I'm confused. Who thought that 5G was intended to replace wired Internet?

What was your favorite toy as a kid?

When I visited my grandfather in B.C. that was pretty much the only toy I had access to myself. Sticks really are fun. Especially if you have a German Shepherd nearby. (Those dogs seem to LOVE carrying, chasing, and wrestling over sticks.)

I had a homemade octopus (don't ask) from my mother that was given me when I was two and I finally gave up at about the age of 14. By that point it had been repaired so many times I don't think any original piece was left; the Octopus of Theseus.

Monday motivation... what are you going to get sorted this week?

I'm going to somehow scrape the money together to replace the dead SSD in my home computer. 😞

The free money that investors keep inexplicably throwing at them. To personally profit their companies don't have to profit.

You understand that the very use of "CCP" pretty much marks you as someone completely and utterly ignorant of anything other than Faux News and US government propaganda, right?

How 'bout you come back with this fancy thing called "evidence" of Huawei's "connection" to the Chinese government that—and this is the important bit here, Sparky!—can't be equivalently applied to almost every major US firm vis a vis the US government? (Hint: this is not possible. American companies are as balls-deep in American government trade policy and even military/espionage hooks as Chinese firms are in Chinese government trade and military/espionage policy.)

AI glazers are something else

Phone was released in 2021, meaning the software in it was made long before that. ChatGPT was pissed onto the world in 2022. Obviously exactly the same technology used.

Fucking Hell you're an annoying twat.

😆 Ayup. This post has been a gold mine of accounts to block. After mocking them.

I literally said one message earlier that my phone predates the outbreak of degenerative AI. I got it in 2021. If that's "hilariously old" to you, so be it. It works (unlike degenerative AI).

The only bit of marketing terminology that has multiple high profile university research labs dedicated to it since the 50s.

The intelligence being referred to in AI is not the same thing.

Now ask yourself this, Sparky. Why was it called "Artificial Intelligence"? If it was, and I quote:

... comparing the abstract notion of a triangle to a rabbit.

I'll give you a little clue: "artificial intelligence" gets more research grants than does any of these:

  • string of fancy-schmancy if/then statements
  • brain-damaged linear classifier
  • string of fancy-schmancy if/then statements disguised as a flowchart
  • curve fitting through brain-damaged linear classifier
  • precious, fussy line-drawer
  • shallow pattern matcher but hey at least it eats all the available hardware (phase I)
  • scoreboard-directed brute force button masher
  • "what if we ran the shallow pattern matcher backwards" but hey, at least it eats more than all the available hardware (phase II)

Best Burn of the Week?

Who rejected you that has you so invested in this story, dude? Seriously, get over her, try to figure out why you were rejected, and fix it. You don't have to be an incel all your life.
