Fish is not a real classification.

This is intentional.

Companies don’t want you fixing things, so they both make them hard to fix and then refuse to supply spare parts, unless they are forced to. In which case they make it as difficult as possible.

Perfect answer.

Worth the weight

Your feelings are valid!

It sounds like there was no betrayal or hostility involved, just two people who grew apart.

Because you’re a good citizen you didn’t start looking around before telling your partner things were over.

And it’s springtime, so certain… feelings are more prominent.

You can also just meet her where she is. The big strength of polyamory is that you don’t need one partner who can fulfil all your needs.

What you have with Sylvia might be referred to as a “comet relationship”. They come around once every now and then, burns hot and bright for a short time and then they leave for a while.

It’s not bad or good, it just is.

I don’t think AGI is fake, conceptually. Humans are just meat-based computers. Eventually we will build something of comparable power and efficiency.

However, LLMs don’t seem like a viable path to AGI imo.

But it’s 100’ from his front door!

That’s exactly why I was there. I had my car and friend was supposed to have jumper leads.

You gotta sell your friends and/or fam on it, though

No.

Everyone has the same answer.

You did the right thing, the person was angry with no real outlet for it, so their brain found someone to blame to release that tension. They were not thinking rationally and attempts to argue would have been stonewalled and probably would have escalated things.

This is not a justification for their behaviour, it was despicable and wrong. More so my opinion of why anything other than what you did was correct.

I’m really sorry.

Look, we can’t have TVs that last 15 years anymore!

We need to keep people buying every year or two. Otherwise line not go up! Don’t you understand that this is about protecting The Economy?!

My partner has been very bullish on India’s economy in the future. I think the EU is proving her right.

I dunno man.

Company: Here’s a change.

Users: This sucks!

Company: Ok, let’s roll that back.

If the company were Apple, the change would stick. If it were Microsoft, the change would be rolled back for 2 weeks and then quietly re added.

Waow, look at all the money we saved with layoffs. Buy our stock!

Waow, look at all the growth we’re experiencing, we have to hire more developers. Buy our stock!

Of course, not all the companies survive and now there’s decreased competition, so we can shove prices up a little bit further

My knife is chemically inert, shall I insert it into your body?

I’m nearly 40 and the world they are facing is so different to what I experienced that I don’t know if any advice I could give would even make sense.

Don’t suffer fools, I guess. Life is too short to put up with people who don’t, won’t or can’t respect you. You don’t have to make it a big deal, in fact that might be the wrong move if you’re dealing with a narcissist. Instead become uninteresting when interacting with them. The Grey Rock technique.

If something is worth paying for I just do that up-front. (Outside of some exceptions where I actively don’t want to support the creator or license holder)
