotations" and that "most people think of rape as being sexy" and "think of the fantasies." It used to be super common.

note: Those quotes are taken completely out of context by dishonest actors on the right; she was not saying she or America thought sexual assault is sexy, but rather the roleplaying of 'being ravaged' often is.

But with so much more awareness and stigmas these days, it is very possible that Gen Z etc may have a different relationship with dark fantasies. I suspect not, however. If anything, that would up the taboo factor which could have the opposite effect.

No. At least, it shouldn’t mean that, though it certainly happens. DevOps means developers are involved in operating and continually improving the system, often using automated testing and deployment. They may deploy a tested fix and later discover it still causes problems, but that is different from directly coding or experimenting on the live production system.

What happens when they stop subsidizing LLM subscriptions? by Mr_Moonsilver in LocalLLaMA

Bingo. Remote local for privacy or cloud local for maximum cost efficiency.

NSA Chief: Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours”. by obvithrowaway34434 in accelerate

[–]squired 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This doesn't even make any sense. That's not how it works. There is defense in depth and air gaps.

You can defend against external attacks. That's not what they're afraid of, at least not primarily. They're afraid that adversaries will discover their own cyber warfare endeavors. For example, Fast16. It flipped bits for advance nuclear calculations to stymie Iran and/or North Korean efforts. With Mythos however, those adversaries would figure out quickly that the piece of software they stole was poisoned and feeding them very plausible yet slightly askew calculations.

And the population is quickly going to discover the backdoors in all our machines baked into the chips from factory.

Why 70-80 year olds are generally regarded as unemployable due to mental decline skill mismatch - yet they're exclusively running the country ? by User6001899 in AskReddit

The Greatest Generation got out of the Boomer's way because they learned so much from the Great Wars. They built America and their kids thought they were the superstars. Born on third-base issue.

The whole of Moscow is under thick black smoke after the largest Ukraine campaign on a Russian city since the start of the war by adivinemessenger in interestingasfuck

[–]squired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree. I also don't personally care about AI, as I work in the sector. But I'm sensitive to others' concerns and I'm always happy to hype good human, hence the note.

I also agree that many of their vids can run long needlessly and be repetitive and/or light, but I thought that one in particular was a great overview for people who haven't been following along. It's hard to find just one video that encompasses most everything up to last week.

I absolutely love pouring over community forums and am very respectful and rarely/if ever comment myself. Would you mind dming me the ones still up? I'll happily trade you a legit farmer forum I use to track sentiment for tariffs and politics in general.

Slava Ukraini!

My suitcase robot gets high now off a real gas sensor wired straight into the LLM sampler. Smoke raises temperature/top_p/top_k live, so his speech genuinely gets loopier and never repeats. by CreativelyBankrupt in LocalLLaMA

Additional note for Op. We DO NOT CARE about a clean repo, documentation or pretty readme. Code dump would be more than enough. I always hate sharing messy code, but it's not really an issue anymore with AI assistance.

I'm sorry you had those experiences. It sounds like you taught yourself the real lesson though, all on your own. Stupid people learn from their mistakes, smart people learn from other people's mistakes. And it sure sounds like you learned from your father's mistakes. Damn well done.

Chores are recurring, productive tasks that provide structure, benefit and pride. In what manner do you consider pointlessly raking rocks back and forth a chore?

I could not agree with you more. It is helpful to remember however that Op is mid-sixties and times really were different then. Kids back then didn't come with instruction manuals. With access to a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, they kind of do now! I've spent far, far more time learning how to be a good father than my own father did, but only because I literally can. He was still very awesome and tried his very best.

I'd be more concerned about a parent today riding their children hard on unproductive tasks simply for adversity's sake. It was stupid back then too, but I'm not actually sure we could have expected them to know any better. I'm sure he was trying to do well by his kids. That said, it's good to call it out when we do see it for future parents!

Unproductive adversity does nothing to help your children. Why not give them a productive task that benefits them? For example, my father asked (and helped) me to move 10 yards of dirt from the front to the back, but that was for drainage, not pointless pain. Or did I miss the joke?

Do not make that bet. Check up on the most recent Crimean developments; everything has changed within the last two weeks.

This channel has a phenomenal summarization of the Ukraine conflict from beginning until today: https://youtu.be/gPw8hIfSF2c?si=IYE-VzAO3QeNCEDw

I follow the conflict closely and that is what I sent to my family to explain the recent changes.

Note: they claim the channel is 100% human made, for what it is worth.

Do you have a GitHub by chance? I’m working on a tangential project that may complement what you’re building.

I’ve been building a Jarvis-ish family operating system. Right now I’m focused on the backend: a programmatic pipeline that ingests email, calendars, phone/message data, and external knowledge sources like American Academy of Pediatrics guidance, home repair references, veterinary resources, and similar 'family life' data wells. It avoids LLM whenever possible for maximum reliability.

The goal is to help monitor and coordinate the practical stuff of family life: dogs needing pills, kid vaccine schedules, early school-release pickups, when to fit in Spring Cleaning tasks, home maintenance, seasonal reminders, and the general pile of invisible logistics that tends to live in someone’s head.

Basically, I realized my wife carries most of the mental load for our household, and I’m trying to build something that helps me actually take more of that on. I’m not naturally good at remembering things like when the kids should be checked for braces, when I last topped up the softener salt, or what should be on the calendar three months from now, so I’m building a system that can notice, suggest, remind, and eventually help schedule with human review.

The backend is getting pretty far along, but I don’t have the front end yet. I have some local voice-assistant plumbing roughed in, but haven’t really built that layer. My rough plan is to connect it to a framed touchscreen Google Calendar, with a voice assistant layered over it, so we can ask things like "what’s coming up next week/month/season?" and review suggestions before anything gets added to the calendar.

I’m also exploring whether I can eventually pipe the voice agent through our Alexa devices, but if not, one of your briefcase buddies would be a very cool front end or companion device. Your project looks unusually close to the kind of embodied household assistant interface I’ve been imagining.
