In the late 80’s the Simpsons ran 22 minute episodes which I think was normal. That would be 16 minutes of ads an hour.

I don’t disagree with you but most of the energy that people complain about AI using is used to train the models, not use them. Once they are trained it is fast to get what you need out of it, but making the next version takes a long time.

I would look into Tailscale based on your responses here. I don’t know what your use case is exactly but you set TS up on your server and then again on your phone/laptop and you can connect them through the vpn directly. No extra exposed ports or making a domain or whatnot.

If you want other people to access the server they will need to make a TS account and you can authorize them.

I did this with all the stupid moth memes. I want to see less of this so I downvoted them all. (Along with blocking a few communities)

If Fred Meyer and QFC (Kroger’s regional brands) are going to stay open, what does this strike mean? Just picketers outside the stores?

This is it. I remember 15 to 20 years ago there were people who were GOOD at using Google and people who were bad at it. The difference was knowing what the search engine was good at and how to ask it the right questions.

People who just went in blindly and clicked on the first link didn’t get what they needed out of it. Did that make it a bad tool? Probably not.

Using a LLM wrong is just as bad as using the wrong size wrench. Would a giant crescent wrench get a tiny nut off a bolt? Probably, but it would make more sense to use the right size one in the first place.

Ugh I HATE that phrase. I’m American and any time someone says that to me I just want to reply “no, I just think you are ignorant” but I know that would just get me punched.

Very close! Mine was the Apple II plus. I remember using that before I could read. I memorized how to spell catalog which did a directory listing. I eventually learned some Apple basic on it as well.

I don’t know. All I know is they are famous for their cheese so I figured if someone came in saying “Oregon makes better cheese” they would be miffed.
