Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

I think that is a literal storyline in Belgarath the Sorcerer. The wizard, Belgarath, spends thousands of years monitoring and manipulating various family lines. One of those is a line of dryads who are tiny and all female. He was "forced" to mate with them or they would kill him with bows, but he didn't really complain about it. He is able to avoid these "conflicts" in the future after discovering chocolate makes them orgasm.

Some times you don't think about how weird this shit gets until you explain it to someone else.

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer "the hard drive" like grandma and the fans kicked on.

They are loosing to Sony so they have to find new ways of competing for business. You know, how it's supposed to work.

Wish it worked that way more often.

I have worked as a driver helper in the past. This pay makes sense. It's a demanding job mentally and physically. With the pay being good it also means people work really hard to get that job and really hard to keep it. Congratulations to them.

They are, but it's literally a single pixel video resolution and a really low frame rate.

The most rational explanation I have heard is that they are just well dressed hoarders. Acquiring more wealthy is an attempt to smother the bad feelings with the pleasure of "success". But the pleasure of success is fleeting and the goal posts move every time. So they keep chasing "success" and hoarding wealth to make the bad feelings go away. But that will never heal their emotional issues, so they will never stop.

Having read the article it sounds like Pat is more complaining that Intel would have been positioned to milk the AI cow if the previous CEOs weren't fucking idiots.

Many times the best way to respond to strong emotions is to just sit with it. Sit and do nothing but experience it. Don't try to "solve the problem", don't shove it down.

Which you can probably afford to do with the money you save working from here me.

Gotta meet the customer where they are, not where you would like them to be. Most people don't want to learn a new thing.

No, he is being attacked because he publicly contradicted Trump. If do anything Trump perceives as "making him look bad", he will attack you.

To be fair, if our AI was as capable as his AI vibe coding would be viable.

Funny how tools are useful. But a person who is a tool is not.

Makes sense. In a small community everyone knows each other and can rely on trust/reputation to keep things fair.

Not getting enough sleep can cause ADHD like symptoms or make ADHD symptoms worse. It might be worth looking into if your not getting enough quality sleep. Getting consistent quality sleep is a solid unmedicated way to reduce ADHD symptoms.

If I read it correctly, he used a LLM to help him write Python for a hobby project. I think this falls into an open minded, "who cares?". Come back when he used it for something intended for public or commercial use.

I don't appreciate this slander against data. If anything the LLMs are like the holo deck. Can be entertaining/useful but buggy as shit and require stupid amounts of power to operate.

You don't want hardware raid. Some options you can research:

• Mdadm - Linux software raid
• ZFS - Combo raid and filesystem
• Btrfs - A filesystem that can also do raid things

Some OS options to consider:

• Debian - good if you want to learn to do everything yourself
• Truenas Scale - Comercial NAS OS. I bit of work to get started, but very stable once going.
• Unraid - Enthusiast focused NAS OS. Not as stable as Truenas, but easier to get started and a lot of community support.

There are probably other software/OS's to consider, but those are the ones I have any experience with. I personally use ZFS on Truenas with a lot of help from this YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@lawrencesystems?si=O1Z4BuEjogjdsslF

Basically it is the trendy word to say, "This thing does not align to my narrow world view and is therefore bad and wrong."
