Tldr: I think current AI hype is trying to go to get to the moon by building a better ladder. It’s useful but for a few select things.

I’ve managed to automate some boring tedious task (get measurements from a dozen different wikipedia article, do simple maths with them), something that would take about an hour to do manually took 15 minutes to argue with an AI and fact check after.

Creative stuff (stories, pictures, music) is amusing for a while but I suspect they are stuck in the same kind of uncanny valley robots have been in for a long time.

I can’t say I’ve been paying close attention. If I were forced to guess I would have said the opposite: men have stronger jawlines.

I’m left handed. I’m used to driving on the right side of the road. I have driven on the left one week in Namibia.Fairly easy to adapt to finding the stick shift with your other hand. Bit harder getting used to the driving on the other side of the road but still not that difficult as long as you’re not tired.

No, it does not matter where you put the wheel or which side your drive on. It’s a matter of what you’re used to. I use the computer mouse in the right hand, and I shoot right handed.

1-10 then 8.

I’m where I want to be, or making progress towards where I want to be in life.

Roughly 20 something times your annual expenses.

There is a whole movement on the Internet called FIRE (financial independence, retire early) if you want to go down that rabbit hole

What do you want your life to look like in 10 years and what are you doing to get there?

Short version of my answer: Same as today but with a house. Saving money and renovating current apartment.

No. Someone more knowledgeable than me was paid good money to think about if we should do it and I’m happy to go with whatever they say over my afternoon on wikipedia level knowledge.

Just like you the thoughts would bounce around in my head for the rest of the evening.

He was probably just having a bad day.

If you want distraction from the thoughts bouncing for a while I’d love to hear about a pleasant interaction you’ve had with a stranger. I talked to a lady the other day and we shared stories of what furniture our puppies had eaten. Feel free to elaborate as much as you like.

I have a box of 500 i got in 2015 with 475 left.

That being said I’m not a salesman that see many new potential customers every week. I got a pile of other peoples business cards in my desk drawer and I’ve used them a few times to order some parts.

Yeah that was me. Come home from school after eating a big school lunch, eat a quarter loaf of bread and 1L milk. Have a 2 hour nap, eat 2 servings for dinner, ask if anyone else wants more before scraping the leftovers in the pots and pans onto my plate.

I’d probably say mint, reasonably newbie friendly. I’ve not tried Bazzite but I hear good things about it.

I currently run Arch btw, it’s not what I’d recommend as a first distro.

Anyway don’t over think it. Get something easy up and running and after a while get curious or annoyed and try something else.

Hope you have an AMD gpu. Been a while since I had a Nvidia but they were twice as annoying to deal with some 7 years ago.

It’s probably unusual to feel that way. How much you should worry about it depends on how much you feel like it gets in the way of your life.

If it makes you feel any better I’ve never smelled anyting like that on a woman with reasonable hygiene standards.

Smell and taste of eggs alone is tolerable but not good. Have to add at least salt to boiled eggs to make them taste OK. Not a huge fan of omelette or fried eggs either but if you put food in front of me I’ll probably eat it.

This has changed over the years. Used to hate them until I was about 25 and just mildly dislike them until 30.

Wild yes. Uncensored yes. Free… nah they just had not figured out how to charge you. Full of popup ads and suspicious links. I gave the family computer aids at least twice.

And forget netflix. You’d spend 6 hours downloading a movie of worse than VHS quality and that was if you were one of the lucky few with a DSL connection.

It was different. I’m not sure it was better.

I’m not far off the bearded version. But the jaw is uncommon to say the least, which is what I guess what you were after. No, I’ve not seen one like that before.

That made me laugh out loud.

Legalise and tax it.

I’ve not done any research but generally making anything illegal is worse for everyone involved.

Did they pick me because I was one of the worlds greatest at something who have ever lived?

Must be something like chess-boxing but with half a dozen more sports mixed in. Chess-box-deadlift-slalom-300m rifle-shot put-canoeing-shrimp taming-minigolf.

You have the self awareness that it’s shit takes.

It’s not so much what if, it’s how you’ll tax someone who can pay the best lawyers and accountants to find loopholes and still find it cheap compared to the tax bill.
