  • Okay, but in that situation we don’t say that the market has punished that business. They should be hurt worse than they could any other way, so there isn’t a possibility that they profit in net, or have a loss equivalent with legitimate business practices. Otherwise, there is no real deterrent to the behavior.







  • I had a mental breakdown a while ago because I was in denial of my gender identity. I…can’t remember much of it, but it wasn’t great, according to my loved ones. I’m ashamed of it and I wish I could do anything that I felt would properly apologize to them but I’m sure it traumatized many of them, as I’ve done in the past. Before I blacked out, I can remember that mandalas would appear on surfaces my mind wanted me to focus on, twisting and seething with an entrancing psychedelic energy that forced me to focus on that task. I’ve never experienced terror more complete than losing control of both my body and mind, and I’ve almost been trampled in a human stampede, blocking people from trampling others and picking up fallen children off the ground. Life is better now that I have estrogen in my system, but I imagine it would be intolerable otherwise. I hope I can forgive myself one day. I have therapy soon, so that will help a lot.


  • I see it this way: If you want a mathematically “unique” idea, it should be “perpendicular” to the rest of your thinking. If things contradict, they “intersect”. An LLM CAN do such a thing, but it needs the appropriate context to achieve true perpendicularity to all dimensions. The space of problems the LLMs know how to solve is much smaller than the space we’ve utilized. Their problem solving space is only increasing. We need to socialize these machines now, imo. They are nascent but very dangerous. I think we’re lucky they’re mostly being used to farm content.








  • I work at a sex store. Was showing guy products. Asked if he could fuck me. When I say no, asks if he can suck my dick. I’m a trans woman and I get a lot of this sort of thing.

    I also had a customer grab my breast after I checked him out at the gas station I worked at.

    Maybe it was the time a lady asked me to put in gloves to handle her change, or the time after that when the same lady dropped change on the ground next to her car and ordered me to pick it up for her (this would require me to walk in front of her vehicle).

    Maybe it was the time a woman my age walked up to me and asked if I was “one of those transgenders” and when I said yes she asked if I was “one of the angry ones”.

    Idk

    Everything sucks


  • I’m kinda weird for this one. I started with arch a long time ago, and ended up distrohopping because I borked my install. Everything else had problems for me eventually, including Ubuntu and Debian. At this stage, if you can figure out iwctl you’re good to go. This enables me to have a system up and running quickly in which I feel I have no restrictions on my abilities as a developer.

    archinstall will do proprietary drivers for you, works great for me.
