You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

It all was fun! :)

My pricing experience is from Europe so that could be a different approach to their markets.

Good luck!

Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law “didn’t get around” to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

That said: I’m quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage (“we give a quote after first analysis”).

Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that’s not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.

Oh that’s not a fuckup in my book!

You’re already doing what a good moderator separates you one from an average one: engage, explain and adapt!

I appreciate that! And moderating topics like these is frankly nearly impossible as it’s a clash of science and “moral”.

My gist is simple: NSFW is literally: “would you mind a coworker seeing you looking at this?”. After all marking something as NSFW is a form of self censorship: “I recommend you not looking at this at work!”.

From this I deduce two things: a) text should have a higher barrier for NSFW than images. Other people need to actively read what you’re looking at and it’s way harder to claim that text is not workplace appropriate compared to a picture of primary sedual organs. b) What’s actually depicted and said? The Wikipedia page about human reproduction falls at least at my workplace not under NSFW although a penis is clearly depicted.

Now to the OP: it’s an article discussion the struggle of sex workers (well promotion of a book about it but same same). The issue here is that marking articles like these as NSFW perpetuates the core issue of the content discussed: that this is a woman problem that should be talked about in private.

I guess that’s where the majority of downvotes come from as well: “this should not be viewed in the workplace” is a catastrophic signal in this context for the message.

Now to your point of respectdirectly: OP doesn’t disrespect the people who filter out NSFW content because this article should be visible and even discussed in professional contexts if we as human society want to progress. It’s source is a newspaper, it’s content socially relevant and aimed at (provocatively!) educating and it’s topic is sadly very relevant.

All of this is my personal opinion of course but I wanted to leave you with more than just a two word comment!

This is the exact headline of an established newspaper. Wherever you’re allowed to have your phone or for reading at work then this should be just as fine.

Please be consience on what NSFW should be and don’t call for censorship in its name.

Ironically fitting to the article itself.

Black and White was really fun for me as well for a time - it’s basically a god simulation combined with a zoo game as you have to grow your avatar basically.

Loved populous back then, if I recall correctly I even liked two more than one!

I’d expand it to director plus or similar, i.e. for people who lead other people with personell responsibilities it starts making sense to have three rounds imo.

That said I share your gist!

Yeah but that’s - to be clear - bullshit distraction talk. That’s not “people” as in many folks, that’s politicians distracting from the difficult discussions (i.e. Inflation) and trying to rile up people. At least in my social bubble it didn’t work - it was mocked a bit and then forgotten.

As they are closed source no one can tell you their true privacy policy. It seems better than average from what I’ve read but you never know…

Personally I use logseq and sync the files via a Nextcloud instance. I can only recommend it, although I also recommend spending an hour to learn the tagging and linking logic and reading through their guide on what’s possible. I still only leverage a minor part of the potential myself.

One that is closer to onenote (I think, never used onenote) is Joplin.

The link throws me to the “pay for this api” page, most likely not what you intended OP!

Yeah I had a brainfart, meant namespace…

And thanks a lot for this writeup I think with your help I figured out where I went wrong in my train of thought and I’ll give it another try next week when I have a bit downtime.

The time you took to write this is highly appreciated! ♥

Do you have a link at hand on how start a process within a specific veth by chance? Own name spaces are easy enough and a lot of tutorials but I don’t want my programs to ever be not in the vpn space, not at startup not as fail over etc.

That’s the reason why I stuck with the container setup, only for gluetun plus vpned services.

I have to fullheartily disagree! From my point of view this is an exciting dystopia - the same way Russian roulette is “exciting”.

I wouldn’t have thought that we as species speedrun the shadowrun tech dystopia in addition to the expected corporate oligarchy one - on not, not instead!

This feels like doing 200mph on a highway and someone telling me that they now can - and in fact started to - alter my breaks on the fly. “boring” just doesn’t cut it anymore for me.

This comment is so wild to my non US eyes. I had to convert the sqft you gave because I missremembered. Friends of mine are family with two kids and live in a bit more than half that space (80m2) - and are not the exception from what I know.

To see 130m2 “too small for the family” is really weird and I’d love to see/understand where the differences come from. I guess that even how the space is calculated might have an impact. Really fascinating!

Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know why you think that this is projection on the OPs part.

Personally I don’t find that “suspense” part that you describe. I fully agree that she has a highly successful career and fan base - doesn’t mean her humor is for everyone.

Personally I’m curious to see the series and I find her way less annoying than some of the past people which were highly popular (Cooper and Stirling for me personally).

I’m more curious than worried - and could fully understand that someone expressed “oh there’s this comedian I don’t enjoy, too bad. Oh is that something I shouldn’t say about this person specifically?”.

Too bad that some of those are quite certainly made up. At least for the Voltaire one I even have a very in depth source:

Doesn’t take away the fun for me though - thank you for the collection!

Oh I completely agree, sorry if that wasn’t clear enough! Consciousness is so arbitrary that I find it not useful as a concept: one can define it whatever purpose it’s supposed to serve. That’s what I tried to describe with the skynet thingy: it doesn’t matter for the end result if I call it conciense or not. The question is how I personally alter my behavior (i.e. I say “please” and “thanks” even though I am aware that in theory this will not “improve” performance of an LLM - I do that because if I interact with anyone or - thing in a natural language I want to keep my natural manners).

That is not how these LLM work though - it generates responses literally token for token (think “word for word”) based on the context before.

I can still write prompts where the answer sounds emotional because that’s what the reference data sounded like. Doesn’t mean there is anything like consciousness in there… That’s why it’s so hard: we’ve defined consciousness (with self awareness) in a way that is hard to test. Most books have these parts where the reader is touched e emotionally by a character after all.

It’s still purely a chat bot - but a damn good one. The conclusion: we can’t evaluate language models purely based on what they write.

So how do we determine consciousness then? That’s the impossible task: don’t use only words for an object that is only words.

Personally I don’t think the difference matters all that much to be honest. To dive into fiction: in terminator, skynet could be described as conscious as well as obeying an order like: “prevent all future wars”.

We as a species never used consciousness (ravens, dolphins?) to alter our behavior.
