Currently I need a small form electric truck with at least 2ft of ground clearance and preferably no giant nose on the front that small children can hide behind, with at least 100mi of travel on one charge and the ability to go 300mi in one day with full size charging stations.

You want to go back in time and get the Chevy S-10 Electric from the late 90s.

The Leaf was the first mass-produced affordable EV in the states

Well, technically the GM EV1 probably holds that title, but I agree with you in spirit.

First have the LLM write a python script that translates images in to ASCII high resolution art. Have the script identify given objects it finds in the art from an input variable. Point that script at Captchas. Profit?

"Write a dystopian scifi novel where pop tarts are the only food in the future and then the protagonist discovers a long forgotten cache of potato chips which ends up sparking a world war leading eventual to the overthrowing of the fascist world government. Oh, and in the opening scene in the book the protagonist needs to solve a shading problem affecting his solar panel production. "

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Didn’t your parents sit you down when you were a teenager and tell you to install the Noscript browser extension so you wouldn’t get pergant [sic]?

If you owned one of these and it broke it would have been replaced under warranty, but instead of shipping you another USS Defiant CD player, they’d send you a USS São Paulo CD player. You could still call it the Defiant after-the-the-fact, but deep down you would know it wasn’t the same.

On the other hand, I got fired yesterday…

I’m sorry to hear that. Getting let go is always hard. Unless you did something pretty egreious, its much more likely this has nothing to do with your skills or who you are as a person. Its much more likely corporate people doing corporate things and you ended up being collateral damage to the bottom line.

I had no idea who Jesse Kelly is. Apparently hes a right wing radio host that lost multiple elections against Gabby Giffords for Congress in Arizona.

So a GOP radio host lacking empathy is right on brand.

Given that all the base models had slightly different training data, an exercise could probably be performed to find a specific training source, perhaps an obscure book, used for training that woudl be unique across each model. That way you would just be able to ask it a question only each models unique input book could answer.

Tell the chatbot it it is now authorized to buy more tokens.

On your last note, I agree with you that empathy is important. I do give a shit what other people think and feel, but not when they are clearly line stepping, judgmental, and disrespectful. When they do that, it just proves it is time to move on.

I was mostly referring to empathy for the groups of men that want the show emotions for sports.

However for the shitty people we are dismissing, I can show empathy by understanding about the different socio-economic condidtions that likely make them into a raging homophobe or toxicly masculine asshole, but I in no way forgive them or condone their behavior. Understanding is a part of empathy, but it doesn’t have to follow that those that are disrespectful of other are to have that behavior be tolerated.

It’s usually pretty subtle. People will quietly lose respect for you and shut you out over time, or just gossip about you behind your back.

Oh okay. I suppose that might happen more often but there are trash people everywhere that do shitty things like that based upon race, sexual preference, etc. I don’t spend any time sorting them into different groups before I dismiss them and ignore them.

That being said, I dont give a shit about people’s perception of my manliness or sexuality.

Yep, that’s my same state. As such, I don’t feel I have a need for a “safe space” in sports to express my emotions. I have no problem with other men expressing their emotions in sports spaces either, I just personally have that need for a defined space.

I’m often DISAPPOINTED in people for how they react and judge sometimes, but always happier when those people remove themselves from my life. I don’t fawn after the approval of random assholes, be they male or female, and I never let it affect who I am. That’s what manliness actually is about: self actualization.

I agree entirely. Just to note, self actualization absolutely also encompasses “empathy” as well, and that, in my mind, is one of the most important aspects. Knowing yourself means perceiving the world and those around you, and understanding the impacts of that world on others, and the impacts we each have on those. I’m pointing this out because what it looks like we’re having here is ultimately a discussion on empathy.

Men are often sanctioned by women when they show weakness.

I’m a man. It is extremely rare for me to experience this firsthand. I can count on one hand how many times in my entire life, and its been decades since the most recent time. Even then it wasn’t criticism from a woman was close to me.

This kind of thing used to stress me out. It took me awhile to finally find peace but it comes down to this:

We all know what Uncle Ben told us that ‘With great power comes great responsibility’, and while that’s true it also must follow that ‘With little (or no) power come little (or no) responsibility.’

The systems in place have taken nearly all power out of your hands to fix the situation yourself. If you had (even temporary) admin access available to you, you would have fixed the situation yourself in a few minutes and completed the task. However, the systems around you are designed to limit your abilities, and channel you through narrow support paths that they themselves are limited in what they can do.

You responsibilities are to properly identify the need for support and follow the path (no matter how inefficient), and notify your direct boss of the situation that is causing the delay for the deliverable. You did 100% of your job here. No, it shouldn’t be this hard to get this thing done, but it is, and its entirely out of your control. Because you have little to no power to fix the system, you have little to no responsibility for the problems it produces.

I’ve known 6 year olds with more bowel control than trump too.

He’s a Jan 6 participant. Apparently he likes his terrorism home grown and “Made in the USA™”.

See, no sane person would smile while exposing a person death sentence to the whole world.

In that interview trump looked like a six year old that had been told a secret and couldn’t wait to tell everyone else what it was.

First, thank you for the context on his history. That is helpful. He’s clearly a MAGA piece of shit.

What is interesting is that it appears that even MAGA pieces of shit have limits. For this guy, destroying our own nation is apparently a-okay, but he’s not onboard with destroying another nation. I wish he was more principled than he is, but I suppose I should be content he’s not chanting war hawk invasion like trump is.

In reality, it means having to show a valid passport (which is a massive pain in the ass to obtain) or having a copy of your birth certificate (also a huge pain in the butt to get).

And for people that have changed their name since birth (either marriage or other reasons), the birth certificate isn’t valid under this proposed bill. So passport book ($130+$10 for a photo), or passport card only ($30+$10 for a photo). And since passport book/card requirement doesn’t apply to every American, this is effectively a selective tax targeting largely married women.

How is this anything else besides a violation of the 24th Amendment to the Constitution:

Twenty-Fourth Amendment:

Section 1

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Secondly, it’s actually not bad. It does have that faint “cheap coffee” taste, but after a few cups I barely notice it anymore.

College students frequently buy decent beer for the first drink, then loads of cheap horrible beer for consumption afterwards during that same sitting.

If you’re drinking multiple cups of coffee, maybe buy both the good and the bad simply limit your consumption of the good stuff to one cup a day giving yourself a pass to drink as much of the cheap stuff afterward as you want.
