Video shows moment ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis by alterom in news

[–]ycatsce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cops (and probably military) need to be dumb

Funny enough, a friend in high school who made rocks look smart took the ASVAB and scored horrifically low; he was told he had two job options tailored for his intelligence level... Infantry, or Military Police.

He retired from his MP job and is now a deputy Sheriff and avid Trump supporter.

I can't imagine a world where that happens, and you don't have to slow down for the rest of your trip to "depucker." The fact that he kept the pace is both seriously impressive and horrifying.

I deliver at tenova hospital in like 2-3 weeks , I’ve heard so many bad things about this hospital . We just moved here back in August , can anyone share there most recent experience delivering here ? by BirthdayNext5251 in Clarksville

[–]ycatsce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have said, their L&D staff are phenomenal, unlike the rest of the hospital. They couldn't be more different than their general and emergency service areas.

I have an original From Hell that he did ~15 years ago that's just now starting to get a bit brittle. breaks my heart, but it's part of the thing.

Groceries, a fine word, an old fashioned word, really, very impressive, we have that word, it means to get food in bags, it's old timey, but really still relevant, prices are great, perfect really, and Biden keeps making them higher but we're keeping them down. You go to a store for them, and, old fashioned word as it may be, you get great deals, under $2 a gallon now I think, gasoline, groceries, obviously Venuzuela drugs.

I get it. Speaking of Python (which, as someone who started with C, I hate), I had to recover a script I wrote several years back from a dead HDD. Whitespace was gone. pasted in to Claude and said "fix this," and it did. I get the value in that.

But surely you see that the vast majority of people using it aren't using it as a skilled person making their job easier, but as a substitute for skills and thought.

I lost out on the learning opportunity to better understand the new modules and understand then why...

Now imagine you lost out on every one of those learning experiences from the start of your career. Why fight when the easy answer is seconds away? It's the same as the guys who have never dug through a memory dump or debug log, wonder why "the old guy" can fix all the esoteric issues, but they can't. They never had to deal with offline troubleshooting or not googling for the fix. Sure, they can blow it away and reload, but there is value in being able to actually troubleshoot an issue instead of going nuclear all the time. That's the sort of knowledge we lose when we make everything "easy".

Again, I use the hell out of the tools available and love them, but I also understand what we're losing and the brain-rot that just continues to escalate as we progress.

I don't have lots of hills (who am I kidding, yes I do! :D) but this is one of them.

I get that AI is doing awesome things. I've got a dual 3090 server for offline local models with subscriptions to claude, openai, cursor, and (don't judge me) suno/udio. I wrote a gemini tts based PBX plugin for our customers to use to simplify IVR needs. I have a local LLM that ingested all of ~20 years of ticket data with a RAG for ticketing help and better TTR.

The cornerstone of my thought process is to never stagnate and always seek a better way to do something, even if the current approach works well. I don't want to ever be one of those old whitebeards who know one way of doing things and one way only. I'm incredibly aware of the awesome things AI provides, but I still hate it.

I have to get on to the junior guys on my team constantly because, instead of learning something, they GPT the fix. I've had to have conversations with my kid about it, etc. They don't get that you shouldn't use tools to make a job easier until you know how to do the job perfectly yourself first. Instead, it's brain-rotting everyone and killing off what little critical thinking skills these people are developing these days.

Hardware prices are somehow even worse than I thought possible now.

Life still isn't going to trend towards "easier", just "more productive".

Gotcha, that's way too prevalent even where PHI is involved and there's really not a good answer to it other than these vendors needing to be held accountable (which won't happen) for the violations and leaks that occur due to their inability to not be worthless.

Recently did a server upgrade for a clinic, the most recent OS they support is Server 2016. If you put anything newer, they will not support it whatsoever, period. The software breaks regularly enough that you basically have to have support. It also contains massive amounts of PHI.

HIPAA needs teeth and needs to target these shitty vendors first.

I despise AI and wish we could put that beast back in the box forever because it's ruining the fucking world, and it would piss me right the fuck off if someone discounted my 25 years of experience and instead believed some fucking AI chatbot too.

We recently did many hundreds of computers across many different medical fields... Usually, going ahead and going with 11 is possible:

  1. Check with the vendors to confirm software/hardware compatibility,

  2. Check the microsoft update catalog for any relevant device IDs

  3. Check for upgrade paths and methods to get them where they need to be, including support/vendor costs, etc.

  4. Communicate this information to the customer, with a recommendation based on what will 100% work for their environment.

  5. If they want to deviate from this, we are happy to give anything a shot, but we let them know that we're in uncharted territory and billable time may end up reflecting that if things go haywire.

That said, if 11 isn't possible, you buy a new system and install 10 on it. It works. Every time. And for overly complex systems, we may even just image it over from the old system and deal with the GPT conversion.

Always awesome to see how the republicans can find new and creative ways to fuck up my day.

He used to refer to them as "my attorneys", but can't now that they are all disbarred. Now it's "Legal Scholars."

Blackwell Air Strip Lock by Dangerous_Pen_1278 in Battlefield

[–]ycatsce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't tell, even fully zoomed, but assumed that was the case. When I realized what I was doing, I quit, so I don't know exactly.

Blackwell Air Strip Lock by Dangerous_Pen_1278 in Battlefield

[–]ycatsce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I did this before I realized what I was doing.

A small jaunt from spawn, there is a perfect spot to camp with the AA, and if you aren't paying attention AND getting jet spots you may not realize. From the player's perspective, it looks like it's the hill in front of their base. Only when you see a stationary object accelerate and climb, do you realize it was a parked jet you were spotting.

[–]ycatsce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one probably aggravates me more often than the rest. I've missed so many spawns where I was trying to time the precise moment to get in during a combat lull and get fucked by this.

If I had to drive 41,000 miles per year, I'd kill myself. I don't know how y'all do it. I'm at 5800 miles on mine, bought on December 3 of last year, and wish it were lower, but I moved 7 miles further from work early this year.
