I wish I could see you try to tell this to my father when he was working manual labor. I'd pay money.

Manual labor which was so grueling that he had sue his company in order to retire early because he could literally no longer walk and required surgery to remove the extreme bowing in his legs.

You could come in, look at the latest Creosote burns on his skin, and tell him that something-- anything! --would be better than watching an hour of Football.

And, while you're at it, you could try to convince him that smoking's bad too.


> I think the state of food in the US is really bad

Or, perhaps, the state of mental health in the US is really bad.


> Exactly what am I suppose to do?

I think GP is suggesting that you're supposed to do something akin to what Ben Kenobi did while aboard the Death Star, not what he did beforehand.

This, in no way, represents my own feelings or opinion on this matter. I'm just trying to aid the conversation.


No, I was being snarky and that was a mistake and I apologize. For some reason I thought the person above was happy or okay with the current state and can just fck off if/when it affects them negatively.

I basically did what they plan on doing. I fcked off because my country was already too far gone. But I always always make sure I will never talk positively or be in denial about the state it’s in. America isn’t there (yet). What made me snarky was the mistaken hypocrisy.


> or get even more desperate

That's because, to him, "Make America Great Again" == "Make America resemble 1880 as closely as possible".

Peak Gilded Age. Gold-plated lavatories with countless hungry, desperate, and poor to keep them tidy, build bridges, make babies, toil, and die.


> Seems more like an interesting research project

You mean like the kinds of problems digital computing was originally invented to solve?

You know that still exists, right? There are many people using computers to advance the state of Mathematics & related subjects.


Using the same logic... why aren't automobiles illegal?

> I think that maybe I just have more distrust for LLMs than these people?

Context management is not something users treating it like a friend instead of a tool tend to think about in my experience.


Interesting that there was no mention of Symbolics Lisp machines.

"Reduce Loud Sounds" does dynamic range compression. If you pair this with "Enhance Dialogue" you'll probably have an easier time making out what is said.

> Complete side note but anyone else bothered by how they type?

Every non-programmer I know north of 50 or so types like this. It's often the result of using TTS.
