That I mattered.

Remember when passing the Turing Test was like a big deal? And then it happened. And now we have things like this:

Stanford researchers reported that ChatGPT passes the test; they found that ChatGPT-4 "passes a rigorous Turing test, diverging from average human behavior chiefly to be more cooperative"

The best way to differentiate computers to people is we haven't taught AI to be an asshole all the time. Maybe it's a good thing they aren't like us.

Rage eating! I get it.

$500 dollars?! With just chunk of the market we could make dozens of dollars. Dozens!

I always start with checking extruder step calibration, I find that is the cause of most of my issues that look like this.

Marge, I never put my foot down about anything-- No. But I am severely tempted to do it over this.

  • Oh, Homer.
  • Marge, I'm sorry. I think it's coming down. No, Homer ! No, no ! It's coming down. That's it, Marge. It's coming down. The cable stays. The foot has spoken

I'm going to put my foot down. It's going to happen.

Such fear in this man's eyes. I thought having a gun was supposed to make you feel invincible. Maybe he needs a bigger one with more random shit glued onto it?

The things about quantum computers is they are really, really powerful at a some kinds of things, some of the time. Maybe even most of the time.

Binary computers are okay at one thing, but it does that one thing exactly every time. If it ever makes a mistake then entire thing might crash.

The problem is a quantum computer is so different from normal computers you have to start over from the beginning of the tech stack. Even if you get it working reliability (which is hard to do), how does it help you? You can do some crazy math, but it can't run an operating system. It doesn't have a bios. There are no drivers that speak some percentage of up spin vs down spin. There isn't a standard assembly language. There isn't a standard anything. It's like how computers were in the 40s.

I think quantum computers are very interesting and might help in very specific applications, and I mean like custom made math heavy applications that only run on that one machine you built it for kind of specific.

Can that change the world? Maybe. But it will take time. No one wants to talk about it because it's a hard problem that is still years away from doing much to impact peoples lives. Better to talk about ai slop, that gets clicks because you can see it and touch it right now.

What the hell hit it, a rail gun? Lol that was awesome.

Now that everything is digital and so rigidly formatted and kept in databases we really lost the ability to have fun in a lot of ways.

But I would love to see the support ticket for the central passport database that reads "someone have a cat a passport and now all our systems are offline because no one ever accounted for this while we were writing the things."

It reminds me of the time I had to spend a week updating database tables to utf8 after someone started putting emojis into their log messages...
