Dudes who have more money than sense that risk their trading access and waste thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of their own time just to make paperwork for the world’s (formerly) most cost-effective and most highly armed accounts-receivable department?

Lol, yeah. I want to believe this too. Imagine having the (formerly) cushy government job where you get to process all of this and if you fuck it up then the guy has to prove you wrong to contest your assessment. Hell, I’d audit the guy just to be thorough, that many zero-profit transactions probably smells like money laundering. XD

Yoyos got supplanted by hacky sacks during my school days.

Those sesame ginger salads you get at fancy japanese steakhouses.

I really hope people are starting to catch on, large language models aren’t “intelligent”, they’re multidimensional maps of human language use and querying them is just tracing a vector “forward” through language-space from the starting point of a prompt.

It’s the reification fallacy writ so large it’s eclipsing entire national economies. Human intelligence isn’t in language, language is a product of human intelligence. The map is not the territory.

And yeah, it is pretty cool that we have the processing power to map out language-space well enough to draw some vectors that remain coherent over thousands of tokens, but using a billion-parameter model to do what could be accomplished with probably-already-existing management software and a few seconds of CPU time per week is as wasteful as it is misguided.

Call it a coca-cola.

All of them, lol~.

But for real, I’ve been working in web hosting and related fields for over 15 years and the enshittification is still accelerating. It’s long past time to stop relying on centrally hosted sites and start working on decentralized services.

I’m one of those people! =D

A fancy curled moustache and perky little titties, the combo that cracks eggs and confuses straights!

I’m enby, taking my shirt off is like flipping a coin.

They’re hopeless, I can pad out my bra to C-cups but unless I swap my tee shirts and jeans for blouses and skirts they can never tell I’m not a guy. XD

New Outlook pretends to support RSS, but there’s no way to trigger an update. You read your feeds on Microsoft’s schedule or not at all.

Worked for me, though I’m not so much a trans woman as I am a masc-presenting transfem enby (A.K.A., the rare and enigmatic Trans Tomboy).

If it’s the neurotic/anxious one, definitely not.

If it’s the group’s inexplicable psychic, definitely yes.

If businesses wanted stability they wouldn’t make the working conditions so bad.

You must live in a civilized country.

America is not a civilized country.

They did that on purpose. “Cashless” just means giving a middleman the opportunity to take a cut.

Well, you’ve got my first three. Then there’s:

“Be gay, do crimes.”

Referencing “my partners” whenever appropriate (or at least as often as straight people talk about their families) and then having to explain polyamory to confused old people.

“Buy local, use cash.”

“The trick to a fancy curled moustache is not to twist it. The moustache-twirling villain is a myth, you’ve gotta spike it out straight and then bend the curve in.”

There’s two kinds of weirdos, the good kind that accepts their weirdness and lives authentically, and the bad kind who insist that they are normal and redirect their feelings of shame into hate for everyone who thinks they’re weird.

Likewise!

Are you familiar with the best kept secret in English, Adjective Ordering?

I just say that I do, but I actually didn’t touch Copilot for so long that my license expired. XD
