Older 10th gen Intel NUCs go for cheap on eBay, with memory and storage – close in price to a Raspberry Pi 5, but more powerful, active cooling without having to buy a kit, and may have greater longevity. An alternative to a Pi if you’re looking for one.

Holy hell

This comment is underrated.

Make the internet ‘net’ again.

This is an outstanding artcle.

Am I hesitant to go to the Actual Hacker News Thread ™ due to the nature of the article? Yes.

Will I go, anyway, with a bucket of popcorn later tonight? Also yes.

I would suggest that counselors / therpists, in fact, have backgrounds – educational and experiential – that support the ‘slick-talking BS’ you suggest, but that it is only slicktalking BS if you aren’t willing to consider the benefit you get from relating to them in the way they were trained to relate.

This is important because the ‘relating’ is what has an impact more on you socially than the ‘slicktalk.’ It’s the ‘human-to-human’ part that sticks to us longer than self-help books, prompts us to be open and considerate for change, and even supports our eventual ability for understanding ourselves a little better.

There is no ‘relating’ to an LLM. That LLM is weighted, in fact, to provide positive responses that meet the requesting of your text-based prompt.

If, in an LLM therapy session, I suddenly flip the script and write, ‘Now pretend you are a far less confrontational therpaist who understands my feelings on X or Y that we’ve been talking about, and who doesn’t want to press me on it as much,’ then I am no longer even superficially attempting ‘relate.’ The cosplay of therapy is ripped away.

The ‘relationship’ part of therapy cannot happen authentically with an LLM if I can still control the outcome.

It’s only irradiated gold if it comes from the Radioactive Startup Part of San Fransisco.

Otherwise, it’s just sparkling rock.

There’s a psychic in the movie that tells Peewee that the bicycle he lost is in the basement of the Alamo – the joke being that this is one of many instances where Peewee’s naivety gets the better of him, sending him off in another odd direction. The plot continually plays off his innocence.

Nowadays, visitors to the Alamo reference the question on tours as a running joke.

Here’s the post so you don’t have to hop into the article

I own this hat and it is everything I hoped it would be

OP is hittin’ us with the moth-related content we crave (and deserve)

It’s all computer

Based on how much the institutions of the US will continue to uphold, I think we’ll see the impact in 10 years or more. Hopefully, though – granted, hope isn’t an operational term, just an ideal – there will be some measure of course correction within that decade.

Last I recall, friendica was the most solid alternative. It is a fairly feature-complete analogue of Facebook and a few other social platforms. Maybe give it a look!

What a fantastic shot!

They got them golden handcuffs

Ah, suck face, get sad
