I was fine with Jews needing a homeland where they could posse up and protect themselves, but that shit got out of control decade over decade. It's like they're implementing some sort of final solution or something.

Ah! No, I never suspected LLMs would work for architecture.

This thread got me to sign up for the free version of Claude, which promptly hosed a very simple Powershell script I had on hand. BUT, it did give me ideas on speeding it up, things I hadn't thought of. I'll take another pass without so many beers in my blood.

You WAY over complicating this shit. :) I ain't smart enough to try all that. Try mnemonics as in my posts here.

This is readily fixable. See my comments ITT.

It took me over two years to get my wife to hang the fucking keys on the rack by the door and she's still a bit hit-and-miss.

"Where are my keys?!"

"Well, they're not on the rack, that's for sure."

See my comments ITT about mnemonics. Read a book about it back in the 90s, very short. The author promised I would be able to remember the 50 US states in alphabetical order in minutes. Yeah, right. I had the first 20 down with no effort. Life changing brain hack.

Imagine the thing you can't forget attacking you, or a wall of $thing busting through the door as you approach. The more surreal the scene, the better you'll remember. Neat part? You might not remember what you imagined, but your brain will kick into gear on it's own. It's a simpler version of a memory palace.

I got a story. Gf and I are out partying on New Years. 2AM, bar's closed, time to go. I can't find her truck keys. Oh FFS. We spent two hours wandering the empty streets and parking lots in the freezing cold, her bitching non-stop at me for losing them, finally called a cab on a pay phone. While waiting at the Quickie Mart, she found the keys in her overcoat pocket. She was a bit sheepish, and that's British understatement.

Now for the cake's icing! Woke up on New Year's Day and remembered the injustice done. Sat up and bed and was about to bitch, ...croak... Had the all-time worst case of strep, personal best, puked when I looked at the back of my throat in the mirror. Solid white puss, no pink in sight, with black streaks (smoking) running through it.

Picture something absurd and surreal, like the list coming to life and trying to smother you as you approach the door. Mnemonics work and don't take practice.

I've got a trick! Mnemonics!

Say you have to remember a thing. Real example: When I go to camp tomorrow I have to remember to grab a bucket of gravel. Never going to see it, it's off to the side. Hell, I forgot it was there until I opened it last month. What to do now?

I took a few seconds and imagined an absurd scenario (the crazier the better). I pictured pulling up and seeing an Indiana Jones style boulder of those rocks rolling down the path and squishing my truck. It ran over my wife and splatted her, rolling over and over with her stuck to it like a scene from Itchy and Scratchy. (Told ya it was absurd!)

When I pull up, I likely won't picture, or even remember, that scene, but something in my brain will scream, "Go get the rocks first so you don't forget!" But what if I get distracted unloading the truck (which happens every damned time)? I also imagined the same boulder rolling down the trail when I turn the corner where the bucket will be visible.

Another example: I needed to remember to figure out my busted ice maker so I quickly imagined sitting down at my PC and seeing a tsunami of ice cubes flooding out my monitor into my lap. Didn't remember the tsunami, but, "Oh yeah. I need to look that up."

It works on others as well! I've met people and said, "Hi! Name's Scott. You can remember that if you picture me with a talking Scotty dog head yapping at ya." And they will never forget my name.

Whenever I post this someone comes along and explains why it can't work with a load of excuses. FFS y'all, just try it. I don't know of a brain hack that takes less effort and pretty much zero practice.

I didn't feel like a grown man until somewhere around 30. Now I look at the kid with another 25-years under my belt and boy was he a dweeb.

I did that for 6-months, but without the rich wife. We had enough money, and it was fun at first, but I got real depressed. I have to go out in the world and do shit it seems.

“And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.”

and more to the point...

"Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

ai told him to stop nginx since it was using too many resources

That is pure, undistilled awesome. We're approaching "delete system32" kinda awesome.

So would it be fair to say LLMs are fine for small chunks of code as long as you know exactly what that code does? That's the only use I've gotten, but I'm anything but a real dev.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”

Hah! I had dark fiber in mind before I hit that part of your comment. Not much of value will be left after the AI implosion.

I don't watch sportball, but all this controversy bringing a few video clips to my attention has given me a bit of interest in women's sports I didn't have before.

That last paragraph sounds like an ideal approach. Do that thing.

They won't be for sale to the hoi polloi.

Came to say, we're fucking machines vs. the rest of mammalia. Our females are in heat 24/7 and the males are constantly hunting pussy. Seriously though, does any mammal come close? Bonobos I think?
