In the current political climate, I can’t understand how they got visas to enter the country and then, with appropriate visas, how/why ICE allowed them to cross the border. Of course I understand how it’s possible, it just seems weirdly wrong.
I get this one. Many years ago a former wife tried to convert me. I started going to chruch, bible studies etc. and after a while I realised that none of the people I was with actually believed anything - they were just going through the motions doing the stuff you need to do to stay in the club.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. I have god, not God. I know because I was typing on my phone and it autocorrected to God three times and I had to go back and fix it.
33% have a college degree yet only 3% are atheist. That’s batshit crazy. I can’t imagine having the critical thinking skills needed for a degree and not using those skills to figure out that god is a fairy tale.
Yes I know lots of educated people are religious - I had several christian professors when I was studying mathematics / computer science. That doesn’t make it any less crazy to me.
I have a STEM background myself and spent a good bit of my career writing (relatively poorly in my opinion) technical documentation. I understand what you’re saying and I guess I didn’t make my point very well.
I was hoping people would understand that I was referring to the enshitification of internet search results - where every search leads to pages of results of entire articles about very simple topics that say basically nothing. It seems obvious to be, though I admit I’m making an assumption, that the vast majority of these articles are LLM generated fluff attempting to lure people to pages to generate ad revenue.
I get what you’re saying, but I’ll just clarify that my 16 paragraphs vs 16 words was about wordiness, not layout.
Denial information is available on the internet, so LLMs have ingested it. Couldn’t the above output have easily been generated with a prompt like “what arguments do holocaust deniers use?”?
For me the most obvious tell is using 16 paragraphs to say something that could have been said with 16 words.
I’m sure I’ve used some software that’s auto corrected hyphens to em-dashes too, but I can’t remember what.
I’m thinking that you used “akschuelly” to make this a joke? It hasn’t really worked.
It’s pre terminated pure copper direct burial cat6 from Amazon. I don’t have access to a real tester, but my cisco switch has some built in test capability and I’m not sure I fully understand the results, but it’s assessment of the cable length is pretty close and, more importantly, it shows all the pairs are the same as each other. I think that if there was some damage to the cable, it’s unlikely that it would affect all the pairs in exactly the same way. I have other weird grounding issues - like 20V between neutral and ground, even though it’s a new house and they’re properly bonded at the service entry. I had a really old transformer on the street feeding the two buildings and the power company recently replaced it - I was disappointed when this didn’t resolve all my issues.
I guess that’s what I haven’t figured out yet - it’s about 200’ and I don’t have 200’ of wire laying around. I’m thinking of making dummy terminations for each end of my cat6 cable and stripping each of the pairs and twisting them together so it works as a single conductor and using that to measure.
a Gaia?
It’s a 200’ cable and the buildings each have their own connection to the power company. I suspect that the earth potential of the two buildings is quite different - I just have not figured out a way to measure it yet and not sure if there’s anything I can do to fix it even if I do confirm it.
I already have a pair of Ubiquiti airMax GigaBeams left over from a different project and agree - they perform incredibly well. I didn’t even bother aligning mine as they did 800Mbit/s just pointed in the right general direction. A trench was being dug to the studio for another reason and cable is relatively cheap so I figured I’d drop one in. Hasn’t turned out as well as I hoped. I will setup the GigaBeams one day - but the cable does occasionally sync at 1Gbps and I’m hoping that one day it just stays there :-)
As someone who grew up with 10Base2 and 10BaseT, and thought 100Mbps was amazing - it still surprises me every time I’m reminded how slow it is now. I buried a cat6 cable out to my wife’s studio and due to (I assume) some grounding issues it only syncs at 100Mbps - it works for general browsing etc., but every time we try to move some data it’s arggghhh.
I know you’re having a joke, but Barron’s taller than either of them - he’s 6’7" or 6’9" depending on who you ask.
I don’t see how it can work because in general left leaning people have a brain and the form their own opinions. We’re not out looking for some hero daddy figure to tell us what to think.
Building propoganda to make the current democrats seem good isn’t the solution. The democrats actually need to be good. But, of course, that will never happen because it would mean dumping the billionaires and the Zionists. We’re fucked.
Me too, but only because I very strongly lean toward “god was created by man” rather than the other way around.
It’s messed up that so many people believe it. I belived it! I’m not on speaking terms with my mother any more since I had a conversation with her about his “grab em by the pussy” comments and her willingness to forgive him for that, despite his obvious lack of contrition. I can 100% believe that there are people out there that would forgive him raping their daughter.
