Since when does the US president select the CEOs of major corporations?

Compressing the springs (actually the pistons) isn’t too difficult. Just use a C-clamp pressing against the old brake pad, and open the cap to the brake fluid reservoir.

Habitat For Humanity is the real hardware store worth looking at.

Anywhere else is a last resort.

Yeah, but IMO, chocolate is hard to screw up. Even very shitty chocolate ice cream is still pretty good.

If you find yourself in a situation where you only have shitty ice cream available, always go for the chocolate.

Can you believe that guy in the lobby didn’t hold the door open for us?

If they want to honeypot me, they’re going to need fursuits.

Most places are not urban.

That’s really a flawed analogy, though. In this analogy, the man isn’t passing the Chinese Turing Test – the program is passing the Turing Test. The man is just the hardware that the program is running on.

It’s not a question of whether the man (the hardware) has any understanding. What you want to know is if the program has any understanding. Honestly, it seems like deliberately muddying the issue by proposing this hypothetical ‘intelligent hardware’ and using it to distract from the actual question about the software’s intelligence.

If I’m running a supposedly ‘intelligent’ AI on my 3090, you can’t refute that by pointing out that the 3090 is not intelligent on its own, without software.

You gotta send separate emails with only one point/question in each email. Leave them nothing else to respond to.

Gotta burn up the token quota somehow, or the boss will be mad again.

Depending on the humidity in the pit, it could be very dehydrating and cause them to basically mummify.
