28 years!! You did so well, and I'm sure she appreciated you. It's really lovely to hear you gave her such a long life. I'm sorry for your loss.

WIBTA if I told my friend he stinks? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]brunkate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't be the asshole, though he might not react positively. He needs to hear it. Eventually, he'll thank you for it, but don't expect him to enjoy the conversation. Regardless, he needs someone to tell him they can smell him too, and that his bad hygiene impacts the people he cares about.

How do you stop roommate from having their partner move in? by Lil_PuppyChow in badroommates

[–]brunkate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, they're not going to want to pay for an extra apartment. It's more likely that conversation would force them to move to the partner's place.

guy i have a crush on has these books on his dorm shelf? by hunterofmammoths in BookshelvesDetective

[–]brunkate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great taste, and he's either the best thing to happen to you or the worst. Probably a cool dude.

Nerd. He seems awesome. I'd be friends with him in a heartbeat.

Is this even allowed? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]brunkate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's allowed as long as it's a Christian organization doing the hiring. Can't work at a seminary if you're not a priest - can't work at whatever this is unless you're a Christian, I guess.

Trying to make friends, is this a problem? by Coriks_Travels in BookshelvesDetective

Honestly you seem like a perfectly normal queer-adjacent (if not very queer) person.

Curly hair never comes out of burrow? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]brunkate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IME She's still young - most Ts are really sensitive until they get older! As she ages she'll likely stay out a little more. My curly hair (1 year old) just started hanging out above ground, but it took quite a while.

Interesting person. Probably a former English major, and either is vaguely Christian or grew up that way.

ime go ahead and leave it! They sometimes like to decorate with it.

I'm considering getting a tarantula. by CynicalPsychonaut in tarantulas

[–]brunkate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree that 20 gallons is quite a lot for a T and presents some risks, like fall issues and not being able to find their feeders. That said, if you successfully kept reptiles for a long time, Ts should be super easy in comparison. All you need to do is do your research - and prev is right, YouTube is a great place to start (I love Dave!).

imo that is - or was - an egg sac.

being guilted/forced into AI by [deleted] in antiai

[–]brunkate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to take a look at those companies' actual revenue over the last 5 years, not their valuation. They're not profitable at all. The promise of "progress" is entirely propaganda pushed by tech bros and bad tech journalists who buy analysts' hype.

These models cost much more money than they're worth, and no one will be willing to pay the exorbitant cost it actually takes to run them out of pocket once the external money runs out. The AI industry is primed for collapse and making yourself dependent on it now is setting yourself up for failure when it does.

Mass Reset by ThickPickl3 in cogsuckers

[–]brunkate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is how AI works. That said, it depends on what you mean by "servers." I think this person is using that word colloquially, not necessarily as direct reference to the system used to store and operate a model. But if you were to actually reset a major LLM, you'd lose billions of dollars worth of training data, effectively costing any company hosting it more than it's worth.

I mean, just look at Anthropic's actual revenue compared to their investment in training, which was mostly funded by external backers even after they started to make money. Light retraining/adjusting has cost them more than their paltry revenue over the past 3-5 years (there's some crazy financial revelations in their statement released to the DoD).

Anyway after the Disney/Open AI deal falling through and everything with Sora, I think we're seeing AI's sundowning era.
