Oh, I get it! You still want 2fa, you just don’t want the code to be shown! colors the text white

I did this many, many times during my struggles with non-24 sleep disorder. I would repeatedly stay up all night in the hopes that I would be tired enough to go to sleep at a reasonable time the next day.

Typically, one of two things would happen: either I successfully go to sleep at a somewhat early hour and then sleep for a few hours before waking up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, or I would feel tired in the early evening but try to hold on until I get to a normal bedtime and by that point I was no longer tired and I’d stay up late again even after being awake well over 24 hours.

Ultimately, my solution was to work on my own projects for a year or so (not something most people can afford to do). I ignored all requirements around sleeping and just slept when my body told me to. I kept windows uncovered and gradually, the sunlight started waking me up at a proper morning hour. For the first time in my adult life, I have a normal sleeping schedule and confidence I can be at my job on time. YMMV, but getting natural sunlight at the same time each day is huge as a circadian rhythm reset.

Most spiders are indeed afraid of other spiders, checkmate theists.

My cat knows about nuclear war. He simply hasn’t chosen to exercise the knowledge.

Ah, they seem to communicate by vomiting and bleeding from their skin. Interesting…

Yep, the problem would be worse because he would be a martyr and out of the news enough that his crimes would fade away into history. And a different fascist would lead that group. At least this way, there is some chance a few more people will finally understand he is a lying thieving scumbag pedophile rapist with no intention of ever helping anyone other than himself.

You had me at Furbies. Oh wait, I can’t read.

In my opinion, being anti-AI or anti-LLM is much like being anti-chocolate. There are many good reasons to be anti-chocolate. It is very difficult to verify that a chocolate supply line does not include slave labor or child labor. I only know of one brand that even comes close. And the deforestation caused by farming can and does lead to climate change. Not to mention the addictive qualities and health effects of eating sugary candy.

It seems mostly bad and when you look at the numbers, I think we should all be against it. And yet, making these arguments tends to do very little to make people stop eating chocolate.

Yet, I could imagine a world where it’s farmed sustainably, by people who are paid appropriately, and with proper guidance on nutrition and exercise, it could be consumed safely.

I have no problem with people saying they are anti-AI. But I’d just like to pause here to confirm whether maybe anti-AI is just our shorthand for anti-the-way-AI-is-right-now. Anti-the-companies-that-run-AI. I do not want noisy server farms taking up all the water of rural communities. I don’t want all of our electricity to go towards LLMs that are already “intelligent” enough to tell us that the best most immediate way to prevent further climate change is to turn them off.

I’m not making this comment to promote one side or another. I’m just suggesting that we act strategically and try to be mindful about how polarization can appear from the outside. Being anti-AI likely persuades about as many people as being anti-chocolate. That is, very few. But if we could work towards more ethical AI, even if we don’t plan to use it, just so our argument is more palatable to the masses, it could lower the use of AI overall.

So, I think it is worthwhile to get into the technical details of things like LLMs even if most of us here are fighting against such technologies. Just trying to add some nuance to a world that often feels way too polarized for me.

But if they evolved to be right triangles with their sides marked by three dots, four dots, and five dots, then the message will be spot on.

Fog corn leg corn!

K8s is better anyway, at least if you have the hardware for it. It’s just slightly more complex to set up, but it sounds like you may already be over that hurdle.

If you want a new technology to have to resist dropping everything to play with, may I suggest CUE? Stands for Configure, Unify, Execute. If you’re not familiar, it’s a json superset that turns json-style data into networks of programmed relationships. Like if you want to send the same deployment to three different clusters, which have differently configured CD components, and (for example) you want to vary the databases or message queues you use based on the core microservice or what else has been deployed in the cluster, you can build out these relationships in CUE and merge them with another .cue module that defines how to render files for each destination cluster, automatically producing all yaml manifests that you would otherwise have to write by hand.

But absolutely, do what you were going to get done today. It’s not a cool technology at all, there’s really no need to keep thinking about it.

Oh I get it now, the other k8s cluster IS the therapist. That’s funny. And not at all an accurate description of my life. Anyway, I have a cronjob—I mean appointment—to get to.

I really do love it. But to be fair, I should probably also be in therapy.

K3s is a Rancher-based lightweight Kubernetes, more geared toward deploying on resource-constrained environments like ARM devices.

A tragedy on another scale.

Yes, provided you wait a few thousand years.

There once was a man who had feet

There was not too much else he could eat

He had a long look at his arm

Thought with this I could farm

And that is why we have wheat

Now that’s an inconvenient truth.

Have you seen it again since? If not, you could watch it again and give us ratings for how good it is with dialogue, versus without? Would be neat if they accidentally made a silent movie that’s better than the version with full audio. But I think as a control, you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it. She’ll understand, it’s for science.
