As my son gets older the presents get less numerous and more expensive. So it’s getting better.

Ok, what? When you were 20, how many 14 year olds did you interact with?

I can count exactly 1. It was my (ex) sister in law.

Uh

Well

No

Actually I already have to take salt tablets for another medical issue. But Wegovy certainly didn’t help that issue.

Oh thank God. I thought it was my IBS acting up again. I’ve been on it for over a year and lost the weight really well, but the constipation was somewhat horrific.

I’m no mental health expert, but saying that to a woman’s father might be considered suicidal or self-injurious behavior.

I’m so confused

I didn’t grow up in the 60s or watching the show so maybe I just don’t remember seeing her twitch her nose ever. I always thought it was some sort of a quick smirk she did when using her power.

Sat on it for too long?

I think you fell for the trick they’re trying to sell that the LLMs are capable of “reasoning.”

They are not. They are gigantic matricies of numbers that are applied to text after the text has been assigned numbers.

For example, if we stick a fork in an outlet, we will not do it again. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.

An LLM has no means of testing whether or not it is a bad idea.

Additionally, an LLM doesn’t have the capability to observe others who test an action.

If LLMs could test their outputs to find the real consequences of their statements, then we would be talking about actual intelligence. For now, they’re just number maps.

Is Comic Sans ADHD friendly?

If you have ADHD you know that nothing is friendly. Or everything can be. Or something that triggers feel good becomes interesting and good. Maybe you know why you asked the question, maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe I forgot why i started answering this in the first place.

Point is maybe?

I don’t particularly like the comparison because I really enjoyed his performance as Paul

But you can’t argue with results

To be fair

He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.

But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.

Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool

But they aren’t.

Why can’t billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It’s not like there aren’t scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.

Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.

Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.

Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?

Like fucking Christ, that’s the part I don’t understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it’s after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year’s tuition from increasing.

And it’s open source!

Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.

But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.

I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.

Hmmm.

I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn’t know about zinc oxide and I didn’t know they were hard to absorb.

I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead

Wait hold on

Aren’t you basically just taking a shot then?

Often they have quite a bit of experience in the military right?

This is the part thats exciting to me.

Who hasn’t been affected by this? Or hasn’t seen health insurance denials hurt people?

They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won’t bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.

I think it’s far more than that though. I think a lot of parents would agree with me that Christmas morning and birthdays are probably the most exciting time of the year.

Debt is debt. It is nothing compared to the joy your child gets. That joy you see in your kid is worth more than most could ever earn anyway.

And I’ve seen the poorest families happily dip into that debt. They know it doesn’t make things easier.
