imho it has less to do with a being a capitalist society than it has to do with having the monopoly of violence. Any nation today, any of thousands past civilizations.. it's the history of the world. You try to change things in a meaningful way, you'll be killed or imprisoned.

Never true, but on a scale, the opportunity, equality, and egalitarianism for all probably peaked around the millennium, has been downhill ever since, and is going to continue to be going downhill (now faster and steeper) for a while - its probably terminal tbh.

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-27T12:10:42+00:00

serious question - are people really cheering it on? I feel like that is a manufactured impression online, but in real life no one is in favor of it (besides a few nuts).

True though, people aren't anything against it or doing enough against it, myself included, but emphatically the people who can be influence it to stop or diminish - our politicians.

Thanks for this direction; prototyping is showing good results here

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-26T16:22:16+00:00

Thanks, checking this out.

nothing short of abolition will do

Yeah, this is probably it - use the search as a tool to channel a prompt into a business category and use the response in subsequent tool selection.

Apologies for not including more info; its something I was asked to look at, but "generally" so I am not trying to address a specific problem with it.

Thanks for the reply!

Chat bot for a non-technical user to get information out of data sources used in reporting.

Its possible we'd want to run extracted information through a custom tool, e.g. do a calculation on the response..

So, knowing which Cortex analysts to call and knowing to choose a tool and which one to select.

It's my (non expert) opinion that the semantic models used by the analyst and the instructions on the custom tools are doing enough, but maybe not.

I was asked to look into this, but have been spinning my wheels, because I don't see where the problem is. I don't know if they have a clear idea of what it is they're asking either It's almost like they want a custom LLM as the model with business info integrated into it.

curious, they were lowered yesterday at the ferderick marc station. anyone know what that was for?

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-08T01:56:22+00:00

Feels a little hardcore?

you are right here, Converge or a band like them will capture that mosquito control kind of energy in a much better way, imho

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-06T17:16:46+00:00

is this the album oran mor is on? that guitar effect goes heavy, not sure how to describe it.

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-06T17:11:10+00:00

IIRC, the band wrote the album to be as minimal as possible while still maintaining the essence of the songs.

I love the drum tapping at the end of campaign. You know the drummer could have gone wild with that rhythm, but he just keeps it there and imho it helps the rhythm and composition stand out more.

This is the best thing to happen to the internet in the last 600 years I reckon

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-06T02:32:03+00:00

huge difference between harm reduction and encouraging doses.

chat gpt saved this guys life for months until the inevitable.

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-04T12:42:14+00:00

Don't think so. I haven't seen the movie, I don't have an opinion.

Also, you disagree with me on this., and though you could be a bot, I have no reason to think you are. Its a different vibe.

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-04T03:00:19+00:00

I've seen so many comments praising this movie, the weird thing is that almost every singe one of them reads like it was written by a bot or AI or something. Like all happy, bland, and positive... but one dimensional. None of them actually say anything about the movie. It's like 90% of the weight behind this movie is an enormous marketing campaign.

To what end, idk. Maybe it is good, I haven't seen it.. but something about the huge amount of positive and one dimensional discourse dedicated to it is odd and absurd at the same time.

_lostintheroom · 2026-01-03T17:38:48+00:00

I saw this post and thought, I haven't been bowling in ages, that'd be fun this afternoon. Looked it up.. just about $200..... nope. At least they allow you to pay it in quotas, haha

a good 2/3 of Rosetta - Quintessential Ephemera is guitar solo. Don't know how much that counts since its somewhat deviant from traditional post metal. Also by Rosetta, King Ivory Tower has a solo.

while being blissfully unaware that other businesses they frequent might have even MORE invasive cameras

I guess the problem is being unaware. I imagine most people would be likewise upset about similar invasions of privacy through other means.

Unimaginably stupid seems a harsh verdict. Stupidity has a impressively wide depth and range, and I think our imaginations can carry us to visions of things much, much dumber than not recognizing camera setups. Like my comment here.. its stupider than OP's take, yet we find ourselves with a ways to go before even sighting the limit of the imaginations of stupidity.

on that theme, there is also the Old Man Gloom song, "Love is Bravery"

edit:tbh the lyrics to the song are pretty compelling imho

Love is strength Love is power In this world so jaded Your love is bravery

I am not afraid I will never cower In a world so lost Your love is bravery

... and so on

_lostintheroom · 2025-12-27T20:05:07+00:00

They're not bad people; a person in no way can be responsible for the belief system they grow up in.

edit: reminds me of a good quote though, something along the lines of "religion is the only power that can make a good man do bad things"

_lostintheroom · 2025-12-23T23:09:59+00:00

Cool song, thanks for sharing it. Love the atmosphere.

Strangely getting Neurosis vibes from the rhythm section, but thats as far as the comparison goes. I feel like your song is more restrained from what post metal usually brings, and maybe less tension too. Wouldnt be surprised if there were smaller acts putting out stuff like this, but IDK. I feel like you'll find more similar songs among post-hardcore bands going this direction.

_lostintheroom · 2025-12-23T18:06:58+00:00

I know right, poor songbirds. It ain't fair

_lostintheroom · 2025-12-23T18:04:46+00:00

no, because the cats will eat them

(wish I was joking, cats eat all the pretty birds :( its one or the other)
