The levener is baking powder and baking soda. Rhese are cheap ingredients a container of each can last years.

Those mixes are easy to replicate. If the mix changing prevents them from making it from scratch they were never a baker. Anymore than making me making a Mac and cheeses makes me a chef because I added some sliced cheddar.

These mixes were created for convenience. They did mot create the concepts behind the end product. They are made with magical difficult to source ingredients.

My first thought is why are people using these box mixes, the ingredients are trivial. There are recipes online that have the ingredients.

The base ingredients for many things are flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. – these are not expensive and are shelf stable. A chocolate cake mix adds cocoa powder. Some need vanilla.

The mix already requires adding rggs and oil.

Mixing it yourself allows way better quality control; they aren’t using high quality cocoa or vanilla.

I have a recipe that’s cans cream of mushroom, with equal parts rice and milk. The can size does not matter because it is about the ratio.

It’s insane how these companies’ policies have become more strict after Covid. Leave it to CEOs to always managed to learn the wrong lesson.

Changing your mind is fine. But you can never pretend you didn’t change your mind. Someone who yo-yos around some

Y points are your personal value for data you’ve generated. No one earns from gossiping other people Y points, the person whose generated the data point is the one who always gets paid. If no one cares about the X then the Y has no real value. I may put Xs I don’t want anyone to know at insanely high Y values.

I’m not sure what mechanism would causes a dictatorship, I’m interested in how you think it could be exploited.

I haven’t given all the details. The idea is very complex compared to what we do today but at the same time. But the complexity is in the translation not the based mathematical concepts.

For example, you get no value from reselling my X, I get the Ys. What you can do is use many Xs to generate a new X1 you value at Y1. All those Xs are part of the new X1 and that’s where lies get really expensive because I’ll become financially responsible for healing those X1s you shared, if my real value causes X1 to change. These are a series of very basic math formulas that are itself not very complex. The complex is all the inputs and outputs. The system is only possible by using computers because these are massive but trivial given what these LLMs are doing.

I started these thoughts about two decades ago as part of a world building idea of a future where this is already in place. The technological development that has occurred since then makes me think the system could actually be built today via some combination of etherum like contracts and variants of LLMs.

The whole thing feeds right back into itself but it is just us and it is just an every expanding representation of society and our cumulative knowledge.

Every truth is traceable back to recorded physical data and every falsehood literally does not fit because the physical data does not exist.

The only reason it doesn’t exist because it has no capitalist value. If someone is sitting in the middle collecting fractions of Ys for ever interaction, that is not this system. If someone is able to say, I own X because I discovered the mechanism first and no one else can sell X even if they collect all the data points need to make X, that is not the system.

Y must always be less than the cost of generating a new X because someone else will come and undercut you. The real value is in the human experience.

I have a thought experiment on this that I am developing. It’s still to complicated to properly convey but it’s basically an immutable set of axioms upon which we can individually build our personal social contract.

From the axioms we declare addendums, every addendum id public and is opt in at that personal level. Everyone’s adopted addendums are public so we can choose who to associate with based on shared addendums.

Create these as mathematical proofs that are essentially contracts that have predetermined but immediately executable penalties when the person fails to adhere to their addendums. The penalty is paid out directly to the damaged parties.

For example I say X is true backed by Y value, if it can be determined X is false anyone that I promised X to is owed Y. If I overextend and cannot pay, others will know I am untrustworthy and unable back up future claims.

If you took X and passed it off as true, I would also be responsible for resolving that value.

People will quickly learn not to make up bullshit and keep their word. Society will quickly learn what Y values are appropriate for given assertions.

What exactly are those thoughts?

Sounds like the formation of logic error.

I just don’t even know what to say to you. Do you understand that you are being the shithead?

Going to chime in here to say you’re definitely the shithead here.

Are you’re one of the people that came to the fediverse because your Reddit account was banned?

I assume this term is more popular in regions that do not experience snow so their material is muddy fields and the chunks that are kicked up are turd shaped. I expected it to be a higher percentage.

This is exactly what someone would have said about Hitler if he had been murdered before he took before power.

The truth is naked most of the time. Only puts pants on for pressers because American’s are too prudish to handle the naked truth.

