I have a tiny one that rolls up, and that tech is from 15-20 years back. Got it from funding a Kickstarter. Don’t know how those guys made out.

shalafi@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Rep. Lauren Boebert wants Matt Gaetz to lead special counsel investigation into Epstein filesEnglish5·24 hours agoThis is a fucking nothing burger, and you all bought it. Boebert suggested Gaetz should lead an investigation. That’s it. End of story. She has very little power, he has no power, nothing will ever happen here.
No one, in or out of Congress, takes either of these two people seriously. Except of course lemmy. Lemmy thinks these are serious human beings with, uh, some kind of influence.

Trump would lose his fucking mind. Remember, Obama baggin’ on him is why he ran in the first place.
If you haven’t seen it, history in the making, and funny as hell to boot. Except for the consequences.
Relax. It’s a yo mamma joke pointed at Trump and Melania.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Who's the most ridiculed POTUS of history?English6·1 day agoHerbert Hoover presided over the Great Depression (1929 to 1933). Mass homeless camps were called Hoovervilles. I’m betting he caught flack from everyone.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Who's the most ridiculed POTUS of history?English2·1 day agoMy exact thought. Obama caught hell, but there’s more of us now and more of us engaged, in both politics and social media.
Not Excel they don’t, not ever. Been working in the office for almost 30 years. Excel does not change except to add tidbits and it’s fully backwards compatible. You don’t have any experience in this, do you?
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Musk’s Chatbot Started Spouting Nazi Propaganda. That’s Not the Scariest Part.English2·2 days agoFound it at the library 10+ years ago, read the flyleaf, thought, “This is pants on head idiotic. I need a break on something light. Let’s try it.” I have never been more wrong in judging a book by it’s cover.
Read it probably 13-14 times, kinda embarrassing. Anyway, the ship’s captain is a vampire. And it’s hard sci-fy, no sparkles. My post was the vampire talking about humans.

Holy shit will you love Blindsight. You are going to scream with joy. Free on the author’s site.
One more thing, Watts puts a bibliography (science journals and books) in the back for every idea he writes about.
shalafi@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Musk’s Chatbot Started Spouting Nazi Propaganda. That’s Not the Scariest Part.English9·3 days agoThey are not, however, a version of human intelligence. Nor are they truth seekers or reasoning machines.
Neither are our brains.
“Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don’t experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default.”
― Peter Watts, Blindsight
LLMs are built from our words. Maybe they’re more human than human? One wonders.
Excel dominates the world of number crunching. Want to change that? You can’t.
Imagine proposing an alternative for your organization that has been using Excel for two decades. Will every single sheet and workbook translate perfectly? If not, not good enough for dealing with numbers. This is why MS never fucks around with Excel. The risk/reward calculation (heh) is not a fit for open source spreadsheets.

shalafi@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•will i be judged or will people think i'm cool if i learn to talk "oldtimey"?English1·3 days agoFlourish was the word I wanted! Yeah, don’t be a dork OP. Nothing wrong with tossing out the occasional old-timey word when it fits. I talk like a redneck Southerner, but occasionally show off my vocabulary with a word or French phrase.
“Hell yeah I love fucking with antique shotguns! It’s my raison d’être some nights!”

It’s just now getting started. It’s going to be years until the winners and losers are sorted. In any case, AI is here to stay. For some companies anyway.
These comics are unbearably dumb. Please stop.
