  • The most annoying thing about a lot of these is that tutorials are “minimal viable setup” sorta things. Like “now you have it setup, make sure you tune it for production”

    Dude I’m already in pain from trying to serve these models and you just have to go rub salt into my eyes. “Simplify your stack with <Tech>” they said. “Share your resources effectively and easily with <Tech>” they said. “Here’s your fuckin’ ‘Hello, World’ now GRTFM and buzz off” they said.

    Working close to the metal do be like that.









  • Military recruiting is down and their pipelines are weak as our knowledge and information economy have proliferated and thrived. So: do whatever is needed to make childhood so shitty being raised from a negligent and abusive household, and flyover country future economic prospects so bleak as an adult that an Army 11X MOS looks like a golden ticket out.

    The military doesn’t want well-adjusted, emotionally stable and regulated to enlist for combat arms. Their need for warfighters outweighs the ethics of manipulating a society’s citizens to worship war.

    And there’s only so many officers (whom they actually do want to be emotionally stable, educated, and rational) that they need.


  • Nah, I work with real big data all the time—I’m a ML engineer/DataSci depending on the day.

    It’s not crashing because I put a trivial couple hundred rows of data into a spreadsheet.

    It crashes because there’s some conflict between its Java core and the Linux kernel I’m running it on. It’s been like this across many versions; I keep everything updated, etc. Tried many versions of Java, and OpenJDK because FuckOracle. I’m no Java developer though, so Inwouldnt be able to contribute unless they want to refactor the entire core to Rust in which case I’d love to help.

    I send bug reports and it’s always just crickets—either they don’t know and don’t communicate that they don’t know, or don’t care, or more likely are just too busy with their realjobs to go on the hunt for a solution to a corner-case bug/crash scenario like mine probably is.

    I use office programs so infrequently that I just deal with it. But if I was like my directors and managers who live and die by office productivity apps then I’d have to abandon LibreOffice and go to the closed-source solution.



  • You never ever share the exploit that you intend to leverage for personal gain. Sorry you had to learn that the hard way.

    I made thousands of dollars in World Of Warcraft with a couple of gold and xp exploits that let me build chars that were super leveled and loaded with gold and sell them. Never ripped anyone off, just exploited a game mechanic that I think was unintended. Saved some people some time in exchange for dolla.

    And no, I’m not fucking telling you what it is/was—I don’t think they’ve been patched; I just don’t have time to play or the need for that money anymore. Too busy and well paid with my real job :).
