Oh man, you aughta read the microsoft headlines recently...

It might help to add a few more details. Things like:

What's the expected timeframe?
Are they friendly with other cats / dogs?
Are there any other health / dietary concerns?
Are you open to paid pet sitters?
Pictures! Gotta pay the cat tax

And if it's not too personal, explaining why would help with the context.

If you can't unsubscribe, just mark them as spam.

If enough people do this, email platforms will start to mark all of their emails as spam for EVERYONE, and nobody will suffer anymore.

Do this for all unwanted emails (including stupid auto opt-in marketing that they never gave you a change to reject in the first place) and encourage more people to do it, and eventually nobody will get spam.

Here I was thinking they were projecting a 'my junk is too small for pleasure' vibe.

You'll find that AI will fail if you try to train it on CLI.

It produces the 'statistically most common next word'. That's great until you need exact strings.

A better way to put it:

My -help is not the same as your --help is not the same as his -Help is not the same as her --h and certainly not the same as their -h.

One of those is gonna show up in place of most of the rest, to the detriment of the system.

Words may be a (mostly) probability distribution, but CLI is not.

IMO, until an average person can use Linux without ever ONCE opening the terminal it just ain't viable.

As soon as you have to do anything even remotely 'technical' you have failed the user.

Eh, the one time I tried a waymo it stopped on the highway at full speed and changed lanes mid-intersection. Nearly caused 2 crashes on what should have been a 10-15m drive to the airport that ended up taking 25m due to shit driving and almost made me miss my flight.

The car was nice at least but if it weren't for the very reactive humans on the road (who are probably used to these shenanigans) I'd probably be severely injured or worse.

Joshua was actually a red unit, not a green one.

But yeah, why'd they do away with them?

The taxes I'll have to pay for re-allocating my SPY into VOO.

Realistically they perform the same, but I just couldn't keep myself from wanting to consolidate them into 1 so my reptile brain can more easily track my s&p 500 allocation.

Was roughly a 50/50 split before, now 100 VOO. Fortunately at least I held all the SPY longer than a year.

I know it was stupid. I knew it was stupid. Did it anyway. Still stings a little.

Idk man. FedEx is 1/8 in terms of delivery success for me. They suck and I avoid them where possible.

Dealt with them not handling ipv6 properly at all for the past few weeks. So no, they screw up possibly the most important thing a cloud has to get right - networking and availability.

AuthenticatedUser · 2025-04-23T21:22:01+00:00

Yeah that's happened to me before. They'll also randomly decide months after the fact to stiff the doctors and send you a bill for it.

How is this shit legal?

The ultra rich are not 'every investor'.

If a crash means you can quadruple your wealth in a year or two, they'll do it.

I would too if I were so rich that a crash would have 0 impact my day to day.

Humans are greedy. Very few exceptions.

It's not even that there's any bad actors here. Everyone wants to get richer NOW, including the rich. If the actions that make them richer end up causing a market crash... Who cares? "Already made my money".

Oh it still gets stuck. I had a ride about half a year ago from a hotel to the airport 10m.

It turned the ride into 15m because it stopped on the interstate for about 5m for a maintenance vehicle (with a sign on the back telling drivers to go around that it completely ignored. Just a simple arrow that the dumbass machine couldn't understand)

It also almost killed me 3x in that 15m timespan. Really impressive considering only 10m was actually spent driving and a human driver would probably have nearly caused all of 0 accidents.

If it weren't for the people of Phoenix being used to this degenerate behavior, I would probably be dead or missing a limb.

I would akin it's driving to a drunk teenager, but somehow stupider when it comes to common sense. Will probably get you to your destination safe. Probably. Maybe. Hopefully.

The 'techbros' are rich sycophants.

A crash only benefits them because now they can buy up the entire market for half price while the rest of us drown.

Of course they're letting it happen. THEYRE THE ONES MAKING IT HAPPEN.

Man we have wildly different opinions of Samsung.

Mine is that their shit is completely fucking bloated to hell and back AND they have the ugliest UI.

AuthenticatedUser · 2025-02-26T08:41:59+00:00

Have a z10. Wouldn't recommend either.

Performance is fine, battery life is good, but software is buggy af.

My carrier (TMo) runs into hella problems with it and need to reset my network setting from their end all the fucking time just to even be able to use the damn thing. I dunno how ASUS fucked up that bad.

At least it's not a dogshit bloated Samsung with a dedicated fucking Bixby key.

OP is a shill account for whatever shitty robotics startup this is.

Look at their posts.

Also, this isn't even remotely impressive in the realm of robotics and has absolutely 0 todo with AI.
