So you didn’t give yourself time to adjust and didn’t like them. That tracks…

They take a month or 2 to get used to, give it time. Your brain sort of morphs itself to make it seem normal after a while. It’s very strange but true.

I personally went for only 2 zones, one which was mainly the strength to use a computer rather than read a book up close (though I can do that in a pinch, but I keep stronger glasses for reading books), and the other for distance. This feels very natural to me now, I can just see what I need to see but it doesn’t feel weird. I would never go for bifocals.

I actually have git aliased to my GitHub repo so this is very hard for me to type.

I dunno, I’ve asked it to do increasingly more complex tasks and it’s obliged. Stuff like take these 10 pages of handwritten tables and ocr them and make a .csv out of them. It’s inventing a whole process to do that. Same with some examples of it programming entire games. You need some procedural thinking to do those things.

Listen, no one should knowingly and willingly put their countries through more pain just to “win”. I’m sure they calculated that the reduction in destruction was worth a try. They have levers to pull if it doesn’t, but it will just create a lot of destruction for all sides.

Thank you, very helpful!

I have the files that I ripped from an online streamer but not a torrent.

Good to know. Thanks.

Judging from their guide there is a bunch of criteria, many which I don’t meet, so I guess I will be seeding freeleeches for a while.

Okay I will start like that. I read the FAQ and it looks like I won’t qualify as an uploader as I’m just short of the upload speeds they need and won’t likely be able to upload many things a month.

Side question, are you constantly managing your ratio or do you think that if I run all my sonarr stuff through the the private tracker and just leave stuff to seed indefinitely that I will be okay?

This is a new frontier my friend, you have to carve your own path!

Yeah the obvious counter to this is AI job applicants who can play the numbers game, say what the hiring AI wants to hear and get hired enough times and long enough to grab some pay checks. This is already happening. Get the bot swarm ready.

Microsoft doesn’t expect growth in their OS offerings. These days all their focus is on AI and cloud.

Well that sucks.

Well okay you’re not wrong, there is always some sucker out there.

Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint.

I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That’s a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.

They can see you’re a person but not exactly who you are.

Well it could be pretty handy for home automation.

I got one threatening letter (they are uncommon where I live in Czechia but they will write you after a while). I got a VPN and no more letters.
