I’m currently involved in a legal case in which I produced audio recordings. I was questioned intensely by the other sides lawyer about the modified date on windows.
I kept asking him to clarify what he meant by modified until he said “I don’t know”.
Like. Ffs.
But then you’re Mansplaining.
Even if we have the Patriarchy app4oved mind scanning kits out instructions are to not use them so…I’d hate to accidentally not Mansplain something.
If past.lives are real then every hr employee across the globe had a past life as some middle manag3mentnpaper.pusher making the Holocaust possible.
If you work in hr there’s about a 99℅ you are irredeemably evil.
You’re misunderstanding my use of the phrase.
I’m using it in the context or immersing in something you have no understanding of. I just dove right into and skipped most of the intro type stuff.
You’re using the phrase to talk about relative complexity / difficulty not how I’ve usually heard it used but it makes sense.
Like. Most people learning python start with hello world. I spent too many hours learning to own hot encode a 500gb dataset of reddit porn and tweak stylegan 3 a bit to train it on porn. None of which is remarkable objectively but there were a lot of very basic things I needed to learn to finish the task. That’s what I mean by jumping in the deep end - throwing yourself into something you are probably poorly or il equipped for and just figuring it out as you go.
There is a deep end of coding complexity of course, but, different kind of deep end.
I can’t do math for shit and I failed formal logic in uni. I’m not built for math. I just… Don’t care and can’t make myself care. I’ve taught myself python over the past year and amd have become fairly comfortable with bash. Which has weirdly helped me with python?
Anyway I’m not very good at either yet. And there are huge gaps in my knowledge. But I’m learning every day.
I’ve done it on my own, and dove right into the fucking deep end with it which is probably the hardest way. But if I can do it then anyone can. You just need to want it. Why do I want it? I have no idea. If go crazy doing it for a living.
Train ai to I filtrate Google and kill sundar prichai.
It won’t help anyone’s bottom line but then at least sundar prichai would be dead.
My dick is still out
Excepting yep and Yandex virtually everything else is just a front end for Google / bing afsikm unless I’m incorrect about that?
I liked kagi for the first couple months I had it but then I noticed the results seems to be getting worse. Google tier. I cancelled because why pay for that?
I’m not sure if the results were better at first or whether I just noticed flaws more the longer I used it.
I’m often not even bothering to search for technical issues now. There’s been a big mindset shift in me. If I can’t figure it out on my own then pack it up and move on to the next thing. It’s a 5050 shot at best whether you’ll get help on a forum and search is a dumpster fire everywhere. I’m learning a lot more this way and retaining but fuck me running is it ever frustrating
It’s still just Google and ddg and whatnot though.,?
Like. There’s only a few search engines. Bing. Google. Yandex. Yep.
I haven’t found aggregating them with search to be even remotely useful because more garbage is still garbage
Yippee I oh cahier. Kai ay? Kai eh?
Motherfucker!!
About a year with varying levels of commitment and intensity.
I kind of just threw myself into the deep end. Which was a rewarding but frustrating experience. My first project was one hot encoding 400gb of reddit porn to try and teach stylegan3 how to make porn. And then turning the function on in stylegan3. And then there was validating the images and ditching the ones that erroted. Resizing the whole datasets. Using ffmpeg to extract stills from the gifs and mp3s
I found stable diffusion existed like 5 days into actually training it which was bitter sweet. I mean. No way it would have produced actual porn but I was really looking forward to the horror.
I taught myself as I went along which is a great way to learn but it’s super disheartening when I see the math that’s second nature to anyone whose studied this stuff academically… I don’t like math. In fact I hate it, and no matter how skilled (or not) a coder I become I’ll never learn calculus sometimes makes it all feel like a fools errand.
Reminded of how truly little I know about programming despite the time have spent doing it
Ugh. I’ll never be any good.
Super typical of people like that. The triangulation especially. In psychology I think it’s often used literally but I think a broader definition to include bringing in new people to a situation to try and maintain control and “win” since they’re almost never discussing anything in good faith, makes sense.
It’s one “disease” that’s different from most other mental illnesses. It’s a personality disorder. So, like, it’s not really something you’re afflicted by so much as it is you. It’s a “cluster b” personality disorder.
It’s characterized by an extremely limited sense of identity and a very simplistic black or white way of viewing the world and most things in it. This extends to that sense of identity. So rather than saying “this person must be having a bad day”, it’s “this person is evil. How could they say that to me? I need to teach this person s lesson. Anything I do to them is okay because they’re evil.” Or “yeah normally I’d be miffed about someone running down 8 people in their car on purpose but it’s George and George is my favourite person. He really seemed to enjoy that. I can’t believe I never realize how much I enjoy running down people in my car too”.
They’ll turn on anyone on a dime and hold grudges forever, gaslight you and themselves constantly to support a worldview where emotion trumps fact, and lie about anything and everything which could indicate to someone else that they have flaws, unless those flaws are serving some kind of purpose in whatever conversation they’re having. They tend to be very id-driven, promiscuous, and female. It’s ridiculously common to hear people that have dated with it slept with a person with bpd to say that it’s the best they’ve ever had.
It’s borderline (heheheh) untreatable, with part of the issue being that they’ll lie constantly to therapists. This coupled with the fact that there’s a tendency for them to kill themselves mean even getting diagnosed becoming more and more uncommon and even when there is a diagnosis it’s often pointless.
There’s some evidence of a genetic component and unfortunately many people with BPD suffered abuse as children, sexual and otherwise, so environmental factors play a role as well.
It tends to be comorbid with other more typical psychiatric disorders but isn’t characterized by them.
What kind of mental illness?
It was bpd wasn’t it? I bet it was bpd.
But not sand memory. It’s coars ena drogjh and irritating and gets everywhere.
Are the legends really true?
Wait what?
I run the Patton Oswalt subreddit for some reason. It’s been around for years and has dozens of posts. Dozens.
How do I take advantage of this?
Yeah this dude is an idiot.what the actual fuck is his reasoning here?
