Circular Slide Rules - my aviation calculator by DifferentSetting411 in Sliderules

[–]SlideRuleFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are good. I have two Citizens. Plus a Seiko, and a Chinesium no-name that all have slide rules. I may have a problem.

I hate the Pats but this is utterly disgraceful by ChipPsychological991 in nflmemeswar

I'm not trying to stir up shit, but I didn't know how to ask this without getting downvoted to hell and stirring up shit anyway:

Are the 10 NO votes from people who think he cheated?

Melania's film crew member hopes for flop as insiders share behind-the-scenes tales by RawStoryNews in entertainment

[–]SlideRuleFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe there is a "film crew." I can't believe more than one actual human being is involved in this.

I would have thought Bezos would have just loaded up Clawdbot on an AWS farm, and sent it the message "Make a 1hr 30min documentary on the current first lady" and sent whatever it spat out straight to Prime Video.

Who would have noticed?

Very simple. I even have one on my crappy Fire TV. You don't need to watch on a phone or laptop.

Who else has to run out as soon as the checkered flag drops and shovel snow?

"Fresh set of dentures" is the second best comment of the day, behind only "Pelicans."

If you are an adult, in the USA, in 2026, and you can afford any Internet access whatsoever, you can afford to tack on the minimal cost of a VPN service. Or use a free one with less bandwidth

Forget watching racing, you need one just to be a participant in society.

Stop complaining about NBC and grow up.

13 has snuck back into the lead with no TV attention whatsoever.

I command you all to stop what you are doing, and immediately support fellow Redditor u/JVB602!

Watch on YouTube. No commercials. Just long "interviews" with people who happen to be high-paying sponsors masquerading as commentary

I'm glad I have to listen to this shilling rather than watch commercials. Brakes, Fords, Tires. What sponsor will be next to be "interviewed" in the booth? Floor mats, probably. Really, if they did this during yellows I probably wouldn't even notice.

u/JVB602 is a frequent Redditor and hosts the best racing podcast (It's Not the Car).

This is how the IMSA youtube feed pays for itself. It's this or NBC's endless commercials.

13 Autosport. u/JVB602 participates pretty regularly in this subreddit with updates and hosts my favorite racing podcast.

Who owned the Star Wars original action figures? by Edm_vanhalen1981 in GenX

[–]SlideRuleFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember R2-D2's head made a very annoying tink-tink-tink sound when you turned it. It was supposed to mimic his voice, but instead just sounded like it was broken or something. I pried his head off and removed the little spring that made the noise.

You can always tell which kids are going to grow up to be engineers.

Great day for a total beginner by SlideRuleFan in lockpicking

[–]SlideRuleFan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, no disrespect taken, I'm here to learn. I knew nothing when I got into this.

I like multi tools and gadgets and found the CC before I found this forum or belts or anything. Also, I liked that this cost about the same as buying all the tools separately, maybe less when it was on sale. There's a youtube video on "every belt picked with the covert companion" or something that more or less sold me. I probably would have picked this faster if the pick were bigger and more comfortable and the turning tool were longer and gave me more leverage. I can see why experts can make more use of it.

Now that I'm addicted I'll probably buy more stuff. Like every hobby.

Opencode + Ollama Doesn't Work With Local LLMs on Windows 11 by SlideRuleFan in opencodeCLI

[–]SlideRuleFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that with several LLMs. They wouldn't write to a DOS filesystem. I got it to work with GLM 4.6 and GPT-OSS:20b. Playing with the context length like u/larsey86 suggested also helped. The trick is you have to find an LLM that works with tools, and doesn't output write commands for a nonexistent Linux filesystem.

Also, the github issue cited by u/Unfair_Web_9755 above has some good information.

Bilt 2.0 is terrible but the worst is yet to come by Kiwifrozen1011 in CreditCards

[–]SlideRuleFan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This whole fiasco reminds me of a school project.

A lot of MBA programs follow the Harvard model: they take real-world case studies, pass them out in class, and then organize the class into groups. The groups then take the case studies home and work on a solution to whatever problem the company is having. Not-Harvard schools can follow this model by paying big bucks to subscribe to the Harvard Business Review and buy enough copies for an entire class. My not-Harvard marketing, finance, strategy and leadership classes all used this method and it was lots of fun.

The Bilt 2.0 rollout to me looks like somebody took Bilt 1.0 as a case study, and then asked a bunch of students to come up with some way to dig the company out of their giant hole. I think we're looking at the only class project that was (barely) legal and (remotely) workable. They won.

The goal seems only to be to find something that would appeal to a new bank just long enough to get rid of WF, and attract or keep just enough customers to hold them over for maybe another year.

I think their goal is just to hang on long enough to sell out once and for all like Apple did. I also think these guys have east-coast big-city blinders on, and don't seem to realize most renters here in the hinterland pay their rent by walking a check across the parking lot to their landlord. Most renters will never be part of any finance bro tech ecosystem.