Don’t tease me.

Reduce gin deaths by having “more fathers in the home” – so true, if he was at home with his kids instead of parading around being an asshole they would be one less gun death.

Guy’s a fucking prophet but failed to follow his own advice

This is one of those cases where if I’m saying an hour I mean and hour and will proactively reach out as soon as I realize that hour is wrong.

I get this is meant as a joke about how difficult is it to estimate things, but this isn’t on anyone but me and making sure I am communicating my progress. Anyone who has the title of senior developer and disagrees is senior in name only.

And I post this as there is literally a production issue being discussed because procrastination is always part of my estimates. The troubleshooting revealed it’s not my bug, it’s on that other team’s so I get to wait for them to fix their data and confirm my teams stuff works once the data is correct or I get to fix it live; my favorite but exceedingly rare.

The adrenaline of that is awesome and I question the career choice of anyone who dreads this stuff.

Reminds me of the idiom, “things have to get worse before they’ll get better” – one could say these people are suffering from an addiction to right wing ideology and from the perspective empathy is the wrong choice until they choose and remain on the path to face and overcome their addiction.

I think that’s analogy can make the line clear for those who suggest we do anything that would enable working class republican’s political behavior.

Feels like that would strengthen the message.

Some of the code is literally open sourced and available in public repositories. The rest requires one be a security researcher.

The comfort is in choosing android because they are both the same. This is a decision based on emotion rather than logic.

I’m going to hastily dissect the situation and how I’ve come to this conclusion. Mostly for my own sake. I do not expect you to accept any of what I am going to say.

The comfort I am describing is starts by first observing the location of this discussion, an Apple enthusiast group.

Further observation indicates a persistent attack posture towards the ideals of the group.

This being an enthusatist geoup, it’s unlikely you’ll convince anyone here. You also aren’t suggesting an alternative.

When your assertions are challenged you shift and twist rather than addresssing the challenges indicating you are not not interested in understanding or engaging with the group in fruitful discussion.

At this point it is safe to assume your chosen platform is Android.

Android exfiltrates data, you and are I not arguing otherwise.

Your claim is you want to control your data but your chosen platform does not reflect this. This indicates your decision is not based on logic.

Because you are not engaging with this group to expand your understanding of why others choose Apple not to offer alternatives but instead to question other’s decisions. From this one can presume this is for personal validation.

A person does not need to internally validate their logical decisions. The logic is self validating.

People do need to validate their emotional decisions. All indication is that this is why you are in this thread; emotional validation.

You seek comfort in your choice to be in your own words, “spied on and manipulated.” in the face of alternatives.

At no point was this discussion about anything more than your desire for emotional validation. This group’s very existence invalidated your emotions and comelled a response.

I thank you for helping with deepening thoughts I’ve been developing I bid you a good day.

They and only they can solve this problem by impeaching Trump.

They won’t because they’d rather play the victim than admit because the congestive load of accepting they are the victimizers would cause them to increment our nation’s climbing suicide rate.

Their code isn’t closed.

Their devices are locked tight for security reasons. You can’t have it both ways on that one.

Your rebuttal is basically, nuh-on.

Threads like this remind me of the Asimov quote, that describes such rebuttals as, “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Anti-intellectualism is believing how the world works rather than bothering with a always expanding working theory as to how the world truely works.

A lazy approach that bathes one in false comfort by confirming all their biases.

A world view that cumulates into an air of superiority that is paper thin.

Yes. Meant didn’t change.

I’m not certain how I feel about it, but I’m pretty sure I hate it.

As an Apple hardware user, I am very disappointed.

From my investor perspective, I’m ambivalent. I understand the weight of the fiduciary responsibility and I will still continue to vote for Cooks removable mainly for other reasons. One of those reasons is how these presentations have shifted to being a long commercial rather than a truly live event. Tim doesn’t get it. He only understands supply chains. He is mediocre at best with everything else, terrible for many things.

I don’t work for Apple but their choice to force engineers to come into the office is one of those terrible decisions. They were literally more flexibility prior to covid. Engineers do not collaborate in person, especially when forced.

Hiss…we hates it, we does! Filthy nasty people. We hates it very much. Gollum, gollum.
