The last time this thread came up there were some convincing comments suggesting that the over torque protection for philips was not an intended feature.

You seem to have misunderstood, and the article you linked doesn’t contradict what I’ve said.

Wealthy, sophisticated LLM developers would not have been scraping old reddit. They would pay reddit for API access.

Shutting down old reddit closes the door on back yard developers, not OpenAI.

Additionally, when you run a prompt in a chatbot, it doesn’t scurry away and scrape old reddit and then formulate an answer. The scraping of content is going on while the model is being developed.

OpenAI would not have been scraping old ui?

Also most reddit content has long since been injested. No need to visit your http site anymore

Haah. Sweet.

Such small dick energy. Look at this amazing car that I pretend is mine.

I still like to chuckle about his fluffer from that arrest video, I wonder what he’s up to now.

It depends on the software / configuration / script.

In any sane set up, if the user fails to navigate the menu n times you get dumped to an operator. 0 or * or # aren’t special hacks, you just need invalid navigation.

I imagine what you have noticed is that increasingly there just isn’t an operator to talk to, or at least the org you’re calling really doesnt want to talk to you, so this kind of navigation failure just dumps you back to the start or something.

No son of mine is going to marry a chat bot!

I had a call from a scammer using a chat bot or voice generator?

Weirdly I was sure I could hear someone typing. I mean it would be trivial to set things up so the victim couldn’t hear that.

Regardless, it just didn’t sound like a human. I mean it was good but it was definitely in the uncanny valley.

Weirdly, it was obviously intended for victims to think it was human, but then at the end it said “I’m just going to transfer you to a human operator now”, and hung up.

I usually just press star or hash on the number pad a bunch of times

Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.

I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.

Paradoxically, the paradox of tolerance is most often cited in the course of branding someone as “intolerant” and thereby excusing your intolerance of them.

Its a problem of semantics. Who really is sufficiently intolerant to be intolerable?

Because YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.

LOL. You do you but this sounds like a nightmare to me.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

The original comment:

I would put a urinal in as well. […] I’ve seen what other savages do to the toilet seat when they have to hit a stationary target from a couple feet away.

This guy:

Piss-soaked floors smell worse, but that’s not a urinal problem per se.

My comment:

Are you really suggesting that the addition of a urinal to a non-gender specific toilet would make it smell better ?

Your comment:

[toilets and urinals] will stack one on top of another, not cancel with each other.

In this context:

• my comment is not a straw man but responds to both the piss-soaked floor guy and the original comment
• you seem to agree with me. Added urinal means worse smell.

If only there was a single device that could act as a receptacle and disposal for both pee and poo.

Are you really suggesting that the addition of a urinal to a non-gender specific toilet would make it smell better ?

That’s not my observed experience.

Do urinals tend to stink more?

I feel like people flush less because after the pee drains out you can’t see it any more, despite it still being there in the trap.

Some autoflush periodically or when you open the door.

I don’t think that’s true.

I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

As in, they know they’re making things worse, but if they don’t do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.

Sure but if we are building out renewable capability as quick as we can, but it’s being outstripped by demand, then maybe demand is part of the problem.

They know that things are going to be shit. They just wasn’t the nicest yacht to live on when it does.

I guess we would be 30 years from stable scalable fusion reactions?
