I have a separate modem from my WiFi, but I’d sell you mine that’s a couple of years old for $50 because I just upgraded to fiber a few months ago and it’s just sitting in my network corner. But if you want one with integrated WiFi, this isn’t.
I asked ChatGPT for a tldr because same. The result reads like ad copy. Idk, man.
The memory packaging market is evolving with advancements like flip-chip, wire-bond, and through-silicon via (TSV) technologies. These innovations enable smaller, more powerful, and faster devices, particularly in smartphones, where efficient space use is crucial for sleek designs. DRAM, while still used in PCs, faces declining adoption due to its complexity and the rise of alternatives like 3D TSV, which offer better functionality. The APAC region, especially China, is leading the growth in memory packaging, driven by investments in assembly infrastructure and rising demand for mobile applications using system-in-package (SiP) technologies.
Such a great show. Humans were rarely the most interesting people. I wish there could’ve been a much better remastering than what we got, but it’s still worth watching. The way everything slowly accelerates through the end of season 4, by which the pace is breathtaking. You can’t take time to do that any more with streaming shows.
It depends a lot on what you’re looking for. Iconic bands? Probably Neil Young with Crazy Horse or Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Best production was probably Trans Siberian Orchestra.
The Moody Blues were damn fun to watch. They were pretty old by the time I saw them, but they sure looked like they were having fun. It was infectious.
Finally got a job after almost 5 months of being without. Tens of thousands of financial damage to repair, but I can finally get started. My whole retirement is wiped out at fifty. Probably some ugly tax implications. But we’ll make it.
If you just want to commiserate:
I’m starting the day with a double Bloody Mary. The only thing I have on my schedule is replacing a toilet and my back is trash and I’m just not sure I can do it today and I’m scared to start. Been out of work for 5 months and between applications and interviews it’s about the only thing that keeps me from thinking about my world burning down around me. My only solo hobbies are video games and woodworking (badly), and there are no games I want to play right now and standing on cement working with my tools will wreck my back further.
But the worst thing is besides my wife and teens, I don’t have anyone to hang out with or talk to. If I did I would probably not be drinking. I don’t actually enjoy being drunk all that much. I don’t have a problem yet, but if this keeps up I probably will.
Anyway, enough of that shit. If it helps, share what’s going on. I’ll listen. Beats thinking about what a shit show my own life is.
She knows not to trust it. If the AI had suggested “God did it” or metaphysical bullshit I’d reevaluate. But I’m not sure how to even describe that to a Google search. Sending a picture and asking about it is really fucking easy. Important answers aren’t easy.
I mean I agree with you. It’s bullshit and untrustworthy. We have conversations about this. We have lots of conversations about it actually, because I caught her cheating at school using it so there’s a lot of supervision and talk about appropriate uses and not. And how we can inadvertently bias it by the questions we ask. It’s actually a great tool for learning skepticism.
But some things, a reasonable answer just to satisfy your brain is fine whether it’s right or not. I remember in chemistry I spent an entire year learning absolute bullshit about chemistry only for the next year to be told that was all garbage and here’s how it really works. It’s fine.
I don’t buy into it, but it’s so quick and easy to get an answer, if it’s not something important I’m guilty of using LLM and calling it good enough.
There are no ads and no SEO. Yeah, it might very well be bullshit, but most Google results are also bullshit, depending on subject. If it doesn’t matter, and it isn’t easy to know if I’m getting bullshit from a website, LLM is good enough.
I took a picture of discolorations on a sidewalk and asked ChatGPT what was causing them because my daughter was curious. Metal left on the surface rusts and leaves behind those streaks. But they all had holes in the middle so we decided there were metallic rocks missed into the surface that had rusted away.
Is that for sure right? I don’t know. I don’t really care. My daughter was happy with an answer and I’ve already warned her it could be bullshit. But curiosity was satisfied.
Fuck all that noise. Give me more Baldur’s Gate. I’m the biggest Star Wars fan and I haven’t bought a game since KotOR other than Survivor and the sequel. Because every time one catches my interest they start talking about all the cool DLC or things that are locked behind months or years of progression. I just won’t.
I’ve visited NY and Chicago, but I guess my digs were nice enough not to notice. And I used to live 75 minutes (assuming no traffic lol) from DC—far enough away that I didn’t have to deal with that kind of thing. Just like maybe some highway noise from far away.
I did once have a townhouse that had a rail track in the back yard, but I know what I was getting in that case. It was only noisy when there was a train.
I don’t think I’d want to live anywhere it is necessary to worry about sounds reduction levels. Wow.
Where are they even evacuating to? Just the next target for bombing.
Probably any of: GI Joe, Transformers, and/or He-Man.
But I had to wake up at 6 fucking AM to watch Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors for some fucking reason.
Losing an expensive - in terms of lives and money - and pointless war is devastating domestically. Will anything really change? I don’t know, but there’s going to be a reaction.
Maybe. But they can’t just cede all the initiative to Russia, either.
An analysis I watched suggests that by occupying Russian territory, they force Russia to either let them dig in long term or stay on the offensive to try to push them out just when Russia would be slowing their summer offensive. Ukraine is fighting a defensive war of attrition and their strategy is to force Russia to keep attacking while Ukraine has a defensive advantage.
Now, this shit is way above my pay grade, but that analysis explains why this could be a smart move. So it sounds like there is reason to be cautiously optimistic.
I have a very feminist outlook on things, but I enjoy some problematic things. I know it’s not very progressive of me, but it is what it is. I acknowledge they are problematic.
Which is just to say, I don’t like this. I understand, but I’m not a fan.
That’s hilarious. I love LLM, but it’s a tool not a product and everyone trying to make it a standalone thing is going to be sorely disappointed.
Me and some old guildies have kept in touch off and on over the years. Every once in a while I’d buy a wow expansion and do a couple of dungeons. We were really looking forward to making Diablo 4 our new hang out.
We played like hell all through the beta. Then like twice in live. Then we all kinda decided it sucked. I think my good friend’s daughter is graduating soon. Or possibly already did. I can’t remember how much older than my own kids she was. I can remember when she was born.
He’s still like a brother to me, but we’ve got fuck all in common any more and we can’t keep talking about glory days that were damn near 20 years ago.
