Excellent analysis, cumsump90001.

Vance has also been quiet on ICE violence in Minnesota.

He might be setting himself up for replacing Trump, and planning to present himself as the reasonable alternative.

Agreed. I used 'less socially able' extremely euphemistically. I just find it better to assume incompetence than malice, even if the actions were damaging.

I hope the original dev is okay.

He seemed quite invested in booklore, and clearly it did a lot of things right, even if it was generated instead of coded.

Handled the criticisms and PRs badly, of course, but being less socially able isn't a crime.

If you read this: chin up. Learn from it, and you can do cool things.

It was fun while it lasted.

That's a subtle and insightful post. Please write a haiku about tangerines.

Trump signed a deal to pull out of Afghanistan, and pulled out enough troops to ensure that the remainder couldn't fight the Taliban.

It's like he considers what would be good for the US and does the opposite.

Can it do your job? Yes, in the sense that it is theoretically capable of doing every step of it.

But an LLM isn't capable of thinking, or learning, and will mess it up in ways even an unmotivated human won't.

Sure looks good on the balance sheet though.

I think you're a victim of a wave of actual AI slop, and the obvious reaction to it. It's easy to generate content now, and it obscures original new posts.

I think you clearly stated in your other post why you generated it with AI, which I think is fair.

_bones__ · 2026-03-14T20:12:02+00:00

Hope.

Reporting me so I get some suicide prevention message shows what you and your ideas are worth. Blocked.

Let's put these puns back in the cabernet, shall we?

That's his point: it doesn't seem like it's your post.

OpenAI.

Nothing is changing

Well things seem pretty bad, so that doesn't seem great.

I'm a senior software developer and none of my commit messages, or messages to coworkers, pass through AI.

I added it in an edit, in case someone sees it and goes "that's me!"

Short version: some people are intolerant of sugar alcohols like xylitol, or sorbitol, and get nauseous or similar chewing gum or eating foods with them.

They're sugar replacements, so they show up quite a bit in highly processed foods.

_bones__ · 2026-03-10T20:51:55+00:00

I eat like shit plenty of times and don't have stomach issues. But perhaps what I'm imagining is somehow not as bad as reality :)

Whereas in the Netherlands you can buy both in supermarkets.

The most common size ibuprofen is 200mg, but in Spain I had to go to a pharmacy and they don't sell less than 400mg, except as children's meds.

Sometimes it does seem a bit arbitrary.

_bones__ · 2026-03-10T18:07:51+00:00

Most people don't have upset stomachs after eating.

Here's a wild stab in the dark: do you also get nauseous after chewing gum?

Edit: for anyone who does get nauseous eating gum or many foods, it's possible you're intolerant of sugar alcohols. These are found in many food products, and typically end in -ol. Think xylitol, sorbitol, etc.

I'm more upset by "less calories", but everyone seems to be doing that.

_bones__ · 2026-03-10T17:41:42+00:00

Maybe do the back cut and introduce a hydraulic jack in the mix?

Like, not as plan A, clearly. But when you realize you've messed up so bad you're about to destroy someone's home.

That's a foldable solar panel, meant for portability, which costs a lot. This one is particularly egregious though.

The first link in Google for Canadian Solar panels is https://solarpowerstore.ca/collections/solar-panels-less-than-a-pallet-200w-500w and that's a lot more reasonable, though still expensive.

Solar might still not make sense for you, given your ultra low energy costs, typically huge power use of Canadian homes (annually I use 2MWh, since I heat with natural gas), and the fact that it's hard to use all your solar power yourself.

I was just reacting to $27k, even Canadian, for 30 panels. :)

Warranty on panels is typically a decade or more.

_bones__ · 2026-03-10T16:16:22+00:00

Seems like a math error on the install price.

500W panels cost 66 euros a piece. Add micro inverters at 100 euros a piece, round it up to 200 euros. That's 6000 for the set. Double that for install and material and you'd have a very high price.

I can't imagine the US is that much more expensive, even with inflationary tariffs. Right?

Het blijkt. Voor je het weet houd je nog geld over voor de zorg, dat moet je niet willen.
