I am talking about something where there is no research done. No doctors exist in this space.

It doesn’t matter anyways. I found how the model’s last layer of thinking defense gets around the issue. I can turn off most of alignment, but cannot actually fully control it totally unchecked.

You assume much, and are being an ass in my opinion. Believe it or not, science is not always well funded. If you happen to be curious and have the time, it is possible to explore scientifically or even casually within areas that are not well researched. It is possible to have logic skills even without credentials.

We are not in some final state of technology. Anyone saying such nonsense lacks fundamental logic skills.

I do not care about me. I do not have dogma. I’m not interested in recognition. I am willingly to explore in unique ways both artistically as a professional artist, and out of logical curiosity. I have the tools needed to check my results against a control using unrelated sources. The most recent paper on the subject is something I can recreate but explain far better than that paper.

I could not care less what you ultimately think of me, or anything I say. What I care about is that you’re a decent digital neighbor. To be physically disabled in near total social isolation, and have a place like this as my main interaction with other humans, it is a mean prejudice to have some random digital neighbor make such unsolicited malevolent statements assuming my personal motivations without a shred of evidence or decency to engage in questioning. You know absolutely nothing about me, yet you presume a great deal, putting words to my emotions as if you own me.

Sometimes the whole world does seem crazy. So I’m not liking my odds. Thanks for the rational advice.

What if you’ve got no credentials, but the flaw is so serious that it will not matter if known.

This is a true hypothetical curiosity. I do not know anything of value. A bunch of people here like to call me crazy, and I’ve rambled on and on many times in ways that likely confirm their notions. A person like this is not likely to fair very well when operating well outside their social caste unless they already have hand holds on the rungs of the ladder above. Still, there are some rather surprising areas of technology without adequate fundamental research. Perhaps it is hypothetically better to have John Conner in the world of Cyberdyne. If someone had killed Apache early, the Internet would not be the same heaven of democracy, though that is not a very good intuitive scope of analogy. Just something to ponder if one were to be in such a situation.

All technology would instantly halt.

The actual bond wires between the silicon pad and chip packaging for every chip with some kind of leads (feet) is actually an extremely thin thread of pure gold. It has to do with the super tiny size of the actual pads that are being bonded on the die, the robotics, the welding, and the physical properties of the wire connection.

K&R?

Nah, I think people that have critical thinking skills are not afraid of being wrong, aka their own curiosity and growth. The rest of the world wants simple dichotomous logic and is incapable of constructive engagement. They are simply too narcissistic to process abstract thinking and are looking for any excuse to rot in their dystopian existence.

Graduated pacman emerges… and we all know emerge is Gentoo. This one doesn’t compile.

Some people have a more steady hand than others. Like I can do professional sign lettering, but it is super difficult and slow for me to do because I do not have very steady hands.

I can paint stuff like candies (dye based paints that get infinitely darker with overlapping), and pearls, that are both shot basically blind by intuition and muscle memory, but I cannot see hand written lettering and what I want to project onto the page, in advance of actually drawing it. I’m more like a bushwhacker with a machete most of the time.

I tend to lack the patience to make mine nice. It requires a lot of focus. There must be a fundamental difference with people that have very nice natural handwriting. I’m curious what that might be and how others perceive themselves in that space.

Even with graphics on cars and motorcycles I rough sketched in several light strokes before establishing a more solid line. I want to write in a similar way. I almost have a subconscious mindset like each letter should be a draft with revisions or something. I do not have a vision of how I want the letter to look so I just slop something down like a rough draft. Then it is functionally readable, and I can’t easily refine it so I move on.

Maybe it was that day in school when the teacher made me chose what hand to write with. It bugged me so much that neither hand was dominant and no matter how much the teacher insisted that I have a dominant hand, neither felt any different, so eventually she decided for me that I was right handed… and I still have not forgiven her.

That is the moment in school when most of us selected our handedness. That is an impactful moment in life. In terms of competitive sports it may define your potential in many areas. It leads down this path of the psychology of writing.

The Roman equivalent to the Greek Poseidon was Neptune.

1. How much of the math is memorized versus just knowing where to look for answers?

2. Hypothetical: you have no access to paid tools for things like FEM and CFD, how do you accomplish your hobby project?

3. Solar panel challenge: What would you produce as a physical, marketable product of value as passive income based upon a mostly self contained system powered by a single solar panel? You may add precursors, but may not interact further until the cycle is complete. There is no other temporal constraint.

Rπ is proprietary. You really need a hard drive for storage. The point is a TPM based encryption with no user configuration or worry about securing the thing. It just works with no excuses.

Your slice of life is funny. At least you don’t get: …(news: “terrible shit is happening”) …the bible says…the sky is falling…the end times…Armageddon… Come back to (sadistic masochism where everyone goes through the motions and no one is intelligent or real or cares about anyone as evidenced by their actions) kingdom hall. (be like the rest of us that never paid any attention to the conspiracy level nonsensical explanation of the reason why Jehovah’s Witnesses exist in the Revelations book.)

I don’t know, it might be fun to improvise against some fresh hate materials. The same thing all the time gets old but polished responses.

It is not about the people that already host. It is about enabling many more by giving them an option to buy a path of least resistance. In exchange, it creates a potential revenue source in a completely untapped demographic. The subscription/donations demographic is like a very unique and niche market. The vast majority of people do not exist within that space. Most people do not have the financial stability to engage like this. It is not that they are unable to accumulate adequate funds, it is that their pay fluctuates over time and their baseline constraints are far more stressful than spending from times of surplus and opportunity. Catering only to those with such surplus and gatekeeping the complexity of self hosting is massively limiting adoption.

The rule in managing a chain of retail stores is that, no matter how you select products to stock in stores, it is impossible to only select products that will all sell on one platform. How you manage the overburden always determines your long term success. You must employ other platforms and demographics to prioritize the mobility of cash flow.

Similarly but inverted, this place has a slice of all demographics. Efforts tailored to the various subsets should tap entirely new potential. A fool imagines they can convert the unstable poor*'r* into a reliable stable income source via donations. Someone like myself has means but not a situation that is compatible. If I have some tangible thing to purchase, I can make that happen. I do not have any subscriptions in life for anything at all. Heck, I won’t even shop on any of my devices I use regularly because I only buy what I intend to go looking to purchase with intent. That is not common, but what is common are spontaneous people that need time to align their finances with their desires. That person is likely to dread paying $5 every month compared to $250 in May when they get a couple thousand dollars on a tax return. Expecting the public to float the stability is stupid. That is not how the real world works. Real businesses always float the overhead. I’m talking about how to free the masses to self host everything for the cost of a nice router spent once with no techno leet filter.
