My kitchen faucet is like this. It's one of those with single little stalk to regulate both temperature and pressure. Not only do you need to get it precisely right for the correction temperature, you also need to get it right for the pressure. Not far enough up and you get a little drizzle, too far and it splashes everywhere. And the stalk is kind of sticky as well, as you push it there is no movement until suddenly it moves. So making small adjustments is really hard

He will have the concepts of a plan in a couple of weeks. Literally any day now...

IIRC that was part of the mission? They wanted to push themselves to see what could and could not be done with a very strict budget and cheap commonly available parts and tools.

When my grandpa used to visit every Tuesday, he would join us for dinner, then some coffee after dinner. We would sit on the couch and chat a bit and at some point grandpa would fall asleep. The rest of us just went about our evening, watching some TV, playing a game, just chatting or whatever. After an hour or so, he would wake up, slap his knee, tell us it was a great evening and head home.

It was actually kind of sweet how that old man would fall asleep. That's why you don't fucking elect grandpa to run the country.

Maybe he can have xai buy it, that's his plan for his other failing businesses

2 girls one brush?

Shoot first, ask questions never.

Yeah we've had snow in the end of April, spring just does their own thing. Today it's 10 C outside, you most definitely need a jacket.

One thing to note, if you are using UEFI this is very unlikely to happen. It was designed from the start to have multiple boot options and Windows itself often has multiple entries. It is very rare for a Windows update to mess with any other boot options in UEFI.

You can just use an activation script. Even though technically Windows won't be activated using the OEM license in a VM, the license is still present on the machine. So legally Windows is still licensed. To get around the thing not automatically activating, an activation script is an easy fix.

This is a good activation script:

No, we need to stop using all AI systems as soon as possible. Show the companies behind them that there is no market, no interest, no future profits.

They've been dumping all this AI crap for free or way too cheap. The idea is to create a market which can be exploited in the future. However this isn't sustainable, they have poured billions into this, there is no way they are ever going to make that money back. It's just a matter of time before the bubble collapses and it will make the dotcom bubble popping look like a fish farted in the ocean. And for you people too young to remember what that bubble bursting was like, it was bad. The sooner the bubble bursts, the less bad it will be.

This all wouldn't matter as much, fuck the companies right? Except the little side effect of this whole thing is us using up our precious resources, using up our planet, bringing about horrific scenarios at an alarming pace. We've barely seen what climate change can do, but at this pace we are going to find out.

And don't get your hopes up on the technology improving and becoming more useful. More and more indicators have shown the diminishing returns are hitting hard. And it was a kind of one time thing, one opportunity to train models on all the data humans created and put on the internet. Now that more and more of the internet is being AI generated and people closing access to AI crawlers, the well has been poisoned. All that crappy data created worse performing models, not better. Sure with more raw power and clever tricks the performance can get somewhat better, but it needs to be much much better to do what companies tell you it can do, in order to sell it.

And I haven't even mentioned the morality issues, copyright issues, propaganda/control and educational issues. Let alone accidentally hitting the singularly and wiping out humanity due to some paperclip problem.

Exceptions exist, like expert systems / machine learning in data processing and analysis. But we've had those for decades and just recently got the AI label to ride the hype.

AI needs to go away, sooner rather than later.

I think we have bigger problems than Tesla ~~if~~ when the U.S. goes to shit.
